New Deal's Blundering Policies
; Keep Millions Idle, Says Knox
* 1 j -
Specific Broadsides Hurled by " Fighting
Coloner’ During His Acceptance Speech.
Chicago.—The vague, unsuccess
ful economic experiments known as
the New Deal were charged with
“delaying recovery” and “with re
sponsibility for the ten million still
unemployed” by Colonel Frank
Knox in his address accepting the
Republican nomination for vice
president. Colonel Knox spoke be
fore a wildly enthusiastic crowd
which filled to overflowing the huge
Chicago stadium.
Senator Frederick Steiwer of Or
egon gave the official address of
notification. In his opening re
marks, 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 vice-presidential
nominee referred briefly to the fact
"he began to work as a small boy
in a small town in Michigan.”
He epitomized his Avar service
when he said: “Long years ago I
learned as a buck private the les
sons of duty and loyalty.”
“In this spirit of service, I ac
cept 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 de
cide whether the "administration
in office has met its responsibilities
honestly and fairly and wisely.”
"From the day that it took of
fice,” Colonel Knox said, "it em
barked 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 busi
ness men. At a time when the cred
it of the country should have been
strengthened it inaugurated a poli
cy of credit adulteration and cur
rency experiment that demoralized
foreign trade and frightened do
mestic finance. It set up a system
of regimentation of industry that
reduced production and prevented
reemployment. By coercion of
Congress it forced the passage of
reform measures so recklessly
drawn that they hamstrung the re
vival of enterprise and paralyzed
the renewal of investment. It in
stalled a regimentation of agricul
ture that destroyed food and re
duced foreign markets and in
creased the cost of living and mul
tiplied 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 bur
den of taxation was already hard
to bear it embarked on a policy of
squandering public funds and in
creasing the weight of taxes. At
a time when united effort and mu
tual good will would have com
pleted recovery it promoted sec
tional hatred and class strife. At a
j time when returning business con
! fidence was ending depression it
i began a campaign to terrorize busi
ness and subjugate the banks. At a
time when confidence in the char
acter of government was vital, it
established a spoils system. At a
time when the economic system
was worn and emaciated it per
formed 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
j distressed people.”
Even though the New Deal
! "failed in its job,” Colonel Knox
declared that recovery could not
be permanently blocked by "gov
ernmental error,” but only "re
tarded and discouraged.”
Delays Recovery.
Without mincing words and
straight from the shoulder came
his:
"I charge the present administra
tion with delaying recovery, in the
United States and in the world. I
charge the present administration
with responsibility for the ten mil
i lion still unemployed.”
The nominee next turned his at
tention to the broad view of the
New Deal, which he described as
"This policy of government by
guess, officially explained by Pres
ident Roosevelt as founded on a
philosophy of try-anything-once. It
began with a proposal for a belt of
trees in a territory that Nature had
decided should not have trees. It
is ending with the use of public
funds to conduct classes In tap
dancing.”
Colonel Knox pointed out the ma
jor New Deal agencies, the AAA,
the PWA, the CWA, the WPA and
devaluation of the dollar were old
| in history before America was dis
covered and tha'. they had failed in
Babylon, Rome and England cen
turies ago.
"In reviewing the principles of
the Republican party, the nominee
asserted that "It disapproves a
government of men Instead of a
government of law. It prefers a
government guided by constitutions
’’Telling Blows’’
Highlights taken from the
acceptance speech of Colonel
Frank Knox, Republican can
didate for vice president, at
Chicago Stadium, July 30,
1936:
I charge the present admin
istration with delaying recov
ery in the United States and
the world.
• • •
The coercive control of bank
credit leads unavoidably to con
trol of investment and that leads
to the end of competitive indus
try and free enterprise.
• • •
All the major New Deal ex
periments have ended in failure
and economic loss.
• • •
Next November you will
choose the American way.
• • *
America is too young, too vig
orous, to be deceived by false
promises of an easy way.
• • •
The people know that with
election of a new administration
next November the dammed up
forces of recovery will burst
forth in a magnificent prosperity.
• * .
With the American system
preserved, we shall . . .
have a free people, living in
plenty and security, without
exploitation of destitution.
to a government guided only by
caprice.”
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 be
fore election, not after. And what
ever measures the Republican ad
ministration may urge upon Con
gress, not one will flout the Consti
tution of the United States. Not
one will violate the obligation of
contracts. Not one will break a
promise.”
Earlier in his address, the candi
date had referred to the fact that
the New Deal plans and experi
ments 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
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,
agriculture, commerce and fi
nance.”
