are distributed by organizations
which make no secret of their ad-
miration for the dictatorship form
of government"
Every one should remember, he
said, what the co~llaborative .un-
Outstanding between communism
and Naziism has done to the pro-
cesses of democracy abroad"
The crowd in the flag draped
academy stood and cheered wild
ly when Mr.. Roosevelt appeared
on the arm of Franklin D. Roose-
welt, Jr.
James A. Farley, former Demo-
cratic national chairman, and
Edward ]. Flynn, Farley's suces-
sor, were among those on the
platform.
The cheering and chants of I'VE
Want Roosevelt" continued f r
about four minutes.
Cheered BY Thousands
Mr.. Roosevelt had motored to
the hall from the special train
that brought him from Washington,
through cheering thousands that
massed about Pennsylvania sta
ton and lined his route through
Greenwich village, over the Man
haitian bridge and through Brook
Ign. The crowds in Brooklyn were
four, five, six, and more deep on
the sidewalks.
Among those who rode in the
Presidents open car to the Acad-
envy we're Representatives Della
ney and Cullen of New York; and
Frank Kelly, democratic leader in
Brooklyn, and Flynn.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the country
would take warning" from the
fate of the nations great and small
which, he declared, had gone down
in ruin or been backed against the
wall because the reactionary men
who led them could not see the
real danger that threatened"
"They we're afraid of losing their
own selfish privilege and power,'
he declared. They feared the le-
Ultimate forward surge of their
own common people, more than
they feared the menacing might
of foreign dictators.'
Most republican leaders in this
country had bitterly fought" the
forward surge of average men
and women in the pursuit of hap
piness" during the last seven years
the President continued.
"No, No"
Cries of "No, no" greeted his
inquiry as to whether the people
wanted to abandon the protec-
ton of peoples savings from frau
dulent manipulators, the curling
of giant holding companies that
despoiled investors and consumers
alike, by delivering them into the
hands of those who have fought
these reforms" 2
The President said the nation
was becoming strong and pur-
p%oseful."
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the
true sentiment of the republican
leadership" had been disclosed by
"a prominent leader of the Phila-
delphia bar" who, he added, said
in a republican campaign speech
the other day that the Presidents
only supporters were "paupers,
those who earn less thar $1,000
a year and aren't worth that, and
the Roosevelt family"
Can the republican leaders de-
n.y." he asked, that this all too
prevailing republican sentiment is
a direct vicious appeal to class
hatred and continued: .
For himself, the President add
ed, he believed that when Ameri-
cans cross this dividing line of
500 a month, they do not lose
their devotion to social and eco
nomic justice"
He said he was fighting with
all my heart and soul" against
class hatred.
Il am fighting for a free Ameri-
ca-for a country in which all
men and women have equal rights
to liberty and justice.
II am fighting against the re-
vlval of government by special
privilege-government by lobby
