Smith Ir @ speech here last night. He de. iclared that according to his idea, the Harding and Coolidge regimes | had been as “wasteful as any coun- 3 8 has ever seen.” He declared they attempted to give away our | natural resources; they have post- iponed and neglectzd tho most | pressing needs. The Democratic Pre s idential | nominge explained there were | three pictures he desired to place \before the country. One, he said, was what the Re- publican Party would like to have the American people believe it is yshowing great efficiency and econ. {omy in administration, 5 Real Facts The second was a picture “set. ting up the real facts which shows the Government is costing more this y«-ur than when Coolidge took |offic The thirl | ¢I< clared, lack of picture, the Governor disclosed “Republican business methods.” The Governor contended the Re. publicans were lacking an issue and therefore attempted to put hands of the people what idge economy and regarded this as the misrepresentation” so is t 1 ( rmed clared he rossost far made Hoover’s Share Further, he said, Hoover had a | “large share in painting this false | picture when in his speech of ac- ceptance he said that by “vigorous economy the _Federal expunses have been reduced by two billion dollars per annum,” rting that ‘no more misleading statement could be made in this campaign.” | Gov pith added that Hoover | “knows better or should know better. He should know that a two billion dollar reduction is the ifference between pes time cost of government and war time cost. In the real picture let me call attention to the fact that two ' billion, six hundred million !dollars of assets acquired during the Wilson Administration for the | purpose of progressing the war ywere turned into cash in peace |time by the succeeding Republican | Administrations and no credit is l;:i\'(--n to the Wilson side of tho ledger.” HUN(,ARIANS FEAR SOVIET HOLY WAR - AGAINST EUROPE gary had been w rn Burope, standing the Tartar invasion in the thirteenth century and the Turkish invasion later. “Hungary is still an important rampart,” he said, referring to the danger he saw in Russian arma- ments, “The task of protecting western civilization continues.” The qualities which had enabled Hungary to withstand invasions In the past, he continued, were a ¢a. pacity for political organization and the early adoption of western civilization. At the beginning of the 16th century the Hungarian people adapted themselves to the conception of public law at a time when other European states had founded their governments on the. principal of private law and were ' consequently divided by the exis- tence of many types of laws, 4 a “rampart” for he said, with.
