BEVERLY HILLS, Nov. 8,
(SpeciaD--You now, as all these
late precincts keep coming in
Cwhere they can't count very fast)
the Democratic lead keeps piling
up. It's Just kinder kicking a
fellow when he is down. In the
heat of the moment, they have
kicked out some awful good Re-
publicans. And then too, too big
victory amt so good.
We need quite a few in there
Just as detectives or watch dogs.
Then too. you want to remem-
Der that an awfully lot OF these
Democratic voters this time were
really at heart Republicans, and
they can revert back to type
mighty quick, SO don't rub it in

Remove Speculation

Whereas some of his more radical
lieutenants, heartily approving bis pol
ieies, believe that they will wreck the
capitalisuc system, and bring about
form OF living much more to their
liking. And many smart reacuonaries,
opposing the policies just as strongly
as the radicals endorse them, agree.
This criticism SINNERS down to this
that the President, In his calcula-
lions with respect to profits for private
Initiative, has drawn the line so fine,
and thinks Of profits 30 small that
there will be no reserve to carry the
corporations or business men through
the lean years.
The answer of the small group OF In
siders who agree that the Presidents
policies will preserve and not destroy
the capitalistic system Is that. under
the New Deal. there will not be any
lean years, No conservatives agree
with this.
But In his effort to work out sys-
tenn which will run along, year In and
year out, with all private capital max
Ing small profit, no one getting rich,
and no one going absolutely broke, this
new Idea of holding prices on an even
keel Is most interesting. In another
way, 1t Is part OF the Presidents
personal antagonism to anything re-
sembling speculative profits. He would
take every possible ounce of specula-
tion out of business.
