If it was not the efforts of the Administration and resulting legislation that brought about the promising results, what was it? Would they say the measures of prosperity we have obtained is due to their efforts to defeat the bill aimed at elimination of parasite holding companies which have milk- ed the operating utility companies and com- pelled extortionate rates on light, power and heat? Was it in spite of the correction of the banking inquities, the insurance of deposits, the social security legislation, the act which safeguards stocks and bonds, the salvation of two million urban and farm homes, the restoration of farm purchasing power and the many measures akin to these? Was it the resurrection of Herbert Hoover and the indication of his willingness to accept another White House term that heartened the people and lifted business out of the red?

These gains, and others, are summarized in the report which Mr. Roper published recently. Along with them goes a resume of some of the less favor- able aspects of the year's record. Important problems remain unsolved, and it is interesting to note how many of those which are singled out for attention by Mr. Roper arise from substantially the same set | of causes. Why are the railways still failing to earn| their fixed charges? Why are new issues in the capital investment market still at a low level?

Looking over its accounts for 1935 it found that 3,750,000 cars and trucks were turned out and the sales floors are going to be nearly cleared when the new stock comes in this month. The plan for this year calls for construction of 4,500,000 cars and| trucks. The industry is booming along at a pace comparative with any of the so-called normal years. The truck manufacturers alone turned out 760,000 | machines and came within a short range of the boom year of 1929 when the peak was 826,817 units.

THE REAL STORY With the campaign beginning to get underway and various and sundry charges being hurled abroad' in the land, it is well now and then to examine the| general picture and keep the fundamental issues| A. Farley, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, recently, when he said: Traditionally, the minority party is com- pelled to make a campaign. If it hasn't got a real candidate to put forward, it will put forward a straw man. And if it has no issues of its own, it must do what it can by calling names and viewing everything with alarm. The Republican National Committee, which has organized a finance committee bristling with the names of chiefs of huge corporations and others synonmous with great wealth, may present reports of modest col- lections and modest expenditures. But work- ing with the Republican organization are a dozen agencies whose campaign expedi- tures do not figure in Mr. Fletcher's reports; that muilti-mililonaires’ club, misnamed the Liberty League, is only one example of the agencies that are pouring out money to break down Roosevelt, interspersing with typo- eritical claims of non-partisanship. There is nothing new in this situation. QOur adversaries have invariably had the support of those men and those enterprises which have fought the aspirations of the common man and which has never been concerned with anything beyond the unfair privileges they were accorded by subservent Republican administrations. That situation dragged us into the panic period out of which by a legislative has overshot its mark.

Dramatic recitations and read- ing aloud, if persisted in, will usu- ally, overcome the fault. ppar- Invitations usually read “tem’ for preparation. Heads of big business and public utilities may postpone ambitious plans, for the stars impart an un- certainty that is due partly to pos- sible legislation. Congress is to furnish sensational incidents, but in the midst of do- mestic problems affecting relief and governmental projects attention will be diverted by sensational world events. A European ruler’s reign is to end suddenly. International relations for Uncle Sam may be decidedly scram- bled for a time. Under this configuration there is likely to be intrigue and deception. Secret plans of the opposition poli- tical party are to disturb heads of governmental affairs in many of the states. i Again the seers point out the ele- ment of surprise in events of the coming months.

Nothing could be sillier than that statement. Everybody knows that the success of any administration must be coupled with business prosperity. It is not against business that the Presi- dent has been tilting. The legislation he sought was aimed not at industry but at the abuses being practiced by unscruplous indi- viduals and combinations whose monopolistic activities were ruthlessly directed to the ex- ploitation of tne people and the destruction of their small competitors. You do not need to take my word for that. If you look up the statistics you will find that even during the boom years that led up to the crash of 129 there were ten times as many business failures than there have been since the ad- vent of the Roosevelt Administration. During the depression period, of course, there were many more. I do not include among these the crash of banks.
