Do you mean n say That this irhsP-

required. has been "nade prhlic,~ 40
the law SAYS It "shsil be?' 1t was to
insure such publicity that y0u asked
FOR this 1egislatio
On the contrary, Mr.. President. Il r.
not true that not one word. not one syi-
liable, rot ore letter has ever appeared
OF that proper publicity about which
you talk so glibly!
But when your Presidential cam
ralgn began and Mr.. Corte:you had
learned all he needed to know Of the
secret business affairs Of the great
corporations. you made this Grand L.
quisltor OF Corporations Chairman Of
your National Committee.
And why? Was Mr.. CorteIyou q
member of the National Committee :
No. Was he a member Of any commit
tee. State or local? No. Had he any
reputation or experience rs a Gamma i'm
| manager? No. Did the veteran poIiti-
cans Of your party desire his appoint
ment! No. Was there-couId there he
any reason for his appointment ex-
cept that re knows from 'diliSent In
vesiigatiou' the business secrets cf
these great corporations upca which
yoa depend FOR your campaign fund.-
.
You viii pardon a delicate Question.
| Mr.. President. but when the most in
| telligent Mr. Corte,.cu goes ont to co,-
leci money for your campaign fund. sf-
ter spending the night in your hospit-
able home. is it conceivable that these
corporations do not assume that he r,r,-
