last July. The general, In his
present extremities. may have to
accept this kind Of counterfeit.
But the American people won't
do 1t.
We offer you, in place Of this
record. a four-point program Of
strict Government economy. of a
tax program kept as nearly as
possible on pay-aS-we-go basis,
of restraints on excessive private
credit. and of direct price, wage
and rent controls as temporary
pontoon bridges between alb
normal and normal times.
I think such a program, sup
ported in good faith by both the
Congress and the Executive, can
stop imitation without stopping
the healthy. normal growth Of
our economy.
The people must. however. do
their part Of this job. II this
system Of ours works as well as
you and ! think it does, the
battle against imitation will be
finally won, not In the bureaus
Of Government, but In the fields,
in the factories. in the union
halls, In the stores and in the
homes Of America.

Says Americas Budget
Is Determined by Russions

We will have to make most of
our savings in the military de-
partments. About IS cents out
OF a dollar the Government
spends goes now for paying the
costs Of past wars and prevent
ing another one. ] know one
can't buy national security at
q bargain counter. And I en-
phatically reject the idea that
national security must be ad-
Justed to tax ceiling rather
than taxes to national security.
For that is to say that we pro-
pose to continue free and in
dependent-if 1t does not cost
too much. But I don't believe.
either. in the theory that mill
tary budgets are sacred and TN
touchable.
I warn you, however, that the
tightest-fisted Government econ
omy conceivable won't meet this
problem. Despite the Repub-
lican propaganda. our budget is
determined more by the Rus
slams than by the ''bureaucrats."
We are going to survive even
with sacrifice rather than perish
cheap.
The next thing the Govern
ment has to do is keep itself just
as close as possible to a pay-as-
we-go tax standard. When we
pay for these guns by borrowing
money we contribute to infla-
ton. When we collect taxes to
pay for them we help stop infla-
ton.
/ don't like taxes. I shall do
everything ] can to reduce them.
But I will make no promises I
know I cannot keep. We must
spend to be safe. and taxes are
better than imitation. I would
not favor reducing taxes until
we are getting in q dollar to
cover every dollar we spend.
And I'll bank on the American
people, even in an election year,
to understand straight talk and
the need for q balanced budget.
In the last six years, since
the end Of World War II A.
I1ancing. the Governments net
receipts have been 81 billion
more than its expenditures. We
have reduced the Government
debt by $l1 billion. No man in
the United States has worked
harder for q pay-as-we-go poll
icy than President Truman, or
received, I think. less credit for
his achievements on this front.
The Republicans in Congress
have, on the other hand, fought.
this pay as we go program
every inch Of the way. In 1851,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-09-24

for example. the Republicans In
the House Of Representatives
voted 3 to ! against raising
more money to pay our cur
rent war-production bills. Those
were votes for imitation. for
they meant borrowing to pay
those bills. It is hypocrisy for
these men to present themselves
now as the defenders. or even
the friends, of your dollar.
The third thing the Govern
ment must do is to prevent ex-
cessive private borrowing, for
that can be just as infiationary
as excessive Government bor-
rowing.
Some buying on credit Is all
right-like buying a house and
paying on the mortgage instead
of for rent. Some of H. is nee
essary to keep business active.
I But some of it can 60 too far.
I shall hope to be able to work
out with the Congress a set Of
restraints upon excessive pri-
vate credit which will keep the
money market on an even. nom
inf1ationary keel.
Finally. there is the matter Of
direct controls-on prices and
wages and rent. I don't like
them: not many people do. But
If the alternative Is a steady
rise in our food. clothing. rent
and other living costs. then we
must have them. This Is our
situation today.

