in the. free system of government ust have given hope! to millions of upon millions of others—on the heroic fsland of Britain—in the ruined cities of France and Belgium—yes, perhaps even to people Wn Germany and Italy. It has given hope wherever man hapes to be free. o'In the campaign preceeding this election, serious issues were av stake. People became bitter. . . . ,. But we Americans know that the bitterness is a distortion, not a true Zeflection of what is in our hearts. 4 can truthfully say that there is Xo bitterness in mine. I hope there is none in yours.

A vital | element in the balanced operation of democracy is a. strong, alert and watchful opposition. That is our task for the next four years. We must. constitute ourselves a vigorous, loyal and public-spirited opposition party. = It has [been suggested that in order to present a united front to a: threatening world, the minority ) convictions and join the majority. This would ‘mean that in| the United States of America, there would be only one dominant party-—only one economic |philosophy—only one -political philosophy. of life. This is a totalitarian idea—it is ja slave idea —it must be rejected utterly. The British people [are unified with a unity almost unexampled in history for its endurance and its valor. Yet that unity co-exists with an unimpaired freedom) of criticism

and of suggestion. ... .

In Britain some opposition party feaders are members of the government and some say that a similar device should be adopted here. That is a false conception of our government. When a leader of the ‘British Liberal Party or of the British Labor Party becomes a member of the Churchill cabinet, he becomes—from the British parliamentary point of view—an equal to Mr. Churchill's, |

OUR SITUATION DIFFERENT

* With us the situation fis different.

Our executive branch isnot a committee of our legislative branch. Our President is independent of our Congress. The members of his cabinet are not his colleagues. = They are his administrative subordinates. They are subject to his orders.

~~ An American President could fill his whole cabinet with leaders of the opposition party and still our administration would not be a twoparty administration. It would be gn administration of a majority President giving orders to minority representatives of his own choosing. These representatives must concur fn the President’s convictions. If they do not they have no alternative

except to resign.

Clearly no such device can give us in this country any self-respect-ing agreement between majority and minority for concerted effort toward the national welfare. Such a plan for us would be but the shadow—not the substance of unity. Our American unity |canfiot be made with words “or gestures. It aust be forged: between the ideas .the opposition and the practices g policies of the administration. @urs is a government of principles hd not one merely of men. Any jember of the minority party, fough willing ‘to die for his funtry, still retains the right toy iticize the policies of the governi This right (is imbedded in our constitutional system. . . . § Therefore, to you who have so

sincerely given yourselves to this cause, which you chose me to lead, I say: “Your function during the

opposition.” You believe deeply in the principles that we stood for in the recent campaign. And principles are not like football suits to be put on in order to play a game and then taken off when the game is over.

‘AN OPPOSITION FOR’

Let me raise a single warning. Ours is a very powerful opposition

—on November 5th we were a minority by only a few million votes. Let us not, therefore, fall into the partisan error of opposing things just for the sake of opposition. Ours must not be an opposition against —it must be an opposition for—an opposition for a strong American; a productive America. For only the productive can be strong and only the strong can be free. Let me remind you of the principles for which we fought and which we hold as sincerely today as we did yesterday. We do not believe in unlimited spending of borrowed money-the piling up of bureaucracy—the control .of our electorate by political machines, however successful—the usurpation of powers reserved to Congress—the subjugation of the courts—the concentration of enormous authority in the hands of the executive—the discouragement of enterprise—and the continuance of economic -dependence for millions of our citizens upon the Government. Nor do we believe in verbal provocation. to war. We stand for a free America—an America of opportunity created by the enterprise and imagination of its citizens. . , . Under our philosophy, the primary purpose of government is to serve its people—keep them from hurting one another. For this reason our Federal Government has regulatory laws and commissions.

