pEmAGoGUEs AND DEMAGoGUERY OF THE
NEW DEAL

To those who know exactly who and what they
are this is the most appalling single fact IN the
whole Administration setup. That the President
should have as economic advisers Leon Henderson,
Isador Lubin, David Cushman Coyle and David
Miles, that he should derive his taxation principles
from Herman Olphant, and select as his partIcu-
larry intimate counselors both IN politics and poI-
cies, Tommy Corcorsn, Benny Cohen, Harry Hop
kins Robert Jackson, JEROME Frank and David
LienthaI-that these shoulr constitute the inner
White House group, strong enough not only To M
press their own regulatory ideas upon the nation
but able to nullify every conservative suggestion
from such men as Jesse jones' 10 reject every rec
ommendation from business source to make the
unfortunate Mr.. Morgenthau eat his own anti
pump printing words; to dismiss as unworthy Oh
attention the warnings Of the Vice President-re-
Election upon these things and knowledge that they
are so is the reason for the dependency existing
among the less radical Administration adherents'
They recognize that the extreme left-wing group
is in the saddle that its coseness the President
is such that no Roadway can be made against IT,
The belief is strong that at least some OF his advs-
ers do not really want business to recover. There
is no better evidence Of this than the glee with
which they preparing for the DeVh num-
which it is proposed to conduct this summer under
the guise of an anti-monopoly investigation Inc
full weight of the White House was exerted 10
get the resolution through in form that would
put the investigation in the fright hands Inc
design back of the proposed probe is ponucai'
the effect will be still further to paralyze industry
and retard recovery AS congress prepares 10 au
iourn the lack of confidence between the tres'-
dent and the Vice President is an open secret
They preserve surface cordially, but 1t dece"eS
no one. The Administration leaders in Senate ana
House are puppets who are told what 10 40 an"
do it, for personal political reasons, but WIN a"
absence of conviction that is thinly disguised
Against the Judgment of his professional pout'-
cal manager, Mr.. Farley, but urged on by the Co'
corans and Cohens, the President has iauirhe" q
punitive drive to eliminate from public NE pehio
| cratic senators who refused to follow him. Inc
| first effort, in Iowa, unsuccessful nut tfa'
seems merely to have whetted the apPetltes 81 the
amateurs for the fray. Secure in their White Rouse
support pfomuIgating their plans through mik-fed
and adulatory Journalists, they are hssihg' g'o-
rous experience and grand time u Tue true

could be gotten to the people, ~ IS HleoheeiVaoie

Evoraby The difficulty is that the facts are oh
| seured-frst. by the personality OF the President,
behind whom they hide; second by inc calculated
| dema9oeuery with which the whole New Deal is
saturated and of which the ahI-nloHopoy mVesti-
CATION this summer is fine exampie,--frank Kent