Problem of Initiation
Another Major Question

America will not entrust it's
future, its hopes, to the masters
of house divided against itself,
to men so divided in their own
thoughts that they cannot, or
will not. tell us where their party
stands on Americas pressing
problems.
But shall yield no further to
my temptation. There are still
issues to be faced. / have tried
as best I can; from city to- city.
to discuss them one by one and
to express my views forthrightly.
not confident ] am always right
or even wise. but certain that
you are entitled to know my
views, right or wrong.
Tonight. here in Baltimore, I
want to discuss another and a
very important issue. This is
the issue we call imitation. In
palmer terms it is the issue Of
whether we are going to be able
to pay our grocery bill. and keep
up with the mortgage or the
rent on the house.
Whether you have q boy Of
draft age, or one in Korea. the
problem Of peace is first in your
mind and I'm your heart. But
this problem Of prices is another
ominous cloud which hangs
heavy over cur thoughts. AS
far as the Government is con-
cerned. it must give both prob
lens top priority.
I want to talk particularly to
whoever in your family does the
shopping and keeps the budget.
I am thinking especially. too, of
those family budgets where only
one Of the two ends ever moves
because all the income Is from
savings or pensions. White-col-
lar workers and schoolteachers
also face q special problem here.
# our question, then, Is what
we are going to do about In
flation, we must first be sure
we understand what causes it.
Those who let their politics
impeach their honesty tell you
that imitation is the product Of
governmental waste. and mis-
management. Whether this is
legitimate politics I shall not
presume to say. But as an
explanation of the causes of
imitation, it is pure poppycock.
It's like a, husband coming into
the kitchen. seeing one potato
peeling that Is too thick, and
exploding that; now he knows
why you can't make ends meet.
I'm for the Government peel
ing its potatoes with a sharp
knife. and o, misery eye. But
I am MOI going to fool myself
or you That meeting q nations
initiation problem Is that simple.
These men play recklessly
with q nations future and the
public's credulity when they
offer such easy solutions. Pre-
scribing q patent medicine with
a good taste for q growth which
they know could become malig-
nant is dangerous practice. This
is a kind of politics which
places party victory above ma
tional welfare and assumes that
the people are fools. 7 shall
do neither.
The causes Of imitation can, I
think, be made plain. Let's stay
In the kitchen q minute longer.
It is as though We were max
ing bread, and while we
answered the phone, an.-eyiI

BY The Associated Press
BALTIMORE. Sept. 24.-The
prepared teri OF Gou. Steren-
sons speech here last night fol-
loDs:
I ind myself tonight a
tempted handicapped to stray
from a path I have followed
now for a month.
Day after day. night after
night, ] have talked about pub
lie questions: international pol
icy, farm policy. labor poll
icy. civil rights, atomic energy.
and many others.
This road has led me through
some 20 States from coast to
coast. It has been lined with
great numbers Of people.
friendly people, people who
nod encouragingly when you
talk to them straight from the
shoulder.
But, strangely enough, the
road Itself is lonely-for I never
meet anybody coming the other
way.
The temptation tonight Is to
talk not about more issues. but
about this road itself, about our
campaign-how it Is going, how
high our spirits are. For I know
now, with the beat Of my heart
no less than with certainty Of
my mind, that this is going to
be another proud year for those
of us who believe in the prin-
ciples Of the Democratic Party.
I have come to realize what I
once could not know-which is
how any man, possessing only
the endowmentS God gives all
men, could qualify for Americas
most sacred trust. The answer
lis now clear to me. 1t is simply
that our party stands close to
the people - and draws it's
strength from them. Mine will
be the job Of knowing my coun-
try and its people well. their
wants, their hopes, their fears.
This I can do. The rest we will
do together.
We know now that we face,
In the party of the opposition, a
hopelessly divided command.
AS Americans. first and political
paftisanS second we find no sat-
iSfaction In this state of affairs
in a year when our country faces
choices of leaders. of attitudes
and Of policies Of such enormous
consequence.
It. IS the fun reflection Of this
weakness that they do not face
the issues. They cannot face
them-for they find no area Of
agreement even among them
selves. Their energies are con-
sumed with conflict and bicker-
ing. Instead of confident, posi-
tive purpose there Is indecision.
uncertainty and compromise in
an effort to reconcile the irrec-
oncilable, the internationalist
and the isolationist, the liberal
and the reactionary. The end
product is loud denunciation,
epithet and abuse Of the Demo-
Gratis, which seems to be the
only thing they can agree upon.
But that will lift no hearts. and
feed no hungry minds and win
no elections.
And so each day their state
ment Of position-on Korea, on
the cost Of living, on foreign
policy and human welfare, on
America-moveS in like a new
fog bank.

