AN AMERicAN CREED During the speciat sessi on oi congress tast -,,motith a nio-"potitical address tO, the people of the United States ivas writteîr by Democra.ticý an Rpbia mmer'of the senate, and pre- setcd as, a guide to future ýgoverinnental action. It is a creed to which wc believe everv Ainierican cati subscribe. Its dectlaration of principles is, reprinted herewith. in full: 1. The capital gains tai and the undistiibuted profits tax ought thorloughlv,% to be revi-sed at olwe without reducing revenueso as to free funde. foi- *inivestmentand proniote the normial.tfiow of satvings' Into profitable and productive u., e, not for the sake of capital, but for the consecluences !il expanding business, larger-empioyement and il more active con- sumner demand for kgoods.. 2.. Steady approachnmust be ruade towari.a balance *of the public revenue with the publice xpenditure, a balanced national budget, tiid*,anii nd of those( fear's wh4ech deter invesýtrent. The publie credit must be preserved or ilothing else inatters. To undermine lU le to defeat recovery; todestroy the people up on lnfiationary high llv.ing cot;and particularly to ruin those of our peopie who are on relief. There le nothing but. a sound public credit between them and- disaster,' because they have no other reliance for theit' subsistence. * ý This means reduced publie exIpehditure at, every. point, practicable. We muet have certainty of taxa- tion and stability of the currency and of credit. Before increasîng taxes or broadening the hase, 'we would exbaust the resources of ;an intelligent a-p- plication of economiy. We intend that a consistent progress toward a balanced budget s;hall be made- s0 consistent that none mnay question the coneum- t mation in due sea.son. It muet be a paramount objective, since it underlies certalnt3', ,etabilty and *confidence. 3. We propose mest relation., between Capital and Labor, and we seek an end at once of a irietion, eflgendered by more favorable c-ondition, . that now serves none but injures ail. We advise that gove(-rn- ment take a hand onlY as a last resort, and lft te must, that it shall be Impartia¶r. We insist aypon the constitutional guarantees of the rights of persont) *arid of property-the right of the worker to* work, of the, owner to possession, and of every mari to enjoy In peace the fruits of his labor.l:-" 1The maintenance of law and order is fundamiental.
