G.0.P.OFFARWEST/ INDETS NEW DEAL Restate Principles of Bal- anced Budget and Cut in Cost of Government. By the Associated Press. OAKLAND, Calif, October 7.— After deliberating three days as A‘ self-constituted grand jury, Western Republicans planned today to prose- cute the 1936 campaign on an “indict- ment” of the Roosevelt New Deal. The “indictment” was the central action of a group of enthusiastic dele- gates from 11 Far West states who ended the week end rally here yes- terday. At the same time the Westerners | 1ssued a restatement of party princi- | ples that included a balanced budget | and reduction in the cost of govern- ment. Drawing almost as much attention as the “indictment” and party tenets, however, were two ranking Repub- lican personalities, one present in per- son, the other by proxy. Hoover Is Applauded. Former President Hoover, titular head of the party, denounced the | present administration in scathing | language that caused his 1,500 hear- | ers to burst into frequent applause. The name of Alf M. Landon, budget balancing governor of Kansas, once more was brought before the Nation as likely to draw considerable support | at the nominating convention. | The “indictment of the New Deal” approved by the delegates included charges that: Representative govern- ment was being destroyed “by usurpa- tion of legislative powers,” by attacks on the Supreme Court and by propa- ganda; that an “orgy of spending” was endangering the youth of the country with the future burden of taxation: that the principles of the Democratic platform had been re- pudiated; that “the greatest national debt In history” and “juggling” the dollar were impairing national credit; that industrial unrest and subversive activity had been increased by recog- nition of a nation (apparently Russia) “whose principles call for the over- throw of representative government™; that “persons known to be antagonistic to the American form of government” had been placed in high office, and | that private initiative had been “throt- tled.” Condemn Farm Policy. The indictment also included con- demnation of the Roosevelt farm policy, which was declared to have lost foreign markets for American | products and to have caused food prices to increase to “almost pro- hibitive levels.” A balanced budget and “restoration™ of the balance between legislative, executive and judicial branches of | the Government were at the head | of the declaration of principles | Many items in the “indictment™ of | the New Deal followed along lines of Mr. Hoover's speech, which contained the most caustic criticism he has | directed at the administration. The former Chief Executive lashed particularly at the New Deal's spend- ing program, its unbalanced budget | and the mounting public debt. | Fred Seaton of Manhattan, Kans. chairman of the Kansas Young Re- publicans, read a letter from Gov. Landon, which said ‘“extravagance and waste in public spending threat- ened the Nation with destruction.” — FIREMEN WILL PLAN ‘ CONVENTION PROGRAM Executive Committeemen of Mont- gomery Association to Meet Tomorrow.
