Stockton, Owner) ( I 'olitical Advertising; ) The Senator's Column ? ? ? HOLLOW PROMISES National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan has promised die Amei -an voters that "further tax reductions will be made as rapidly as a sound financial policy will permit." What a promise! What a hollow promisei Yes, the New Deal will give the overburdened taxpayers re lief when "a sound financial policy will permit.'' "When a sound financial policy will permit " There is a tintinnabula tion to these words 01 others uttered in previous campaigns. It carries us back to that Democratic convention in Chicago when tried and true men wrote platform pledging "immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abol ishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating depart ments and bureaus an(l eliminating extravagance, to accom plish a saving of not less than 25 per cent in the cost ?>! Federal Government." t There, friends, is the original promise of a political party, which changed its name tp "New Deal Party." made to the American people. Upon this promise the American people ,;ent the Democratic Party to power, but in less time than it takes to tell the story, the Democratic Party platform was blown higher than Gilroy's kite and supplanted with a program ' of deceit and deception plotted by designing schemers drunk with the idea that from that day on the Government of the United States would be their exclusive property The first step in the repudiation of that Chicago convention promise was the President's closing of the banks, all banks, the country over This was three days before Congress came into session and the next move was to make of Congress a rubber stamp. President Roosevelt asked for approval of his banking action and the Congress gave it The Congress made everything legal after the fact. Then Mr. Roosevelt collected up the gold dollars and gold certificates. In return for the gold the people received paper printing press money. He then devalued the dollar. All this was done in the name of "an emergency." But at no time nad the people been forewarned of what was coming up Repudiation followed quickly in which Congress passed an act repudiating the gold redemption clause making payment of Government debts in any sort of money the Government might provide. It went on to make all contracts between individuals and cor porations, calling for settlement in gold, payable in any kind of specie recognized by the Federal Government. From here on out each new Administration-created emer gency called for the creation of a new bureau and the expen diture of millions of dollars. And with each new bureau came the promise that next year the budget would be balanced ;ind the country would be back on a safe and sound financial oasis Then, they told us, would begin the reduction of taxes as "con sistent with a sound financial policy." Such were the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Such were his promises year after year Tor twelve long years. The National debt mounted. It doubled. The people oecame alarmed. Then came the war. Never was the budget balanced. Never were taxes, reduced. They couldn't be reduced because the New Deal was "spending, spending and electing and elect ing," just as Harry Hopkins and the/ scheming braintrusters had planned. Their promises were as hollow as a gourd and as empty of integrity as a Russian agreement The New Dealers never could and can't to this day tell the truth even when the truth would serve their interests best. So, here we are up to the Hannegan promise, "tax reductions will be made as rapidly as a sound financial policy will permit." I wonder if a New Deal politician would recognize a sound financial policy if it were to be laid in his lap? I doubt it. It New Dealers have ever had the slightest idea of what a "sound financial policy" really is they have never so indicated. I think some of them do, but a question of expediency always arises Is it expedient to stop spending? Is it expedient to advocate thrift, work and common honesty, or Is It expedient to create political jobs, pay subsidies and throw tax dollars around with wild abandon? Down to this moment these New Deal politicans have chosen the easy way and deferred the evil day of settle ment. Is it, Mr Hannegan, sound business to sink American tax dollars in payment of subsidies to take food out of the Amer ican people's mouths and clothes. off their backs? This is what is being done at this very moment and you know it. OPA pays the subsidies out of tax dollars. UNRRA ships the food to Tito, et al Is it good, sound business, Mr. Hannegan, to squander $400, 000,000 on salaries, office rents, traveling expenses and sub sidies and not get one single house for a service man and his family? But why go on? It is the same old story all the way from Central American to Canol. It is the history of the New Deal from the 4th of March, 1933, to the moment you read this column. Today Mr Hannegan and his New Deal organization is fight ing for its life. It stated the greed of the CIO-PAC by re establishing the OPA. It did this for the sake al expediency. Now it would be the expedient thing, according to New Deal leaders, to suspend OPA controls on meat until after election. And. the New Deal way is always the expedient way. It is any thing to get the votes If the subsidy dollar will bring in the votes, then subsidy dollars roll. If it is expedient to talk econ omy and practice waste, the New Deal is always long on talk. A New Dealer Is not a Democrat He is not a Republican. He is a hybrid of a thousand unworkable theories and above all he is a jealous zealot with a ruining, ruling complex. His phobia is that some day the American people will rise up and .smite' him to earth. In fear he trades with alien ideologies and works to the end that will bring about the deliverance of his country into the hands of its enemies Thus he hopes to remain m" power. The time has come to elect good Americans to Congress. Men and women who regard a promise as a sacred oath to be kept regardless of political affiliation can be found outside of the New Deal conglomeration. Some of these are good Demo crats, some are Republicans, but always good Americans before they are partisans. You can't vote New Dealers back into power and expect to dodge bankruptcy and slavery. Their return means chaos and utter ruination. In their places, install good men and women who refuse to break their promises. / ? The W. Lee O'Daniel News.
