Hearst Proposals For National Reform And Defense Policy
The Hearst papers advocate a national reform program including direct presidential election by national popular vote, abolition of the electoral college, immediate installation of president and congress after elections, and a unified military under a national defense secretary. They call for vigorous federal action in education to reduce literacy, a five billion dollar public works loan to cut unemployment, selective immigration, deportation of undesired aliens, and extended citizenship timelines. A calendar year of thirteen months and a five day week are proposed to create jobs and improve labor conditions.
