Emphasizes Depression
Is a Real Fear in u. S.

And it is of the fear Of de-
preston that I want to say q
word tonight. because, try as
we may. we cannot escape the
problems Of today by taking
refuge from the past.
Depression is a real fear for
many Of us. It has already
touched the farmers. It may
touch others in the months
ahead.
OF course. there is a reason
for this fear. While there may
be in some minds a relation
between Republicanism and
hard times, l don't believe in
depression by association.
In all candor I don't know
whether we are going to have
economic misfortune or not,
and I don't know for certain
whether we can talk our way
into a business recession. But
I do know that talk alone won't
prevent a depression or cure
1t either. The Republicans
cleared up that question for
US some 20 years ago.
AS a Democrat. am proud
that it was our party which
first decided that unemploy-
ment for the worker, and
bankruptcy for the business
man, and ruinous prices for
the farmers. were not acts of
nature; that economic mis-
fortune was something free
men in, a free land could pre-
vent; that with bold, decisive
action Americans could mas
ter their own economic des-
tiny.
Hence the disasters to
American home and families
Of the past will not befall
US with like severity again,
thanks to social security, min
imum wages, farm price sup
ports. bank deposits inSur-
ance and control Of dishonest
securities and reckless specu-
lation.
Home ownership has been
made more secure. Farms are
better financed. Income and
taxes are more fairly dis
tributed. Our forest, land and
water resources have been
protected and enlarged. In
these and a dozen other ways,
our economy has became more
stable, more secure and more
productive than even before.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IL Up
The tOIloDing is the prepared
tert of AdlGi E. Sterenson's
address to the Atlantic States
Democratic dinner here to-
night:
I should like at the outset
tonight warmly to thank
President Eisenhower for the
initiative he has taken this

materials and for his reaffirma-
ton of our desire for peaceful,
friendly relations with the
Russian people. And I also ap-
plaud the Secretary of States

assaults on our allies by Re-
publican Senators.
Speaking last September
after a long journey. I said
there was grave anxiety about
the world that the United
States was infiexible; that we
should be prepared to nego-
tiate and should resume the
initiative in the search for
peace and disarmament. Some
Republican leaders and edi-
tors promptly cried, "Appease-
ment."
I hope the Presidents words
don't provoke similar epithets
because they are reassuring
and will help to restore con-
f1dence in Americas patience
and peaceful purpose.

Sees improvement
In Porty's Fortunes

Measured by election results
of late, our party's fortunes
have suddenly improved, and
it is well that we meet at
years end to appraise the COM
forting operating results of the
past year, the condition Of the
company of Democrats and
the opportunities and respon-
sibilities ahead.
I am sure there are lessons
for all of us in the Philadelphia
story and moral in the dis
tinguished and forward-look-
ing leadership which Joe
Clark, Dick Dilworth (Joseph
S. Clark, Mayor Of Philadel-
.phia. and Philadephia's dis
trict attorney, Richardson Dill
WORTH and their many able
colleagues have brought to
this great city the lesson that
good candidates, good organi-
nation and good government
are the indispensable ingredi-
entS Of political success nova
days.
& And I am glad we are meet
ing here on the anniversary of
Pennsylvania's admission to
the Union, and in Philadelphia

gtis the home of American free
s dom. Here the Declaration of
: Independence was signed. and
here the Liberty Bell rang out

I know your hearts are
troubled; the hearts of be-

sbled, too, for the bell gives an

unity or international respect.
Fighting Democrats for politi-.
cal advantage is not fighting
Communism for national sur
vival.
And we must never let un-'
scrupulous politicia n buy
partisan advantage at the price
Of cherished liberties. Means
are as important as ends. Fear
is poison. And American in
f1uence cannot rest on money
and military might alone. for
principles are power-the very
power that distinguish es
Democratic free d o m from
Communist tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence
in Philadelphia-and he went
on to found the Democratic
Party. But the defense of
individual liberty is the obli-
gation-and the privilege-of
all Americans.
Today good Republicans
stand with us in the convic-
ton that no crisis can justify
the impairment of our liber-
ties-and in the determine
ton that no enemy. abroad or
at home, shall do so.
If the administration is
looking for a good crusade, I
would recommend a crusade
to combat the Communist
conspiracy without resorting
to Communist methods to do
: It.
They could get a lot Of help
from Democrats for that.
From the Bill of Rights to
the Four Freedoms. we Demo-
Gratis have tried to protect. to
guarantee and to enlarge the
rights and liberties of the in

Of the alien and sedition laws

Act. Our party supported it al
most unanimously and the Re-
publicans opposed also almost
unanimously. Many business
men are coming abreast of our
historic position. I hope the
Republican Party does too.

They tell me that under the

It will be cheaper to import

The continued prosperity Of

worker loses a job, he is not
the only one who suffers. The
