To the Editor of The Star:
Orchids to Bergman for that cartoon
IN last Sundays Star, showing Dewey
trying to wean away the kittens Of
the New Deal from Roosevelt, by Of
fering. no doubt, to feed them better"
Yes, he offers campaign speeches"
whereas the Chiefs" kitties flaunt tails
in the air-accomplishment against
promises.
Mr.. Dewey Is a promising young man,
but ne is unfortunate in the past sterile
performances of Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover before the New Deal kitties were
born. He has made a good Governor
OF New York, but at one time he and
his future Secretary Of State are sup
posed to have been isolationists, which
would mean q lack of Imagination in
national security.
This Is too serious a time to have to
wait for Mr.. Dewey to acquire national
and worldwide experience.
HI. GUEYDAN.
To the Editor OF The Star:
The enthusiasm and general approval
by the British press and public with
which their governments proposal for
security from the cradle to the grave
has been received is sorrowful ad-
mission OF the loss of the sturdy inde-
pendence which made Great Britain
great
No. longer can they chant "Britons
never, never shall be slaves" for they
voluntarily have accepted shackles for
promised but unobtainable security.
The decadence of a once great people
Is deplorable tragedy.
However, the same fate can overtake
us. for the seeds of the same decay al
ready have been planted in the United
States by the New Deal by its hostility
to business and its encouraging class
warfare.
Quoting from a letter to the Wall
Street Journal by William A. Rhodes, NJ
the consensus OF employers, employees,
independents, farmers, retailers. chiefly
and OF all other citizens is that they
do not possess the qualifications to meet
their individual problems in the years to
come" and re-elect Mr.. Roosevelt, then
we are hopelessly admitting our own
decadence. G. H. HEITMULLER.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Now that Mr. Churchill has indorsed
fourth term by emphasizing his per-
sonal friendship for Mr.. Roosevelt. the
question arises. what considera ton was
given for this Endorsement? Was it
merely additional lease-lend material or
what? HENRY C. PARKER.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Last Saturday night I heard a heck
OF noise and. on checking its source, I
found 1t was coming from the New Deal
stable and Teamster Dan Tobin was
really cracking his whip and storming
about how good are the New Deal mules
He didn't tell about trading the Texas
mule on because he would not straddle
the cotton row to pillow 1t up Nor did
he tell about the Iowa mule that the
nit flies made SO jittery that he stomped
lot OF little pigs to death. He seems
to be proud of the new mule from Mis-
souri, and thinks he has the best pair
ever. He didn't admit he swapped
mules in the middle OF the stream.
Then out Of the stable came the Old
Champ. chawing the bit and admitting
he is four years Older but can't talk
from both sides of his mouth at once
I've met some who think he is past mas
ter at that. He complained someone
had tried to slip worm-eaten chestnut
IN his oats. Now listen at this: He said
he we'll remembered the mess he had
to clean up when he took over the stable
Between you and me, he never has
cleaned out the stalls: he just dumps
twenty billion dollars worth of New
Deal hay on top OF the mess. What
mess still to be cleaned up!
Now fellows, just take walk to the
New Deal stable lot and look the stock
over. They look like what you see in
the trading alley on county court day.
Some spawned, some with the lampas.
few blind in both eyes. And notice
that stump sucker over in the corner
You name them, I don't want to be
called a liar. H. A. HOLLINS.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Would it not be wise to make Fala
member of the cabinet? We need a
watchdog of the Treasury"
JAMES EMERY BROOKS.
Glen Ridge, N. J.
To the Editor Of The Star:
cannot resist the temptation to
congratulate you on your editorial of
September %, commenting on Gov
Dewey's speech at San Francisco, which
you entitled "Deweys New Deal
You have grasped that which many
others overlooked and that is that as
far as Mr.. Dewey went there is no
perceptible difference between Gov.
Dewey and the President as far as their
economic objectives are concerned" and
that their only difference. and it re-
mains to be clearly defined, has to do
with the methoic of offo ipip0 thair nh
