Babson Says u. s. Menaced
By Liquor Gambling; Vice
False Claims For Liquor

Boston, Mass, April 26.-Speal1ing
here last night, Roger w. Babson
said:
I am not now speaking for or
against any political party. l, how
ever, do say it is a disgrace, both to
the church and to democracy, to have
the best people of our country divide
their vote between the two major
political parties This is especially
true in connection with the liquor
problem
In saying this, l ara not referring
to the great harm liquor is doing to
our people, especially to the youth.
7 am not even thinking how this
harm may strike Our own homes and
ruin our sons and grand ons--yes,
and now, even the girls Of our fam
lies. No ono is obliged to drini. and
proper campaign Of education as
to- the evils Of liquor could save most
Of these young ncoplc. My reason FOR
being against the cGmmcrcializatiOn
of liquor, gambling, vice, and sim
lar evils which now flourish rndcr
both Republicans and Democrats is
,ccausc Of what these evils are doing
O democracy.
am Convinced that only by crus
~" tie tr?ffic in thcre evils G.
democracy be saved. I go further az
NY that the American people are
now fast approaching. the time Whcr
these evil interests will be runninF
the United States government. If our
Constitution is thrown over for Fas-
cism, it will be due primarily to the
liquor, gambling, vice, and Other
rackets. Even today, the liquor in
terests claim that they elected Presi-
dent Roosevelt and that it is up t
| him to protect them.
AS statistician, 'am especially
disturbed by the arguments WhicH
the liquor interests use in connection
with taxation They claim that liquor
is contributing about $500,000,000
wear to Federal and State treasures
They, however, are telling only one
half the story The other half is that
the liquor upon which they pay this
tax has SO undermined the character
of the American people, that our
Federal and State governments are
now required to pay out more than
$685. 100000 a year for relief 1t is
true that we would lose these excise
taxes if we crushed this hideous
traffic, but this loss would be more
than offset by what would be saved
IN relief after the traffic is crushed.
The same principle applies to race
tracks and other evils.
Newspapers and magazines might
temporarily suffer until legitimate
advertising should increase sufficient
| ly to take UP the slack If, however,
we have learned anything from the
mistakes made under prohibition, we
will not allow these newspapers and
magazines to suffer. We will see that
the government carries on an educa-
tional, paid-advertising campaign to
| develop the character, health, and
efficiency Of the American people.
4 This should more than offset any
! losses due to suppressing present
liquor, race track, and similar adver-

hurt real estate values. Statistics
show that this is an outright false
hood, spread about to fool the voters
Of the United States. Actual facts as
to the real estate situation show that
real estate values have been declin-
ing since these interests have again
been in the saddle. Surely the open
ing of liquor store in any neighbor-
hood usually hurts the rental value
of adjoining property. Commercial
lied vice and gambling have always
done real estate far more harm than
good. This can be proven in almost
every community.
The liquor traffic, gambling, and
similar evils have also been a great
contributing cause to unemployment.
Charts could be made showing the
correlation of the growth in their
growth and the increase in unem-
ployment. You, however, need not
bother with charts or statistics. Look
about your own community. You will

injunction prohibiting sales at lower
prices by L. S. Saunders, who as

tail businesses in several eastern

tend to establish monopoly, but on

cutting, has the opposite effect

Communists organization?' asked
Albert GroSsman of Bridges legal
staff.
1T is greatly influenced by the
Communist party. 1t has Commun-
ist president" Milner replied.
Milner, for four years an opera
tive of the Oregon national guard
intelligence department, swore that
he had gained access to the inner
circle of the Communist party, and
had seen Bridges pay dues, meet
with Communists. and heard Brid-
ges say of United States vessels:
I'VE will see day when we can
sink those damned things. They
are enemies of workers.
Dean Lands earlier had ruled
that the only questions involved
were whether Bridges was a men,
Der of the party, and whether the
party advocated overthrow of the
United States government by vio-
lence.
Major Miner answered both these
questions in the affirmative, both
ing direct testimony. and in presen-
tatio of a 77-page affidavit.
Immediately PRIOR to Miners
testimony, Bridges. in a one-min-
ute appearance in the witness chair
had dened that he is Communist,
and testified that he is an alien.
Miner related that as a national
guard operative he posed as "fel-
low traveller" of the Communist
party for four years in the north
west. He said former friends os-
tracized him but that he found it
advisable to surrender his Ameri-
can Legion button.
