Change Is Forecast By Knox In California Visit
Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher, told California GOP leaders that a Republican President would take office in 1937 on a platform opposing planned economy. He contrasted it with a competitive philosophy of the U.S. Constitution. He named defense of the constitution, a balanced budget, a stabilized currency, and a sound farm policy as key 1937 campaign issues. Knox denied ambitions for the nomination, noted business improvement uneven due to planned economy experiments, and credited the NRA decision and world economic recovery for gains. He planned trips to the East and South after visiting Los Angeles and San Francisco.
