Gridders Register a Big Kick for Harvard National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart N ational Prcaa B ulldlnir W aahlnaton, D. C, Washington.—There is much talk among the Republicans, both (or and against, con- G. O. P. cerning the pro- Conference P ° sa l to hold a general party con ference early next year. The plan projected would bring together dele gates from every state Just the same as the convention that is held every (our years (or nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates and formulation o( party policies through adoption of a cam paign platform. The question has many angles and in consequence many pros and cons already have been advanced. In natural consequence also, some very well-known Republicans have taken definite decisions, either for or against the plan which has the ap proval of men like John Hamilton, chairman of the Republican national committee, and former President Herbert Hoover. Some very splen did men find themselves honestly In opposition and have said so in un equivocal terms. The issue will be fought out at a meeting of the national committee early in November and probably there will be such a convention early in 1938. As I have said, there is argument on both sides but after discussing the situation with many Republi cans, it appears to me that the ad vantages outweigh the disadvan tages. I say this from the stand point of the country at large. Many times in these columns, I have expressed the conviction that a strong minority party, whether that party be Republican or Demo cratic, is a very healthy condition for the country as a whole. A po litical party with too great a ma jority is likely to run away with itself and do many unsound things. We have had proof of this during the Roosevelt administration and we had proof of it during the adminis trations of the late President Har ding anti President Coolidge when Republicans had too many members of the house and the senate and the Democratic minority was impotent. I cannot speak from a Republi can standpoint any more than I can speak from a Democratic stand point. Nevertheless, from the posi tion I attempt to follow as an ob server of national affairs and long range national policies, it does seem that the Republicans ought to quit fighting among themselves and get together to oppose that which the present minority in this country finds objectionable in President Roosevelt’s policies. They ought to determine on a set of principles and stick to them. It is their obli gation and if they fall to fulfill that obligation, it seems to me they had best disband, get rid of those who attempt to be leaders in the Repub lican party and let somebody else organize the minority faction in the United States—and It is to be re membered that even in the last elec tion there were almost 16,000,000 Re publican voters. In advocating this action, I am not motivated as much by my belief in and support of some of Mr. Roosevelt's policies as I am in my disagreement with others of the pro gram to whi-o the New Dealer has adhered. A strong and vocal minority will Insure the retention of rights and powers in the hands of the people where they belong and at the same time it will compel Democrats to stick together in carrying out sound policies proposed by the President. That latter statement may sound paradoxical. I think it is not. I make the statement because I know how many times the gigantic Demo cratic majority In congress has fought ovei trivialities and because 1 know how many times sincere op position to unsound policies has met with defeat without the country knowing the reasons for that oppo sition. Taken all in all, therefore, 1 be lieve it is an obligation upon me as an observer of national affairs to declare In favor of a movement by the minority party that will result In a concentration of Its power tor the good of the nation. And what, one may ask. should be the creed of the minority party next year? Well, as 1 see the picture, the Re publican party must be the conserv- .... . »live party in W hat of the United SU tes. (As C reed? President Roose velt and his New Dealers cannot avoid being the rad ical party. I have said this many times In these columns and It la more evident now even than when I reported upon the situation earlier. The conservatives can and should have a voice In their government even If It la only an oppoaition voice that conatitutes a balance-wheel. Proceeding from that premlae, therefore, there can be little argu ment thet the principlea which the Republicans advocaU should be drawn from principlea of govern mental policies that have proved sound. That is to say, the Repub licans cannot afford to atUck Mr. .Booeevelt on everything he has done, but they can tear him po litically limb from limb with con structive proposals to take the place of those things he has done which represent discouragement, deceit and disaster to the country’s eco nomic life. There will be no gain for the Re publicans in 1938 elections if they at tempt to ride two or three different horses as they did in 1936. For ex ample. they cannot do as Candidate Landon did, to wit, call for a bal anced budget in one speech and ad vocate being Santa Claus in anoth er; they cannot blow hot and cold, and, therefore, they must be either conservative or radical. It seems to me the Republicans &m i i can probably plan for an immediate balancing of the national budget In A few of the members of Harvard’s 1937 football squad pictured during a recent workout at Cambridge. that connection, they can with justi as they registered a mighty kick in unison for their alma mater.
