A ton had been allowed to continue in force," Farley said.
 He defended the administrations relief policy on the grounds that 1t kept the unemployed from congre- gating on street corners because "idlencss is the mother of civil disorder"
 Critics of work relief, Farley charged, failed to criticize the pro- gram when 1t was inaugurated but now that the country is on It's feet again they rush out of hiding and spend their days finding fault with President Roosevelt"
 Reminded of GueriIlas
 They remind me Of gucrillas who run and hide when the battle is raging fiercely and then rush OuA after the battle has been won, to start sniping at the brave leaders who won the day" he said.
 The Liberty league, Farley as- serted, has become strangely sil- ent" since senate lobby committee disclosures that The sponsors of the league will pour out money to anyone who promises to say some thing nasty about MT. Roosevelt"
 "The Liberty league. as you know" he continued, "is sport model of the republican national committee. The same people own both cars and, for the sake of con- venience, sometimes they use one and sometimes the other.
 T know q lot of people who would be ashamed to be found riding in the republican model who don't mind taking a seat in the sport mbdel. But cars are headed down the same blind alley and both will arrive at the same disappointing end"

Do not grieve, oh Husband dear,
I am not dead, but sleepeth here;
Your time will come-prepare to die,

I am not grieving, my dearest wife,
Sleep on, I've got another wife,
And. therefore, cannot come to thee,
For | must surely go to she.
