TINE New Deal is going forward. That is
Il the clear meaning Of the Presidents mes
sage to the citizens. 1t had the ring of leader
ship.
He is not weary He is not compromising
with reaction. He IS not content to rest on
past gains. He is going on fighting, not only
for recovery, but also for economic and social
reform.
That is what the people wanted to know
They will follow. They will help him with new
enthusiasm.
The President must have surprised his
enemies. They had inspired stories that he
was weakening. He was "on the run" He was
swinging to the right" So, at least we were
told. The big special interests applied pres
sure on the White House and Congress until
they were convinced they had blocked reform.
The grapevine gossip whispered that the eco
nomic legislative program would have the
heart cut out Of it.
It may-yet But not if the President can
prevent it.

with new vigor last night. And on every one

policies and organization which are to turn the
great four billion-dollar emergency appropria-
ton into work for the unemployed, he said
fatty that works-relief was not enough. We
must build for the future. We must enact re-
forms now before this Congress goes home.
MONG all the necessary reforms listed,
he stressed those four which have been
most endangered by Hobbies. Those are the
social security, MIRA utility holding company,
and banking bills.
To those who would cut down old-age
pensions and throw out unemployment in
surance, he replied: The program for So
cial security now pending before the Con-
gress is a necessary part of the future unem-
ployment policy of the government. 1t
proposes, by means Of old-age pensions, to
help those who have reached the age of re-
tirement to give up their jobs and thus give
to the younger generation greater opportuni
ties for work and to give to all a feeling of
security as they look toward old age. The I'M

PUTTING IN A PLUG FOR
THE DRAFTED SOLDIER
By John A. Friend.


Why print such letters as our
Regular of the Home Guards wrote?
He's just sorehead of the first
degree. I'm regular and regard
the Army's drafted men with as
much respect as the regular sim
ply because I served with them and
know.
Thousands were drafted and could
have claimed exemption, but didn't.
They waited for this reason: IF the
government needs me they will call
me, and I'll gladly CO." for they held
good jobs.
I was with the 18th Infantry, list
Division, and at first we were all
regulars. I didn't respect the Ma
tional Army soldier then, but by
midsummer Of 1918 we were so per
cent drafted men. Some Of my best
pals were drafted. I fought side by
side with them and never saw one
turn tail and run, but l did see four
regulars who turned yellow, two
were "cry babies" two deserted their
post, one by going A. w. 0. L. at the
front in the Argonne and one the
morning Of Oct. when our squad
was on patrol in No Mans Land.
We we're ouUnumbered by the en-
envy. Our squad consisted Of two
regulars and four drafted babies,
and here is how the squad respond

and never returned, two Of the

three OF US were left. We were

HEATED PROTEST COMES
FROM A DEMOCRAT
Rv NJ. Davis


Great grief and lamentation is
evidenced everywhere Democrats
gather. AS one of these Democrats,
I know that cause for such mani
festations are abundant. For two
years, two or three shekel-mad poll
ticians have waxed rich racketeer-
ing in the beer and liquor indus
tries, in a manner so braZen that it
has disguised those of us in the
party who have not lost our sense
of common decency in everything
relating to government.
1t is said that this group sought
the reappointment of our police
chief at the commencement of the
present city administration.
I hold no brief for the 'bookies, "
never having seen a horse race or
had a desire to see one. AS a mat
ter of fact, the term "bookmaker
was always associated in my mind
with a branch of the printing and
publishing industry. 1t is no secret
that 20 or more Of these horse race
emporiuIns were closed, only after
deluxe bookie establishment was
opened to the public few weeks
ago. 1t is said that this place was
established by beer and whisky bar
ons who desired the elimination Of
all profitable competition in their
venture.
Here is a chief Of police upon
whom the destinies Of our party
rest, more or less, and it appears
that it was four years before he
ascertained that there we're 20 odd
racehorse betting places in his juris-
diction.
1t took him nearly the same
length of time to learn that a $780,
900 lottery was being operated, near
ly under his very nose. Your paper
is to be commended for its expose
of the policy racket operated by two

Negro Democratic politicians. Yet,
after you called attention to this
swindle, the police sledge hammer
brigade has been unable to locate
the headquarters Of this swindle,
despite the fact that you specifically
pointed out that it was on Indiana
av. Your latest story tells that
these Negro bandits are now reach
ing out for the pennies of their COM
fiding brothers and sisters and it T.
a sad commentary upon the kind on
government the people expected
when they voted the Republicans
out and the Democrats in. Maybe
the police will learn about the policy
racket about the year 1899. That
appears to have been their speed.

WE'RE 10 YEARS BEHIND

By Robert Young

You are indebted to your editorial
on THE Bonus" for this outburst
from an irate reader. For "a hours
have been trying to make myself
believe that you are sincere, that you
really have the best interest of your
country and mine at heart. But it
Just won't stick. A smell keeps how
ring around my nostrilS. An odor
of the National Economy League
and the self-righteous hypocriteS
who disguise their reluctance to let
loose of a share of their ill-gotten
profits through the income tax, by
calling it patriotism!
The little that 1 can do is to hope
that you are just weak sister, just
putting into your editorials the de-
sires Of the master minds behind

felony of your stuff. Would a peek
at the subscription list Of this MEL
show a substantial sum donated to
your paper? No doubt if we could
ferret it out.
You are 10 years behind the times.
Congress openly confessed 10 years
ago the United States owed this
debt to the veterans. Passage of the
bill closes all argument as to its just

The only point remaining is
Would it be to the best interests OF
the largest number of people to pay

be yes.
You know as we'll as I that too
much imitation, exploitation of credit,
has ruined the financial structure
of this capitalistic country. The
immediate crying need is an influx
of money, paper money, the kind a
few still carry in their pockets, to
bring this ratio Of cash to credit
back to normal.
The smoothest method by which
a watchful government can oil up
normal activity evenly through the
whole vast area is to pay this bonus
NOW. Not by issuing bonds and
selling these through our banks. That
wouldn't increase the currency in
operation one bit. What they should
do is to issue right from the presses
crisp new bills to the tune of enough
millions to redeem every bonus GER

happen and inside a week I'll show
you a pulse Of activity through this
entire nation which will be felt in
every nook and Granny.
Those are my patriotic views. My
personal views are opposite, for right

RENT, INTEREST AND PROFIT
DRAWS HIS WRATH
BY a Times Reader

By Times Reader.
The Republicans are singing the
old song, Il want to be let alone"
again. They are going to put us
out of our misery with political
poison gas. If we had sense enough
to realize it, all that ails the eco
nomic organization of the country
is the use of this slow poison Of
rent, interest and profit
If we could abolish this trinity
of evil spirits and get our minds
on the production of goods and
services for social use instead of
keeping lot of social parasites
who feed on the real producers
through interest, rent and profit
tribute, we could produce and dis
tribute wealth in unheard Of
volume.
We could do without these para
sites as easily as a dog can get
along without feas. We do not need
these parasites any more than a
horse needs a dog in the manger,
who can not eat hay, but stops the
horse from eating the hay. No
Workee, no eatee parasites.
