What About Big Business?
1. What about Privilege. Wall

l. What about Privilege, Wall
Street. Big Business?
The Republican Party is now
almost 100 years old. It's con-
slant principle has been the
freedom of men.
Twenty-Five years after Lin
coins emancipation of the slaves
there was a second great revo-
lutionary act by Republicans to
free men from oppression. The
gigantic economic Development
OF our country had led to new
forms of oppression of free men.
These were abuses by big busi-
ness, monopolies and restraint
of trade.
BY the Republican Sherman
Act of 1890 these doings were
prohibited. It produced far
deeper consequences than mere
negation. 1t produced an eco
nomic revolution. Our whole
economic system was trans
formed from the unrestrained
laisSez-faire, dog-eat-dog, con-
cepts which we had inherited
from Europe. BY this act our
economy was first geared to
standards of conduct which pre-
serve freedom of men which we
call regulation. Il may say at
once such regulation is not to be
confused with RECOMMENDATION.
BY the standards in the Sher-
man Act we assured competition
in the United States. Under
competition American business
has been forced to earn it's prof
its by constantly improving it's
plants, by lowering it's costs of
production. Europe continued
the system of trade monopolies,
cartels, and .combino tions, whose
profits were thus partly made
from control of prices and dis
tribution. European business lost
much of the pressure for i'm
provement of plant and method.
Under the impulses of competi-
tion, American industry leads
the world. Much European eco
nomy has so lost efficiency that
Socialism has become their fatal
answer.
Big business" did not rejoice
over the Sherman Act. Many of
them have never become recon-
ciled to it. They induced the
New Dealers in 1888, to, in
effect, repeal the antitrust laws
by an imitation of Mussolini's
corporate state through creating
the N. r. A. Only the Supreme
Court saved our competitive eco
nomy from Fascism. A Demo-
cratic President denounced this
action of the court as react
ionary."
Nor was the Sherman anti
trust law a solitary action in

National Resources.

4. Conservation and develop
ment of natural resources.
The statement is made that
Republicans would stif1e gov
ernmental aid to conservation
and development of natural re-
sources. t
Republicans originated prac-
tically the whole idea Of Federal
conservation of natural re-
sources.
1891 Republicans established
the first National Forests and.
in 1905, the Forest Service.
The National forests COM
prised 161 million acres in 1892.
They have been increased by
only IL per cent in the last 20
years.
In 1872 Republicans estab-
lished the first National Park.
OF the % major National Parks,
% were founded by Republi-
cans.
In 1924 Republicans estab-
lished the Oil Conservation
Board and in 1929, all oil be-
meath the free public lands was
withdrawn from private entry.
The same year a Republican
administration initiated the
great Interstate compact for
conservation of oil which has
since come into being among
81 States. In 1880 laws were
recommended for the conserva-
tion of the public ranges in the
West.
In 1902 Republicans estab-
lished and vigorously carried
out Federal reclamation of
arid lands. OF the 81 reclama-
ton projects today Al were
created by Republicans. And
these included the first gigantic
multiple-purpose dam on the
Colorado River and we nearly
finished it. Furthermore, we
approved and were engaged in
the engineering plans for the
great Grand Coulee Dam and
Central Valley of California de-
velOpmentS.

