Warburg Statement.
The Warburg statement said:
Gov. Landon's stand for oppor-
tunity Of the individual. academic
freedom and religious liberty. as ex-
pressed in his recent speeches and in
his record, is in accordance with the
best traditions of American democracy.
Gov. Landon's emphasis in his
recent speeches on economy in Gov
ernment and efficient operation of
relief. while at the same time stressing
the necessity that no man or woman
should starve, is in MY opinion the
proper approach to the problems that
today beset us. His emphasis on more
employment for labor and fair treat
ment of business is the only safe basis
for recovery. for we must have an
expansion of present enterprises and
new businesses must be encouraged.
For these reasons intend to vote
for Gov. Landon."
Mr.. Warburg." j. A. Harzfeld
wrote. in transmitting the statement.
"is undoubtedly the outstanding jew
kh leader in philanthropic. welfare
and social service work in America.
The liberal contribution of his money
TO every worthy cause, both Jewish
and Gentle, has endeared him to
millions throughout the world.
"For the past IS years Mr.. War
burg has devoted himself almost en-
tirely to philanthropic work. serving
as an officer and director in many
Jewish and non-Jewish welfare or
ganizations.'
