Detroit evening times., 1945-08-09

DY THIS time most Americans have
I'D made up their minds one way or an
other about the significance of the reve-
lations published by Westbrook Pegler
concerning loan of 100000 made in
1889 by John Hartford, chain store
economic royalist," to Elliot Roosevelt
and liquidated in 1912 by "the Roosevelt
family" at cents on the dollar. Accord
ing to Mr.. Pegler, Elliott Roosevelt put
the bite on Mr. Hartford and, to clinch
the matter, called the late president at
Warm Springs to introduce him to Mr..
Hartford on the telephone. Still according
to Pegler, the elder Roosevelt thanked
Mr.. Hartford apparently in advance, for
taking care of his son. The settlement
of the $200,000 debt for $4,000 was made
by Jesse Jones on behalf of the Roose-
welt family.
CERTAINLY there will be no dsposi-
~ ton, even among those of lis who
found Mr.. Roosevelt considerably less
than perfect, to gloat over this evidence
of Grade G ethical standards in money
matters. The fact that president of the
United States who was millionaire in
his own right should be content with
such a settlement on behalf of his son
is one of those mysteries which experts
on the Roosevelt character must explain
as they can. Franklin d. Roosevelt was
public figure who is understood to have
had ambitious aspirations for place in
history. If in some matters his sensibil-
ties left something to be desired, that has
to go into the reckoning along with every
thing else, plus and minus. The rule of
de mortuis nil nisi bonunl cannot be in
voked to prevent full appraisal of the
New Deal and its leading personalities.
We cannot, as the Nee-Liberals used to
remind us, escape history.
The ability of most of us to arrive
at dispassionate judgment of Mr.. Roose-
velt's place in history during his life was
limited by the fact that for more than
IL years any American who undertook
to criticize Mr.. Roosevelts policies or call
Detroit evening times., 1945-08-09

in question any of his acts risked bar
rage of abuse which was at times beyond
belief. Tory, reactionary, Fascist, ap-
peaser, Roosevelt and conspirator
were words used indiscriminately to de-
scribe any citizen who might have his
doubts on OPA or the bookkeeping of
lend-lease. Mr.. Roosevelt himself de-
livered pious lectures from which we were
erpected to conclude that the presidents
opponents were men of evil purpose and
low morals, except when they were the
fat,ous dupes of wicked malefactors. He
was particularly contemptuous of those
who played fast and loose with "other
peoples money"
NOV, after President Roosevelt is dead,
~ we find him tolerant of transaction
which almost any of his horse-and- buggy
critics would have Stunned, if only to
avoid the appearance of evil. What ex-
plains it? Mr.. Roosevelt's undaunted
admirers, who are industriously making
him into legend, will laugh it off as the
ill-considered act of an importunate youth
Don't we all have trouble with our boys?
But that won't do. It doesn't explain
the late presidents failure to insist that
his son should not involve the White
House in such transaction. Still less
the Roosevelt family's failure to do as
millions of Americans, more hard pressed
than they, have done-pay the debt in
full
1t seems to us that this episode dove
tails with many others TO illustrate the
totalitarian phase of the New Deal, the
theory that neither law nor principle mat
ters as much as knowing the right peo-
ple' and having the necessary squeeze on
vulnerable men. This was a tendency
which alarmed many Americans long be-
fore Mr. Roosevelt's death. Because it
is important that Americans should know
all about the group which governed them
so long and pretended to a monopoly of
virtue, it is fortunate that the Elliott
Roosevelt-John Hartford transaction was
revealed.

Expressway Needed

THE Automobile Club of Michigan
Il makes a sound proposal in asking
immediate launching of the Detroit
Chicago expressway project. Prob
ably even as much as we need a mod
ern airport, we need an adequate
system Of roads, since we are still the
automobile capital of the world.
The Auto Clubs proposal has the
approval of the nation s road leaders.
A Detroit Chicago link in the ma
tional system of highways has great
significance.
Such an expressway would serve
something like 100000 persons.
1t would traverse Michigan, Indi-
ana and Illinois.
It would link Americas second
and fourth largest cities which in
normal times produce one eighth of
the nations industrial output.
The present roads between De-
troit and Chicago are as obsolete as
our city airport. NJ
They are unsafe as well as time.
consuming.
The Public Roads Administration
places the Detroit Chicago express
way just behind Boston Washington
road as the most needed highway i'm
provement In America.

