Show THE Ul'LLETIX As You Wish New Deal's Blundering Policies COL. FRANK KNOX a ous to choose from. How about 2 Colonel' During Ilis Acceptance Speech. "delaying recovery" and "with responsibility for the ten million still unemployed" by Colonel Frank Knox in his address accepting the Republican nomination for vice-preside- Colonel Knox spoke before a wildly enthusiastic crowd which filled to overflowing the huge Chicago stadium. Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon gave the official address of notification. In his opening remarks, Colonel Knox pointed out that Senator Steiwer had struck the keynote of the campaign with."his clear call to all citizens to join in a crusade for sound government in America." After accepting this call to service, the nominee referred briefly to the fact "he began to work as a small boy in a small town In Michigan." I He epitomized his war service when he said: "Long years ago I learned as a buck private the lessons of duty and loyalty." In this spirit of service, I accept the call of my party. I pledge myself to the principles of sound and honest government. I pledge my personal loyalty to that great governor of a prairie state, the next President of the United States, the Honorable Alf Landon. People to Decide Colonel Knox then pointed out that in the coming election it will be necessary for the people to decide whether the "administration in office has met its responsibilities honestly and fairly and wisely. From the day that it took office," Colonel Knox said, it embarked on a series of hysterical experiments on the economic life of a burdened people. At a time when universal cooperation was a necessity, it initiated a campaign of abuse and vilification of business men. At a time when the credit of the country should have been strengthened it inaugurated a policy of credit adulteration and currency experiment that demoralized foreign trade and frightened domestic finance. It set up a system of regimentation of industry that reduced production and prevented of By coercion reemployment. Congress it forced the passage of reform measures so recklessly drawn that they hamstrung the revival of enterprise and paralyzed the renewal of investment. It installed a regimentation of agriculture that destroyed food and reduced foreign markets and increased the cost of living and multiplied the expense of relief. At a time when private industry was struggling desperately for a new start it set up governmental enterprise to compete with private business. At a time when the burden of taxation was already hard to bear it embarked on a policy of squandering public funds and increasing the weight of taxes. At a time when united effort and mutual good will would have completed recovery it promoted sectional hatred and class strife. At a time when returning business confidence was ending depression it began a campaign to terrorize business and subjugate the banks. At a time when confidence in the character of government was vital, it established a spoils system. At a time when the economic system was worn and emaciated it performed major surgical operations upon the industrial body to see what was inside. It adopted an economic philosophy of scarcity and forced it upon a hungry and distressed people." Even though the New Deal "failed in its job, Colonel Knox declared that recovery could not be permanently blocked by "govbut only reernmental error, tarded and discouraged." Delays Recovery. Without mincing words and straight from the shoulder came his: "I charge the present administration with delaying recovery, in the .United States and in the world. I charge the present administration with responsibility for the ten million still unemployed." The nominee next turned his attention to the broad view of the New Deil, which he described as "This policy of government by guess, officially explained by President Roosevelt as founded on a philosophy It of began with a proposal for a belt of trees in a territory that Nature had decided should not have trees.

A minute later, Colonel Knox gave a pledge to the people with the statement: "Whatever concrete measures the Republican Party has in mind will be presented to the voters before election, not after. And what-evemeasures the Republican administration may urge upon Congress, not one will flout the Constitution of the United States. Not one will violate the obligation of contracts. Not one will break a promise." Earlier in his address, the candidate had referred to the fact that the New Deal plans and experiments were not contained in the 1936 Democratic platform. Amateur Experimenters. Avoiding any and all mention of personalities, Colonel Knox drove home telling blow after telling r blow: "For more than three years the economic life of the country has been at the mercy of a crew of amateur experimenters, hacking at the vitals of American industry, commerce and fagriculture, inance." "It is now a race between exhaustion of Federal credit and the coming of natural recovery. It is a race between inflation and the revival of normal business activity. "It (the New Deal) means Fed- eral control over local business, over local bank credit, over local wages, over local conditions of work. It leads to Federal regimentation of the labor, the business, and the home of every Amer-leag citizen. It leads to and production control by Federal authority. It leads inevitably to the extinction of the small business man, to the end of free enterprise in America." Coercive Control. Colonel Knox specifically referred to the New Deal monetary policy with the declaration that "coercive control of bank credit leads unavoidably to control of investment and that leads to the end of competitive industry and free enterprise. Mentioning Mr. Roosevelt by name, the nominee asserted no one man can successfully guide the course of industry for a great nation." After stating his belief that the American people do not desire "to reorganize the American economic system by experiment," Colonel n price-fixin- said: The people want recovery, not rhetoric. They want economy, not waste. They want work, not relief. They want cooperation among the partners in production, not industrial strife. They want order in economic life, not an occasional breathing spell. They want dignity in government, not a merry-go-roun- d. In his final, statements, Colonel turned to what the people can expect from the Republican party and asserted that the Republican platform appeals to the "whole people, to the "sincere Democrats" and to the "millions of thrifty and people". He continued: "It (The Republican party) does promise a fair and honest government. It does promise that this government will be as economical and efficient as it can be made. It does promise to make every effort to install sensible and practica measures to help in the solution of the problems of trade and industry and agriculture, the problems of poverty and insecurity." hard-worki- chinery have been thrown in reverse to the extent that the United States is today the world's largest wheat importer, with the single exception of Great Britain, including North Ireland. In that regrettable position this nation has imported from foreign countries more than 40 million bushels of wheat within the past year. For at least 70 years, this country had been a net exporter of wheat. A dozen years ago, farmers bragged about selling to' foreign countries more than 259 million bushels of wheat in one year, exceeding the exports of any other country in the world. Today, they are forced to stand by and watch foreign growers sell wheat to Americas customers abroad. They also are supplying a large part of the market here at home. Government Tinkering This revolutionary change has been brought about not only by drouths, but also by government tinkering with production and foreign trade policies. Had there been no meddling, our government growers would have had more wheat to sell during the next 12 months when prices are expected to be higher than they have been for several years. After three years experience under a crop and livestock production program dictated to them by officials of a centralized government, many practical farmers feel that they would have done a better job acting individually. They must pay their share of the New Deal dole uioney sent out to individual farmers for reducing their production which has contributed to the present predicament. Farmers had been told by political planners that the reduced production of farm products, brought about by adverse weather conditions and by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration program, had been good for them. As they now stand looking backward, each farmer is better able to appraise for himself what the drouth am the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration did for him and decide as an individual whether it has been good or bad. Pay Iligher Prices Producers, working under various handicaps, are now threshing a wheat crop estimated to be approximately 638 million bushelsL more than 145 million bushels less than the average from 1929 to 1933. It will again be necessary for the United States to bring in large quantities of hard wheat to lifend with soft wheat during the next year. Our millers wUl be forced to pay' a higher price plus 42 cents a bushel duty because Canadas wheat crop is 6hort. When the wheat drills start this fall, many United States growers are expected to make their own decisions as to the number of acres they will plant and encourage their neighbors to do likewise.
