Gridders Register a Big Kick for Harvard
National Topics Interpreted

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-

(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

Landon did, to wit, call for a bal
