WILLKIE vs. ROOSEVELI A Campaign Symiposium (Editor's Note: With Jpe presidential campaign entering its final torrid week, political discussions are becoming in- creasingly prevalent. Two conflicting attitudes toward Wendell L. Willkie and Franklin D. Roosevelt are herein presented. Each contributor writes as a private citizen, not as a member of any institution or organization.) WILY I AM FOR WILLKIE By Clare E. Griffin Dean of the School of Business Administration 1. Because I believe in free enter- prise in the economic sphere as the basic and dominating force in Amer- ican society. I believe that Mr. Willkie whole- heartedly accepts this basic principle. Mr. Roosevelt and his New Deal group have by their actions and expressed attitudes left serious doubts in the minds of many people of their ad- herence to it. Both sides agree that regulation is required but Mr. Will- kie makes this freedom of enterprise the cornerstone of his philosophy and would direct regulation to the end of a net increase of this freedom of ac- tion, while the New Dealers (so it seems to me) have in various degrees lost faith in it as the central idea of our society. The big issue of this campaign has to my mind been drawn and it is the age old issue of indi- vidual enterprise versus collectivism. 2. Because I believe that produc- tion is the basis of all prosperity and national strength. This is one of the oldest and most fundamental propositions of econom- ics. It would be equally true under socialism or free enterprise. In this country we rely upon free business enterprise as the directing force to increased production. In my judg- ment the leader of this country should have been hammering home this truth as Mr. Willkie has been doing in the last few months, and he should have been bending every ef- fort to encourage and stimulate pri. vate enterprise to the end that the sum total of goods upon which the prosperity of all of us depends should be increased. Instead we have had clever schemes for reducing production, dividing the proceeds, rearranging the monetary system and other bits of economic leger- demain. One cannot disapprove of each and every one ofdthese efforts viewed by itself but in total they are C E a sorry substitute for a statesmanlike approach to the problem of recovery. What this country needs for indi- vidual prosperity and national strength is "production and more production." 3. Because I believe that there are still tremendous potential powers of economic progress and expansion in this country. The New Dealers generally I be- lieve are disillusioned and somewhat cynical on this point. They allege we have passed our frontiers, we have entered a new stage of economic ma- turity, of a static economy, that our problem is consequently to stabilize Iinstead of to advance, to divide what we have, -to divide a given amount of work by shortening hours, by starting work later in life and stopping ear- lier. This is a defeatist attitude. I believe Mr. Willkie has grasped the vision of America's possibilities and is now inspiring millions of Amer- icans with that faith. Critics call it a vain and naive yearning for the America that has gone. I regard it as the vision of the America that can be. 4. Because I believe that this coun- try needs to regain its national unity. We have been through hard times Mr. Roosevelt, his present opponent was opposing them to the full extent of his ability. 3. Because of the necessity of proven leadership at this critical time. In common with many others who are more concerned with the welfare of the nation than with the fortunes of any candidate or party, I feel that the action of the Republican National Convention in selecting a Democrat as their standard-bearer was a com- plete confession of a lack of leader- ship in their own ranks. If during the past eight years, they have been unable to develop an outstanding contender of universally recognized ability, what assurance may we now have that, in selecting a man pos- sessing no experience in government- al affairs, he will suddenly acquire such qualities? 4. Because of some of the enemies he has made. To a full understanding of this sub- ject it is important to consider that many of those who oppose the Pres- ident so bitterly, and in some cases viciously at the present time, have had that attitude throughout his entire administration. They repre- sent certain types of big business and Stason To Address Turkish Club Dean E. B.

Instead we have had a delib- erate fanning of class hatreds and a fostering of the socialists' concept of the class war. That concept I be- lieve is inconsistent with the concept of a democracy. It is consistent with the concept of the totalitarian state. 5. Because I believe that the tra- ditional check upon perpetuation of power should be maintained. Quite independently of the above points of basic philosophy I disap- prove of a breaking of the two-term tradition. The power of the Presi- dency is greater now than ever be- fore and hence whatever force the arguments against perpetuation of power may have had in Jefferson's time they are of much greater force today. I do not raise the question of the motives of the man who now seeks to break this tradition. He no doubt honestly regards himself as indispensable. But at a time when - both parties agree that Democracy is at stake I cannot approve the re- moval of a safeguard which has, at least heretofore, been regarded as important to the preservation of free government. WHY I AM FOR ROOSEVELT By George J. Burke Local Attorney 1. Because of his attitude on mat- ters of foreign policy. In the judgment of most thought-i ful observers and particularly those who are not swayed by passion or prejudice, Mr. Roosevelt and his capable Secretary of State Hull have furnished a splendid type of leader- ship in the field of International Relationships. Certainly is this no- ticeable in contrast with the vague, uncertain and often contradictory pronouncements of his opponent on this vital subject. 2. Because of the social gains al- ready accomplished. Perhaps the best endorsement that may be given the President's pro- gram of social legislation is that the candidate of the Republican Party has ratified it almost in its entirety. This benign approval comes rather late, however, from a party that was in power during most of the years when the obvious need of it should have been apparent. Incidentally, it may be added, while many of these same measures were being urged by to eye. As a result, the National Labor Relations Act, the Wage and Hour Law, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Rural Electri- fication Plan impinged upon what certain of these classes had consid- ered an interference with their di- vine rights. The fact that such legis- lation has served to furnish the pro- gressive leadership and action that business and finance itself should have furnished, causes those groups who were in practical control of our government from 1920 to 1932 feel that they have lost some of their prerogatives. In my judgment, it is more important in a Democracy that government shall, within reasonable limits, regulate business, than that business shall operate government. 5. Because of the friends that he has made. The restoration to the so-called inarticulate classes of our country of some degree of confidence in the knowledge that their governmentis interested in their welfare, not mere- ly at election time, but between elec- tions, is a reassuring factor in the present desperate world situation. The attitude of these people who, after all, will form an important part of any defensive force in behalf of our National Defense, is of tremen- dous importance. The whole attitude of this administration in connection with aid to education, health service, social security, and other similar measures has, in my judgment, con- vinced the great majority of our peo- ple that this administration has sought "to increase the security and happiness of a larger number of peo- ple in all occupations of life and in all parts of the country." In conclusion, it would seem the part of doubtful wisdom to place the administration of these measures in the hands of an organization and a candidate who have fought them al- most without exception from the be- ginning.
