Zaton "newdeaiske ere" in povraeanie v
Store, breznoGrfne rozn1ere i'm = V krizo

Freda Kirchwey, XII urejuje revijo Nation, piSe V Mi, V
ocigled sedanjih zamotanih Kramer V tel dezeli, da je Roosevelt
tova era (doba) zatonila ze,prilicno predno je unrl.
Urednica omenjene revije je ea izned vodilnih osebnosti v
krogih takozvanib amerSkih lberalcev. Zato ie dobro, da je has
oa priznala to resnico.
Pokojni Roosevelt bi nedvonno delal danes aki bi Avel -
vse drugace kakor pa njegov praznoglavi naslednik Truman. Toda
ker je Roosevelt zapustil svoj new deal Sc predno Sc je vrIla
konvencija demokratske stranke leta 1916, je radi tega tudi tako
rad privoil, da je njegov naslednik lahko clovek, kakrSen je
sprejemljiv "a juznaSke burbonce in druge reakcionarje ter
graftarske masine njegove stranke V velikih seventh mesth.
In tako je bill Wallace zavrzen in izvoljen Truman.
Splosno mnenje med "iberaci' sedaj je, da hi slabsi tudi
Harding, Coolidge in Hoover ne mogli bti.
Omenjeni tribe predsedniki SO V krizah sal ostali v Washing
tonu - ali pa si ma "pojasnjevalne" ture, ko je nastala kaka si-
ska V dezei. Tako je storl tudi Harding, predsednik nevsecnega
spomina in ma tSi svoji govorniski turf tudi umrl.
Toda Truman je sci V najbolj kriticnih dneh naSe notranje
ekonomije ter V najbolj napeth odnoSajih med unijo premogar-
jew ter plutokracijo ma pocitnice v Florido in cd tam, deloma pa
il Washingtona ukazal unji premogarjev, da maj svoje clane pi-
drzi ma delu V rovih, namesto da bi stavkai ali pa si ma low. V
tenn svoem poskuSu, postati velik, 81 je preskrbel "pubEcitetO'
tudi S pogreznjenjem V Zapenjeni nemSki podmornici tk Floride
vec sto cevliev globoko in incl V tel "nevarnosti' intervju S cas-
nikarji. Nato SO ga sikali, kako Sc je kopal V bazenu zgodaj zju-
traj tk svojega hotela in potem cez dan V toplem floridskem
morskem obrezju.
Pravi drzavniki tako ne deajo. Tako Sc stavk ne reSuje. S
takimi metodami ne BIO Trumanova administracja prsla drugarn
kot V Sc vecje blamaze.
Kaj pa mai 81 premogarji misijo, &c jim tax predsednik ukaze
osati ma delu, neglede V kaksnih razmerah so primorani zveti?
Predsednik Truman je "~verbscina", XII smo 10 dobili pc po-
kopu 'newdealske' politike. Men glavni smoter je bill resitev
"nase sorte" kapitaizma, XII je bill OBJ nastopu pokojnega Roose-
velta V predsednisko sluzbo ma visku najvecje gospodarske pa
nike, kar sro jh Sc kedaj imei.
In sedaj, kajpada, Sc pricenja ve to spet cd kraja in vsi
skupaj nam ne morejo obetati drugega kot inflacjo ter novo
krizo. V "toazbo' pa nam zagotavljajo, da DO boil "mila" kakor
je bHa "zadnja depresija".

of Foreign Ministers, was strongly
opposed to any delay in its demands
for return of Eritrea and Italian
Somaliland.
He insisted postponement would
only be deterrent to real peace
and that both territories belonged to
Ethiopia for 5000 years before Italy
took them over go years ago.
He asSailed a 10-year trusteeship
which, he said, press accounts indi-

ton, his country hoped to bring it
up before the United Nations in
