Text of Hoover Speech Attacking and Answering Criticism Of

safeguarding men from eco
nomic oppression. The Rerub-
lican Party continued to put
restraints on oppressive business
up to its last moments in office
in 1888. To prove that, I must
recite a long list of Feredal laws
passed under Republican Presl-
dents.
1t was Republicans who, by
successive laws from 1903 to
1910 gave the Interstate Com
merce Commission it's full
authority to control railway
rates. In 1910 came the control
of the telephone and telegraph
rates.
In 1906 Republicans passed
the Pure Food and Drug Acts.
Returning to Office after be-
ing out for eight years, Re-
publicans, in 1922, regulated the
grain exchanges. In 1924 they
secured regulation Of the Fed
eral fisheries. In 1926 came
the regulation of aviation. In
1927 came the regulation of
radio. In 1880 the Tariff Com
mission "a statistical agency, 1,
was transformed into a BIZ
partisan body for the regulation
OF the tariff, in order to take
the tariff out of politics.
And in 1880 came the creation
of a real Federal Power Com
mission.
In 1882, we reformed the
bankruptcy laws so as to pre-
vent the flood of fraud on
creditors.
I may sum up that of the
eighteen major acts regulating
business, by erecting standards
of conduct, twelve were of Re-
publican origin and four origi-
mated under Cleveland and
Wilson.
Does this Republican record
look like the tool of big busi-
ness" or privilege? It is the very
essence of preserving men free
from economic oppression.
The New Dealers have pre-
ferred creeping Socialism to
the establishment of proper
standards Of conduct among
free men.

Labor.


AS to labor, in 1908, Republic
cans created the Department of
Labor and Commerce. Return
ing to Office after the Wilson
administration, we secured in
1923 the abolition of the H.
hour day in industry. A Re-
publican administration was
the first officially to establish
collective bargaining when we
established the Railway Media
tion Board in 1926. The act
limiting the use of Federal court
injunctions in labor disputes
was signed by a Republican
President. Was this reactionary?

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The
tcrt OF former President Hoo
Uer's speech ouer the CHS radio
and teleUiSion networks tonight:
I have tonight come out of
what I had hoped was final re-
tirement from political activi-
ties. l have done so at Gen.
EiSenhowers request. I have
done so because ! believe Gen.
Eisenhower and the Republican
ticket should be elected. I am
convinced that the fate of our
country in these confused and
perilouS times hangs upon
change in the administration in
Washington.
My major purpose is to ad-
dress the 40 per cent-about 40
million-of our eligible voters
who have come of age since
there was Republican admin
1Stration. You 40 million must
choose the course, select the
management of the United
States in the immediate years
ahead. With you rests the
destiny of our country.
A major safeguard of Ameri-
can freedom is two virile polit-
ical parties. A great political
party, despite secondary inter-
nal differences, is welded to-
gether by certain common loyal
ties and beliefs. certain princi-
pies and certain ideals of gov
ernment.
When we elect President,
we are not electing a single pei
son. We are electing group Of
party members to take over the
direction of the Government.
You 40 million new voters
have known little of the Re-
publican Party's background Of
principles and of it's forward
looking constructive accomplish
ments.
necessarily for the past 20
years, and including this cam
paign, the American people have
been deluged by misrepresen-
tations and false slogans aimed
at the principles. the ideals and
the record of the Republican
Party. Such statements do not
beflt the sense of fair play. of
honor or of craftsmanship in
our national life or in either
party.
Our American look is always
forward but the test of char
acter of a party must be in part
its past record.
No political party is perfect
and l have no desire to mini
mize the service of the Demo-
cratic Party under such leaders
as Jefferson, Cleveland, and
Wilson. AS did Republican
leaders, they believed in true
liberalism which made this
country great.

constantly expanded the devel-
opment Of our rivers, harbors
and canals. In 1920 we estab-
lished the concept of an inte-
grated waterway system con-
Meeting great cities 1000 miles
east and west and 1900 miles
north and south. We largely
completed it. From 1927 to 1882
we rebuilt the flood control on
the lower Mississippi and Sacra-
mento Rivers. We did so good
job that there have been no flood
disasters on these rivers since.
The Republicans vigorously
supported the States in con-
structing interstate roads. BY
1882. about $4,000 miles of sur
faced roads had been built. In
1882 a Republican administra-
tion, through the RFC, estab-
lished the policy Of Federal loans
for Self-liquidating public works
financially unfeasible by private
capital or State funds. The San
Francisco Bay Bridge and the
Colorado River water supply to
the Los Angeles area were ex-
amples. And those loans made
by Republican administrations
have all been repaid to the Fed
eral Government.
In 1923 Republicans under
took the public building pro-
gram which has SO beautified
Washington and many other
cities.
In fact, in the single four
years from 1929 to 1888, Repub-
licanS built more useful public
works than in the entire pre-
vious 80 years.
Taking all this into account
1t would seem that phrase Re
publicans do nothing" is some
what overdone in this campaign.

