and the Democratic platform says
it ought to be repealed.
I tried to strengthen the Labor
Department., and the Republican
platform of 1914 said that if they
were in power, they would build up
a strong Labor Department. Do
you know what they've done to the
Labor Department? They've simply
torn it up. There's only one bureau
left that's functioning and they cut
the appropriations on that so it can
hardly function. I recommended an
increase in the minimum wage.

1882 was due to the policies Of the
Republican Party control OF the
Government of the United States.
The Republican Party, as said
a while ago, favors the privileged
few and not the common, everyday
man. Ever since its inception, that
party has been under the control OF
special privileges, and they con-
cretely proved it in the Eightieth
Congress.
Urged Price Controls.
They've proved it by the things
they did to the people and not for
them. They've proved it by the
things they failed to do. Now, let
us look at some of them, just few.
Time and time again, I recon-
mended the extension of price con-
troll before it expired on June &c. 1946.
I asked for that extension in
September, 1945, in November, 1e45,
and in the message on the state OF
the Union in 1916.
That price control legislation did
not come to my desk until June 80,
1916, on the day on which 1t was
supposed to expire, and it was such
rotten bill that I couldn't sign it.
And 80 days after that they sent me
one that was just as bad, and had
to sign it because they quit and
went home.
1t was said when OPA died that
prices would adjust themselves for
the benefit of the country. They've
adjusted themselves, all right. They
have gone all the way off the chart
in adjusting themselves at the ex-
pense of the consumer and for the
benefit of the people that hold the
goods.
I called a special session of Con-
gress in November, 1947-November
II, 1947-and I set out 10-point
program for the welfare and benefit
of this country, among other things,
standby price control.
I got nothing and Congress has
still done nothing. Way back four
and one-half years ago. while I was
in the Senate, we passed a housing
bill in the Senate known as the
Wagner -Ellender- bill. 1t was
a bill to clear the slums in the big
cities and to help erect low-rent
housing. That bill, as said, passed
the Senate four years ago. 1t died
in the House. That bill was REIN
troduced in the 8Oth Congress as
the Taft-Ellender-W Wagner bill. The
name was slightly changed but it
was practically the same bill and it
passed the Senate. 1t was allowed
to die in the House of Representa-
tives. The Banking and Currency
Committee sat on that bill.
Still in Rules Committee.
1t was finally forced out of the
committee. Then the Rules Com
Evening star., 1948-07-15

they came there, and that bill is at
rest in the House Of Representatives.
The Republican platform urges
extending and increasing social Sc
curity benefits, and yet when they
had the opportunity, they took $780,
900 people OF the social security
rolls. I wonder If they think they
can fool the people of the United
States with such poppycock as that.
There is a long list of these
promises in that Republican plat
form. If it weren't so late, I would
ften you about all Of them.
I have discussed a number of
these failures of the Republican
Eightieth Congress and every one of
them Is important. Two Of them
are of major concern to nearly
every American family. The failure
to do anything about high prices
and the failure to do anything about
housing. My duty as President re-
quires that use every means within
my power to get the laws the people
need on matters of such Importance
and urgency. I am, therefore, call
ing this Congress back into session
on the 26th Of July.
On the 26th day of July, which out
in Missouri we call turnip day, I'm
going to call that Congress back,
and I'm going to ask them to pass
laws hating rising prices and to
meet the housing crisis, which they
say they're for in their platform.
To Ask Other Action. 4
At the same time, shall ask them
to act upon other vitality needed
measures, such as aid to education,
which they say ther are for; a ma
tional health program; civil rights
legislation, which they say they are
for; an increase in the minimum
wage, which I doubt very much they
are for; AN extension of social Sc
curity coverage and increased bene-
fits, which they say they're for;
funds for projects needed in our
program to provide public power
and cheap electricity.
BY indirection, this Eighteith Con-
gress has tried to sabotage the pow
er policy which the United States
has pursued for II years. That pow
er lobby is just as bad as the real
estate lobby which is sitting on the
housing bill. I shall ask for an ade-
quate and decent law for displaced
persons in place of this anti-Semitic,
anti Catholic law which this Eight
ieth Congress passed.
Now, my friends, If there's any
reality behind that Republican plat
form, we ought to get some action
out Of the short session Of the
Eightieth Congress. They could do
this Job in Is days if they want to.
And they'll still have time to go out
and run for ONCE.
They're going to try to dodge their
responsibility. They're going to
drag all the red herrings they can
across this campaign, but I'm here
to say to you that Senator Barkley

