past Is years 1--WE, the people" have sur
rendered the rcins Of authority to the polit-
clans The people elected a Democrat for
President in 1892. -Four months later, ON the
day he took office, President Roosevelt an
nounccd his "NeW Deal" and he hastencd to
use it as an instrument and curc-al for
everything that WaS-or might be the matter
with the Federal Government.
"Wc the People" have deserted the tradl-
ton that no President must serve more than
two terms Franklin -. Roosevelt was accept
ted as perpetual ruler Prcaidnt Truman
has time and again affirmed his purpose to
continue the policies of MIR. Roosevelt, and
so far as he is concerned he has used all the
power he could command to enforce Federal
bureaucratic, aut0cratic, and deSpOtic con-
troll of the Nation. All these un-dcmocratic
methods of New Deals were introduced into
the Government by Roosevelt. Truman uses
the same old tools.
In the recent conflicts President Truman
insisted that eve cannot quarantine infla-
ton" and despite the part he has played in
helping labor leaders boost wages he hOppcd
all over "thC spectacular increases IN the
prices of manufactured goods -. far in cX-
cess of anything which industry needs to
earn generous profits and obtain full pro-
duction The increases are so large be
cause the formulas for computing them
are bonanza formulas" He insists that pro
ducts like automobiles, washing machines
and rcfrigcratOrS must not be raised III
price. Nevertheless, he was the Leader who
made it possible for strikers to win strikes
i'm those industries. Under methods OF mis-
rule our whole economic system has broken
down.
President Truman failed to make his
OPA a logical instrument of control. The
history Of more than Is years shows that
the Government boards, commissions, brass
hats" and administrators haven't hclpcd.
All the spectacular schemes from the
time of Hugh Johnson and his NRA down
to the control of foods and household ne
ccssitirS-hv Truman and BoWlcS, turned
out to be llopS.
The Governor, Of the States, Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike, have been
pleading for the return of Constitutional
State rights, taken away from them IN the
years since 1893. Since that year the Nation
al debt has jumped from around 80 billion
10 nearly 500 billion dollars. Taxes have been
more than "inflated" have actually
''ballooned" In short, thousands of part
culars could be added to show that the New
Deal is still going strong, though in disguise
Tricky politicians. alI the way from Amcu
can Communists to radical Republicans arr
to blame for most of the ills and tragic talI
urcS of thr Federal political leaders.
