New Deal's Blundering Policies Keep Millions Idle, Says Knox

Specific Broadsides Hurled by “Fighting Colonel” During His Acceptance Speech.

Chicago.—The vague, unsuccessful economic experiments known as the New Deal were charged with < "delaying recovery” and "with responsibility for the ten million still unemployed” by Colonel Frank Knox in his address accepting the Republican nomination for vicepresident. Colonel Knox spoke before a wildly enthusiastic crowd which filled to overflowing the huge Chicago stadium. Senator Frederick Sleiwer 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 s campaign with “his clear call to all citizens to Join in a crusade sos 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 war service when he said: "Long years ago I learned os a buck private the lessons of duty and loyalty " "In this spirit Os service. 1 accept the call of my phrty. 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 Stales, the Honorable Alf Landnn ** 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 vihficatiojn of business men. At a Ume 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 dp a system of regimentation of industry that reduced production and prevented reemployment. By coercion of Congress it forced the j passage of reform measures so 1 recklessly drawn that they hamstrung the revival of enterprise and paralyzed the renewal of investnjent 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 ume when private industry was struggling desperjately for a new start it set up governmental enterprise to compete with private business. At a time when the burden of taxation was already hajd to bear, it embarked on a policy of squandering public funds and increasing the weight of taxes. At a time when united effort ar.d mutual good will would! have completed recovery it Dibmoted sec-, tional hatred and class strife. At a time when returning business con : fidence 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 emadiated it performed major surgiejal operations upon the industrial body to see what was inside ij adopted an economic philosophy] of scarcity and forced it upon * hungry and distressed people." Even though the New Deal "failed in its Job." iColonel Knox declared that recovery could not be permanently blocked, by "governmental error,” out only "retarded 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 Deal, which he described as "This policy of government by guess, officially explained by President 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 tapdancing.* 1 ' Colonel Knox pointed out the major New Deal agencies, the AAA, the PWA, the CWA. the WPA and devaluation of the dollar were old in history before America was discovered and that they had failed in Babylon, Rome and England centuries ago. "In reviewing the principles of Die 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 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 before election, not after. And whatever measures the Republican administration may urge upon Congress, not one will flout the Constitution of the United States. Not got will violate the obligation of

“Telling Blows” Highlights taken from the acceptance speech of Colonel Frank Knox, Republican candidate for vice president , at Chicago Stadium, July 30, 1936: I charge the present administration with delaying recovery in the United States and the world.

Not one will break a promise." Earlier in his address, the candidate had referred to the fact that the New Deal 1 plans and experiments were not contained in the 1936 Democratic platform. Amateur Experimenters. Avoiding any and all mention of personalities. drove home telling telling “For more rs the economic l>fe of has been at mercy ■ brew of amateur e«>erimeniers%hacking at the vitals M American industry, agriculture commerce and finance. “ “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) mean Federal 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 *he home of every American 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." I Coercive Control. Cplonel 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 t Knox said: t “The people want recovery, hot , rhetoric. They want economy, not , waste. They want work, not re- j lief. They want cooperation among t the partners in production, not in- ( dust rial strife. They want order in economic life, not an occasional breathing spell. They want dignity in government, not a merry-go round.” In his final statements. Colonel t Knox turned to what the people can ( expect from the Republican party , and asserted that the Republican t platform appeals to the “whole peo- t pie”, to the "sincere Democrats” , and to the "millions of thrifty and hard-working people”. He con tin- - ued: | "It (The Republican party) does 1 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 practical measures to help in the solution of the problems of trade and industry and agriculture, the problems of poverty and insecurity.” KI SHAKE WELL BEFORE READING Washington.—Now one of the New Deal's federal bureaus le going to tell you how much gin to put Into a martini or ho*& much “eing** goes Into a “Singapore Sling."

Veterans Meet to Commemorate

GRAND DETOUR, ILL., July 27.—Returning to this little village where the first practical steel plow was made just one hundred years ago this coming winter, sons and daughters and grandchildren of the original settlers of this pioneer community today gathered to commemorate the event with the dedication of the latest descendant of that original plow. , Amos H. Bosworth, 111, Dixon, 111., 72. for many years secretary» of the company, recalled the days of the Grand Detour Plow Company before it became in 1919 a division of the J. I. Case Company, Racine, Wis. According to Boaivorth, the jearly wave of migration that brought settlers to the agricultural prairies of Illinois threatened to flounder in the thick, loamy soil which clung to their old wooden and iron bladed implements. Major Leonard Andrus, the founder of Grand Detour, and John Deere, a blacksmith, made a plow in 1837 using a steel saw blade from Andrus’ mill for the share and moldboard. The plow scoured, 1 thereby enabling early settlers 1 to conquer the rich prairies they ; found in the Middle West. Jl South Carolina Bay* Explained The South Carolina bays.

Plow Co

n pany’s 100th Year

As L. Andrus & Company, the two entered a partnership to manufacture steel plow's. Later the grandfather of Amos Bosworth became a partner. The first Bosworth was the father-in-law of Andrus, giving the present descendant a double connection with the steel plow. Before the name was changed to- the Grand Detour Plow company, the firm was known as Andrus & Bosworth. Other old settlers in the party that inspected the Centennial Plow, which culminates the Case Company’s full hundred years of steel plow making, were Mrs. Leonard Andrus, 75, Portland, Ore., the daughter-in-law of Major Andrus, and Mrs. Marcia Parks, 86, Woosung, 111., whose mother was the first white woman to set foot at Grand Detour. Mrs. Parks cm recall when this town refused a right-of-way to the railroad, a decision that eventually was to cause them to lose their plow factory to nearby Dixon. The event was held on the site of the first factory where the State of Illinois has erected a steel highway marker, replacing the old stone obelisk which had stood here many years.
