corporations managed by no more
than five thousand men,"
So far as know, not mention
of the basic cause of our national
woe, since that time. The definitely
announced and actively executed
administration policy is, preserva-
ton of the present system intact.
The mechanical laws, of wealth
concentration and industrial stag
nation, have obliterated all chance
to return prosperity that way.
New Deals attempt to rehabili-
tate a crumbling economic system
has failed and must continue to
fail. Mr.. Roosevelt is only mailing
new shoes on a dieing horse.
Castoria, pink pills and porous
plaster remedies lead to nowhere,
except Fascism and dictatorship.
A dictatorship to preserve the
wealth and economic power of
handful of Robber Barons. Look
at Italy, Germany, Austria, Ru-
mania, Jugoslavia, Serbia, Argen-
tina and other lesser nations now
under the yoke of fascism. Living
j standards continue to decline, pro-
paganda substituted for education,
war diefed, unionism crushed, mid
die classes being liquidated and
every vestige of freedom wiped
out. Concentration camps, rock
piles. torture chambers and firing
squads for dissenters. God forbid
this to America. Enough of the
/ New Deal, give US a New Deck.

Redistribution of income? A
New Deal promise and the phrase
that will drip from the tongue of
every predatory politician and plu-
tocrat in the land during the next
campaign. You cannot devise a
method of accomplishment. l can
, not, the stuffed shirts who make
the proposals cannot. It's a dream,
mirage, a catch phrase, a straw
of hope to a sinking public. It's
time to quit monkeying. So what