MUST FIGHT FOR LABOR

For this reason we must fight for the rights of labor, for assistance to the farmer, and for protection for

the’ unemployed, the-aged and the physically handicapped. But while our government must thus regulate and protect us, it must not dominate our lives. We, the people are the masters. . . . Let me take as an example the danger that threatens us through our national debt. Two days after the election, this Administration recommended that the national debt limit be increased from forty-nine billion to sixty-five billion dollars. Immediately after that announcement, prices on the New York Stock Exchange and other exchanges, jumped sharply upward. This is not a sign of health, but a sign of fever. Those who are familiar with these things agree that ths announcement of the Treasury indicated a danger—sooner or later— of inflation. ‘You all know what inflation means. You have lately watched its poisonous course in Europe. It means a rapid decline in the purchasing power of money—a decline in what the dollar will buy. Stated the other way round, inflation means a rise in the price of everything—food, rent, clothing, amusements, automobiles—necessities and luxuries. Invariably these prices rise faster than wages, with the result that the workers suffer and the standard of living declines. No man can say exactly how. big the national debt can become, be-

They come from .all parts of our country and from all kinds of people. . . . In your enthusiasm for our cause, you founded thousands of organizations.. They are your own organizations, financed by you and directed by you. It is appropriate for you to continue them if you feel so inclined. I hope you do continue them. It is not, however, appropriate to continue these organizations in my name. I do not want this great selse to be weakened by even a sémblance of any personal advantage to any individual. ‘I feel too deeply about it for that, 1944 will take care of itself. It is of the very essence of my belief that democracy is fruitful of leadership. . I want to see all of us dedicate ourselves to the principles for which we fought. My fight for those principles has just begun. I shall advocate them in the future as ardently and as confidently as I have in the past. . . .

PROMISES TO CARRY ON

Whatever I may undertake in the coming years, I shall be working shoulder to shoulder with you for the defense of our free way of life, for the better understanding of our economic system and for the development of that new America whose vision lies within everyone

| |of us.

fore causing serious inflation. But some sort of limit certainly exists, beyond which lies financial chaos.

It is not incumbent upon any American to remain silent concerning such a danger. I shall not be silent and I hope you will not be. This is one of your functions as a minority. = But in fulfiilling our duties as an opposition party we must be careful to be constructive. We must help to show the way. Thus, in order to counteract the threat of inflation and to correct some of our economic errors, we can offer five steps for our government to take immediately. . FIRST, all Federal expenditures except those for national defense and necessary relief ought to be cut to the bone. Work relief obviously, has to be maintained, but every effort should be made to substitute for relief productive jobs. SECOND, the building of new plants and new machinery for the defense program should be accomplished as far as possible by private capital, There should be no nationalizing under the guise of defense of any American industry with a consequent outlay of Federal funds. THIRD, taxes should be levied so as to approach as nearly as possible the pay-as-you-go plan. Obviously, we cannot hope to pay for all the defense program as we go. But we must do our best. That is part of the sacrifice that we must make.

‘WITCH-HUNTING MUST STOP

FOURTH, taxes and government restrictions should be adjusted to

take the brakes off private enterprise so as to give it freedom, under wise regulation, to release new investments and new energies and thus to increase the national income. \ . FIFTH, and finally, our government must change its punitive attitude toward both little and big businessmen. Regulations there must be—we of the opposition have consistently recommended that. - But the day of witch hunting is over. If this Administration has the unity of America really at heart— it must consider without prejudice and with an open mind such recommendations of the opposition. National unity can only be achieve by recognizing and giving serious weight to the viewpoint of the opposition. Such a policy can come only from the Administration itself. It will be from the suppression of the opposition that discord and disunity wil] arise. The Administration has the ultimate power to force us apart or to bind us together.

And now a word about the most important immediate task that confronts us. On this, all Americans There is no disagreement among us about the defense of America.

GERMANS EXCITED ABOUT NEW PLASTIC

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Fabrics made from a synthetic resin, polyvinyl chloride, are being hailed

in Germany as a great advance over rayon, Lanital and other materials derived originally from plant and animal sources. An enthusiastic description of the new sfiber, written by Dr, Herbert

PAG

Rein, is printed in a July number

of the journal, Die Umschau, just received here after weeks of delay in transit. A chemically related product of American origin is already on the market in this countryy under the trade name of Vinyon. The polyvinyl chloride fiber is given the convenience-name ‘“PeCe” (pronounced “pay-say”). It is derived from coal, lime, water and chlorine. The new fiber is highly resistant to both strong acids and strong alkalis in chemical factories.
