I should like to answer that question in terms first of general principles and then in terms of the irectard of our Republican Administration over the last six years. I begin by recognizing that there are differences of opinion among Republicans, as there should be and always will be in each party of a two-parsystem. But our differences are small compared to those that divide the Democrats, but they are infinitesimal compared to the gulf lie tween the economic philosophy to which most Republicans adhere and the economic philsophy of the radical wing of the Democratic Party which controls that party in the northern and western states. If a person is running on a Republican ticket, he believes in certain basic principles. They are Republican principles, and they are principles that have made this country great. It is not a platitude when a Republican says that we believe in a government that is literally for the people. By this we mean that we want voters to decide policies, and not bureaucrats who have never seen a farm or factory. Insofar as our national Constitution permits, we want more decisions made in our cities and states. We want fewer decisions made in Washington. We want power in' the hands of people the voter knows, and not in the hands of a blind bureaucracy. We want more jobs and better jobs. We want every possible economy. We feel that necessarily high defense budgets should be no excuse for careless or wasteful use of public funds. We believe that people know better how to spend their money than do federal officials. Briefly, we know that the type of government is worse in the long run. We stand for an economic system that is strong in its freedom. It is strong and free when business is not stifled by legislation. It is strong and free when labor is free to bargain with its employers, and does not come to Washington for handouts or White House dictated wage settlements. We oppose government controls beyond those necessary to promote the general welfare of all in the nation. We oppose class warfare and class distinction. To us there are no what our opponents call little people in the United States. The greatness of America lies in the fact that we have always recognized that no one is bigger or more important than the individual American citizen regardless of how much money he may have, who his parents may have been, or what the color of his skin, or his religion happens to be. We do not believe in bring more and more power to Washington. This inevitably will make states and cities mere' bureaus of the national government and under its domination and control. We favor and we must have a growing economic system. We want higher living standards. We want better schools, available to all who can use them. We want good homes, roads, and recreation areas.

To achieve this, we favor tax and other policies that will provide for business growth and encourage die expansion that means more jobs at higher wages. We oppose the radical idea that Americas business is through , the idea that only the government can provide jobs for new workers. We oppose taxes that stifle economic growth. We oppose the insane concept that jobs can be created only by feeding the fires of inflation and promoting runaway government spending. In a nutshell, we believe that the best way to assure the economic progress which means better jobs, more schools, better health and more security for (the American people is to unleash and stimulate the creative energies of 170 million individual Americans rather than to say let the government do it in Washington. In oilier words, we believe that private enterprise is generally superior to government enterprise and that government should step in only where individuals cannot or will not do what needs to be done for themselves. We favor a strong foreign policy. We want to keep our allies strong both military and economically. We will protect the new and the weak independent nations of the world with our own strength. We favor diplomatic policies that lead to peace with honor. We want world peace based on effective disarmament. But we oppose those who would substitute words for deeds, for realities, in the hard task of negotiating world peace. We want our policies biased on facts, not on empty hopes. In summary, in dealing with the most ruthless dictatorship the worfd has even seen, we believe that a strong, firm policy is the only one that has la chance to keep die peace and that a policy of weakness militarily or diplomatically will inevitably lead to war. STATE: Dr. Gordon in National Spotlight of The Utah Statesman wishes to make special note the efforts and Republican Party loyalty displayed by Dr. Robert Gordon. Dr. Gordons GOP Teamwork song is a commendable achievement, both for himself and for the Republican Party. Dr. Gordons song was heard nationwide, last week, on the Presidents birthday, when the huge audience assembled to give the President their best wishes, sang the Teamwork song to Eisenhower. The words to the song are as follows: ' - GOP TEAMWORK SONG (Tune of There Are Smiles ) There is WORK in Pennsylvania, There is WORK in Utah too There is WORK from Maine to California, And its a job for ALL Of us to do There is WORK all over this Great Nation, Be it any part where you may be But the WORK with greatest MOTIVATION Its the TEAMWORK of GOP. |
