The Democrtic party is not taking
criticism lying down. For example:
Recently only two cabinet officeds-
Hull of the State Department and
Perkins of the Labor Department

were about the country, making
speeches and looking things over. Less
important officials, such as the sub
cabinet members, were likewise in far
places. and it YOU have beer hard
to find state not visited by some Ad-
E~inistration official. Gist Of the talks
made by these men is that the New

actually been achieved-almost all the
