If it is going to be a party of "middleâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"roaders", it ought to defend that decision. It ought to do almost anything except not much of anything. There are enough conservatives, "right wing progressives" and undecided nonâ€"voters in this country to outweigh all the votes that wild promises can buy. They lack nothing but organized leadership. We‘d like to see the Republican party furnish that leadership.

Certainly the Republitan‘ party needs issues as badly as it needs real leaders who believe in the issues they talk about. Many of those who have been moved to comment have been bitter, sarcastic, ironic or just plain disâ€" gusted. None that we have seen have taken note of the unspoken portion of the sentence. We believe that the unspoken portion of the President‘s stateâ€" ment would have given his hearers to understand that he meant that raising taxes is the only way to meet government expenses as long as the government is being operated on its present basis, and that, further, there is really no other way to operate it. _ Much comment has been evoked by the Presiâ€" dent‘s statement to the effect that if there is any way to meet operating expenses of the government other than raising taxes, he would like to know what it is. e HOW?
