SIGHT THE REPUBLIC WRECKERS

FIGHT THE REPUBLIC WRECkERS
The business of this country has been
the goat of the depression from the Oegin-
ming. Naturally, business and industry were
the first and most extensive interests OF the
country to feel the effects OF hard times.
As business decreased and industry failed
to function for lack of markets, labor was
involved and working men and women be-
gan to lose their jobs. Then the politicians
took charge and decided they could run
the country successfully - not its politics
alone but its business and industry.
The virtuouS politicians aided and abet-
ed by the entire conglomeration of the
countrys radicals, also decided that all
classes of citizens should be reformed to
conform to the we'll known characteristics
of the politicians and the boys afflicted
with brain-storms. These gents went to
work with. the greatest collection Of
schemes and tricks in the history OF CIVIL
ization. and with the biggest and most
smoothly working propaganda organlza-
ton ever devised, to destroy the confidence
of the public iii the cOuntry's industrlallstS
and business men and to make the people
of other classes believe that all business
men are crooks who have been syStemati-
cally robbing the country throughout its
history American business men have been
pictured to the world as more different
kinds of villains than the devil ever
thought of and much of the country's con-
fidence in business has been destroyed
At the same time the politicians were
continually "holering'' and ranting and
saying that the depression must be over
come and normal conditions restored by
putting business and industry back on the
road to prosperity and that the only nope
of the country was to get the unemployed
re-employed in business and industry; and,
also, at the same time, the politicians and
the radicals have been doing everything
that the devil of national destruction could
think of to make it impossible for order
and prosperity to be restored in business
and industry.
With two years and more of such condi-
tons clearly outlined before them and con-
crete results without number to point to as
examples, there are increasing signs that
the business of the country has about
reached the limits of endurance in the role
of depression goat. There are growing
signs of rebellion under the tyranny of the
pious politicians and the all-wise radical
schemerS, tricksterS and transformers. In
other words there are hopeful signs that
the business of the country has suffered as
long and as much as it proposes to suffer
and that business is preparing to FIGHT
the radicals. Another encouraging sign of
the times is that there are reliable indica-
tiOns that many people not classed as bust
ness men or industrialists are going to line
up with the country's business interests to
FIGHT the demagogues and the wreckers
of the country. ~
The menace of radicalism and of un,
sound and dangerous public policies can be
resisted and overcome by an aroused pub
lie opinion. A majority of the people o.
this country is opposed to radicalism ano
to the greater part of what has been done
in the past two years in the name of re
form and as cure for the depression. Th<
almost complete failure of the entire Ill
conceived, half-baked and vastly expensive
scheme is plainly evident. The country
beginning to see and understand. The ma
jority of American citizens do not propos'
to follow Hooey Long, Father Coughiin .
