Halleck Assails Truman Over Statism Charge
Rep. Charles A. Halleck accused President Truman of seeking to install statism in the United States. Speaking to the New England Council of Young Republicans in Newport Rhode Island, Halleck claimed a high government faction aims to replace opportunity with statism, likening it to communism and fascism and warning of heavy government costs and rising dependence on the state. He warned that since 1933 pro statism elements have infiltrated Washington, making the president the chief carrier of these doctrines.
