PIHTO « ELLY mim UEKJAWW ' GOVERNOR AIKEN'S WEMM , TIMBER POINT SATURDAY THE speech of Governor George D. Ai3.cn of Vermont at Timber Point Saturday follows: \In spite of the recent request from 'Washington that the citizen s of the United States drop partisan- ship during the present period which has been somewhat vaguely defined as a limited national emergency, _ I don 't have any feeling of being dis- loyal to ills'- country in speaking to a partisan political group today. \I freely admit that I have never yet been aMe to acquire an intense partisan feeling- concerning polities. But events of recent weeks have con- vinced me that partisanship is need- ' ed in America today as much or more than it has been, in the past . ' ¦ ¦[. \Looking over across the Atlanti c , $re observe the situation of certain aiations where partisanship ¦ was elim- inated. The people of those nations , . willingl y or not , entrusted their wel- U' are and their hopes to a central ' government which with the assist- ance of a large and efficient army ' succeeded in making partisanship ex- tremely unp opular and unsafe. But no one , observing the present plight ' of Europe , can say that the dropping of partisanship in Germany and Rus- sia has been advantageous to those peoples. t Not Blmdly Partisan | £__ -^ =- - = ~^4> \Partisanship is often Mind , un- reasoning or fanatical and conceal s ulterior motives. In this respect - it ought to be dropped not only durin g periods of emergency, limited or oth- erwise , but for all times as much as it lies ' Within the power of ordinary mortals to do so. But if dropping partisanship means that we sh ould not question the motives of our gov- ernment and should align ourselves solidly behind those who during re- cent years have been anything hut non-partisan in word and deed , who have failed in almost every way to bring the people of the United States that progress most earnestly desired and that improvement in welfare for which we all yearn , then I say that now of all times men and women of our country mu st be partisan and guard the right to freely express themselves as they have never done before. fact remains that we have the At- lantic Ocean between us and those countries over there , but we haven 't ;thre« thousand miles of water be- tween us and Washington. i \I don 't know what Washington [would do without this war. The ad- ministration down there has in recent month s boen thwarte d at almost ev- te ' ry turn in its attempts to subserve ;th e judicial and legislative branches of government and to appropriate the resources belonging to the people and the states. . It seemed headed to . certain defeat. \It isn 't patriotic for anyone to question the motives and policy of any government at this time. Patrio- tism is love of country and devotion to its welfare. It cannot be con- sidered unpatriotic to do our utmost to keep our country out of war , es- pecially when the danger of war constitutes a menace to our form of governmen t and our American in- stitutions. \But I am not down here today to make a speech on the European war situation. We may be in danger from Europe and we may not. The ' \Then along cain e the war in (Europe , mercifully spreading: a smoke screen over the failures and unsolved problems of recent years . Washington adds fuel to the . smolec pots. l>aily scare heads em- anate from the White House. [ \Mention the all time high national debt— and submarines are sighted ;<jft ¥ Cape Cod. Call attention to the , ten million unemployed of the nation r—and tlie Germans threaten to wno ' x . Camida. Speak a word about the tfaihu-e to restore parity pvice$ f or iavvii products—and western civilisa- tion , is threatened with extinction, No- tice the fact that :Ccdernl commis- ' sions hail American business into comt arid act as jud ge , jurj/ and prosecutor—-and the sisso cf our army must be- doubled at once , \Yea , t think , this war is a docl - 8cn<| to that political group who now* control the government of the United States There is no question but ivheifc the chances cf continuing this control ave enhanced' hy this b-Uck- /out of its failures ivnd the screening Smolie Screen Over Failures of its aims by the situation brought upon us today. \We hav e known for a long time that th at group in and about the White House who would centralize control over all resources—agricultu- ral—industrial—natural and human —could always fall back upon the threat of war if all other means failed to attain their ends. ' I want to refer you to the Republican party Platform for the State of Vermont which was adopted September 17 , 1938 or approximately one year be- fore the outbreak of this war in Europe. \This section of our platform reads as follows: \ 'Still new perils are in store , of which we must be forewarned. In the worl d as it is today it is neces- sary for every country to count on the possibility of armed conflict , for it is no longer true that it takes two to make a war. We hereby pledge ourselves to employ every means to avoid this calamity. But we warn OUT fellow citizens that should we be drawn into -war under this admin- istration , we face a peril greater 1 than war itself—th e permanent loss of our liberties. \ \Th e material resources of this na- tion were organized in 1917 under the War Industries board to support our government in the conduct of its part in the World war. That organization operated on a voluntary, cd-opei ' ative basis. It worked effectively for the duration of the war. It dissolved automatically when peace was declar- ed. Were the same emergency to arise under the existing, administra- tion , what would be the method ot national organization ? Every in- stinct , every previous act , of the ad- ministration points to a seizing of the \ excuse cf welfare to put upon every citizen and every material resource of this nation a permanent statutory control which will hind us wh en the emergency has passed. \ 'By all means we must avoid war under the present administration if we would preserve for ourselves that freedom which our sister democracies across the sea are feverishly prepar- ing to defend. By all mean s we must return to Congress men determ- ined to preserve our liberties and a form of government based upon tlie mutu al respect and patrioti c co-op- eration of the representatives of tlie several states. 