tion of the American mood" p"
Representative Robert L. Bacon
(R0, Of New York, yesterday
demanded the Chief Executive ex-
plain whether his repudiation was
based solely on principle or fact
as we'll"
Bacon, who is vice chairman of
the Republican congressional com
mittee and Eastern congressional
campaign manager, declared:
specifically, does the Presi-
dent repudiate the communism
Of Prof. Tugwell? Does he re-
pudiate the New Deal electors

TUGWELL ADDRESS
"On October %, 1885, Prof.
Tugwell, ever a key man in the
formulation of New Deal poll
cies, delivered a public speech
in Los Angeles, Calf, which
began on this note:
"HOw deep are the sources
Of your Indignation? Do they
lie on the surface and are they
at the command of those who
would have you turn against a
national government which has
invaded the modern StrOnghOldS
of privilege? Or do they lie
deeper, so that your wrath may
sustain a genuine reconstruction
Of American life?
"'ThiS is political jargOn of
European communism, cOmmu-
nism which moves by wrath, in
dignation and violent emotion
aIism inspired by demagOgues.'
NURSE ANGER
"At another point in that Los
Angeles speech, Prof. Tugwell
said:
"What I have to say to you,
therefore. is of this sort: We
must draw together, nursing the
sources of that anger which has
driven us forward and making
more and more clear the great
hopes which pull us in the same
direction
"Does Mr.. Roosevelt repudiate
this verse of communism from
his Undersecretary Of Agricul-
ture?
cat another point in that
speech, Prof. Tugwell said:
"'Our best strategy is to
surge forward with the workers
and the farmers of this nation,
committed to general achieve
ments, but trusting the genius OF
our leader for the disposition Of
our forces and the timing of our
attacks. do not need to re-
mind you of his genius for this
task, or of his devotion to the
cause of OverthrOwing industrial
autocracy and the creation Of
the democratic discipline. If
YOU do not believe in these quail
tiles Of his by now, despair OF
convincing you
DEFINITE QUERY
"Tn his strategic reputation
of communism, does President
Roosevelt specifically repudlate
this sentiment of his foremost
national planner?
"At another point in his Los
Angeles address, DIR. Tugweu
said:
"'But he is notOriOuSly well
armed who has a righteous cause
1T nurses an energiZing wrath
-. we must work with and for
that rising Of common men. -.
"The record is clear that the
New Deal not only has enjoyed
the cordial support Of Com
munists in America, but the
Roosevelt administration has
provided at the expense Of the
taxpayers, a large national
forum for the doctrines of COM
munism as interpreted by Prof.
Rexford G. Tugwell.
Gas the deeper purposes and
ObjectiveS of New Dealism be-
come clear to the great body of
the American electorate, does
President Roosevelt specifically
repudiate these COmmuniStic as
poets Of New DealiSm?
"DOeS Mr.. Roosevelt, Specifi-
cally, intend to act to eliminate
Dubinsky and Hillman as his
electors in New York, particu.
larly Dubinsky who has been
raising money in this country
for the Spanish redS?"
