NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SHALL WE VOTE FOR THE NEW DEAL?


What has the New Deal done for us-or 70 us?
Take your choice.
The New Deal has used the credit of the various
states and borrowed billions of dollars-more than
,+r,entv A part of this money was wisely used to
relieve poverty that threatened starvation. Much
Of Il was spent on jobs that were needless or could
have been deferred.
The New Deal has destroyed the source of mil
lions of Jobs by its senseless attack business
tho source of jobs-catering to the labor vote
And in borrowing this money with the credit of
the various states the New Deal has mortgaged the
holdings of every homeowner in the land. You
NAV be saving money from your weekly wages to
nav for home; but, without your consent, Wash
ineton has borrowed up to nearly $1,000 on the
average home and these homeowners will have to
nav this bill sometime . in taxes, direct or ind
rect in the future.
q And we have. right across the border line in
Canada a comparison that will be odious beyond
descrintion to the average New Dealer. That coun-
try had dentically the same depression as ours to
deal with, on smaller scale, and its national in
aebtedness was not increased during this prolonged
denression. And its unemployment record was re-
norted at the end of last year to be better than 1t
over had been in the history of that country. And
vio,,slv experienced no noticeable increase in our
national Indebtedness was ever required
But Canada had no immature planners and crack
Drained theorists, and the st-down strikes In that
country were stopped almost before they started.
Canadian officials enforced the laws which our
New Deal officials failed to do. Our northern neigh
bors were guided by the same democratic prnci-
pies that the United States has closely adhered to
~ hofo thn npa1 fool
charge of our affairs
And if the present administration had respected
the same policies it followed for the first five
months before the brair-trusters began their
wild experiments it is reasonably certain that
our business situation would be as good or better
than that which Canada boasts about at the present
time.
1--WE were the most lawless country in the world
when the New Deal took over our governmental
affairs and Attorney General Cummings has
complished remarkable results with his Omen; but,
due to unchecked violence, strikes and racketeer-
ing lawlessness has been the increase, and labor
troubles have been at an all-time high almost
throughout this entire period The very means
adopted by the New Deal for remedial purposes
during this depression have in many instances ag-
our difficulties them far worse, as

record.
When you go to the polls this election, be sure
to give some consideration to the future. Business
is the source of jobs. Business is the source of
Business must be encouraged, not
scourged and attacked, if our CHASTITY unemploy-
ment situation is to be remedied.
Investors are in business for profit Workers
take jobs for proft-wages. If the government
takes all the profit in taxes, there is nothing left
for expansion or promotion, the source of new
jobs.
There were many defects in our business system
previous to the New Deals airy-fairy schemes, but
never throughout our entire history have we faced
the dangerous situation with which we are now
confronted ~
Unless we can elect solid, substantial officials
who are willing to keep their oath Of office and
support the Constitution which has given US our
wealth and created standard of living for work
ers higher than any other country in the world
unless such honest, capable officials can be elected
to uphold American principles, we are headed
for the national scrap heap
Vote for fair deal and square deal-for of
fcials who are willing to help remedy the deplor-
able mess in which we are now foundering-the
result of wild harum-scarum experiments INDUCED
in by the New Deal theorists.-Bernarr MacFadden
in Liberty Magazine. 1855
