 after President Roosevelt "had car- ried out his pledged word to enact 1t into law"
 He explained that most of the congressman who erased the econ omy bill from the statute books in March 1884 over the presidents ve- to were reelected in the fall of that year land vindicated by the voters"
 Farley mentioned U. s. senators Hale (R) and White (R) of Maine among the New England senate members who voted Ito destroy that plank in the democratic platform"
 He said that humber of repub- licans who voted to destroy the economy bill" were guests at the American Liberty League banquet in Washington several weeks ago.
 Patronage of DuPOnts
 Under the kindly patronage of the DuPonts," Farley said, "they gathered in the Golden banquet hall surrounded by the trappings e great wealth to warn the American people that the nation was going to ruin because a democratic president had failed to cut 25 per cent from the normal expense of the govern ment Just imagine the Liberty Leaguers entering into an unholy alliance with republicans who voted to rip up the economy plank and all of them pointing to the White House to say You did it."
 Here Farley warned that in the coming campaign the congressional record would prove Ian unhappy reference book for several republi- can hopefuls who are now casting longing eyes toward the White House."
 Funds From DuPonts
 More than 70 per cent of the funds supplied to the miscalled Liberty League" Farley asserted, "come from the DuPonts and their allies in the automotive and other industries. Now as direct result of the Roosevelt policies in reviving the buying power of the workers and the great whitecollar class, the automotive industry is having the greatest period of prosperity in its history"
 He defended relief expenditures by claiming that employment has not increased proportionately with industrial output.
 Abrupt ending of emergency ex- penditures and a 25 per cent reduc- iton in the normal operating ex- penses of the federal government" as advocated in the platform of those who disagree with the admin istration's method to promote re- coyery, Farley said, would mean economic suicide in New England"
 Tt would freeze up the economic life of this section, upset the pro- cess of recovery and send us tumb- ling back towards the desperate economic conditions that prevailed during the last part of the Hoover administration" he predicted. Pledged to Roosevelt
