Although his speech was delivered in New York end in support of Senator Wadsworth of the Empire state the compelling facts presented by Secretary of Commons Hoover Saturday night ably support the eon- tention of the Republicans in Fair. that Congressman Schuy cr Merritt .ahould be return. ed to is aea‘. in the House of Rep- rosantetivss. Mr. Hoover showed among other things: dose National Issues Ilene "This election is one of more than local issues. it is far more than that. It involves also whether the nation- ei Administration shell be crippled in its work of reconstruction and the promotion of progress. whether we shall have consistent economic and governmental polici whether the policies by which we ave come thus far are to be halted end wheth- er we are to substitute two years of confusion and hesitation in the com- pletion of e great national task. "it must be home in mind that the control of either branch of Congress by the Democratic party as the re- sult of the coming election means a deadlock in the progress of govern- mental policies. A Democratic Con- gress will not even make possible the adoption of alternative policies. Be- cause the executive department of the government will remain within the control of the Republican party. and it is pledged to the maintenance and development of the policies now in operation. We do not p—rfipel a vehicle forward by hitching one hard with his head turned in one direction and one with . his head turned in the opposite direction. Yet this is all that can possibly result if tho two branches of the government shall be in different parties. _ “But i wish to examine this ques- tion of parties and elections in the big or light. in the light of the fun amatitsi philosophy of our pol- itical institutions. a monument to which has been the marvelously succesqu policies of our alter-war reconstruction. We have developed as nowhere else on earth the syn- tt-m of two-party responsibility. The necessity of one of our political parties being tr led with the re- sponsibility for national policies is the outgrowth of our century and a half of political experience. it has come to be a fundamental to sue. ceastui democracy. 0 Autocrscy Rises in Europe “All America today is looking with apprehension upon the gradual de- cay and abandonment of democracy in Europe and the rise of auidcrstic ideals. This decay of government by the people has een due. first. to the overloading 0 their governments with functions which should be borne by individual enterprises. but beyond this it has also been‘eoueily due to the destruction of authority and actuleesponsibiiity for gov- ernment by their split responsibility in political v.11”. We have in the pest given too litt e thought to the vital part which t e organization of political parties eat their single re. aponsibility plays in the whole me- chinery of government by the people. In times gone by. when our problem were less complex. it did not matter as greatly. Today it is vital to orderly progress and sus- tained government by the people. "As time has gone on. as popula- tion has increased and civilization has grown more complex. as our government issues have become more indefinitely complicated. so has our system of two dominant po- litical parties become more and more e vital part of our machinery of self government. Political parties are today the only means for self expression of the will of such great masses of people. It is the sole method by which they can give or- ganisation expression of their will through the ballot as a substitute for the violence of revolution. But political parties cannot exercise their policies, they cannot be held accountable for them unless they be trusted with full responsibility and authority. "Moreover. thanks to the policies we have pursued.“ can show a he. lies of the most astonishing trans- formations in economic history, the epitome of which lies in the follow- ing table from the Departmeht of Labor: 0 Movement of Wages and Prices. issoasse raw-too _ Average Union wholesale prices Year wage rates all commodities. i920 ...... 190 320 1921 zoo, 147 192: . ..... m 149 1:23....” Ill 1“ 1924 ...... 288 100 10:0 (Aug) ”I 149 “This means Gist while wages in the United states have increased nearly :0 per cent since 1030. wholesale prl are nearly to per cent lower. a point of all is that We have in live years an astono lshing in reeae of wages and. paral- lel with it. a decrease in the price of things which labor must buy. No such results would be possible with- out effective government economic policies. . ° With British "a oomperlsen with steami- Brit- ish lndeeas gives striking evidence that these result are not universal. but are peculiar to the United states: Index timbers of Wages and Prices, Great Brit-h. 1010-1030 I,“ ..... 118 Hoover Tells Why on Like' Schuyler Merritt Should r , .. . .. w " . mutan- iv, 0 lie ” Elected MEET C.

