Convention By WAYNE GUTHRIE City Editor of The News CHICAGO, June 28 (AP) Herbert Hoover, asserting the New Deal in milder form hat followed tactics of European revolutions, told the Republican convention Tuesday night that "only by a change in administration will our returning soldiers find freedom preserved at home." He also declared that President Roosevelt apparently was engaging 'n "power politics and "personal power diplomacy in foreign affairs. This, he asserted, is "not the diplomacy of freedom." "This convention is handing the leadership of the Republican party to a new feneration," the former President and party elder states- man said, and addressed these words particularly to the "younger "You in your own manner can lead our people away from the jungle of disorderly, cynical and bitter ideas, the topsy-turvy confusions, the hopelessness and lack of faith and defeatism that have haunted this nation over these dozen years. "You can lead our nation back to unity of purpose again." "Cant Have Freedom and F. D. In general, Hoover's theme was that this war Is being fought for freedom and It will not be attained at home or in the world if.

there Is a continuation of thex Roosevelt administration domination of foreign policies. He made these principal points: 1. "Any compromise with Hitler or To jo will destroy, all hope of either freedom or a lasting peace. 2. The young people in the CHICAGO, June 23 (AP The text of the speech by Representative Clare Boothe Luce, of Connecticut, to the Republican national convention follows: We have been called together in a time of historic crisis to choose the next President of the United States.

Plainly the honor of speaking to you in this hour so fraught with consequences has come to me because I am a woman. Through one woman's voice our party seeks to honor the millions of American women in war-supporting industries, the millions In Red Cross work and the thousands upon thousands in civil service, in hospital and canteen and volunteer work. Our party honors the women in the armed services and our truly noble Army and Navy nurses. Their courage has written a new chapter for American history books. Above all we honor the Wives and stoters and sweethearts and mothers of our fighting men.

The morale of the home front has been largely in their keeping. They have kept it to the hlght of the morale on the battle fronts. And yet, I know and you know that American women do not wish their praises sung as women any more than they wish political pleas made to them as women. They feel no differently from men about the ever-growing threats to good government. They feel no differently about the inefficiency, abusiyeness, evasion, self-seeking and personal vhim In the management of the nation's business, which are little by little distorting our democracy Into a dictatorial bumbledom.

And certainly they feel no differently about pressing this war to the enemy's innermost gates, or creating from the sicko I CHICAGO, June 28. Tickets, tickets, tickets. That's what every one iff seeking tickets to the G. O. P.

Jim knew that Washing armed services want, most of all, freedom when they return from the war "They want to be free to choose their own Jobs and not be ordered to them by a bureaucrat." 3. Under the New Deal, there has been a progressive degeneration of freedom in America. "Has not every distress, overy sorrow, every fear of the people been used to further fasten some part of these totalitarian practices upon us?" he asked. 4. Freedom can be regenerated in this country but it means the "hard task" of actions to "build self-reliance, stimulate in-itiative and thereby create men and women of energy, of dignity and of independence." "The easiest task of government," he said, "is to suppress individuals, subject them to bureaucracy and subsidize them to lean on government or a political party.

If a government has enough power, it can always do that" 5. "We are faced already with the gigantic problems of making a peace where freedom can live."

We are come together here to nominate a President who wilij make sure that Jim's sacrifice shall not prove useless in the years that lie ahead.

If you asked him today what he wants of the future, he would probably say, "I want to go home, of course.

But I want to go home by way of Berlin and Tokyo." And this tremendous and heroic want of Joe's to sail into the roadsteads of Yokohama, and march by the waters of the Rhine, is alone a greater guarantee of the future security of our nation than any guaranty we can offer. This is Joe's gift, beyond price, to America. We have come together to nominate a President who will jealously and prayerfully guard that gift all his years in office.
