Stassen, whose appearance in
Detroit was planned in talks with
Dewey, called for election of a Re-
publican administration Carried
on in keeping with the sound nrin-
ciples OF a truly liberal philoso-
ply :"
The speaker pictured the Presi-
dent making "a transparent at
tempt to create disunity and to
benefit politically by deceiving la
boz" before an audience "buiIt nm
with labor boss threats of a S3 fine
for nOn-attendance."
Mr. Truman spoke before a La
Dor Day rally sponsored Jointly bv
the AFL and CIO which was at
tended by an estimated 100000 to
100000 persons.
Labor will not be the tail on
tne political kite of any one can
didate or any one party" Stassen
said.
He declared Mr.. Truman "began
to make a record of failure at home
and abroad" when he had a ma
5ority of Is in the Senate and 81
in the House.
POtsdam Debacle Seen
He went to POtsdam for the con-
ference of Allied victors "withOut
taking with him a single repre-
sentative of our Republican Party
even though the bipartisan foreign
policy had been we'll established"
Stassen said.
A notable omission from the par
ty was Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan, now COP chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, Stassen nOted-"and Pots
dam was a colossal failure for the
United States"
And here at home, the speaker
went on, Mr.. Truman took a whole
series of infatiOnary steps. On
his own initiative he sets off the
lnhatiOnary spiral from which this
country is still suffering"
This is the imitation" Stassen
added, which he now tries to blame
on the Republican Party"
The speaker linked Mr.. Truman
with Henry Wallace in that earlv
postwar era. Wallace, then secre-
tary of commerce, later was dis
missed by Mr.. Truman in a dis
agreement over policy toward Rus
sia.
Mr.. Truman and the present Pro-
gressive Party Presidential candi-
date were in agreement on the er-
rOneOus miscOnceived appraisal of
postwar America" Stassen said.
They both believed, he declared.
that the end of the war would be
followed by a depression.
Mr.. Truman released "major
wartime controls" in August, 1945,
said, and this was followed
by an infatiOnary upswing.
Mr.. Trumans action and his
speeches brought on "an all-time
high record of strikes and work
stOppages, Stassen said.
And the President still is follow
ing erroneous economic advice
with miscalculatiOns consistently
based on a pessimistic view of the
future of America" he added.
Little Judgment, Less Faith"
With a, record of little Judgment
and less faith he once again sets
up as a prophet and at
tempts to arouse in America an un-
nameless fear of future
depression, unemployment and cha
Os If he is not retained in Office"
Stassen said.
Mr.. Truman on Monday told la
Dor that it could elect "a reaction
ary administration and go into an
era of fear"
