09638 I aspectally call upon the loyal Democrats of this nation to realize at lon; last thet they have no party in Washington. And that the only way they can regain control of that once great political narty and scrub and flush and wish clean the foul mese of Communism and corruption in Washington is te elect General Eisenhower and give him a Republican Senate and Republican Howse. Over the past weeks you have heard over and over like a broken record the admonitions of the Acheson, Truman, Stevenson team, "Vote for us because you ain't ever had it so good." And when General Eisenhower axpos the fact that the Dencerats were asking for votes on the basis of war prosperity, Stevenson bled and screamed that this was helping Moscow. Strange reaconing indeed. Let's examine this campaign slogan of the Truman, Acheson, Stevenson camp. "You ain't ever had it so good.” I hold in my hand an issue of the C.I,0. Nevc, and no one has ever claimed that this/a Republican propazanda sheet. The date is significant — April 17, 1950. Just two months and two weexs before the Korean wor.

"The unenmloyment figure is about a million higher than it waa e yecr avo and about two million higher than two years ago « « « . » « “Ané there's nothing at present to indicate that the situation will impreve noticeably in the future." With unercloyment increasing according to one of the great labor organiza- tions at the rate of ane million per year —- it meant that we were heading into anoth-r depression. Well, then what happened? About that time, Acheson made his famous, or ahould I say INfamous public statement that South Korea lies outside our line of defense. That we will not fight if the Commmists decide to take over South Korea. This was most fantastic — a most unbelievable invitation for the Communists to move into South Korea. When the Commmiats accepted the invitation two months leter, however, we landed our fighting men in Kerea, and have since been engezing in war in one of the most unfavorable spots on Earth from the standpoint of our winning a decisive victory. Add these three things together my friends. They are not accidental. Number one — 10 to 12 million fully or _ Partially unemployed. Number two -- Acheson says to the Communists, "Come on boys, take over South Korea -—— we won't fight you." Number threa — 7 G2- 96332-3531 ce EET ce UE ae ee ARTE TERY
