taken, how can any other citizen be wrong
in taking an independent position in public
affairs, in politics, or in coming to the con-
clusion that he will not follow Roosevelt
because he is not Democrat?
If Roosevelt has right to his views and
opinions, does the right extend to all other
American citizens, or is it right reserved
exclusively for the chief executive?
If Roosevelt has right to go outside the
party he processes to belong to, to support
the candidates of other parties, can this
right reasonably be denied other citizens?
If Roosevelt had the right to decide for
himself thirty years ago that Democratic
candidate for president was not Demo-
crat of sufficient worthiness to get his vote,
does not the ordinary, plain citizen and
Democrat of today have the right to decide
that Roosevelt is not a Democrat and to
oppose the man and his policies?

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SINGING THE NEW DEAL SONG

While there were dozen variations of the tune
they all sang in the same key. The basic thought
sought to be conveyed was that the business re-
cesslon' had been engineered by the "Haves" to
Illustrate New Deal efforts to aid the "Have Nots. "
While Mr.. Roosevelt was more restrained in this
charge than the others, that the burden of the
song. Nor do the recent White House conferences
with business leaders change the fact though they
do add to the confusion. The calculation back of
the Jackson Day outburst to nullify the effect
of the general newspaper rdicue of the conspiracy
theory. They knew the first blast from the Messrs
Ickes and Jackson, supplemented by Mr.. Henderson,
greaslly referred to by his admirers the New
Deal Ideal man," did not take we'll The Jackson
Day oratory was intended to give the people "full
strength"
Holding up to scorn his ''mere handful" of wicked
and strictly anonymous ndustrialists, Mr.. Roosevelt
pledged himself to fight" though against whom
and for what he was somewhat vague. At the same
time his selected subordinaes Embossed their heav-
est fire against business in general. Now it is any
body'S guess as to the result. Certainly the news
papers offset the first radio attack. Whether the
second and greater burst of aerial oratory nulied
the newspapers there is way to tell, The New
Dealers contend they put their idea over with the
people generally and even while the president con-
fers with industrialists at the White House it is
being echoed by New Deal spokesman in different
parts of the country.
On the other hand, General Johnson who has
recently been travelling around, asserts that while
the president today is stronger than with the
c. l. o. and the colored people, he has lost consd
erably in prestige among the farmers and "tremen-
dously and irretrievably" in prestige with the little
business man and white-collar worker; that the
business ''plot" idea was too obviously false for
any but the most blindly prejudced to swallow.
Perhaps he is right. At any rate, having commit
ted themselves, from president down, to the theory
that there exist these bad and brutal business
who enslave the people and plot against the noble
president, the New Deal spokesman will continue
along those lines and we are sure TO hear lot
more speeches to that general effect. The impress
sion made will be in exact proportion to the boob
ishness of the radio audence-and there is no
yardstick with which to measure that. One handi-
cap the New Dealers have in this line of attack is
that not many of them believe their own stuff

LITTLE LIKELY TO COME OF 1T

Five eminent business leaders of America, sum
moned to the White House to give the president
their views or the current business situation, left
with a smile on their faces and cheer in their
hearts, remarking to waiting interviewers that "Al
have better understanding of each others prob
lens now"
Beyond that of course, they would not go.
White House conferences are sacrosanct as they
should be, more or less.
This, however, is not the first time the President
has invited distinguished leaders in business, in
dustry and finance to come up and see him some
time
Frequently such conferences have been held dur
ing the past five years.
Indeed, Mr.. Roosevelt has for his everyday con-
venience and consultation national advisory coun-
Gil made up of men of the outstanding stripe as
these five who met with him Tuesday.
The trouble has always been, however, that if
his business advisers charted out for him course
along which they would have the government in
cline, the White House pitched it in the pigeon
holes.
For that reason, excitement quickly dies down
over the prospect that the business jam will not
be cleared since this meeting of the financial mo-
guls and the administration chieftain.-Charotte

A HORRID WORD

That l per cent charge for old age insurance
which comes out of employees pay envelopes each
week is not, the Treasury has ruled, an allowable
deduction for income tax purposes. In fact, tech
nicaly, the charge is an income tax, hence is no
more deductible than last years income tax.
The ruling is all right, but the per cent charge
is badly called Most wage-earners and salared
persons would realize, if they stopped to think a
moment, that it is in reality an insurance premium
and that insurance premiums paid are not deduc-
tibe from income. But they will not like its being
called an income tax. Coupled with reports that
the government is expanding these premium re-
cepts for its daily bread, putting up its own bonds
in exchange, it may sound very much as though the
government is the one which has forgotten that
they are insurance premiums and not taxes. In
any event, we'd feel much better about the ulti-
mate safety of our old age insurance if it were in
the hands of some private insurance company
which some government required to maintain legal
reserves Charlotte News. ~~-~--r'-

.aY RODNEY BUTCHER.

MISS MARGUERITE LELAND,
the Presidents confidential
secretary whose loyalty and de-
votion to her boss are only
matched by the esteem in which
she is held by those who know
her, has been writing an article
on a day in the life of the Pres
ident for national magazine.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who has enjoyed
thinking of himself as an editor
and writer ever since he served
on the Harvard Crimson, insisted
on giving her plenty of help. In
fact, he did so much work on the
article that one of the magazines
editors facetiously suggested that
it be signed

w SHIN N---The Presi-
w dents suggestion that industry
sit down with government to
chart probable demand and pro-
duction for a year ahead still
doesn't seem to make sense to
anyone in Washington who doesn't
believe in the old NRA.
Or perhaps it is more accurate
to say, as does one of the admin
istration's economists, that the
more it means the less sense it
makes, and vice versa.
It seems likely that nothing
more will be heard of the idea.
Advisers associated with the adj
ministration's recent policy of at
tack on monopolies and concentra-
tons of economic power were
taken completely by surprise.
They were forced to admit that if
Roosevelt were taken too seri-
ouSly his press conference remarks
would necessarily indicate a sud-
den, ineXplicable about-face. .,
Experience to date has shown
that when the high-powered lob
byists and lawyers of large COR
porationS sit down with govern
ment representatives to map out
market conditions, the inevitable
result is restraint of production
and price fixing. 1,
ANY such course as that would
be likely to make all business
monopolistic instead of only 40 or
50 per cent of it as now" eX-
ploded one prominent Roosevelt
adviser.
Others jumped promptly to the
conclusion that Donald Richberg,
former MIRA chief who clings to
some Blue Eagle theories, had
been seeing the President. AS a
matter of fact, he had. Suisse
quently Richberg became the only
important administration adviser
TO endorse the presidential prd-
poSal.

paid the highest Of wages; he
worked his men comparatively
short hours; he advocated the par

cease to be a benevolent employer
and become 4 diabolical tyrant?
Has Mr.. Ford cut the pay of his
