A certain small ‘group of men attacked the problem. And after months of arduous toil (it | may have seemed awfully long at the | time) they worked out & program of | That law is still | | legislative reform. in effect with only slight modifica, | tions. The same basic law has bee | adopted by many other States. Twenty-five years later our country | was struck by the greatest depression in the memory of living man. Those | insurance companies, Incorporated in States which had drafted similar laws, represented the one investment of the average man that stood up. Hughes' Recommendations | Stood Test of Time and Stress. There is one man in the United States to whom we can be thankful as much as to any one else for this great plece of social legisiation that stood the test of a generation, and that man is Mr. Charles Evans Hughes. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. It was Chief Justice Hughes, heading an investi- gation, who made recommendations from which our sound insurance policy | was built. ‘ Bul there | which our is another tradition In constitutional form of which holds that when & man is to be appointed to an im- | portant, non-elective office he shall be submitted to the scrutiny and white light of public hearings. The spirit of our Constitution, like our marriage | ceremony, be appointed to a public office, “let him come forwa. and speak.” I am referring to Justice Hugo Black. | I think it is fitting to refer to this because it is another case in which constitutional rocedure was ignored. There was & demand for public hear- ing, not only on the part of private citizens, but by United States Senator But the administration u d all its mighty power to prevent such public | hearings—to prevent the operation of | our constitutional methods of govern= ment, Now, regardless of what side you | take in this case, 1 believe every one agrees that il the Constitution had been followed, all of the information | concerning Mr. Black would have been presented to L American public before Mr. Black was confirmed. This is one of the important incidents to which I referred. L think it illus- | trates “graphically that the Consti- | tution does work when you give it & chance to work. Impulsive Quarter-Backing May L'~ America Into War. And now I come to the second point of tremendous importance to our country, the second point which I said /I wanted to discuss with you this evening. I have pointed out the lag in social orogress which has been caused by failure to follow the spirit of our Constitution. These mistakes have been costly. They have set us back repeatedly, but they can be corrected. Now, however, we are faced with a situation where he may make a mistake | that would j leed be tragic, that | might lead to war. The President’s impulsive quarter-backing, his readi- ness to assume the responsibility of a one-man government in international | affairs, is far more dan;.rous than | the same tendencies in dealing with | domestic matters, | Rightly may ask the question the world is asking: How far does he | intend to go? In a recent declaration of his inter- national policy, Mr. Roosevelt said | that 1f the rest of the world is at war, quote, “Let no one imagine America can escape peacefull He spoke of quarantines, which mean either economic sanclions or blockade, Our experience with Italy has proven the inefectiveness of eco- nomic sanctions, and blockade means war. The statement that America | cannot escape peacefully when rest of the world is at war sounds Just like what we were told in 1917. v, states tl. t if any one has | | reason to show why = man should not | the | Congress adopted a neutrality act at the last session. The President took it upon himself to repeal the princi- ple of the act. Now the job for the Congress will be to decide whether the President’s own policy is to be fol- lowed or whether we are to adhere to the policies which the last Congress adopted. : Ample Time Allowed For Test of Novel Theories. I am not surprised that the Ameri- can people have been willing to grasp | at anything that might appear to be new and different. We must remem- ber that it is hard to think straight on an empty stomach. We must re- member that when you are cold and hungry and you don't know where your next meal is coming from, vou | can’t become very much interested in abstract principles of government. But | now we have had ample time to find | out how some of the new theories are | | working out. We have had time ‘o[ | appreciate that social progress would | | have been years ahead today if we had | | followed constitutional methods dur- | but it must also be conceded that his order to gain additional things we want. During the first few months of Mr. Roosevelt’s administration, he awak- ened a new social consciousness. I was in sincere sympathy and agree- went with many of the purposes set forth. But now I must say something that I regret to admit. Mr. Roosevell is » changed man. He is not the man who was elected in 1832. It is apparent that Mr. Roosevelt is going through the same process that transpired in the life of every