SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-
Tert of an address tonight by GoUD
Thomas E. De1Uey on the subject OF
imitation:
1t is q joy to be in San Francisco
again. 1t always is but tonight !
am glad to be here for special
reason. Just across the bay is the
county which, for so many years,
has been the home of the next Vice
President of the United States. Our
country owes a debt to the people
OF Alameda County.
When Earl Warren came here rs
. young man, his neighbors had the
good sense to size him up right away
for the kind of man he is. They
were so right that in due course all
California heard about him and
after his remarkable career as
Deputy District Attorney and Dis
trict Attorney, the people of the
State had the good sense to elect
him Attorney General.
As Attorney General, he did the
kind Of a job he always does-so
good job, you could not even start
a political argument about it. He
just naturally became Governor
and after four years, both Republi-
cans and Democrats reelected him.
Great Day, He Says.
That was q great day for Cali
fornia and it was great day for
the Nation. For the people of all
the United States soon found out
what the people of this State-and
I may add, some of the rest of us
already knew about Earl Warren
Your great Governor will not only
be the next Vice President but he
will be full partner in your next
Republican administration.
Incidentally, if the people in Ala
media County or anywhere else In
California are developing any other
men like Earl Warren. I wish you
would let me know. We would like
to borrow them for the National
Government. For he is mighty
good illustration of what Is going to
happen to the Government OF the
United States-beginning next jan
uary.
We are going to install In Wash
ington an administration made up
of the ablest Americans-men and
women who are really big enough
for the worlds biggest job. We are
going to give them full response
bility to 60 ahead and do the job
without pickering and quarrelling,
without stepping on each others
toes or getting into each other S
hair. We will have an administra-
ton that is a team and knows how
to work as a team. The unity We
all want for the Nation will be
practiced In the Nations Capital.
Sees Difficult Task.
II will not be easy-this task that
lies ahead of us. There is peace
to be won-in a world where ag-
gression is still rampant. There
are new goals of freedom, justice
and opportunity to be reached
in a world where there is too much
prejudice, ill-will and selfishness.
These are serious difficulties. But,
I firmly believe that, with our faith
restored, there are no difficulties
which a united America cannot sur
mount.
One of these dif1culties-one that
every one of us is up against every
day is high prices. Every wife and
mother who has been out shopping
for her family today has been up
against that difficulty. And what a
maeificent job of management our
wives and mothers have been doing
to get the last stretch out OF our
dollars. If our National Govern
ment managed its household affairs
half as we'll, we would have fewer
problems today.
High prices are a hard fact for
many other people, for white collar
workers, civil servants, teachers,
professional people, for our aged
who live on pensions and a great
many more whose incomes don't go
up when prices do.
Promises to Check Imitation.
The hardship of high prices IS
not an economic accident. 1t is
the result of definite causes. 1t is
the result of maladjustments in our
economy. 1t is part of the busl-
ness of Government to remedy these
Embellishments. We will begin to
remedy them when we get a Nation
al administration which offers no
bag OF tricks, which knows the diff
ference between sound policies and
unsound ones, which can make its
sound policies work, which can get
the kind of brakes we need on inf1a-
ton and knows how these brakes
should be applied.
Obviously, the present inflationary
high prices arose under the leader
ship of the present administration.
But I don't place the whole blame
on the Government in Washington.
That might be the easy thing to
do. But high prices are not politl-
cal problem. They are an economic
problem. I want no part in any
effort to play politics with human
misfortune. I want no part OF
any campaign which aims to make
personal political profit out Of the
