in l946 the Republican Party
secured control of both branches OF
the Congress and has been in con-
troll ever since.
1.-THE people did not really mean to
elect Republican Congress. They
were voting against irksome and
irritating annoyances which the wal
had required, and which many OF
them thought should have been all
ready eliminated. But, whatever
the motive, the result was the same
Points to Record of Congress.

These recitals. however. scarcely
more than scratch the surface OF
Republican failures in the Eightiieth
Congress. Despite its repeated
promises in its previous platforms
to extend the benefits Of the social
security system, inaugurate and en-
acted by the Democratic Party. 1t
not only refuses to extend its bene-
fits to those to whom 1t had promised
them, but actually eliminated nearly
three-Quarters of million people
from possible benefits under 1t.
Minimum Pay Plan Rejected.
The Eightieth Congress refused to
enact legislation increasing the
minimum wage paid to American
labor from 10 cents an hour, which
will not buy . single pound OF soup
meat, to 10 cents an hour, which
will just buy a pound Of hamburger.
This brings us to the question OF
imitation, which not one Republican
leader or orator dared to mention
three weeks ago in their convention
held in this auditorium.
Repeatedly, the President OF the
United States called attention to
the increase IN the cost of living
which, since 1945, Notwithstanding
periodical increases In wages, has
reduced the wage earners' buying
power by more than 16 per cent.
1t was upon this issue. In part
that the Republicans won control
of the two Houses Of the Congress
in l946. But this Republican Con-
gress was content to pass a milk
and water voluntary price reduction
measure, in spite of which prices
have continued to soar. Production
they said, was the remedy to the
high cost of living. Repeatedly
1.-THE President urged Congress te
take definite steps to halt thi.
spiral Of increased prices and con.
sequent lower take-home wages

levels. But prices have continued
to rise while a Republican Congress
continued to dwadle.
Recalls Labor Pledge.
In their platform in 1914, the
Republican Party criticized the dis
persion of the agencies dealing with
labor subjects away from the De.
partment Of Labor. and pledged
themselves to consolidate them al
under the Secretary of Labor.
The Eightieth Congress not only

deliberately refused to carry out
that pledge, but have literally
stripped the Department OF Labor
by transferring from it agencies AZ
ready existing under It's jurisdiction
such as the Cancellation Service.
and refused to approve reorganisa-
ton plan sent to Congress by the
President, which would have brought
about d more central jurisdiction
within the department on matters
dealing with labor. ~

cal trade agreements, In an enort
to soften the inequities and exorbi-
tant tariff duties provided In that
law and open upon the doors for
the resumption Of international
trade.
Law in Existence II years.
This law has been in existence for
IA years. It had been renewed and
extended four times prior to the
assembling of the Eightieth Con-
gress. The majority OF Republican
members of both Houses of Congress
voted against its enactment and Its
extension, except for one extension
during the period Of the recent war.
When the law expired on June
i12, 1948. the House of Representa-
tives passed makeshift extension
of one year, intended and calculated
to destroy the whole reciprocal trade
program. 1t provided that no agree
ment could 90 into effect until 1t
had been approved by the Congress
itself, provision which had never
! been included in the trade agree
ment laws previously enacted.
This bill was somewhat modified
| in the Senate, but both houses re-
fused to extend 1t beyond the one
