GILBERT that somewhere in New England
lives man. President of the United States VINO
hasn't read newspaper, report OF charity or nos
ptal, anything than billboard in three years.
That is what the necessity of politics can do.
Confessing that he was worried in 1928 (and "kept
in contact with the Federal Reserve Board established
under the last Democratic administratlonD, Mr. Coolidge
insists that with exception everything which caused
our depression either from Europe or from the
hand of God. This has become Aibi No. l for
siderable number of peope.) The exception is over
speculation and here Mr. Coolidge works into the moral
argument: "It something in which the great body
of the people were engaged"-impying that they
guilty and brought their sufferngs their own heads
But has proof that the ten million men and women
now of work actually the who did specu
late Did the children who not getting enough to
seat slap their thousands down Continental Can or
trot down to Goldman Sachs?
Plenty Of Food!
AS for those children if you follow Mr.. Coolidge, they
are all right Our social fabric" he says has re-
manned intact and ongestabshed methods of relief
have proved adequate to meet the strain Part of our
social fabric (no in the Constitution but in our minds
and hearts) is the idea that whoever wants work
get work; and another part which later, but
which prided ourselves, is the idea that whoever
works Loyalty and we'll is paid enough to live on de-
Gently Our social fabric has been torn, and all an
apologist say is that may sew it up again.
Whether faith do invisible reweaving do not know;
it will be generation before good opinion of our
selves be restored, should be.
The adequacy of relief is something else on which
few statistics might be offered In honor Of the Presi
dent Mr. Coolidge says "He has insisted early and late
that no should be cold hungry" Has he, or has
Mr. Coolidge proof that has been cold hungry?
Without that proof the kind insistenceeary and too
ate-of the President goes little flat and only adds
point to the rest of the sentence but that the method
of relief should be that which experience has proved to
be sound" In situation without precedent Mr Hoover
has said himself) he has stuck to precedent. eve
not amused"
One Thing Saved
The President has opposed the dole, the full bonus
and any large appropriation for great public works. for
these things he being praised because these things
saved the financial structure Of the country The three
refusals are not par For the first a real employ
ment system might have been submitted and would have
been if the President had not refused when Offered
the second need have arisen; for the third the
President substituted series of drbles "a program of
public works which slovenly, slow and nadequate)
and put the Government into the business of taking
of farm products and to astounding extent into the
banking business He had to put the best face the
matter, choice of saving the financial structure
saving the lives and health of millions of Americans.
There certainty that he needed to choose proof
that both could not have been saved But if he felt he
had the choice he chose the financial structure. The
others thrown to the wolves.
Mr.. Coolidge makes the points clearly He provides
philosophy Of sound Republican doctrine for the Pres
dent The President may be grateful, but think, in
the end Mr. Baers estimate of the vote remains correct
to two decimals. Mr.. Coolidge will not gain votes by
saying that when the country has had great task to
perform it has turned instnctvey to the Republican
party" And he should remember-in connection with
the adequacy of relief provided by the Republicans
that the slang of the heater the word adequate
terrible.
