In less than six years under repub
lican national administration of
its political affairs, the United
States has attained a level of na
tional prosperity never before ex
perienced by any people, Herbert
Hoover, secretary of . commerce,
said In a speech here tonight - He
spoke in behalf ot two candidates
for reelection to the IT. S. senate.
Senator. James W. Wfcdsworth, of
New v Yorki and Senator William
B. Butler of Massachusetts.
The nation has recuperated
from a great war with tiexarapled
speed. . Mr. Hoover declared. It
has aided stricken nations to re
covery, it has -nearly abolished
poverty, and has embarked upon
the - education of its children by
unparalleled, experience. .
Without' denying major credit
to the spirit, energy and traditions
of America's population at large,
Mr . Hoover Rakl that much of it
should go ' to . display of govern
mental courage and wisdom by
the .republican presidents, con
gresses, and cabinets who have
exereised authority, since 1921.
- Asserting ithat 4after the war
there was a demand throughout
thewftrldV that governments. CQn1

the secretary said such . a course
meant the adoption of a "creeping
state , of socialism against which
the republican party had turned
its face to; begin to "unlock the
fetters which- from necessity - in
time of war we; had fastened on f
individual enterprise and oppor
tunity." This policy,' he said, had fig
ured largely in the forward move
ment Of the American people
while the test of the world' had
halted or Ten gone backward. : :
"The republican party," he con
tinued, "holds to the protection
of public interest by the .regula
tion of private enterprises In, pub
lie utilities it does not believe
in the deadening hand of opera
tion by government bureaucracy.
The republican party has .chal
lenged socialism with a new. 20th

and we are ready to compare six
years experience, in recovery and
prosperity, .! with every", country
which has, been Infected, with these
