Coach Gather, using giant

Thinks Free World

I believe the free world is
going to win this struggle. you
understand. I think we are
going to win because we are
free. And, in this fight. the
free labor unions, all over the
world, are one of our most
important assets.
We have all been thrilled,
these past two months, by the
noble and costly resistance to
Communist rule in East Berlin
and East Germany. What
started that movement that
shattered the myth of totali-
arian invincibility? 1t was the
working people of East Ger
many. 1t was the average,
everyday trade unionist of East
Berlin who dared defy the
Communist terror.
That is something for all of
us to think about, and I hope
that the trade unions of this

Tells of Fight to Keep
HeKs Canyon Project

Then look at what's hap
pening to the policy of de-
veloping low-cost electric
power. The betrayal of the
Hell's Canyon project in the
Columbia River basin tells
the story. This is the greatest
natural dam site left in Amer
lea. For years, we have been
battling to keep it out of the
hands of the power trust. It
should be developed with max
imum benefit to the public.
Now the new Secretary Of
the Interior has come along
and said he thinks Hell's Can
yon ought to be turned over
to the Idaho Power Co.
If they can give Hell's Can
yon away, others will follow.
The power lobby is doing its
best to take over Niagara Falls.
And the bell will be tolling
for the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority and the Rural Elec-
trif1cation Administration and
all the rest. All this will mean
less power and higher rates,
fewer jobs and lower wages.
Look what they have done
with your immense off-shore
oil interests. They have given
away billions of your dollars
in oil to pay a political debt.

People Didn't Vote
To Change Principles

The question now is, what
lies ahead for us2
The majority of the people
last fall voted for a Change
in the political party that con-
trolls the Government. That
was their right and privilege.
But I don't think they voted
for change in the social and
economic principles that have
made us so strong and pros
porous. But that is the kind
of change we are getting.
There are plenty of signs
of a return Of that old
philosophy that the object of
Government is to help big
busineSs-on the theory that
if big business is well off,
enough of it's wealth and in
come will trickle down to the
rest of the population to keep
the system going.
There was that fellow-De-
troiter of yours, who gave his
views on , how to run the
Government when he said.
whats good for General
Motors is good for the coun-
try"
I could go along with that
if he included the people who
work for General Motors and
all the rest of the working peo-
pie of the country, the farmers
and white collar workers and
small businessmen-not to
mention Ford and Chrysler.
More recently. another mem
ber of the Cabinet said, We're
in the saddle as an admini-
stration representing business
and industry" No mention of
farmers or consumers or
labor-just business and in
dustry.
This administration has
raised interest rates, all across
the board. That may be to the
benefit of the money lenders,
but it surely does hurt the
rest of the people. 1t hurts the
veteran who wants to buy a
house or start a business or
buy farm. It hurts the small
businessman who needs credit
to expand. It hurts the tax
payer who has to pay more in

BELONGED Budget
Not Most Vital Thinq

Then there is another thing
on which you ought to make
your position absolutely clear.
That is the dangerous philoSo-
ply that balancing the Fed
eral budget is the most sacred
objective of the Government
more important even than
giving us the best Air Force
in the world, or protecting
great cities like Detroit from
devastation by the Soviet
atomic bombs.
Now, I am a great believer
in a balanced budget. And I
kept the Government budget
balanced, too, until an emer-
gency came along that was a
lot more important than all
the balanced budgets in the
world.
We have to put first things
first. And the security and
safety of this Nation comes
ahead of everything else, as
far as am concerned. I don't
see how any one can take
chances with our national de-
fense, at this time in the
worlds history. I should think
a first-class Air Force and air
raid defense system, that
would protect all our great
cities and industrial centers,
would be worth quite a lot to
us just now-even if it un-
balanced the budget for a
while and deferred a tax cut
for some years to come. It
might even be better for the
top-bracket income groups
than the money they will
make on a tax cut. Because
those extra dollars aren't 60
ing to do them much good, if
the whole country is devas-
tated.

turn away from this interna-
tional situation and wish it
didn't exist. And as Gen.

is a perfect example of that
discredited old trickle-dow
theory.
There are other signs that
the Government is no longer
so concerned for the welfare
of all of us. Our great public
housing program, which was
helping to clear Americas
slums, has been condemned to
death. Funds for enforcement
of the minimum wage law,
which protects the lowest paid
of our workers, have been
drastically cut.
And the farmer, who lives
with greater economic hazards
than perhaps any Of us, is
being told that he ought to
''go it alone" again-as he did

sion that began right after
