REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL

preaching a new doctrine to the
people of America-faith in them
selves, faith in the future. A doc
trine of true Americanism against
the defeatism of the New Deal.
Dewey's campaign addresses
make clear two major points:
~ He believes that continuance
of the New Deal in power means
only a continuance Of the past
policies that have failed-pOlicieS
that promise only dOleS in the
peacetime years ahead.
(2) He asserts that the Repnb-
llcan program assures a free, pros
porous, and expanding Amerlca,
with Jobs and security assured for
all
Governor Dewey said:
Il want to make one thing clear.
This is not merely a campaign
against an individual or a political
party. II is not merely a campaign
to displace tired, exhausted. quar-
reling, and pickering administra-
ton with a fresh and vigorous adj
ministration.
at is campaign against an adj
ministration which was conceived
in defeatism, which failed for eight
straight years to restore our do
nestle economy, which has been
the most wasteful, extravagant and
incompetent administration in the
history of the nation, and worst OF
all, one which has lost faith in it.
self and in the American people,"
The New Deal, as revealed by
Governor Dewey, wants to keep
men in the Army-tO camOufiage
unemployment-for the New Deal
has no program to make it pos
sible for the millions of returning
service men to get jobs in private
industry-jobs at good pay, jobs
which will provide for families and
homes.
Continuing Governor Dewey
said:
1.-THE New Deal was founded on
the philosophy that our frontiers
are behind us and all we have left
TO do is quarrel over the division
of what we have. Mr.. Roosevelt,
himself, said in 1892: Our indus
trial plant is built our task
is not necessarily producing more
goods, it is the soberer, less dra-
matte business of administering
resources and plants already in
hand
THE New Deal operated on that
philosophy for seven straight peace
time years with unlimited power. !
AT the end of that time in 1889,
the New Deal gave its own official
verdict on its failure by this cold
admission: The American ecOnO- /
mic machine is stalled on dead CEN
ter
-. 1t took a World War to get
jobs for the American people"
The reasons for the New Deals
failure are now quite clear Dewey
points out First, because there
never was a worse job done of rum
ming our government, and second,
because the present political admin
istration has so little faith in the
United States.
Governor Dewey knows the
problems the solutions. He
declares:
There can be-there must be
Jobs and opportunities for all,
discrimination of race,
creed, color or national origin.
There must be jobs in industry, in
agriculture, in mines, in stores, in
,ffices at a high level of wages.
IF this year, we can put down
brewer the spirit of New Deal de-
eatism that has haunted our gov
for twelve long years, if
We can restore the faith of Amer
cans in America, if we can re-
rain the irresistible, forward pro-
ram which never halted until the
Jew Deal decade of the 1930's then
We need have no fear either at
Iome or abroad.
%. America is not finished. 1t
iced never be finished. America
5 at the morning of her destiny. !
We shall go forward on this mighty /
ointment of ours to build better :
lie for all our people, and in so
ding, we shall help build better
1orld for all the peoples of the
arth."
Dewey has proved that the New
Zeal never made any any real jobs
nd that the administration itself
nows that the war and only the
