ism. Most Of such critics were

Roosevelt supporters.
If a presidential election were
held at the present time Roose-
velt would be defeated. He got
a real break just before the
last one. The veterans bonus
was paid. This money was put
into the hands Of Spenders. The
result was that every type of
business in the nation started
booming. The President got
the credit. This in spite of the
fact that he opposed paying it.
The public is forgetful. If
times are good at election time,
the party in power gets the
credit. If conditions are bad,
the party in office must take it
on the chin.
A notable habit Of the Roose-
veltists at the present time is
that they never deny or ex-
plain the charges against Roose-
welt. They merely try to apollo
gize or alibi.
The charges are specific. They
are that he has spent about 20
billions of dollars. That in
spending this money he has
financed it in such a manner
that he has only created a
worse depression than the one
we had when he became Presi-
dent. That his method of fl
nancing his recovery projects by
borrowing or selling taX-free
bonds only creates new billions
Of tax-free wealth, that it takes
money out of circulation, and
in the final analysis, its net
result is that it makes the idle
rich richer and the idle poor
poorer.
