The new president rapped the "socialistic" trend in the United! States. He said:
"If those who wish to extend the social security to cover every possible human financial problem from the cradle to the grave have it their way, it won't be long until the federal, government will supply all or part of the livelihood of practically everyone in the country.
"The drive for federal compulsory health insurance is a good example of that possibility."
