patriot before the house ways and
means committee, defending his
plan to provide up to 5000 a month
to persons over go by a 2 per cent
transaction tax.
Said Political Theorist Townsend:
''If we can't establish a higher
standard of living for the submerged
one-half of our people than $40 a
month, then certainly we're not go
ing to be able to maintain our type
of government much longer.
Said Economist Townsend: 1--WE
have not scratched the surface of
our wealth and productive ability"
(He added that pensions might even.
tually be boosted to $500 month";. /
Said Patriot Townsend: 81 wish
you could hear the expressions of
contempt against this great govern
ment of ours, government ! love
and cherish with all my heart, a
government ! would die for If
this government is going to survive,
it must not give occasion to these
people"
Crux Of DR.. Townsend's argument
is that the profit system needs over
hauling to avoid a spread of SUBJ
versive agitation prompted by pow
erty. Well do committeeman know
that U. S. poverty breeds ill will,
but there is serious doubt that Town
sendism will receive congressional
precedence over the social security
revision plans President Roosevelt
offered several weeks ago, and
which the California doctor terms
'the height Of absurdity."