“It is now a race between ex
haustion of Federal credit and the
coming of natural recovery. It is
a race between inflation and the re
vival 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 regi
mentation of the labor, the busi
ness. and the home of every Amer
ican citizen. It leads to price-fixing
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 un
avoidably to control of investment
and that leads to the end of com
petitive industry and free enter
prise.” Mentioning Mr. Roosevelt
by name, the nominee asserted “no
one man can successfully guide the
course of industry for a great na
tion.”
After stating his belief that the
American people do not desire “to
reorganize the American economic
system by experiment,” Colonel
Knox said:
“The people want recovery, not
rhetoric. They want economy, not
waste. They want work, not re
lief. They want cooperation among
the partners in production, not in
dustrial strife. They want order in
economic life, not an occasional
breathing spell. They want digni
ty in government, not a merry-go
round."
In his final statements, Colonel
Knox turned to what the people can
expect from the Republican party
and asserted that the Republican
platform appeals to the “whole peo
ple”, to the “sincere Democrats”
and to the “millions of thrifty and
hard-working people”. He contin
ued:
“It (The Republican party) does
promise a fair and honest govern
ment. It does promise that this
government will be as economical
and efficient as it can be made.
It does promise to make every ef
fort to install sensible and practical
measures to help in the solution of
the problems of trade and industry
and agriculture, the problems of
poverty and insecurity.”
Farley Fears Him
___
Already credited with having Jim
Farley and his New Deal spellbind
ers on the defensive is young, red
headed John D. M. Hamilton, of
Topeka, Kan., new chairman of the
Republican National committee. He
managed the campaign which won
Landon the nomination unani
mously.
Landon Urges Wisconsin
to Save Its Ideal Homes
Milwaukee, Wis. — "Wisconsin,
with its thousands of beautiful
homes and high percentage of
home owners, is an example of
much that is best in American life
today,” Gov. Alf M. Landon, Presi
dential nominee, wired the Repub
lican State convention here. "Your
decentralized industry, including
thousands of small manufacturing
plants living and prospering side
by side with larger corporations,
represent an ideal and a balance
for which we must strive and to
which the Republican party is com
mitted by its platform.”
Landon’s telegram continued:
"Thesj small homes and busi
nesses have been built by a frugal
people schooled in the old fash
ioned virtue of thrift. I have nev
er before known a campaign which
has evidenced so greatly the quiet
determination of men and women
to save for themselves and their
children the things that we Amer
icans hold most dear. The Amer
ican people have an appreciation
of the value of good government
and are prepared to fight for it.”
John D. M. Hamilton, national
chairman, speaking at the conven
tion, referred to American citizens
as "stockholders” in the federal
government, accusing the admin
istration of misleading its stock
holders: "Your stockholders would
like to learn, Mr. Morgenthau, why
in recalling that the Treasury esti
mated in 1934 a $4,000,000,100 defi
cit for the fiscal year just ended,
you omitted the fact that in the
same year 1934, your Chief Execu
tive promised that the deficit for
this period would be zero, and be
fore a United States senate com
mittee as recently as last April
you predicted it would be nearly
$6,000,000,000 . . .
"Voters see in Gov. Landon a
man who not only pledged his ad
ministration to a balanced budget,
but a man who delivered a bal
anced budget,” Hamilton continued.
Presidents’ Spending Compared
Milwaukee, Wis.—Appropriations
of President Roosevelt’s adminis
tration which were unspecified by
congress totalled 13 billion 500 mil
lion dollars, or more than eight
times the combined unspecified ap
propriations made to all the Presi
dents in the 143 preceding years,
John D. M. Hamilton, Republican
National chairman, told the state
Republican convention here.
Import Labor While
Texas Pays Relief
Chicago.—The necessity of im
porting Mexicans to pick a bumper
Texas cotton crop while 138,404 per
sons are on work relief in the Lone
Star state is too much for one for
mer Democrat. He is E. F. Bax
ter, of Chilton, Texas, who wrote to
the Republican National Committee
headquarters here announcing his
conversion and enclosing newspaper
clippings which described queer go
ings on in his home state.
“The article striking me most
forcibly is that where right here in
Texas with thousands on relief the
people in the lower valley section
are asking for permission to ship
in Mexicans to pick a bountiful
crop,” Mr. Baxter wrote. “So much
for the Roosevelt relief.”
The story to which he referred,
an Associated Press dispatch in the
Dallas News, said the Mercedes
chamber of commerce had asked
Congressman Milton H. West to
seek suspension of the immigration
rulings to meet the labor shortage.
Growers feared damage to the crop
if it were not picked at once, but
no local labor could be obtained.
Straight From the Heart
“It would be well for politi
cians to remember that there
are still more people off relief
than on it. These will have a
say about the building of a po
litical machine with their own
hard-earned dollars. — Charles
Francis Coe.
"Nearly everything has been
explained except why there are
more unemployed this year than
there were last year. — The
Lynchburg (Va.) News, Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia, owner.