There were enough people in that
Congress who would have voted fol-

Now everybody likes to have low
taxes, but we must reduce the
national debt in times of prosperity
and when tax relief can be given
it ought to go to those who need II
most and not to those who need II
least, as this Republican rich mans
tax bill did when they passed 1t
over my veto on the third try.
The first one Of these tax bills
was. simply so rotten that they
couldn't even stomach it them
selves. They finally did send one
that was somewhat improved but
it still helps the rich and sticks the
knife into the back Of the poor.
The Republicans came here few
weeks ago and they wrote up a
platform. I hope you have all read
that platform. They adopted q
platform and that platform had a
lot OF promises and statements Of
what the Republican Party is for,
and what they'd do If they were in
power. They've promised to do in
that platform a lot Of things I've
been asking them to do, and that
they've refused to do when they
had the power.
The Republican platform cries
about cruelty high prices. I have
been trying to get them to do some
thing about high prices ever since
they met the first time.
Slum Clearance in Platform.
Now, listen to this one. This one
is equally as bad and as cynical.
The Republican platform comes out
for slum clearance and low rental
housing. I've been trying to get them
to pass that housing bill ever since
they met the first time, and it's still
resting in the Rules Committee,
that bill Is.
The Republican platform favors
equality Of educational opportunity
and the promotion of education. I
have been trying to get Congress to
do something about that ever since
Evening star., 1948-07-15

and I are not going to let them get
away with it.
Now, what that worst Eightieth
Congress does in this special session
will be the test. The American peo-
pie will not decide by listening to
mere words or by reading a mere
platform. They'll decide on the
record. The record as it has been
written. And in the record is the
stark truth that the battle lines of
1948 are the same as they were back
in 1882 when the Nation lay pros
trate and helpless as a result of
Republican misrlle and inaction.
Defenders Of Equal Opportunity.
In 1882 we were attacking the
citadel of special privilege and greed.

Belief in God Today

THE Bible is a Book for today
l. any day, every day. It reveals
the purpose Of creation, both CT the
universe and man himself. It re-
veals the loving concern of God for
every soul. It portrays his forbear-
ance and his mercy and his exceed
ing kindness, even to sinful men and
women who reject his love.
Best Of all, the Bible tells us the
sweetest story ever told - the
story of how God gave his only
begotten Son that whOsOever be-
Iieveth on him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Religion, the Christian religion. is
the most practical proposition in the
world. Every man is constantly in
reach Of God. if only he will believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ. God is
yonder In the loneliest watchtower
OF the timberlands. He is yonder on
the storm-tossed ship at sea. He is
everywhere, waiting to own and
bless any and all who will come
to him through Jesus Christ.

only through Jesus Christ.
Jesus goes on to say to Philip,
eff We shall ask anything in my

need of our day and generation
is a fresh understanding of Cod
his nature and his will. We can
know him through Jesus, Christ.
And we come to know him
through faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ.

And He Is Our Father

MOT only is God the Creator and
L Sustainer of the physical uni
verse; but he is also our Father. He
knows us each by name. He cares
for the sparrows, simply because
they are sparrows. He cares for us
because we are his children, made
in his image, capable of fellowship
with him. The end of man, as the
Catechism clearly teaches, is to en-
Joy God and glorify him forever.
Read again the passage that de-
scribes Paul's visit to Athens, and
how he observed that the people,
though quite intelligent, were
worshipping many different gods.
Paul summoned them to worship
the one true and living God.
When we acknowledge God as
Maker and Father, we are then en-
able to serve him in conscious as
surance of his love and care for us
as his adopted children.

it for granted. It is the goodness
and mercy of God that permits us
to open our eyes, to breathe, to

He causes the sun to shine and
the tides to ebb and flow. He
causes the rain to fall and the
winds to bear their blessings. He
holds the earth in it's course. God
is the maker of every good thing.

WILL There Be
A DEPRESSION?

Do you think there will be a
depression after the presidential
election in November? Do you
think will increase or decrease?
Will prices be higher o r lower?
These are the questions that
were asked this week for the opin-
ion column.
Mr.. McCommas, Of Lagoon pl.,
| wouldn't say if there will be a
depression or not. And prices will
probably stay the same.
VIM. Scott, of Xenia. No there
will hardly be a depression right
now, it is a little too soon. Prices
went down they will probably will
be the same. Wages will probably
go down.
Mrs. Ingram, Of Willard street,
II believe if the Republican get
in, there will probably be a de-
preston, but if the Democrats win,
there wont be. l think prices will
renal n the same, but wages may
decrease.
Mrs. Lett, of Lagoon place, No
depression, and l don't think it is
left up to the parties, or to the
party that will win. Think it is
just to soon for a depression. But
do think prices will rise a little.
Mrs. Scales, Of Benning place.
Yes, there will probably be a de-
preston, and prices might go
down.
Mrs. Clegg, of lakewood avenue.
No, l don't think there will be a
depression, but there will prob
ably be a slight recession. Prices
will be about the same, and wages
might decrease.
