Brooklyn Manhattan Transit

sale of $8,0OO,O0O bonds to pay off
the entire bank loans. to bank
ing group consisting of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., Hayden Stone & Co.,
Lehman Bros. and J. and w.

The bonds will bear interest at
6 per cent and mature in IS
years. They will be secured by
12O per cent of New York Rapid
Transit Corporation refunding 6
per cent bonds of 1868.
Payment of B. M. It's bank
loans will wind up a floating
debt which originally was $13, $780,
600. Inability to fund this in
1892 forced omission of the divi-
dend on the common stock. To-
days development, which opened
the possibility of renewal of
common dividends, sent the stock
up more than a point to a new
high for the year in a weak
market.

that he stood for the millennium,
they would be for him.
1t is this group which accepts
the process Of blind experimental

END" no matter how vague,
justifies any means, They say,
"Oh we'll. it is just the method
Of trial and error.
2. Second. there is the good
man" group.
These are the kindly and i'm
preSSionable people who. when
they like a man personally. are
willing to trust him. They like
the Presidents face or voice.
They feel that he means we'll"
That is about as far as they go
into the matter. and they do not
bother much about the SoudneSS
Of what the good" man does.
8. Third, comes the mo alter
native" group.
These people say, why 60 back
to Harding" or whatever other
person or administration they re-
gard as the worst. They appear
to assume that the choice lies be-
tween Roosevelt and the devil.
They speak as if the only alterna-
tives are the New Deal and the
worst part of the Old Deal.
4. Then 1 find the "chaOs"
group.
Just as Hoover said that the
grass would grow in our streets
if we didn't elect him, SO these
people say that it is now
Roosevelt or revolution.
This group embraces many
who do not approve of the New
Deal. They merely regard 1t
rs the less of two evils.
5. Finally, get letters from the
bitter and revengeful group, who
support Roosevelt because they
see him as pulling down the
financial manipulators, bankers,
and wealthy classes, to whom
they attribute their own miSfor-
tunes.
They have lost money and are
unemployed. This, they think, is
due to the Crooks" Il have al
ways noted that the word "crook"
is used very frequently by those
who fall in this groupO
Concerning the arguments of
these various groups of New Deal
supporters, I would say:
:, /. Such vague slogans as social
Justice" mean nothing. What is
"social justice?" How can we get
1t? Every honest man wants it. But
1t is the practical methods of at
tanning it which count. You might
as we'll say advocate Happiness"
or I stand for goodness"
2 The good" man is not neces-
Sarily the efficient man. The
F'good man" idea is the bane of
American politics, and Hell is
paved with good intentions" The
good president must be he who
does the practical things that are
good for the nation, and does
them at the right time.
3, We do not have to 90 back
to Harding and Hanna when
we get rid Of the New Deal. Few
sOf us want the bad part of the
sOld Deal. / think that Alfred E.
! Smith and Newton d. Boxer
are as good" as Roosevelt. And
II think Farley and his machine
are as bad as any politics" we
have had.
Nor are social revolution and
chaos the necessary alternatives
TO Roosevelt. We have plenty Of
laws and ample means of enforc-
ing them. Grover Cleveland was a
good man.
Anyhow, for one think we have
economic chaos right now, and
certainly we have never had more
complete economic uncertainty.

Judson was a tall, gaunt in
