Calls on the Republicans to Put Curb on Roosevelts Demands for Increased Power National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Proas Building ; Washington, D. C. well-know- tages. I say this from the standpoint of the country at large. Many times in these columns, I have expressed the conviction that a strong minority party, whether that party be Republican or Democratic, is a very healthy condition for the country as a whole. A political party with too great a majority is likely to run away with Itself and do many unsound things. We have had proof of this during the Roosevelt administration and we had proof of it during the administrations of the late President Harding and President Coolidge when Republicans had too many members of the house and the senate and the Democratic minority was impotent 1 cannot speak from a Republican standpoint any more than I can speak from a Democratic standpoint Nevertheless, from the position 1 attempt to follow as an observer of national affairs and long range national policies, it does seem that the Republicans ought to quit fighting among themselves and get together to oppose that which the present minority in this country finds objectionable in President Roosevelts policies. They ought to determine on a set of principles and stick to them. It is their obligation and if they fail to fulfill that obligation, it seems to me they had best disband, get rid of those who attempt to be leaders in the Republican party and let somebody else organize the minority faction in the United States and it is to be remembered that even in the last election there were almost 16,000,000 Republican voters. In advocating this action, I am not motivated as much by my belief in and support of some of Mr. Roosevelts policies as I am in my disagreement with others of the program to which the New Dealer has adhered. A strong and vocal minority will insure the retention of rights and powers in the hands of the people where they belong and at the same time it will compel Democrats to stick together in carrying out sound policies proposed by the President. That latter statement may sound paradoxical. I think it is not. 1 make the statement because I know how many times the gigantic Democratic majority in congress has fought over trivialities and because I know how many times sincere opposition to unsound policies has met with defeat without the country knowing the reasons for that opposition. Taken all in all, therefore, I believe it is an obligation upon me as an observer of national affairs to declare in favor of a movement by the minority party that will result in a concentration of its power for the good of the nation. And what, one may ask, should be the creed of the minority party next year? Well, as I see the picture, the Republican party must be the conserv-ative Part? in What of the United States. the Creed? President Roosevelt and his New Dealers cannot avoid being the radical party. I have said this many times in these columns and it is more evident now even than when I reported upon the situation earlier. The conservatives can and should have a voice in their government fven if it is only an opposition voice that constitutes a balance-whee- l. Proceeding from that premise, therefore, there can be little argument that tne principles which the advocate should be Republicans drawn from principles of governmental policies that have proved sound. That is to say, the Republicans cannot afford to attack Mr. represent discouragement, deceit and disaster to the countrys eco- nomic life. There will be no gain for the Republicans in 1938 elections if they attempt to ride two or three different horses as they did in 1936. For example, they cannot do as Candidate Landon did, to wit, call for a balanced budget in one speech and advocate being Santa Claus in another; they cannot blow hot and cold, and, therefore, they must be either conservative or radical. It seems to me the Republicans can probably plan for an immediate balancing of the national budget. In that connection, they can with justification demand curtailment, if not entire elimination, of many governmental functions inaugurated under the New Deal. They can offer constructively a proposal to legislate out of existence some 20 or 30 federal agencies for which there never has been and is not now any excuse for their existence. h ' ls Pack train starting the long trek down the mountainside in the Uinta range, Utah, with the bodies of IS persons who met sudden death when a United Lines airliner from Chicago to the West Coast erasbed in a storm.

IM yOinltrtlrA SUMMARIZES THE WORLDS WEEK Another question that is crying for attention is the huge national now 000,000,000, highest in debt, at $37,-Natto- the history. That debt must be reorganized and placed on a basis that will permit gradual liquidaDebt tion of it. The Roosevelt adminis- tration has done nothing regarding the debt except to build it higher and higher. If the Republican party wants to do a constructive job it ought to set to work to examine all of the statutes enacted by congress in the last ten or twelve years and especially those enacted in the haste of the emergency with a view to repealing of many of them. Some can and should be rewritten to make Those statutes them workable. placed on the books by the Roosevelt administration constitute outstanding evidence of the lack of opposition. We all know many of those bills were written in executive departments and sent to congress with instructions to pass them unchanged. Bad legislation has resulted many times and a checkup surely is indicated. As regards legislation now on the statute books, it seems to me we will never have sound prosperity until certain laws that increase production costs are eliminated. I mean by this that there are numerous laws which have the effect of Widening the spread between the price of the raw materials and the price of the manufactured products. Legislation of this kind is bound to force down the prices paid to the producers and, in my opinion, the results are beginning to be reflected on products of the farm. Probably the most delicate question with which the Republicans are confronted relates to wages and hours of labor. Business interests have been shortsighted. Too many times employers have overworked their employees and have shown but little consideration for the rights of labor. The result is that labor is demanding consideration in the shape of protection at the hands of its national government and the Republicans, whether they desire to or not, must take a stand. Among other principles upon which I think the Republicans as conservative party surely can The agree is that there is too much government in business. The government itself is engaged in many lines of commerce and industry and it is breaking down private enterprises in countless ways. I regard the function of government as a thing to be confined to matters and enterprises which individuals cannot do as individuals. We might use the postal service as an example. No one would be so silly as to say that the postal service could be operated satisfactorily in any other way than as an agency of the federal government. In contradistinction to the postal service, however, we can point to such things as the building of model homes for private citizens. I think the government has no business at all in that field. This is so, first, because of the tremendous waste accompanying any governmental operation and, second, for the reason that private persons who are holders of funds whether the amount is great or small recognize real estate mortgages as sound investments. I need not mentior the red tape or the politics thai can choke up any such thing as a government housing development. I could go on and mention numerous other general principles upon which there can be honest differences of opinion. It is upon these questions where differences are honest and not created for polilicarrea-son- s that the Republican party should express itself. It ought to do this if it is going to be representative of opposition sentiment. 1 I hen, There Westons Newspaper Uni as. f of the Ueek half-starve- G. policies through adoption of a campaign platform. The question has many angles and in consequence many pros and cons 'already have been advanced. In natural consequence also, some very n Republicans have taken definite decisions, either for or 'against the plan which has the approval of men like John Hamilton, chairman of the Republican national committee, and former President Herbert Hoover. Some very splendid men find themselves honestly in Opposition and have said so in unequivocal terms. The issue will be fought out at a meeting of the national committee 'early in November and probably there will be such a convention early in 1938.

A LF M. LANDON came to the surface in a radio address to 17,000,000 Americans who voted for him in the last election, and especially to the Republican party as a whole. He said he had called this radio meeting to sug-ge- st and ways which means by "we, the minority party, can be of outstanding service to the country.

What he really needs is less power, Mr. Landon asserted, a position that will force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both parties men whose hearts also are in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know more about the practical application of government than he ity, free from the disastrous extremes of booms and depressions. Only in that way can our economic system and our democratic institutions endure. Mr. Roosevelt avoided mention of the jittery condition of the stock markets, but before delivering his address he had seen Secretary of the Treasury Morgen thau and learned that the market was recovering, due to heavy buying by bargain hunters and perhaps to recovery of confidence by investors. Among the many notable persons on the platform with the President was Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, who fathered the federal reserve system during the Wilson administration.
