Lamar Tooze Tells Banquet Meeting
Republican Party Today Stands For
Same Principles as in Lincoln's Day
The republican party of today
stands for the same principles of
truth and honesty that it did in
Lincoln's day, declared Lamar
Tooze, Portland attorney and
party leader who spoke last
night at the 32nd annual ban
quet of the Lincoln club of Jack
son county, and he urged his
listeners to "pick up the torch
which Lincoln held high and
fight for these principles." The
banquet, held at the Elks temple
In Ashland, was attended by
about 160 persons.
Tooze added that the republi
can party was organized to up
hold the rights of the comman
man, and the enslaved man, and
that under the party's leadership
the country grew and prospered.
The coming of the new deal and
"Its strange philosophy" changed
our government to a species of
state socialism and giant bureau
cracy which Is ending Individual
liberty and freedom, Tooze de
clared. Return Needed
The duty of the republican
party is to convince the people
of this country of the necessity
of returning to the principles of
Lincoln, Tooze said, and to show
them that this is possible under
an "honest and liberal" interpre
tation of the constitution, and
without "promises which the
federal government cannot right
fully fulfill.
"The new deal purchased the
people of this country and paid
them with their own money,"
Tooze said. "The new deal pro
ceeds on the premise that Amer

tors in the country."
Enmity Fostered
The republican party recog
nizes the right of the laboring
man to organize and to bargain
collectively, Tooze said, but
charged that under the new deal
labor had been led to believe
that the employer us the natural
enemy of the employee. Lincoln
recognized that the happiness of
the average person depends
largely upon the production of
the nation, Tooze declared, and
said there is no ''inherent con
flict" between labor and man
agement and that there should
be a genuine partnership. "La
bor racketeers depend upon In
dustrial strife for their liveli
hood," he added.
Changes Realised
Republicans further realize
the changes in the international,
social and economic picture,
Tooze said, saying that the party
must sincerely support UNO, but
should work for maintenance of
an adequate army and navy.
This country, while convincing
other nations of our sincerity in
international relations, must at
the same time suffer no appease
ment, Tooze said.
Tooze, veteran of both wars,
was introduced by George Car
ter, retiring president of the so
ciety.

CHINESE RESENT
CONCESSIONS TO
' REDS AT YALTA
Chungking, Feb. 13 (U.R) A
high government source tonight
described the Russian policy in
Manchuria as "completely op
portunist" and said China could
not accept the viewpoint that
Manrhnrian Industries should be
regarded as Soviet war booty.
This government omciai said
conversations were under way
between China and Russia re
garding economic concessions in
Manchuria.
Talks In Progress
(Last week Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Shek revealed that
informal talks were in progress
regarding concessions to Russia
beyond the published terms of
the Sino-Soviet treaty).
He said he believed Japanese
property inside China should be
part of the reparations to China,
but that the problem eventually
must be decided at a peace con
ference with Japan.
Discussing the Russian with
drawal from Manchuria, the gov
ernment official said he was un
able to estimate how many
Soviet troops remained. But he
said the figure 200,000 "can't be
relied upon."
More Concessions
Yesterday another high Chin
ese official, returning to Chung
king from the northeast, ex
pressed doubt that China would
be able to take over Manchuria
from the Russians without mak
ing more concessions to the
Soviets. !
The official said today Soviet
Commissar Viacheslave Molotov
had agreed at the Big Three
foreign ministers' conference
that the Russian withdrawal
would be completed by Feb. 1.
He indicated China never had
asked the Soviets to remain in
Manchuria beyond the original
