COMPARE the PlatfOrmS--

Now that the W major political parties have held their on conventions. the
platform Of each is Of considerable inter- est to thca average American worker Al
though a political platform is generally proved TO be not too permanent u structure
and promises which are easily made ire easily broken the intentions Of each party
can at least be CLEANED from a study of both platforms, The differences on some
key points are as follows:
LABOR: The Democrat. call for repeal of the TaftlIartcv act: an increase III
the minimum vac from 40 to - cents; and strengthening Of the department Of
labor bv restoring the federal mediation and cancellation service. the United States
cn1lovcn,nt service, and establishing a labor education extension service. The
Republican platform is silent on all Of these points
INFLATI0N: The Democrats condemn the Republicans for rejection Of
President Trumms rice control program. The Republicans promise to attack
HIGH price by cutting government spending and providing 'npcntvcS for pro.
ducton.' However, when they had chance during the special session. they did
TAXATION: The Democrats ask full measure Of relief to low income families
The Republicans statct that excise and inheritance taxes should be given up by the
federal government completely and left to the states.
HOUSING: The Democrats call for comprehensive federal housing lcgisE-
ton including low rental public projects The Republicans recommend fedcraly
financed housing program with private enterprise building wherever possible.
SOCIAL SECURITY: The Democrats go further than the Republicans III
tavoine a national health program, medical research. medical cducaton hospitals
and clinics They favor increasing old agc ad survivors insurance benefits by al
least 50 per cent and reducing the eligible age for women.
BUSINESS: The Democrats pledge intensive enforcement of antitrust laws
The Republicans call for elimination OF unnecessary controls and limitations OF
competition by government organizations.
A quick glance at the foregoing should convince even the most doubtful vote
what to expect in the event Of a Republican victory in November
