TIONAL REPRESENTATIVES h Avenue Bld tle, Wash, Alaska Newspapers, 1411 HOW TIMES CHANGE Well, the Republicans have picked Dewey and to lead the G. O. P. shout against bureaucra ful spending and consequently higher taxes, and in a few weeks the Democrats will be shouting “Don’t Change Horses in the Middle of the Stream.” It is interesting to mnote, after reading accounts of speeches by Dewey, Bricker and the rest the similar- ity between their remarks and those of the man they are out to defeat, excerpts from campaign speeches made in 1932 by Franklin D. Roosevelt “I accuse the present (Hoover) administration of the greatest spending administration . in all C history. One which has piled Bureau on Bureau Commis Bureaus and Bureaucrats have been retained at the expense of the taxpayer,” Roosevelt said in Sioux City September, 1932 Substitute Hoover for Roosevelt today and put the words in Dewey’s mouth Another 1932 Roosevelt campaign argument, de- livered in Brooklyn in November of that year: “The people in America demand a reduction of Federal expenditure It be. accomplished by reducing the expenditures of existing departments; by abolishing useless Commissions, Bureaus and functions, consolidating activities of Government Perhaps it could have been done this way.

For three long years 1 have been going up and down this country preach- ing that Government—Federal and State and local— costs too much. T shall not stop that preaching.” However, on the other side of the fence, we are amused at the blasts which now come forth against the “power in Washington.” Amused not because we do not agree with the critics of the bureau system of government, but for cther reasons Some of those who now are hitting severely at the ursurping of State and local rights by the Federal Government were very quiet in the days of the be- ginnings. Take the record of the WPA. Here was certainly extension of Federal authority, spending of vast sums of Federal money, creation of higher taxes growing until Washington was paving city streets, repairing county courthouses and schools, painting the sheriff’s office every nook and cranny of the country. As we remember, there was very little hue and cry in those days- nly if the WPA was spending too in much money in blank county, and not enough in x | county next doar. At that time the States were only too willing to hirk local responsibility, unemployment *problems—to the buck to Washington and shrug aside local sponsibility. This attitude explains as well as any- thing else the increasing concentration of power in the Federal government. The States cannot very well have it both ways at once. They can assume their local responsibilities— | which they are crying out for today—or go along as is. DA Let Them Vote On It (Cincinnati Enquirer) The danger that prohibition elements again will succeed in making a large part of the United States dry, while millions of soldiers, and sailors are out of the country, was stressed by a unit of the American Federation of Labor, meeting recently in Milwaukee. A resolution opposing further spread of prohibition | pending the conclusion of the war and the return of | the fighting men, noted that already almost one-third | of the country’s 3,070 counties have been voted dry, |and that efforts are being made to expand the arid territory. It was pointed out that observers, familiar with the feelings of men overseas, know the lads in service | are opposed to any attempt to renew prohibition. A recent editorial in the service newspaper, Stars and ripes warned against any attempt to foist another noble experiment’ on the land, either locally or na- tionally, until the boys had returned and were given an opportunity to expréss their sentiments. We are fully in sympathy with these views. earlier attempts to legislate liquor out of the land was a hopeless failure, resulted in great and damaging waves of crime, was costly to revoke even after its ineffectiveness had been fully proved. We do not believe that, even under present circumstances, a majority of the people favor this sort of legislation. We are absolutely certain, that if votes are delayed until the military men return, any effort to expand | prohibition will fail. condition brought on by the war, even know if I had the support of‘ don't like the 90 percent of the Soviet people. !How can he, sitting in London, say that he has the support of 90 percent of the people of Poland? “Mikolajeyk he “shouldn’t belicve the fairy tales his inteuigence tells him.” (Editor s Nowe -A second and con- cluding column on the Stalin in- after Professor complaint he had arranged sievska, head of of Polish the living condit- Russia, Wasilievska nditions now per- Premier's ideas on and post-war collaboration, appear omor ) (Copyright, 1944, Feature Syndica .- sian ecs should share by United te, Inc.)
