dom has died.
There would be little left to that
bulwark of liberty under a Presl-
dent whose attitude toward the
peoples representatives Is tnat ex-
hibited in the recent performance
on the West Coast
He declared that there Is little
use" in Congress remaining in ses-
sion and working day and night
to complete constructive programs
when we have President whose
attitude toward Congress and its
philosophy is that of President
Truman"
Attacks Truman Program.
The Ohioan said Mr.. Truman's S
program would create a nation
completely regimented, choked by
taxation, under the domination OF
centralized bureaucracy and arbi-
trary union leadership"
"If the President had his way
Senator Taft continued, there
would be an immediate increase In
taxes in every category. Since the
wealthy already pay greater part
Of their income in taxes, most of the
burden would fall on the middle
and lower incomes"
Senator Taft concluded:
"Our only hope of winning the
great theological war today is to
elect an administration which abhors
regulation and spending and federal
power, which believes in liberty
equality and justice. which believes
in the success of the American sys-
tenn, which Is prepared to spread
American philosophy throughout the
world, to meet the Communist
crusade with American faith"
president Truman has opened his
campaign for nomination and elec-
ton" Senator Taft said.
He added that the President "is
travelling through the country with
a 15-car train at the expense of the
voters. He is Safeguarding Con-
gress at every whistle station in the
West for the simple reason that Con-
gress happens to differ with him IN
his whole philosophy of govern
ment."
Itemizes Truman Program.
Senator Taft said the President IS
program would:
l. Create Nation completely
regimented."
2. Give him power to fix prices
and wages and regulate all phases
of industry in his own arbitrary
selection and discretion.
3. Destroy our free economy and
adopt those controls which in every
country in Europe have so reduced
production that our taxpayers are
paving seven billion dollars a year
today to help support them"
4. Destroy the freedom OF the
medical profession and make every
doctor an employe of the Federal
Government"
5. Repeal the (Taft-Hartley> law
and restore labor union officers to
their former position, where there
was no recourse against their arbi-
trary actions either by the en-
ployer, by the public, or by the
labor union members themselves"
Sees Increased Spending.
= Restore. the days when every
small employer was at the mercy of
a labor union cficer,"
7. Bring about vastly increased
spending by the Federal Govern
ment. I have never heard of a
spending project which has invoked
his opposition. No matter how wild
the proposal, he will indorse it."
8. Bring about IAN immediate in
crease in taxes in every category"
9. Impose on the American peo-
pie universal compulsory military
training There can hardly be a
greater limitation of individual
liberty
10. Return to the same soft policy
toward communism which was fol-
lowed by his predecessor, the policy
which placed Russia in the powerful
position it occupies today.