man in history who was given too much power. Power feeds on power—today, just as it did in the days of Julius Caesar. And while I feel that Mr. Roosevelt should be given every honor that is due him, the time has come when we must change our methods in Wash- ington. Every fair-minded man must concede that many of the questions Mr. Roosevelt has asked are proper, answers don't work. Wasted 1937 Session In Fight for More Power. ‘When Congress convened in the last session, there were mnay important pieces of legislation pressing for en- actment. But what did Mr. Roosevelt ing the last four and one-half years. | | 1 do not believe in the Constitution | | because I think it is sacred. I rev-| erence it because it is so intensely | practical—because it works when you | give it a chance to work. We have heard too much lately | about liberty and freedom as some- thing belonging to the mind and to the soul. Liberty and freedom, after all. are merely means to an end. The four great scourges of the aver- age man are unemployment, sickness, accident and penniless old age. Un- less liberty and freedom can help us | overcome them, liberty and freedom | are nothing but empty phrases. Liberty and Freedo.. Must Mean Something Tangible. The liberty and freedom for which | | our forefathers fought meant some-.| thing concrete, tangible and immedi- | ately beneficial. ‘voday it must mean | something just as definite tc us it we are to fight for its preservation. | Liberty and freedom should enable | il who want to work to get good jobs at good wages. Liberty and freedom | should mean that men and women | have decent hours of work and satis- | factory working conditions. Liberty | and freedom should mesn that & man have leisure to spend with his wife and children and the right to| an vid age of peace and comfort. Freedom must mean that with reason- able effort & man can .cquire these | things as a matter of right and not | because some kind-hearted employer | do? He wasted practically the entire session of Congress of 1937 fighting to get more power for himself. Now the President has just called a special session of Congress. In making his snnouncement, he outlined com- mendable purposes. We all agree with them. That makes il unanimous again. but, how is he going to achieve them First, of course, he asks for more powe His Government reorganization bill, regardless of what he has said about it, has for its main purpose the placing It would also place the semi-judicial commissions under the control of the Executive. It will precipitate another controversy just as important as that which occurred in regard to the Su- preme Court, because once again he strikes at the very heart of constitu- tional representative Government. 1 haye pointed out to you the dif- ferent ways in which our President has violated the letter and spirit of the Constitution. I have proven to you in each case our country unmis- takably would have been better off if he had followed the Constitution. From this there can be,only one con- clusion: If we are to go forward from here, it must be under the practical of that great document. Mr. of practically every Federal employe under the thumb of the President, to be hired and fired- at his dis lis willing to let him have them. | “ Liberty and freedom should mean | a fair distribution of the rewards of | production and should prevent an| unhealthy concentration of wealth and economic power in individual hands or government. Liberty and freedom shoi mean thul i« man may have the opportunity to acquire pos- | | sessions of his own, busines. of his | own, and that the corner grocer or | the little factory worker will not be | discriminated against, eith.r by great | privileged competitors or’ by govern- ment. Liberty and freedom should | mean the right to a fair earn. g| | power £nd a decent standard of living | | to the farmer. Liberty and freedom | | should mean the right to support a | | government which provides the op-/ | portunity to happiness and economic | | security an the free choi to criti-| | cize or oppose it if & man does not agree with it. And, of course, libe; | and freedom must mean the 0ppoi | tunity to worship as one's conscience dictates, and the right to a fair trial. | | Republican Party . ands | | For Constitutional Solutions. | This i5 the kinC of liberty and free- | dom thet vou and I an. the Re-| publican party of today stand for. | If our party did not stand for these | things you and I would nol want to| | be Republicans. | But there is one dditional feature {hat distinguishes us.

As long as he uses lack of power as an aiibi, we will never make any real progress. Mistakes Results From Too Much Power. Most of the mistakes he has made have been made because he has been given too much power. What he really needs is less power—a position that will force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both par- ties—men whose hearts also av¢ in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know By the time the special session of | competent and unable to solve our | Cougress convenes it iz o be hoped | own problems.