"Nor have these advances in the condition of American labor been accomplished by the grinding of men between the milinoncs of in- dustry. The hare of labor have sensibly dccrelsed. the amount of ie are has increased. A Republican». Pr sldent and his Cabinet finally cured that great sore of the labor world—tho twelve-hour day and the eighty-four hour week. It has now been abolished from all Ainvricen industry. This was accomplished not by legislation. not by .virikcs. not by interruption to prmiuution. but by cooperation between lli“ gov- ernment and the industries tin-m. selves. And the movement for ion- sening of hours of labor and in- crease of leisure is not at an end; there will he further sharing by in. her in the incr ased prudurtivity that comes with its development of science and industry and with sound poiii-irs of government. llcstrnin Economic Selfishnf'ss "We hnve heard a great deal about the faults in our economic system. We have heard much of monopolies. of strangulation and selfish action on the. part of luisln. crs. No one will deny that these things are attempted. But they have been vigorously restrained. And no grcnt economic system could b:- mainiuined. pouring forth its production. giving full employment in labor at constantly iiirrvnsing standards of living if there is any u-idrspn nd conspiracy of this char- acter against the consumer. if there were any extensive activities of this kind on would not have this aston- ishing advance in real purchasing power of wages. "Should the wage earner of Am. erica today desire a change in na- tional policies? “No one seriously questions the extraordinary progrem of the nation under the Republican party. i 'vr crease u, on "W illnulh Tyrol. which has come into scuuvnart'xnnnlrr. . i i we have twice the number of homes ‘ owned among every thousand peo- ple than thr-y have; we lan‘ pro- portionately one-twentieth tho num-l her of pcople in the poor house or dependent public charity. in pro-i portion to our popuiailon we havcl 1-3 more of our children in grade schools than that country and for every thousand of our young peo- ple we have eight times as many in , colleges and universities.

The abo- might trouble you a moment “ith the tests of progrfi by winch , nmeaed economists express our re- cent advance in well being unparai- , iried in any other period in our his. tory. "For instance. we have increased. our supply of electricity from forty- ‘ three billion units in 1020 to sixty-1 nix billion this year. end we haw inlit‘il that much sweat from the racks of men. In 1920 there were; 2.000.000 electrified homes: today: there are 10.000.000, with all the; consequent relief from drudgery. in' six years we have built 2.500.000} new and better homes. Our cities] have become magnificent with beau- , tiiul buildings. We have increased: our automobiles by 7.000.000 since’ lval. until today we have 13.000.- 000 out of the 22,000,000 in the. \"llOlO world. And they have stretch ed the vision and improved the' leisure of our people. I “We have increased the washing sent out to the laundry—by 200 per, cent in five years and we have in-i creased the electric washing mn-i chines at home from 1.000.000 in, 4.000.000 in the same time. A lonn' list of articles which not long ago were luxuries and are still luxuries in the rest of the world have be- come embraced in our category of necessities. And this betterment of the economic status of the average man is gaining momentum every year. In five years we have doubled the aggregate deposits in savings banks and building loan associations. We have practically doubled the volume of‘ life insurance wi h a vast increase in the number 0 insured. Therefore. despite all this spending for increase in standards of ilvins and comfort. our people are steed- ily investing more in security for their old age and in times of ill winds. These are the proofs of re- cuperaticn. Facts of Our “parity. "I have compared our evidence of progress with the most advanced foreign country in the world as a further test of our accomplishment. l ilnd. for instance. thesonsump- tion over the whole United ltetes of meat and fate is so per cent per family more than in that most ad- vanced foreign country; our con. sumptien of sugar per family is so per cent more: our consumption of fruit per person is four times as much: our consumption of breed is less. because our higher standards or living permit us to buy more of the foodstuffs we like better. For each thousand of the population we have eight and one-half times as many telephones as that country: we consume eleven and one-half times as much electricity and that we have thirty times as many automobiles: i 'muntry or in any other time. ‘nre spending this recuperation and , this fundamental progress are worth fcnto the taking of some different .executive and we shall have neither lition of poverty has been the dream of ideslists since the beginning of leetland's national costume is "on for associate of the London Polleo-Con‘ahle Nichols et un. worn by King George. his sons, and College of Music. could play simple don is amlng the tailed. ”um“, most society people when lrbths kingdom north of the Tweed. aid.