Opposition to Change.
3. Reactionary and Opposed to
Chan1e.

A daily Misrepresentation in
this campaign is that the Re-
publican Party is reactionary,
opposed to change and without
courage to take action. It would
seem that what I have re-
counted as to Republican action
on business oppression and &C
tion during the worldwide de-
preston would be sufficient an
swer. But just in case you want
some more evidence I will give
you a few of many samples of
Republican attitudes to reform
and change.

been led to believe the New Deal
enacted all this multitude Of
measures.
Most outstanding economists
are agreed that Republican
measures brought beginnings OF
the recovery in July, 1882. But
our recovery then in motion was
reversed by wholly unneces-
sary panic of bank depositors.
That was created by refusal OF
the incoming New Deal to CO.
operate with us in foreign and
domestic remedial measures for
four months after the election.
1t was also due to public panic
over New Deal proposals to
tinker with the value of our
money. An now the New Deal
ers date all their doleful statis-
tics from the bottom of this set
back, which they themselves
created.
They might mention that
they have continued to tinker
with money. credit and debt un-
til an income of $4,000 per an
mum in 1882 would buy more
than an income of $4,000 today.
A dozen other nations, with
free economies, within three
years after the New Deal came
to power, marched out of the
depression to higher levels of
employment and production
than those of the boom year of
1928.
There were about II million
unemployed at the time of
Roosevelt's election in Novem-
ber, 1882. But the New Deal
violated their every election
promise and attempted to mix
fascism and socialism into the
American system. From their
actions America continued to
wallow every winter in 10 to II
million unemployed. Eight years
of this New Deal unemploy-
ment only found remedy in jobs
from the second World War.
If you want more proof of
these Misrepresentation, have
published whole book on the
subject.

TESTS FOR DIABETES
FREE ALL NEXT WEEK

Plans for finding the estimated
100000 persons in this country
who have diabetes without know
ing it were announced Friday by
the Pasquotank, Camden, Curri-
tuck, Dare County Medical Society.
At the same time, the group issued
"a plea for full public cooperation
in this intensive drive to find and
control the chronic disease that at
present ranks eighth among the
causes of death by disease in the
United States.
The tests for diabetes will be
given during the week of Novem-
Der 1922, which has been desig-
mated as Diabetes Week. In Man
teo and over 700 other areas,
county and state medical societies
will make tests available. In Man.
teo, DR.. Harris or DR.. Brown will
give tests.
Civic, community, business and
educational leaders will be asked
to cooperate with the doctors in
testing, and Newspapers, radio
and other media of communica-
ton will be asked to announce de-
tails of the detection drive.
Diabetes, according to DR.. E. H.
North, Jr. Chairman of the drive,
is the only chronic disease for
which there is a known control.
Found early enough and treated
properly, the disease seldom inter-
feres with a patients normal, full
and active life. Yet, left untreat-
3D. diabetes is often fatal, he said.
DIR. North explained that dia-
betes, unlike such widely-publiciz-
ed diseases as polio tuberculosis
and cancer, is often a silent" all
ment which reveals no alarming
symptoms. Yet diabetes can be
just as deadly, he warned.

aboard his yacht in Morehead. He
had pictures of both of them and
sent prints to Mrs. Rhondthaler

days before the Berfordshire was
torpedoed off Ocracoke.

three and a half hours. In other
words, the alternate route up the
beach, would save them a terrific
trip at times, shorten the time of
travel by almost half. They would
also have the opportunity to visit
relatives while en- route along Hat
teras Island, and with no longer
distance in miles than by way of
New Bern.
Z 1t therefore seems most log
ical and practical to work for a
good automobile ferry across Hat
teras Inlet, trip of few minutes,
rather than hours; and to ask for
maintenance of the route between
Hatteras Inlet and Ocracoke Viii
lage. Those with wide acquaintance
through the years in battling for
ferries think it illogical to expect
the state to spend the funds re-
quired for ferry across a long
expanse of open water, where very
little business might be expected
to develop, while practical solu-
ton exists to the north. 1t is also
expected that the necessary volume
of traffic for the north route out
of Ocracoke will be nearer posi-
BILE because of the vast number
of visitors to be anticipated with
the development of the National
Seashore Park, whereby the at
fractions of Ocracoke Island may
be expected to keep many visitors
longer in the area if a ferry service
is available.
