Stassen Outlines Six Point Campaign in Chicago Speech
Harold E. Stassen, campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, spoke in Chicago outlining a six point program. He urged tax cuts, restored consumer credit controls, a public works plan to deploy when unemployment rises, measures to curb high prices, continued income for family farms, and government action against price-boosting monopolies. He also supports balancing power between profit seeking capital and free organized labor under Taft Hartley. The plan faces flaws, notably tensions between price support and farm income, yet overall the proposals seem reasonable and campaign material.