Production Defense
Against Hiqh Prices

The ultimate defense against
high prices is more production,
more production Of food and
houses and steel, and Of every
thing we buy. And we are
building that defense every day.
We have raised our food pro-
duction to half again what it
was 20 years ago. We have.
tripled our output Of goods and
services Of all kinds.
Our production capacity to-
day has been so increased that
when our defense production
levels out, we can turn to a
full production Of consumer
goods which win provide the
fullest defense against imitation.
And we'll use that production,
too. all Of it.
In the meantime. we all face
questions which we can, as
individuals, answer either for or
dSdlIlSt 1u1ldL1Ou.
This Is true Of the directors
Of a manufacturing company
when they vote on a proposal
to expand their plants capacity.
It is true Of the members of a
labor union when they vote on
whether to demand q wage in
crease or on what it is to be.
It is true Of the storekeeper
when he is deciding whether to
60 through his shelves and mark
up his prices.
It is true Of the housewife as
she debates in her mind whether
to save or spend what is left
from last weeks pay envelope.
It is a dangerously wrong
feeling that what individual
people do on points such as
these won't matter. Americas
decisions are made this way
in millions of little pieces.
There is one other thing for
US to do as individuals. Infla-
ton feeds on fear of imitation.
We know what scare-buying
does. The present situation de-
mands our serious attention,
but it warrants no panic or
alarm. Prices are up. But so
are wages and so are profits.
So long as we are living better
than we ever did before, infla-
ton has not reached our vitals.
We must remain on our guard.
What this job takes is just COM
mon sense, calmness, and cour-
age. hsss
I have approached this sub
ject with you tonight as
straightforwardly and as seri-
ously as I know how. Imitation
will not be driven out by cam
paign orators Tapping their
arms at it like scarecrows.
I am convinced in my own
mind. and I think you are in
yours. that when the Republic
can leaders, after sabotaging
every anti-inflationary measure
in Congress during the past two
years. reach out this fall to
put a consoling arm around the
American housewife, and whis-
per in her ear that this Is all
somebody else's fault, they won't
deceive her.
Most Of Us are people of small
or at least modest incomes. We
could be hurt badly. a lot Of us.
by just q very little more infla-
ton. Our interest in stopping
rising prices Is as real as to-
morrow nights supper and new
overcoats for the children this
winter. We are not fooling and
we are not going to be fooled.
The time has come for us to
draw a line and say to the forces
Of imitation ''You cannot cross
that line" With your help, I'd
like to do lust that

