Recalls New Dealers Attacks

We have listened without surcease to the
shrl abusive TRADES of Nj" Ickes We have
heard Vice President Wallace recklessly de-
nouncing unspecfed Americans as Fascists.
We have been treated daily to blow by blow
accounts of innumerabie feuds within the New
Deal itself You will recall the long quarrel
between the vice president and the secretary of
commerce in which they publicly called each
other "obstructionist" and liar"
Then, there was the long series of quarrels
within the War Production Board-quarrels we
now know to have been promoted by the New
Dealers who have at length succeeded in taking
it over. This running feud recently eliminated
in the resignation of several top officials of the
WPB while the head of the board was shipped
off to China by Mr.. Roosevelt himself.
do not believe in that quarreling, blcker-
ing kind Of government. An administration
which cannot unite it's own house even in war
can never unite the nation for the tremendous
peace tasks ahead of us.

FDR.s Failure With Congress

My opponent has demonstrated that he
cannot work with the present Democratic
Congress.
How in the name of the future Of our
country can he be expected to get along with
the Republican Congress which will certainly
be elected this fall?
We need in this country administra-
ton that wants to work with the elected repre-
sentatives of the people and that knows how to
do It. We can get such an administration only
by getting new chief executive
There is third thing that is essential to
achieving our agreed objective of world peace
and prosperity. This absolute essential is
strong and vigorous America with jobs for all
Is fourth term indispensable to that? Once
again let's look at the record
When this administration took office in
1888, the depression was already more than
three years old
BY 1884 that depression had lasted longer
than any other in the previous 100 years of
American history. Yet, there were then II 900.
600 unemployed in the United States.
BY 1910, after the New Deal had been in
offlce full seven years. it had enjoyed un-
Precedented power it had spent So billion dol
lars, and there were still 10 million UNEMPLOYED.

Unity for a Lasting Peace

We must have the strength of unity within
our government and among our people II we
are to contribute to the building of lasting
peace. AS first step to that end, we must have
a government in which the lines of response
bility are clearly laid down.
We must have the kind of an administra-
ton that inspires teamwork and devotion to
the service of the country. l propose that we
install that kind of administration next Jan. 70.
The one indispensable thing to achieving
this teamwork and devotion, this unity in gov
eminent we have so long lacked is change
from the indispensable man. With that new
unity in our government, we will achieve the
unity among our people SO essential to the peace
and prosperity Of America and of the world.
Now there is second thing that is essen
ta to achieving our agreed objective of peace
and prosperity. That essential thing is joint.
harmonious action between the president and
the Congress. Is fourth term indispensable to
that?

DEP. FRED A. HARTLEY of New
tC Jersey has called attention to an
amazing fact-the fact that, under
the federal tax laws, the homeowner
has been forgotten man.
If a person-or a corporation
owns residential property which is
occupied by tenant, and from which
the owner derives revenue in rental,
that owner may deduct annually
from gross income, in making fed
eral income tax return, sum equal
to 3 per cent of the value of the
property.
This deduction represents depre-
citation.
Business concerns are also per-
mitted to make a similar deduction
on their plants and properties.
But if a homeowner occupies his
premises with his own family, deriv-
ing no profit from it and in most
cases contributing to the good char
acter of the neighborhood, no deduc-
tion for depreciation is allowed.
Yet the man who provides such
a dwelling place for his wife and
children has to make just as large
an investment as landlord owning
the same property would make, and
has to pay out just as much in state
or local taxes.
This is obviously an unjustifable
discrimination against large group
of our worthiest citizens which Mr..
Hartley hopes to have Congress
abolish.

Pedestrian Protection
DEATH
AFTER
DARK

Danger is on the night shift!
Three times as many pedestrians
are killed during hours Of dark
ness even though there are fewer
cars operating. Drivers just don't
see pedestrians at night soon
enough! What's worse is that the
pedestrian believes he is visible
even in dark clothing. He isn't!
As a result he's hit. Wearing or
carrying whit, and crossing eau
tiously prevent such accidents.