tration treaties with different
nations. For IL years-from
1921 to 1933-Republican Presi-
dents ceaslessly urged our join
ing the World Court.
In 1922 Republican admins
trations brought about partial
limitation in size of the major
navies of the world, and in 1880,
completed that job. The ending
Of naval competition over the
following decade contributed to
peace and saved billions of tax
payers money.
In our Western Hemisphere
relations, beginning in 1890 and
by 1910, Republican Secretaries
OF State had established the
Pan-American Union. Return
ing again to Washington after
Wilson, a Republican admin
istration in 1929 established the
Good Neighbor Policy.
I have already related our
international actions to alleviate
the depression.
All this is scarcely an isola-
zionist record.
Our critics are correct that
most Republicans opposed our
joining with Stain in the second
World War. We believed these
monsters. Stain and Hitler.
should exhaust each other. We
said repeatedly that by joining
with Stain in the war we would
spread Communism over the
earth. If this was isolationism,
I am proud of it. ..
Communism.
A few days ago it was said
that the growth of Communism
in the United States was caused
by the Republican depression"
In the Is years after the Com
munist revolution in Russia un-
til the end Of Republican admin
istrations the Communist Party
had grown to a meager $4,000
members. During this time we
had refused to give respect
ability to this slave state by
having any relations with it. In
the 10 years after the New Deal
recognition of Communist Rus
sia, the Communist Party in the
United States grew to over 80.-
900 members.
And they were employed in
the high levels Of Government.
In conclusion, I could 60 on
endlessly with this record of
constructive courageous action.
I have surely enough to refute
the myriad of falsehoodS and
Misrepresentation in this cam
paign.
This is not ancient stuff. It
is pertinent to this moment as
these daily Misrepresentation
indicate the character of the
party seeking by such means to
retain their hold on Washing
ton. Second, it is pertinent to
reassure new voters from the
record that the party behind
such great men as Gen. Eisen-
hover and Senator Nixon is q
constructive party of probity,
courage, ideals and vision,
worthy to be intrusted. with the
administration of our country.

Major Misrepresentation.

The major Misrepresentation
and falsehoodS now current to-
day appear in seven categories.
l. That the Republican Party
Is the party of privilege and the
tool of Wall Street or big busi-
ness"
2. That the great depression
was caused by Republicans and
they did nothing about it.
3. That the Republican Party
is a reactionary party opposed to
change and reforms so necessary
in a progressive national life, or
is not forward looking"
4. That the Republican Party
neglected and is opposed to the
conservation and development of
natural resources.
5. That the Republican ad-
mlnlstrationS were corrupt.
s. That the Republican Party
Is incompetent to preserve peace.
Z. That the growth of Com
munism in the United States
was caused by the Republican
years of depression.
The proper reply to these mis-
representations is not counter
smear, but presentation of the
facts to thinking people.

6. O. P. and Peace.

The Misrepresentation that
the Republican Party is an iso-
lationist party is false on the
record. ss7Fs -.i,t~.:, 81
Republicans in 1899 estab-
lished the open door policy in
China and in 1922 brought
about the nine-power treaty for
its protection. In 1928, Repub-
licans initiated the Kellogg

From 1921 to 1882, Republican
administrations entered into

5. Corruption.

Ourllg the last 81 years Re-
publicanS and Democrats equally
divided the time in Office. The
Republicans had just one bad
episode of corruption. That was
during the Harding administra-
ton. Democrats do not fail to
recall it even in the present
campaign.
Without examining whether
corruption can be absolved by
pointing an accusing finger at
older sins, I suggest a wide dif-
ference between the conduct of
Republican and Democratic ad-
ministrations in their two fields
OF wickedness. There were nine
men involved in the Harding
episode. The other members of
the administration were aghast.
They determined to pursue these
men implacably. Before we had
finished with them. two of them
had committed suicide, one died
while awaiting trial, four landed
in prison, and one escaped by a
twice-hung jury.
Can the perpetrators of the
present mess in Washington
point to any such vigorous
housekeeping?
In the past 20 years of Demo-
cratic administration, there have
been over 800 cases of congress
Sional or administrative con-
demnation or public exposure of
every variety Of transgression
of National honor. It appears
that except for cases forced by
congressional committees, so far
less than Is persons have landed
in jail. Washington nowadays
seems neither aghast, nor i'm
placable,

Veterans.

AS to veterans. in 1868 Repub-
licans established pensions for
veterans disabled in the Civil
War and for their widows and
orphans. They did so in 1908
for Spanish-American War vet
Grams. They did so for World
War I veterans. In 1924 Republi-
cans enacted the veterans bonus
bill. In 1882 Republicans estab-
lished the Veterans Administra-
tion as a major agency of
the Government. In 1880 Repub-
licans provided disability allow
ances and disqualification to all

Children.

