J Capehart—
By HOMER E. CAPEH ART AM HAPPY to have the opportunity to state my position on the issues that I am certain are of the utmost importance to the American voters. ~~ There will be no equivocation = on my part on-any of the issues. I stand squarely for or against them, as the case may be, and I am also proud to- offer my “record of six years in the United States Senate as further evidence of the position I take, It is not my intention to list the- issues in the order of importance for I believe all of them to be important. They all come under the headings— a bungled international policy and the threat of socialization of America. Some fit under * both headings. I am against socialized medicine and socialized farming. The New Dealers are attempting to throw a smokescreen over these issues, but they are real. issues and the people should not lose sight of them in considering thelr votes on Nov. 7. ~ ” n I AM against deficit spending and exorbitant non-essential government expenditures, We “must adopt a more sound fiscal policy or we will wreck our entire economy. High prices and the diminished value of the dollar are\traceable to the governpolicies of un-
American: lives to have our Secretary of State Dean Acheson invite aggression and then try to overwhelm the aggressor.
be taken, a step that! would
to the point where it may yet achieve the purpose for which it —was—-intended -is—-the-establish-— ment of an international police®™ force. Such a force is provided fer under the United Nations charter, but nothing has ever been done to create the force. Such a force doubtless could have fought the Korean War without any more than alerting the national forces in the United Nations countries. Certainly, it could. have prevented all-out mobilization. An international police force, properly equipped and of a size to ‘deal with a sizable aggressor’ at the outset of hostilities, would be a formidable step toward peace. It also would re-. lieve the great burden of .righting and dying by American men. >» = - I AM also sternly against continuing Marshall Plan aid or any other aid to countries which continue to supply materials and equipment to Russia which are purchased with American tax dollars. Mr. Truman supported Russian aid and I heartily disagree with “him. : Of course, I. take just as strong a position against com-
