I will say this: It is difficult to avoid the feeling that these specific programs do appear Important in an election year. I am willing to leave it to the good judgment of the American people as to which party. the Democratic Party or the Grand Old Party. is more desirous of providing assistance for schools. assistance for older people. raising the minimum wage. as we did 10 cents above what was asked last time. area redevelopment. which has been vetoed. liberalizing the immigration laws. and measures generally in the conservation field. I am willing to leave that to the instinctive judgment of the American people. because I think their memory is not so short but what they can remember the slogans. "Stand Pat With McKinley." and "Stay Cool With Coolidge." Now it is "No New Starts." I think this message departs from that philosophy somewhat. If the President is really sincere and genuine in his statement that he wants some of these measures passed. it comes late. after 7 years and 7 months. but we are going to pass as many of them as is possible and perform our duty to the American people.
