Wallace Reveals
His True Self

"Erperience teaches as most to be on guard TO
PROTECT LIBERTY Wken the gorernment's purposes
beneficent"-Supreme Court Justice Brandes (Om-
stead VS.. L. S, 1929
A FAST hurryng world seems to have forgotten that
"A Henry A. Wallace late vice president of the United
States still has important job in Washington and that
when he speaks he speaks with official authority
Henry Wallace is the hangover secretary of conf
merce. He stopped nursing his convention wounds long
enough the other day to emit this bit of creeping
stic philosophy.
I'VE know through the long historical experience of
the free enterprise system that ii has been subject to
alternating cycles of boOms and depressiOns There is
not shred of evidence to show that this situation he
corrected by the unaded efforts of business that this
would be fair burden to place business bus-
nessmen.
Private enterprise does not and cannot final
responsibility for smooth functonng of economy
Therefore, THE GOVERNMENT is THE ONE AGENCY
through which il is possible in free enterprise system
for business and labor to expand production sound
basis without depression and without speculative booms.
VNHIS mugwumpy and utterly unhistorcal statement,
Il far the L. S. A. is concerned, made. nat
urally enough, in a letter to Senator Wagner of New
York the pattern of whose mind is 100 per cent German
social democratic for the New York senator having been
born in Germany cannot possibly think otherwise than
in terms of the state the do-oH the be-oH and the
tdkeGH
Henry Wallace, all know, has long been infected
with this German paternastic philosophy although he
hurries tell Senator Wagner that he does want his
views distorted by irresponsible charges of state social
ism planned economy similar red herrings
Wallace is merely engaged in his famous demagogic art
of lifting lefwng bucket of bilge water shoulder
without sping any Of the bge water from the right
wing bucket his other shoulder
INACTS-and not distorted facts-show us that TINS
l. country has built the most colossal and mobile
industrial power in the history of the world WITH TIE
MINIMUM OF GOVERNMENTAL HELP"
When Secretary Wallace says that there is not
shred Of evidence show that the free enterprise
from "depressions' without govern
mental aid he tempts TO dig up his own amentabe
record secretary of agriculture and father of the
paternalstc and happily unconstitutional AAA proof
that the government during the great Roosevelt depres
sion 9331940) did more to deepen that depression and
kill the very springs of private enterprise than anything
else.
In those dreadful years 100000 persons out
of work and 20000,000 were "reief"
Wallace and his Wagnerites "plowed under private
enterprise and all but killed it.
MIR WALLACE in his letter to Senator Wagner harps
WI continually business "depressions' and cycles
He evidently expects-as what state socialist does
no?-a complete collapse Of free enterprise after the
war.
That is not native American viewpoint.
The real BURLY American viewpoint would be a huge
postwar taX-sash abolish the treasury depicting bureau
cratic parasites do away with Russo German drectves
and ukases, LET PRIVATE ENTERPRISE ALONE,
minimize government employment and that the Wal
laces the Wagners and all other statesmen" with inn
ported ideas stay at home.
And also let this fact sink into the mind of every
American.
Wherever business has depended on the government
the PENITENTIARY STATE has ensued-Gemanv,
Italy and Russia for instance.
