PROMISE TO BUSINESS
"In 1896 ne promised
breathing spell for business.
Election over, the choke was
put on business again. In Chi
cago last Saturday the Presi-
dent said Il believe in free en-
tsrpriss and always haze This
was In the very shadow of
non-war business which he took
over with armed troops"
Bricker repeated Gov. Deweys
charge that President Roosevelt
was guilty of economic isolation
when he blasted" the London
economic conference.
''But what is worse" he con-
tinued, "the Presidents action
closed the door on international
conferences until the war broke
out. Germany was given a free
rein TO 60 ahead in her own
way"
He said the Roosevelt admins
tration has mo understanding
of small business and that "the
vast network Of government
owned war plants constitutes the
nucleus of state socialism"
q. s. IN BUSINESS
"The big question is," he con-
tinued, when Is Washington
going to get out of business
after the war? Mr.. Roosevelt
said nothing about that in
Chicago.
"Mr. Roosevelt's profession of
fondnesS for the profit system
and free enterprise concluded
Bricker, evil hardly sound con-
vincing to the regimented
farmer, to the controlled work
man, to the bankrupt business
man, TO the overtaxed corpora
ton, TO the white collar worker
whose salary has been frozen,
and to the American who sees
in the leftwingers surrounding
Mr.. Roosevelt, a motley crew of
reformers who would remake
America over In the pattern of
cOllectivism."

believed transportation of water

The investigation on the method
of financing the project was order

this month.
Details of the agreed-upon plan
would come from the White House.
