Arthur Brisbane said Not unit
the Judgment Day will we know
what causes depression
You blame it on the fear o,
one man. The basic cause of de
preston is saving money anc
the ignorant many who finish
the job of stopping our indus
tries by saving billions of dol
lars a year, as they did las
year and the year before.
The spenderS keep Wheel
going. The savers stop them
We will soon become consciou!

be used at once or given away
but never delayed or loaned
Print this as my advice to the
President"
COURTLAND SMITH, New YOrE
your letter to the President
was excellent because it ex
pressed the feelings of a great
number of people who are moi
unfriendly to Roosevelt, but whc
are aghast and dismayed by hi!
actions during the last Il
months. Unless he promptly re
gains the confidence of these
people, they will turn against
him with real fury, and he viii
become the same tragic and con
fused wreck that Wilson be
came"
DIR. E. H. CONER, Dayton, Ohio
Congratulations. Open lettel
hits spot. Repeat in all issues
tomorrow.
z. M. MORAN, Butte, Mont
you Smacked the nail squarelS
on its head. The President, BY
an open, frank, wholehearteo
message, could change the pres
ent almost universal growing
state of fear and depression tt
one of optimism and hopeful
ness. I operate small, Strug
Cling business in the F'oShay
Tower, Minneapolis, Mimi, anc
Immediately following his mes
sage on eliminating fear, five
years ago, made business triI
from there to the Pacific Coast
and intermediate points.
THAT message was heartily
accepted without regards tt
class or party. Confidence tool
the place of fear. The outlool
was bright and promising, thu
people generally happy. Today
making the same trip, one find
an almost completely changed
outlook. People submerged il
fear, discouraged, confused ant
bewildered. Strange, but unfol
tunately true"