AS to the protection to chill
dren. in 1912 Republicans estab-
lished the Children's Bureau in
the Federal Government. Fol-
lowing our return to Office after
World War /. Republicans in
1924 submitted a constitutional
amendment prohibiting child
labor. The amendment failed
because enough State legis-
latures, predominantly Demo-
cratic, refused to ratify it. In
1881 a Republican administra-
ton proposed subsidies for rural
child welfare, which were passed
by the House of Representatives
but killed by a filibuster of a
Democratic Senator. Were Re-
publicans reactionary?
Farmers.
AS further evidence of in
tereSt in farmers well-being, I
may point out that for So years
Republicans supported tariff
protection for the farmers. Re-
publicans in 1862 created the
Agricultural Commission which
subsequently became the De-
partment of Agriculture. Re-
publicans expanded the depart
ment from 1902 by creating six
OF its most important bureaus.
In 1882 we proposed the retire.
ment OF marginal lands from
production to remedy the
farmers chronic surplus pro-
duction. 1t was turned down by
a Democratic Congress. Was
this reactionary?
Housing and Homes.
AS to housing and homes, after
the dislocations of the first
World War the Republicans in
1922. established the Bureau of
Housing in the Federal Govern
ment. BY cooperative measures
with the people, we secured con-
struction of more new homes
during the twenties than the
whole eight years of the New
Deal. A Republican administra-
ton in 1882 established the
home loan banks and the same
year Initiated the first Federal
aid to slum clearance. Was this
reactionary?

INDECENT veterans, irrespective
of the origins of the illness. In
1888 the New Deal repealed this
service and deprived 300, 900
veterans of this service. From
1921 to 1888 Republicans built
46 hospitals with 25,260 beds
for veterans. A study by the
Brookings Institution says:
a.. The eight years ending
with March 4, 1888 saw the
greatest expansion and liberal
ization in legislation relating to
veterans ever known in this
country or probably in any other
country"
Federal Administration.
And we may look at the or
ganiZation of the Federal Gov
ernment itself. In addition to
establishing the Departments of
Labor and Commerce. Republic
cans established the Patent Of
flee, the Weather Bureau, and
the Postal Savings Banks.
To take it's employees out of
politics, Republicans in 1883
established the bipartisan Civil
Service Commission. The act
provided that all new employees
with a few exceptions were to be
admitted on merit by open COM
petitive examinations and proof
as to character. This meant
equal rights to all irrespective
OF politics, religion or race.
BY 1882 all but 19 per cent of
the $4,000 Federal Employees
had entered Government serv-
Ice through the partisan
merit gate of the Civil Service
Commission. But during the
succeeding eight years of the
New Deal, "a acts were passed
exempting groups from civil
service requirements. The Dem
ocratlc county chairmen did
most of the appointing. One
might also note that, in 1887, a
Democratic administration at
tempted to abolish the commits
sion and was defeated in Con-
gress. BY 1852 the bureaucracy
has grown to over 2 million per-
sons Of whom / doubt one-half
ever originally passed the full
competitive Civil Service Com
mission examinations before
their employment.
In 1921 Republicans estab-
lished for the first time a Fed
eral budget and a General Ac-
counting Office for control and
audit of accounts.
IT all these evidences of re-
form and forward look" to
meet the change in national life
are not enough, I will give you
some more from the record.
In 1880 and 1882 a Republic
can administration reformed
the Federal criminal procedures
so as to abolish the trick delays
in criminal trials.
We reformed the whole Fed
eral prison system, with sepa-
rate prisons for hardened
criminals, and special prisons
for women. We established a
system of probation and parole.
We passed the Federal anti
kidnapping laws.
In 1926 and 1880 we estab-
liShed the FBI.
