about how antagonistic to bust
ness this Administration is Sai6
to be. You have heard all about
the dangers which the business
of America is supposed to be
facing if this Administration con.

The answer to that is the
record of what we have done.
1t was this Administration which
saved the system of private
profit and free enterprise after
it had been dragged to the
brink of ruin by these same
leaders who now try to scare
you.
Look at the advance in private
business in the last three and a
half years; and read there what
we think about private business.

years the banker, the Storekeeper,
the small factory owner, the in

the knees of all of our rugged in
dividualistS were trembling four
years ago and how their hearts
fluttered. They came to Wash
ington in great numbers.
Washington did not look like a
dangerous bureaucracy to them
then. Oh! no, it looked like an
emergency hospital. All of the
distinguished patients wanted two
thingS-a quick hypodermic to
end the pain and a course of treat
ment to cure the disease. We gave
them both. And now most OF the
patients seem to be doing very
nicely. Some of them are even well
enough to throw their crutches
at the doctor.

not against, American business.

Claims Income Raised

Through the Agricultural Ad-
juStment Administration, through
our cattle-buying program, through
our program of drought relief and
flood relief, through the Farm
credit Administration, we raised
the income of the customers OF
business who lived on the farms.
BY our program to provide work
for the unemployed, by our
CCC camps, and other measures,
greater purchasing power was
given to those who lived in our
cities.
Money began going round again.
The dollars paid out by Govern
ment were spent in the stores
and shops of the nation; and
spent again to the wholesaler;
and spent again to the factory;
and spent again to the wage
Garner; and then spent again in
another store and shop. The
wheels of business began to turn
again; the train was back on the
rails.
Mind you, 1t did not get out Of
the ditch itself, it was hauled out
by your Government.
And we hauled it along the
road. PWA, WPA, both provided
normal and useful employment
for hundreds of thousands of
workers. Hundreds Of millions of
dollars got into circulation when
we liquidated the assets Of closed
banks through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. Millions
more when we loaned money for
home building and home financ.
ing through the Federal housing
program. Hundreds of millions
more in loans and grants to
enable municipalities to build
needed improvements. Hundreds
of millions more through the
CCC.
BY our monetary policy we have
kept prices UP and lightened the
burden of debt. 1t is easier to get
credit. 1t is easier to repay.
We have encouraged cheaper
power for the small factory owner
to lower his cost of production.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-10-15

We have given the business man
cheaper transportation rates.
During those years Of false pros
perity and during the more recent
years of exhauSting depression,
one business after another, one
small corporation after another,
their resources depleted, had
failed or had fallen into the lap
Of a bigger competitor.
SdLU Danger Ahead
A dangerous thing was happen
ing. Half of the industrial corpo-
rate wealth Of the country had
come under the control of less
than 200 huge corporations. That
is not all. These huge corpora.
tionS in some cases did not even
try to compete with each other.
They themselves were tied to-
gether by interlocking directors,
interlocking bankers. interocking
lawyers.
This concentration Of wealth
and power has been built upon
other peoples money, other peo-
pies business, other peoples
labor. Under this concentration
independent business was allowed
to exist only by sufferance. 1t has
been a menace to the social sys-
tenn as we'll as the economic SyS-
tenn which we call American
democracy.
There is no excuse for it in the
cold terms of industrial efficiency.
There is no excuse for it from
the point of view Of the average
investor.
There is no excuse for it from
the point Of view of the independ-
ent business man.
I believe, I have always be-
lieved, and I will always believe
in private enterprise as the back
bone of economic weu,being in
America.
But I know. and you know,
and every independent business
man who has had to struggle
against the competition of mon
opolies knows, that this concen-
tration of economic power in all
embracing corporations does not
represent private enterprise as
we Americans cherish it and pro-
pose to foster it. On the con-
trary, it represents private enter
prise become a kind of private
government which is a power
unto itself-a RECOMMENDATION of
other peoples money and other
peoples lives.

Points to Record

There was no power under
heaven that could protect the peo-
pie against that sort of thing ex-
cept a peoples Government at
Washington. All that this Admin
istration has done, all that it pro-
poses to do-and this it does pro
pose to dds to use every power
and authority of the Federal Gov
eminent to protect the commerce
of America from the selfish forces
which ruined it.
Always, month in and month
out. during these three and half
years, your Government has had
but one sign on its deSk-"S Seek
only the greater good of the greater
number Of Americans"
And in appraiSing the record,
remember two things:
First, this Administration was
called upon to act after a previous
administration and all the COM
bined forces Of private enterprise
had failed.
Secondly, in spite Of all the de-
mand for speed. the completely of
the problem and all the vast sums
Of money involved, We have had no
Teapot Dome.
We found when we came to
Washington in 1888, that the bust
ness and industry Of the nation
were like a train which had gone
off the rails into a ditch. Our
first job was to get it out of the
ditch and start it up the track
again as far as the shops. Our
next job was to repair 1.-THE
broken axles which had gotten it
off the road, the engine which
had been worn down by gross mis-,
use.

businessman wanted Government
