Big Interests Combine To
Defeat Roosevelt Program
Considerable misunderstand
ing appear? locally regarding
the so-called American Liberty
League, concerning w h i c h
much has been heard lately in
radio broadcasts and pre s re
ports.
The new organization, head
ed by Jouett Shouse a? chair
man, represents an organized
effort to amalgamate the forc
es cf finance and big business
in opposition to the methods, if
not the spirit, of the Presi
dent’-: recovery program. Con
cealed behind a patriotic title,
it plans to marshal into an
aggresdve host all interests
which seek to escape from the
restrictive and compelling in
fluences of the NRA and other
government agencies designed
Lr\ 1 i+Un « o f J ' « nuf 'fvf +V10 rlo_
pression by directing and to
-:ome extent controlling the op
erations of industry and fi
nace. It is not in a true sense
a new political party.
As described by one of its
spokesmen, who by the way is
an outstanding mouthpiece of
Big Business-, the object of the
League is to “safeguard Amer
ican institutions, protect prop
el ty, preserve individual liber
ty and encourage individual
initiative and enterprise.”
American business men, he
rays, have become “so alarmen
at the way things are going
and threatening to go that
they feel they should assert
themselves to prevent disaster.
In o ther words, it is an eiifort
to “come back” on the part of
those “rugged individualists”
whose exploitations of ihe nat
ion and its people under the,
to them, r-acred and benefi
cent regimes of Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover brought the
country to the very brink of
indu trial and social collapse;
and who undertook no defi-;
ni.e effort to prevent it except
by handing out hundreds of
millions of near destitute tax-;
payers’ money to great corpor
ations, leaving the said tax
payers to starve and be!
damned.
This gentry, comprising th-at
“three per cent of us who sup
port the res',” so significantly
referred to by their patron
saint, Andrew Mellon, now
wish to climb back into ithe
saddle and resume their form
er career of rapacity and
plunder, now that Roosevelt
has cleared up somewhat the
mess they made and restored
a reasonable measure of the
splendid prosperity they so
completely destroyed when
in undisputed control oif the
nation and all its resources.
inow tnat protits are again
in sight, the vultureous crowd
would again gather to the
feast, intent not so much on
“safeguarding American insti
tutions” as in shackling them
to the chariots of pelf and
greed,
One need look no farther
than the names already in
scribed on the roster of the new
organization so far made pub
lic to realize that the leader
ship is made up almost entirely
of disgruntled and jealous pol
iticans and representatives or
minions of the powerful inter
ests who have been the chief
opposers and critics of the
NKA and all other government
agencies whose object is to re
lieve the poverty and depriv
ation elf the masses by forcing
a wider distribution of the pro
ceeds of industry and labor.
That is where the shoe pinch
es hardest for it mean3 good
bye to those good old days
when the employing interests
took five dollars out of the
proceeds of industry and in
magnificent magnanimity ten
dered one to the laborer whose
efforts pioduced them all.
To regain this former pre
rogauve ana xnrow on me re
straints of law which would
prevent it will be found to be
the oole object of the new or
ganization and all the high
sounding phrases about “safe
guarding American institut
ions” and “preserving individ
ual liberty” are nothing more
than patriotic-appearing cam
ouflage designed to conceal
its true purposes, which are
to restore to the exploiting in
terests the long-held privilege
of controlling and administrat
ing for private gain the nations
resources and labor and to
thwart the administration’s ef
forts to give the common peo
ple a just ^hare of the reward
of their toil.
If the American public is at
al! wise it will not be deceived
by the exalted and sonorous
phrases which will be forth
coming from this self-seeking
aggregation and will continue
to support the efforts of Pres
ident Roosevelt — the only
American leader since Abra^
ham Lincoln to display a sin
cere and unselfish interest in
the welfare and aggrandize
ment of the nation’s common
people.