Points to Loopholes
In Control Lows

The present price, wage ana
rent control laws are, I think.
in pretty bad shape. They are
pockmarked with loopholes,
loopholes bored by special
interest groups so that they
could feed and fatten on infla-
ton. Yet I am convinced from
what I know Of the situation.
and I make no pretense Of being
an economist, that these laws
are operating as essential
brakes upon an economy which
would otherwise get out Of hand.
I shall favor retaining the
controls we now have until
prices stop going up; and If
they don't stop before January
l. I think the situation should
be re-examined and Congress
should take further steps to
stop them.
This will mean. II 1t has to
come. tighter wage controls as
well as tighter price controls. I
don't know whether the wage
and price increases which came
out of the steel case this year
were required by what had hap
pened elsewhere In the economy
or not. But I do know that many
people see in that case a further
impetus to imitation. It brings
into sharp focus the question Of
whether the price and wage
loopholes aren't becoming big
ger than we can afford. We
just can't be either pulled or
pushed any further into the
twisting cyclone Of imitation.
I have a deep belief in a free
economy. I look forward
anxiously to the time when
these casts on our economy
these price. rent and wage
controls-can come off. I can
not tell you when that will be.
for I can only guess as to the
Kremlin's future course Of con-
duct or misconduct. I can only
say to you that ! believe, with
the modern doctors. that a
healthy, but temporarily frac-
tured economy, like q healthy
patient. should get out Of bed
and get active again as
quickly as possible.
I wish I could tell you how
my position on this matter diff
fers from that Of my distin-
guished opponent. But I cannot.
for he has stated none. He has.
however, permitted the astonish-
ing statement to be made for
him that he agrees with
Senator Taft on all matters of
domestic policy. And Senator
Taft's record as the leader Of
the inflationary shock troops in
Congress is clearly written.
The great majority of Re-
publicans in Congress voted to
end rent control. They voted,
too, to end controls on steel,
copper, aluminium and other
vital defense production ma
terials. Four times q major
ity of the Renlb1icans in h0th
the Senate and the House voted
to end controls on all things
consumers buy.
This is the Republican posi-
ton on imitation.
This is the record the Repub-
lican candidate has bought. It
is a record the Nation refused
to buy when it was being made.
IT. is q record the Republican
Party refused to buy in Chicago

Calls Defense Spending
Cause of InfIotion
We have imitation today-not
disastrous, but serious - be-
cause the gods of war. working
through their agents in the
Kremlin. have dumped a barrel
Of yeast in the bread of our
economy.
If they have not-and the
General seemed to disagree with
me on that in Cincinnati last
night-perhaps he will tell US
what and who has caused the
large defense expenditures.
In my innocence, I've thought
1t was the Communist threat to
peace.
American industry has been
suddenly called upon to make
tens of billions of dollars worth
of guns and planes and tanks
and bombs. This is the yeast
which causes imitation.
These unexpected demands
mean that the prices Of steel,
aluminium, machine tools and
the like-as well as labor-go
up, unless something is done
about it. because the supply Of
these things is limited. Those
who have them to sell can de-
mand more for them because
the Government must have the
end products. The supply Of
consumer goods Is diminished.
because factories which made
roller skates are now making
gun assemblies.
The other side of this picture
is that those who buy have more
to buy with and will therefore,
even though grudgingly. pay
higher prices. The manufac-
turerS have orders for guns, SO
they can pay higher prices for
steel and for labor. Consumers,
you and I, have had increases
in our incomes. so we will pay
more for the roller skates we
can find. even though we may
look a little grimly at the store
keeper.
If this. then, is our problem.
what can we do about 1t? Do
we have to just sit back and let
prices and wages keep chasing
each other on up?
!, IF I sense rightly the mood Of
people today, they are ready to
say. 1--WE want these increases
to stop-and we mean busi-
ness"
And If we do mean business,
I say that we can get results.
Telling you what have in
mind is going to be a little dull
for I haven't any trick ideas
up my sleeve.
This job takes courage and it
takes common sense. It has to
be a partnership job-with the
people and the Government
working together.
Let's not talk generalities.
There are four things I think
the Government has to do.
First, there Is the necessity
Of the Government cutting its
non-essential expenditures to
the bare bones Of safety. It is
the biggest spending agency in
the country and every dollar
it spends adds some to the infia-
tionary pressure. It must spend
every penny as though it were
a five-dollar bill: and it must
not spend a single penny for
anything that is not needed
right now.
, This is going to mean q strict
auditing Of every payroll in the
Government and slashing every
piece OF administrative fat. I've
been through this process in
Illinois and I know what it
means.
This Is going to mean no
pork-barrelling while our econ
omy is in its present condition.
II your principal interest in life
Is getting a new federally
financed boondoggle for your
State. you had better vote for
somebody else. I've vetoed more
appropriations in Illinois than
any Governor in our history.
