The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-05-23

AS the National Union makes its
first appearance in the state Of
New York, It assures this audi
ence that its purpose for existence
is to help in establishing social
justice in America.
It is our belief that this can be
accomplished more satisfactorily
by cfinging to the Constitution Of
the United States than by surren-
dering our form of government into
the hands of a dictator, be he fas-
cist or communist.
In these days which are charac-
terized throughout the world by so
much social discomfort, there must
be a well-founded reason for this
discomfort. 4
PLUTOCRACY
Eighteen years ago we mar
shalled our battalions for the pur-
pose of keeping the. world safe for
democracy. Nevertheless. the world
witnessed the passing Of this form
of government in Italy, in Austria,
in Germany and elsewhere. 1t also
witnessed the passing Of Russian
imperialism and in its place the es-
tablishment of radical communism.
It is my belief, however, that the
world did not suffer from too much
democracy, but rather from too lit
tie of it. 1t is my further belief
that while the United States of
America masqueraded under the
name of democracy, 1t was really
operated as a plutocracy.

poses to assist in rectifying the
many ills from which we are suf-
fering,eit does so with the specific
hope of reestablishing the real
democracy which was entertained
in the minds of our forefathers,
thereby bringing to an end the rule
of those whose concept of govern
ment is Of the wealthy. by the
wealthy and for the wealthy.
I daresay, until one year ago,
there was less real representation
in the American democratic form of
government than there was in the
empire Of the Kaiser or in the ter
ritories ruled by Mussolini and
Stain. The reason for this degen-
Grafton was that citizens were

turn these representatives, forget

legislation, "of the people, by the
people and for the people," be-

vested Hobbies of wealth and Of in

steps OF the capitol and its COM

capitalistic industry and of high
finance.
PERVERSION
Your congressman were neces-
sarily subjected to a barrage of
propaganda which lent itself to the
establishment of plutocratic form
Of government.
To sustain this perversion of
government which, in one sense,
was the expected and natural out

The bill conspicuously falls to

wednesday, May 22nd, 1885.
once more has demonstrated that
no one dare breathe against their
will.
The real contest in which we are
engaged Is identified with the ques-
ton: Has or has not Congress the
right to coin and regulate money!
One month ago the Administra-
tons Work Relief bill demonstrate
ed that the bankers who ran to
the government to borrow money
through the agency Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation in
order to sustain their capital stock
are still permitted to create check
book money although their credit
Ia not sound. Today a government
that enjoys sound credit dares not
venture to issue sound money a.
gainst more than $s-billion OF me-
tallic base.
MONEY CHANGERS
The United States Chamber of
Commerce, the monopolistic indus
tries and the Bankers association.
not one OF whom is the friend OF
the President, have been comforted
with a money changers feeble
argument pronounced by the same
person who promised to drive the
money changers from the temple.

AS much as I dislike voicing the
following remarks may remind
the President of the United states
that the 4.million soldiers ana
sailors who were taken from their
profitable occupations to risk life
