George Creel Says Unhappy,
Bewildered Thousands
Ready to Stampede if
Pirty Fails Bring Relief
BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30. AP
Warning that the "unhappy and be
wildered thousands" of California
"will again, and may, stampede" un
ions a progressive program la formu
lated at once to deal with the state's
problems was sounded today by Oeo
Creel, Roosevelt new dealer.
Creel's statement waa made In a
letter to Franela Can of Redding.'
. Cal. prominent In Democratic circle
there. It waa made public today.
The statement appealed to the Demo
cratic party In the state to take the
lead In providing "a rallying point for
liberal opinion." Carr is a member
of the state water commission.
Heed Sinclair Vote
The vote given Upton Sinclair.
"EPIC" candidate for governor in trm
November 6 election, waa described
by Creel as "plainly symptomatic of
bitter dtsaatlsf action with exlttlng
conditions, and must be heeded." Sin
clair was defeated by Acting Governor
Prank P. Merriam. Republlcnn.
In the August primary Creel wan
runner-up to Sinclair for the Demo
cratic nomination. In October, a few
days after he had visited with Pres.
dent Roosevelt at Washington, he vir
tually repudiated Sinclair aa a party
nominee.
Terming the outcome of the elec
tlon "a Sinclair defeat and not I
Merriam victory." Creel said there
also waa agreement and "that Hie
majority vote was In no sense rea.
tlonary. but only the repudiation of
unsound schemes of social reform.
Conditions, Not Communism
"The EPIC vote was plainly symp
tomatic of bitter dissatisfaction with
existing conditions." Creel's letter
continued, "and must be heeded. The
stigmatize Justifiable unrest aa com
munism and to attempt to evade con
sideration of economic Ills and abusen
by framing a red scare Is cruel dis
honest and Incredibly stupid.
"Persistence in thla sort of chicane
will Inevitably stir new agitation, Just
as a continuance of generalizations Is
certain to increase popular distrust.
EPIO gained its following largely be
cause the Republican party In Cali
fornia refused to recogni.se the need
for social reforms. With head burlod
in the sand. Its billowing tall falrly
begged the kicking it received.
Will Mill Agin
"EPIC'S proposals, whatever else
may be thought of them, were con
crete. Unless forecful leadership la de
veloped at once, equally positive but
sanely constructive. California's un
happy and bewildered thousands will
mill again and may stampede.
"The one sure way to cauae unrest
and avert demoralization Is through
some Immediate and definite declara
tion of policy and purpose that will
revive confidence and courage, giving
hope back to the hopeless. A clear,
comprehensive program dealing bold
ly and explicitly with every California
problem,"
Creel said "It la peculiarly proper"
that California Democrats "should
take the lead In formulating a pro
gressive program, and thus provide a
rallying point for liberal opinion. Our
party's head captains the forces of
progress In the United States today,
and It Is also the case that the votes
of registered Democrats elected Mi.
Merrtnm. It is therefore both the
right and the duty of true Domocrats
to file a bill of particulars with the
administration"
,lt rhantr Needed
Creel listed s "first and foremost"
In such a bill that wealth "bear Its
share of the tax burden," Other
points Included:
State Income tax. Increased Inherit

FAITH AS A SEED
OF WEATHERFORD
In speaking from the topic. "Faith
aa a Seed," Bunds morning, Fred
M. Weatherford, pastor of the
Church of the Nazarene, drew hta
text from Matthew 17:30. "Faith as
a Grain of Mustard Beed.M A portion
of his message la as follows:
"The complete text draws an an
alogy between a mustard seed and
a mountain. In this parable Jesus
took the largest obstacle and one of
the smallest active forces to reveal
to us the potent! sll ties uf faith.
"It cannot be that Jesus concerns
Himself merely with size in this par
able. The only part that size plays
Is to teach us that apparent Impos
sibilities may be realized by faith.
"Pslth as a grain of mustard seed"
can demonstrate a greater power
than a mountain. This leads us to
an analysis of the mustard seed, or
itself It Is Impotent helpless, but I

cover that seed. It will demonstrate
what It's harnessed energy can pro

to satisfaction.
The purpose of the bureau was
outlined as providing the following:

"But suppose I say I have no faith

I will eat no greens, or any other