2?' or Vermont this mean s the election of the Republi- can candidate for the national House and Senate ' . ; \That is the way . -the people of Vermont and the sixty-seven per- cent of our voters who cast Republi- can ballots last year felt then; and that is the way we feel today. \The fears which we expressed at that time , and which we had private- ly expressed long 1 before ' that time , have been substantiated to a full degree. Federal agencies under the smoke screen of war are redoubling their efforts to acquire control over the entire resources of our nation. \I grant that they would prefer to attain this control without in- volving' us in a foreign war. I Plans for Regimentation j \But if war comes , federal plan s hav e been formulated ' for the com- plete regimentati on of American in- dustry. I yonder if some of you here today secured a copy of that book by Leo Cherne , 'Adjusting Your Business to War ' . It is published by the Tax Research institute and contains a foreword by iouis Johns on , assistant secretary of war , who would have the responsibility df reg- imenting the material resources of our nation in the event- of war. Mr. Johnson ' s approval of this book gives it at least a quasi-official status. \It describes in details plans for mobilizing and virtually confiscating American industry and American re- sources in the event of war. Grant- ing that in order to wage war suc- cessfully against a dictatorship an- other nation must operate as a coun- terpart of its enemy, it is neverthe- less revealing fhd no less alaiming to learn to wliat extent the United States government plans to establish totalitarianism in America in the event of war. \According to the autlior of thi s book who undoubtedly had authentic information , tlm President will ask for and doubtless receive emergency powers. It would be partisan and unpatriotic to oppose his request. He would be given the absolut e control over all the facilities of industry, all labor , all power , all agriculture , all commodities , all matei'ial resourc- es , all financial institutions and all methods of transportation and com- munication. \He would tell the farmers what to plant , when to plant and where to plant and what price they could sell for. He /would tell labor where it c ould work , when it could work and fix wages and hours for every type of employment. Industry would be told what each factory could make , and a price fixed upon the raw ma- terial and finished- product by gov- ernment employees 1 . \Dollar-a-year men , who during the last World war served tlieir coun- try from patriotic \ motives , would be replaced by 10 , 000 dollar-a-year men. If past .operations 1 df our government are any indicati on , this would mean political conduct of the material side of war. \Surveys have already been made , production schedules drawn up, ma- chinery devised for the imposition of price fixing, priorities control and licensing of all business. The con- trol of every little detail of our in- dustrial and agricultural life * has al- ready been carefully worked out. The regimenting of American resources- industrial—huinan and natural — would make the war lords of Germ- any and Russia blush for their in- efficiency. I Book Hard to Get 1 \The distribution of' this book which I have referre d to has been quite limited. In f a c t , I under- stand it created' something of\ a panic in official Washirigtoh and that it is difficult to obtain it at the pres- ent time. - I saw a reference to it in one news dispatch . It was reported that official Washington said that the plans revealed last year ' s plans and had since been discarded. \I am frank to say I don 't believe these plans ' have been discarded. If they had been , the book would be circulating freely instead of mysteri- ously withdrawn. I don 't believe that human nature in Washington has changed in the last six months. And no one in this country seriously believes that the power thus delegat- ed to our present federal govern- ment in time of war , would ever he wholly or willingly returned to the people at the end of the war. \Have ycu stopped to think wh at we are asked to do? We who are cognizant of the failure of our gov- ernment to approach a solution of farm problems—of the unemploy- ment situation—of the debt of our nation—we who realize now the co- lossal failure of our government whose ability to solve the ordinary peace time problems of our people has ever been demonstrated , are be- ing asked to entrust to it the lives of our young men , the conduct of all affairs and the future of our na- tion. Does failure in times of peace qualify one for leadership in times of p eril ? \The Vermont Republican plat- form of a year ago was right. We must by all mean s avoid war under the present administration. And yet it is not inconceivable that the United States may become involved in a world wide struggle. Well , the next thing to consider is what we are go- ing to do about it. How are we go- ing, to change the administration ? \At the present time we hav e only two major parties in America , the Democratic and the Republican. The Democratic party is controlled by a small group, whose itch for political power leaves them unresponsive to the loyal voters of a nation and of their own party as well. The Re- publican party \ machinery is still largely in control of those whose itch for financial power has thrown the voters , in desperation , into tlie hands of the New Deal. Two-thirds cf the people of America today ai'e men and women without a party to whom they can give their whole liearte<l allegiance and support. Don 't Want Backward Move | \Go-vernment is merely a political party in power. The people of the United States are praying for a political party that will , truly repre- sent tliem and their desires , so that through this party th ey may attain a govern m en t wliich will retain the basic principals of our democracy and apply them to present day needs. . . \Th<!y don 't wan t to go back to 1909 or 1929. They want a govern - ment that will assume leadershi<p \ refrain from domination aii d -i fiscation. They want a go ' vemn that will ever have in mind'i' mpw values of living with out stifling individual. They want a governn that thinks in ' \terms of people not votes. - \They don 't \ wanf to discard Social Security laws , the Laboi' lations law , ' .. the - Wage-Hour j but they want . these laws to be rn to work proyefl y and fairly. -S< party has the \ opportunity to re] sent this maj ority of the people, hope it will be tlie Republican. \Without the support of lahor agriculture , however , the Repufch party cannoC- ' win. To secure hold the support cf agriculture labor , it must ' make these group ' s that it is their political hom e not simply a rich' man ' s mansioi] which they may flee occasional! , times of storm. \I feel that \ the time is here ' w our party can . make this appeal , it must be made in a sincere man; We must riot appeal to lab o 'r agricultural groups and invite tl into our party ^'ior the simple p'liri of using them ' and th ' eir votes. A gi representing farm and labor is as r/ entitled to a voice and vote in ( Contimied on page 12)