Praises BarkIey's independence

You remember how the other senator's,
regardless of party, rose as one man to
cheer this declaration Of independence by Sena-
tor Barley and the members of the House,
regardless of party, crowded into the Senate
chamber to shake Mr. Barkley's hand.
But this dramatic episode was only an
example of the long continued trend. There
exists today hopeless division amounting to
open warfare between the Congress and the
President We cannot enter this critical period
ahead with chief executive at war with
Congress.
1t is a part of the job of a president to
work in harmony with Congress just as it is
part of the job of governor to work in
harmony with the Legislature.
l can speak with feeling on that point.
have worked closely with the Legislature Of
my own state. We have had many difficult
problems to work out. But we have never found
it impossible to reach agreement when we sat
down together to discuss these problems.
If we cannot agree at the first meeting
we meet again, and often sit together far into
the night talking the whole thing over and
eventually reaching meeting of minds.
If we have learned any lesson from watch
ing the rise of fascism elsewhere in the world
surely we should have learned the -need for
strengthening, not undermining, representative
government

Build Peace for Years to Come

The American people know that peace will
be the work of many many people all over the
world for many years. We must build a struc-
-ture of peace which our people and all people
will support not merely this year-or the next
four years-but for 25, so, and many more
years TO come
1t is for these reasons that ! have taken
unprecedented steps to put the present confer
ences at Dumbarton Oaks on nonpartisan
basis 1t is my hope-my earnest hope-that
in this we have laid the sound groundwork for
a future American foreign policy which will
always be nnonpartisan' regardless of the party
in or out of power
Now what will come after these confer
ences? Tentative agreements will be reached.
Then each of the members of the conferences
will go back 10 his own government for dis
cussion of points of agreement and the solution
of points of disagreement.
Then we hope that the other nations of the
world will be invited to conferences at the earli
est possible moment For there will be no peace
unless it is just peace in which the small and
the weak participate as well as the great and
the mighty.

Faith in Future Essential

We need, above ALL government which
believes in the future of the American people.
These, then, are three elements essential
to achieving our agreed objective of peace and
prosperity in America and in the world
If we are to have unity, we obviously need
new administration to bring it about. If we
are to have harmony between the president and
Congress, If we are to have strong and vigor-
Gus America with jobs for ALL then we need a
new administration to bring it about
Let's have no more of this pretense about
indispensable men. There are no indispensable
men.
If our Republic after $50 years of self
government is dependent upon the endless con-
tinuance of one man in office then the hopes
which animated the men who fought for the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitu-
ton have indeed come to nothing.
The peace and prosperity of America and
of the world can never depend on one man.

x. K: Please advise me what to

very anxious to harm me if possible.
I am not used to fussing and fight
ing all of the time with neighbors.
Should I report it to the police?
Ans: The best way possible to

ply the Golden Rule treat him
as you would like to be treated.
In many instances, you will find
that you are going to have to go
more than half way to get along

to go to any extreme to make peace
than to tolerate pickering and un-

E. G. R.: I have four children.
The two oldest ones are by another
man and the two youngest by my
present husband. My husband
didn't act like he should before the
last baby was born and I came home
to live with my parents. He hasn't
spent a night with me since the last
baby was born. He declares that
he will not come back to my par
ents' home to live. Yet he wants
me to go to his parents home to
live and I refuse. Should l go back
to his home or continue to stay with
my own parents?
Ans: With four children look
ing to you for support, you can't
afford to antagOnize your husband
too much. True, you wouldn't be
happy living in the home with your
husbands people but neither
would he enjoy living with your
parents. What you both must real
ize is that it is not the place of
either of your parents to support
you. IOur stubbOrnness has been
to no avail. Don't deprive your chill
dren of home life by continuing it.
Help your husband to find suitable
place to live away from your fam
lilies.
R. E. R.: I am deeply in love with
young man and we were engaged.
I have known him some time and
have loved him from the beginning.
We were getting along fine until
he insisted on a more intimate re-
lationship. I have always believed
that such belonged to man and wife
and tried to explain how I felt
about the matter. He said that I
couldn't love him. We parted. I
want him back because I love him
deeply. Did I do the right thing
Ans: You were very wise to have
the courage of your convictions.
If the boy loves you, he will see
