Gone Are TIE Days..............

It must be fairly obvious to
all thinking Americans that the
New Deal is a rank failure. In
deed, it must be most clear to the
erudite New Dealers themselves
that their policies have all failed
in a miserable degree. Now, as
November 8 draws near, it is
imperative that EVERY VOTER
recognize the New Deal for what
it is and use democracy's strong
est weapon, the ballot, to discon-
tinue it.
Harold Lord Varney, writing
in the current American Mer-
Eury, states in the last para
crap of his article: 6. it is
time for him 1.-THE American
business mani to come to the
grim realization that the most
potent and relentless enemy of
the American Capitalistic sys-
TIM is the President of the United
States. !"
Mr.. Varney is an expert on
American politics and n s
opinions carry weight.
If we were making general
conclusions it would not be far
wrong to say that the prime
reason for the New Deals fail
ure is it's un-Americanism. At
it's offset the New Deal bore all
the marks of being another
phrase of progressive democracy.
The early policies: the bank
holiday, the first relief, the at
titude toward business I'll
were inikeeping with democratic
principles. That the country
approved of the early New Deal
policies was apparent from the
|, enthusiasm = shdHns BY Rersops
IN an walks of TIE. Industrial
leaders; small business men and
workers were loud in their
praise of President Roosevelt.
Here was q man who knew what
the country needed, and who
WIS willing to work within the
CONSTITUTION and according to
dbMoeratic' principles to carry
CRY out; his policies. Few
nfRsidehts ever had the solid
baakinS of the country as did
FfRnklin Roosevelt.
Why did the president see fit
to do q right about face? Why
did he Dee At to turn from Ameri-
camisni tot wanton radicalism?
THE questions are not. easily
answered: Perhaps the first
pSlicis Of the president were
merely a1front.
Many political observers be-
lieNe that the presidents ad-
visers put him on the wrong
path. Whatever the case, the
New Deal led by Roosevelt be-
came more and more persistent
in it's hatred of democracy.
Restraints were put ON business.
Debts piled up by the billions.
Wild schemes took the place of
careful planning. Relief agencies
became honey combed with
graft. The Supreme Court was
denounced as a tool of big bust
ness. Confusion became the or
der of the day.
Will the New Dealers admit
that they have failed. Most sure
ly not. They cover up their trail
of failures with thick applica-
tions of cleverly worded propa-
ganda a n d heresy-hunts. They
go blithely on adding to the al
ready huge number of plumbers.
How is the best way to fight
this attack upon Americas
principles? By going to the
polls and voting to discontinue
1t. 1t can be done here. This is
America, where ballots rule in
stead of bullets. Vote for men
who will give you good govern
ment, not a wasteful, alien form
OF confusion.
1t can be done; the days of
good government can be brought
BACK. Let's do it.
Be wary of candidates who
layishly promise to turn Ameri.
ca into an Utopia by spending
billions. Watch for the man who
says Il am 100 per cent for the
New Deal. " Construe his remark
to mean: Il am 100 per cent ,fC
confusion and waste. ~