RecOnVerf the Taxpayers

And of course the reconversion
must take the form of a REDUC-
TION in federal taxes as early as
the reduction can be made.
CONGRESS has done less than it's
~ duty in failing to ENACT pro-
gram of tax reductions at the session
now ending.
However, Senator George of
Georgia, chairman of the Senate
finance committee, has Just an
nounced that Congress is interesting
itself in the matter, and will con-
slider a tax program soon after Con-
gress reconvenes in October, with
the idea of putting reductions into
effect Immediately upon Japan's sur
render.
Let us hope that EVEN BE-
FORE THE END OF THE WAR,
the President and Congress will find
ways to tighten the tax burden by
demobilizing swollen bureaus and
otherwise putting an end to the
reckless and disastrous WASTING
of the taxpayers money.
Industry can not prosper and
maintain it's pay rolls simply by pro-
ducing civilian goods. People must
BUY the goods.

HAVING achieved miracles in the
~ production of weapons and war
materials, American industry is now
being partially reconverted to pro-
duction for peace.
AS production capacity ceases to
be needed for war purposes it is
turned, as rapidly as bureaucratic
timidity and ineptitude will permit,
to the production of civilian goods,
with the hope of accomplishing
smooth transition from war
economy to a peace economy with
minimum of unemployment and dis
tress.
The purpose is entirely admi-
Yable.
However, it cannot be accom-
plished by the reconversion of indus
try alone.
The PROSPECTIVE PUR-
CHASERS of the products of indus
try must be reconverted ALSO, if
the plan is to work.
THROUGHOUT the war we Amer
Il leans at home have been function
ing chiefly as taxpayers.
In order to meet the vast and
necessary expenditures of war-and,
unhappily, other great government
expenditures that are not necessary
at alive have been surrendering to
the government, in income tax de-
ductions and in variety of excise
taxes, so great a proportion of our
incomes that most of us have little
left after we have paid for our abso-
lutte necessities and fulfilled our
obligation to buy war bonds.
If automobiles, washing machines,
refrigerators, radios, etc, appeared
on the market in plentiful quantities
tomorrow, most of us would have
little money to buy them, because
the money we normally would use for
that purpose-the money left in our
pockets AFTER we have paid for
our necessities - is BEING
DRAINED AWAY IN TAX DE-
DUCTI0NS AND EXACTI0NS.
The only way we could buy the
long awaited and badly need e d
products of our reconverted industry
would be by cashing our war bonds.
And that is thing we are con-
stantly and rightly urged not to do,
since a nationwide cashing of war
bonds would seriously hamper the
treasury in financing the war.
Obviously then, the nation S
TAXPAYERS must be reconverted
along with the nations industry if
the hope of stable and safe transi-
tion from war to peace is to be
realized

Litigation In Local Courts

Two claims, totaling $500. against the Kamco Co. of Water bury, now in receivership, were ap- proved by Judge Frank P. McEvoy ollowing hearings in superior court yesterday afternoon. A judgment of $l 500 was entered for Domenic Guerrera and one of $500 for Fred erick O'Bernier.
 The two claimants are brother 1n-law of Paul J. Lord, who started the receiverShip proceedings against Abraham Katz, one of the organi- gers of the Kamco firm.
 A hearing has been set for March 5 in the federal district court in New Haven for Lloyd Sidney CleA Of Bantam, who earlier this week pleaded not guilty to a charge of failing to report for military in- duction. The 21-year-old youth re- fused representation by counsel and told Judge Carroll c. Hincks he would present the facts himself.
