Taft Hits Emergency Powers of E.D.R. And Confers With Hoosier G.O.P. Aids
ON 34TH STREET
Party Leaders ‘Sizing up’ Ohio Senator as-1940 Candidate.
Indiana Republican leaders today
| were summarizing the qualifications
of U. S. Senator Robert A, Taft (R. 0.) as a G. O. P. Presidential possibility after meeting him personally for the first time here yesterday. During a private reception given for the Senator at the Claypool Hotel, most of the party leaders from all sections of the state interviewed the Ohioan individually. State G. O. P. Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt arranged the reception but declined to comment on the extent of Indiana party support for the Senator.
Addresses Women’s Rally
The Senator, in addresses before the Republican women’s state rally meeting and the Indianapolis ‘Bar Association, attacked existing laws as giving the President powers equal to “a dictator in time of war.” Mrs. Taft, who has been the Senator’'s chief campaign aid in Ohio, was principal speaker at the G. O. P. women's meeting. “It is important,” Senator Taft said, “that the statutes (giving emergéncy powers to the President), be more definite on the question of time when the various powers may be exercised. Some fields are not covered at all, so that it may even be necessary to supplement these laws. In general, however, they seem to give the President such extensive power that an sdministration desiring to substitute for the present economic organization of the United States a completely socialized systera, could go a long way in that direction.
‘We Face Socialization’
“It is impossible to predict what kind of a bill may be adopted if we become involved in a war, but it seems probable that the Government would require absolute power to regulate every business in the United States, ahd do exactly what a Government -would do under a socialist plan of-life. It is likely that some such bill would be passed. “Personally, I do not believe that such arbitrary powers are necessary. There should be a complete plan for mobilization of those resources which have a direct relation to war. “With the powers which exist, and the general patriotic spirit of cooperation existing in war time, I be-
lieve the Government could Secure

all the production, transportation and other services which it could obtain under strict compulsion. “Some of the bills are drafted and introduced on the theory that wealthy individuals in some way involve us in war, and should be discouraged. I do not believe in the basic premise. “Durin¥ the last war emergency powers were exercised by men with at least sympathy toward the existing economic order, but inspired, as I saw them, solely with the desire to make effective the nation’s resources for the winning of the war. In my opinion, the same policy should prevail during thé next war. : “But it will depend on the spirit in which the laws are administered because existing or future laws will certainly make the President a potential dictator in time of war. The present Administration has shayy its intense interest in ‘a planned economy in time of peace, and its belief that the Government can produce prosperity by the regulation of agriculture, commerce and industry. “I thoroughly disagree with that philosophy, and I would fear that an administration dominated - by it

would not restrain its wishes when war power is granted.” Mrs. Taft in- her address charged that the “he kept us out of war” slogan is being “polished up again” as propaganda in support of a thirdterm for President Roosevelt, “We are alert against foreign propaganda. But are we quick to recognize propaganda at home? The New Deal has had long practice in propaganda. Huge publicity bureaus, in connection with each department are paid with taxpayers’ money., They are adept at coining slogans.” Mrs. (Taft charged that the Ad-
ministration’s policy is to “turn our attention away from its failures by trying to focus our attention on the foreign situation.” The Senator’s wife spoke before about 1200 persons. Mrs. Eleanor Barker Snodgrass, Nashville, Republican state vice chairman, presided. Guests included former U. S. Senator James E." Watson and Raymond E. Willis, Republican nominee for
