ROOSEVELT STAND
.. ASKEDB BY THOMAS
Governor Is Declared Vague
on Issues by Socialist
Candidate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 19-Nor-
man Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President, yesterday challenged Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt to state his po-
sition on the principal issues of the
campaign-domestic and foreign.
Terming contemporary civilization a
"great capitalist racket" Thomas re-
stated the Socialist program in an ad-
dress at Town Hall to a meeting of his
followers. The meeting was called
to ratify his own nomination and that
of Louis Waldman for Governor of
New York. Charles Solomon for United
States Senator and Morris Hillquit for
mayor of New York City.
He asserted that President Hoover's
platform was well known because
''events have forced him to act" but
that mo one living knows what Mr..
Roosevelt's program is-not even Mr..
Roosevelt"
Hoover Criticized.
'No man in America-few men in the
world-have ever put Government in
business so deeply as Mr. Hoover" he
said, but always with the avoWed in
tention of bolstering up a sick profit
system. What Mr.. Hoover has done
and left undone is subject to the Sc
verest criticism. But at least it may be
aid of him that, having recovered from
his wholly illusory optimism of 1928
and 1929, he has managed to work out
some sort of program, bad as it is"
But the Democratic candidate, he
said, has been vague" in expressing
himself on such matters as war debts,
the banking system, agriculture, unem-
ployment, public utilities, and Tammany
Hall
In foreign affairs" Thomas con-
tinued, his (Roosevelt's) mentor Is Will
liam Randolph Hearst. at whose behest
he blithely and frivolously denounced
the League of Nations, for which he
campaigned in 1920.
Roosevelt Scored.
'He is opposed to cancellation of
debts, also at Mr.. Hearst's behest, with
out having given us any idea of how to
collect them For the rest he has thus
far INDUCED in the usual platitudes
about his desire for peace and for big
enough armies and navies. He has
been absolutely silent thus far about
Russia"
Gov. Roosevelts attitude toward
Wall Street is liberal enough to please
Senator Burton K. Wheeler. he said,
and conservative enough to please
Baruch. His agricultural program was
described as partial, vague and not
wholly consistent"
In relation to Tammany Hall and
Mayor Walker" Thomas stated, "the
Governor has got at very cheap price
a considerable reputation for courage.
Actually what he has done and left
undone can be explained intelligently
only in reference to his political ambi-
tons. At least until the Walker hear
ing he played as closely as he could
with Tammany without being hopelessly
marked as Tammanys man.
rs it any wonder that the threat of
Fascism in America grows apace? From
this threat such old parties as the ram
shackle Republican and Democratic
legions of hungry Office seekers have
become can never deliver us. Our one
hope is in the Socialist movement IN
cities, States and nations
