bottom. The lowest pit of distress had been arrived at. The turn ing point was just ahead. And at this low point in our economic for- tunes . group of political oppor- tunists went to the people with charges that were false, with ex- plantations that were unsound, with promises that were empty. They said that the depression was due to the misconduct of Amer ican citizens, that the republican party had approved this mlscon- duct. They said that they could end the depression by legislative tricks.
 People Deceived
 They deceived Q stricken people. From the day this groupp took office they defaulted on their promises, violated their pledges. They promised economy, and for 3h years they have spent money like a drunken sailor. Their finances remind me of the story of the man who found himself after . weeks spree in e strange place and asked . bystander where he was and was told that he, was on Washington Street, and said, "Never mind what street I'm on; what state am in?" They prom ised to abolish government com missions, and promptly erected 70 new ones. They promised to rec duce the number of government employees, and promptly added 260000 new ones. Tn this country today ono person in every 100 adults is e federal employe feed- ing at the public trough. They promised to keep c sound curren- cy. and their first step was to adulterate our credit and curren- cy by every device known to his- tory and buy some new ones never tried before. Before tho election they had condemned as the idea of reducing production, and then immediately proceeded to throw 30 million acres of farm land out of cultivation and put on general massacre of pigs.
 They promised to leave private business alone, and within six months every business in America was under the most dictatorial control ever known outside Of Russia. They promised to keep government out of private enter prise, and immediately set up dozens of government enterprises that competed directly with pri- vate business.
 Experiments
 This country. already suffering intense misery from c depression, was subjected to a series of reck- less, helter-skeiter, catch-as- catch-caf, experiments on the vital institutions of our economic sys- tenn. Not even under the craziest of the Roman emperors has there ever been such economic hedlam as this country endured in 1883 and 1884. Tn one circus perform ance there was the great radio roarer, with his curious bird, the Blue Eagle. In another there was the famous author of America Must Choose" pursuing pigs and pulling up cotton and paying checks of &50,000 to million dol- lars to sugar corporations in Ha- waii while we bought sugar from foreigners. Somebody has said that the statistics show that as c friend of the farmer MT. Wallace ranks just below the drouth and the boll-weevil and just above the corn-borer and the hoof-and- mouth disease.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-01

Waterbury is my first stop on Q
 long journey that began this morning and will end just before g the election in November. I am {. pleased to make Waterbury the 7 first city in long list that I am
 to visit. It is @ typical American city. This American economic em- < pife of ours is dotted with towns { like yours, not 8 great metropolis ' of Q million inhabitants, nor yet Q < small town, but 8 medium-Si
 city, steadily growing through the ' years, contributing to the nations :. wealth, educating the next genera ton graphing with depression at ' one time, enjoying prosperity and \ accelated industrial life at an- \ other.
 z Nearly every city of your type !. has . distinct personality and Q V distinct place in our economic {. scheme. Your town is widely { known for the excellence of it's ]. manufactured products, partic- !. ularly metal products. Some of \ your products, such as your Wa < terbury clocks, are known all over !. the world. If these clocks of yours z had political barometer at tached, they would say that 1t is |, time to get c new administration ' in Washington.
 Local Problems
 ' As I have just said, you are not . great teemtng metropolis of mil- : lions of Inhabitants. And yet you have here many of the problems of . great metropolis. You have here the problems of industry. < Your industries face competition [ from new rivals in states farther West. You have here the many
 problems of industrial production,
 of labor organization and wage
 rates and competitive markets.
 You have had to face here the
 tragic problems of reduced pro-
 duction and unemployment and
 relief. You have Q great retail
 market here. It has had to face
 th0 problems Of vanished markets
 and reduced consumption.
 These problems are very old. They are the basic problems of
 mankind. There is no avoiding
 them. In 1928 Q president of the
 United States began his adminis-
 tration With 8 ringing declaration of the intention of this nation to abolish poverty among It's people.
 And yet within a year after that statement our country had fallen
 victim of Q ghastly world depres- sion that plunged the country into
 tragic distress and threw millions
 of capable and hard working cit- igens into unemployment and des- Jitution.
 I want to talk to you a little while tonight about certain of
 these problems of depression and
 unemployment and poverty. There
 tB no easy solution of these prob-
 lems. They cannot be settled by
 empty rhetoric over a radio. There
 Is no quick trick method of rem

tured the Egyptian emblems and
buyers we're gullible enough to buy
the faxed relics" he said.
He pointed out how governmental
events provided ideas for schemers.
After prohibition repeal, liquor
stocks were the popular worthless
investments peddled.

the king and queen of spades
cashed Immediately, as declarer
had hoped to be able to discard
his losing diamonds on dummy's
ace and jack of spades.
AT this point a small club was
led and declarer f1nessed the lack.
South won with the queen of
clubs and then cashed the king
and queen of diamonds, North dis
carding small heart.
South then led the ten OF dia-
monds, declarer discarded the six
of hearts, and North trumped
with the king of clubs, forcing
dummy to overtrump with the ace.
Declarer returned the ace of
spades, hoping to discard one of
his hearts. But South trumped
with the deuce of clubs and
forced declarer to overtrump with
the five. Now the declarer could
not avoid losing two heart tricks.
The contract could have been
made easily if, upon winning the
first trick with the ace of dia-
monds, the club finesse had been
taken Immediately. Then there
would have been no chance of
getting into trouble on this hand.
