THE REAL STORY
With the campaign beginning to get underway and
various and sundry charges being hurled abroad in the
land, it is well now and then to examine the general pic
ture and keep the fundamental issues straight. A rath
er clear picture was given by James A Farley, Chair
man of the Democratic Natione' Committee, recently,
when he said:
Traditionally, the minority party is compelled to make a
campaign. If it hasn’t got a real candidate to put forward,
it will put forward a straw man. And if it has no issues of
its own, it must do what it can by calling names and viewing
everything with alarm.
The Republican National Committee, which has organized
a finance committee bristling with the names of chiefs of
huge corporations and others synonmous with great wealth,
may present reports of modest collections and modest expen
ditures. But working with the Republican organization are
a dozen agencies whose campaign expenditures do not figure
in Mr. Fletcher’s reports; that multi-millionaires’ club, mis
named the Liberty League, is only one example of the agen
cies that are pouring out money to break down Roosevelt,
interspersing with typo-critical claims of non-partisanship.
There is nothirg new in this situation. Our adversaries
have invariably had the support of those men and those en
terprises which have fought the aspirations of the common
man and which has never been concerned with anything be
yond the unfair privileges they were accorded by subserv
ent Republican administrations. That situation dragged us
into the panic period out of which the leadership of Presi
dent Roosevelt has been successfully extricating us.
Because the present Administration is seeking not only to
restore prosperity but to prevent the recurrence of such dis
asters as the Hoover panic, the Administration’s enemies
have been clamoring that it is against business. Nothing
could be sillier than that statement. Everybody knows that
the success of any administration must be coupled with
business prosperity.
It is not against business that the President has been tilt
ing. The legislation he sought was aimed not at industry,
but at the abuses being practiced by un.cruplous individuals
and combinations whose monopolistic activities were ruth
lessly directed to the exploitation of the people and the
de'rudi n of their small competitors. You do not need to
take my word for that. If you look up the statistics you
will find tha! even luring the boom years that led up to the
crash of !i)2:)there were ten times as many business failures
than thi r have been -ince the advent of the Roosevelt Ad
ministrali i. During the depression period, of course, there
were many mote. I do nit include among these the crash
of banks.
The Big Business fellows and the Republican organization
through which they work are unable to di-pute the facts of
recovery. So they declare il is “in spite of '.lie New Deal”
but they make no explanation of that cryptic statement. If
it was not the efforts of theAdministration and resulting
legislation that brought about the promising results, what
was it? Would they say the measures of prosperity we have
obtained is due to their efforts to defeat the bill aimed at
elimination of parasite holding companies which have milk
ed the eperating utility companies and compelled extortion
ate rates on light, power and heat? Was it in spite of the
correction of the banking inquities, the insurance of deposits,
the social security legislation, the act which safeguards
stocks and bonds, the salvation of two million urban and
farm homes, the restoration of farm purchasing power and
the many measures akin to these? Was it the resurrection of
Herbert Hoover and the indication of his willingness to ac
cept another White House term that heartened the people
and lifted business out of the red?
Where we were in March 1933, and where we are now tells
the real story.—Exchange.
