to put out some publicity on

had reported having a soldier

Miss Louisa Wilson of the
publicity staff said she needed
more information about Col. w.
T. Ryder. So she called up the
adjutant generals office.
She listed the things she
wanted TO know and was told TO
hold on while the information
was looked up. At last, the

THESE DAYS

THE security plank in the Re-
L publican platform was writ
ten by Senator Robert Taft who
is student of this problem.
Its very first words establish
the goal which is ito prevent
hardship and. poverty in Amer
lea"
The plank then promises TO
apply existing old age and I'M
employment insurance to all 10
whom il does not now apply.
but insists upon the return Of
the public employment system
TO the states, with some federal
aid.
Referring TO re dera i state
health programs, the platform
says:
1.-THE continuation Of these and
other programs relating to
health, and the stimulation ny
federal aid of state plans to
make medical and hospital serv-
ice available to those I'm need
without disturbing doctor
patient relationships or socializ-
ing medicine"
In this plank lies fundamen-
tai conflict between the Repub-
leans and the New Deal.
The Republicans do not be-
lieve that it is necessary 10
burn down the barn because
there is a rat in il.
Most Americans can and do
provide for themselves and want
nobody's aid.
We are an independent self
reliant people who freely give
but abhor accepting charity.
And although the New Deal has
sugar coated much that used to
be called charity, by calling it
a human right. the fact remains
that it is a hand-out and, as a
people, we don't like it.
DUT there is a comparatively
- small number of Americans
whom we shall have to help. Let
us put il at a terrifically high
figure and say that 10 per cent
of the American people will
need help.
1t must be provided and under
our system. it is preferable that
il should be provided by the
states instead of by the federal
government.
This is sound procedure and
more in harmony with Ameri-
can practices than the huge
bureaucracy which is being
set up in Washington apparently
to knock everybody down.
The labor plank was prin-
cipally the product of a COM
mittee presided over by Bill
Hutchinson of the carpenters
union.
The principal points in this
plank say that labor objects to
the bureaucratic DEGREES of the
government boards which limit
the union in collective bargain
ing and really substitutes the
government agency for the
union, "
THEN they object to wage
L freezing which has been not
only false in conception but in
execution as well. While prices
are going up constantly. wages
are frozen to the workers
detriment. They say so in the
plank.
Then there is an appeal for
the restoration Of the depart
ment of labor. The AFL natn-
