Je! ferson, third President of the United States. He painted a vivid word pic- ture of the gradual rise of the Re- publican party on the premise of special privilege. It is a polit movement born of foreign nobility, he explained, which pelieves that the few should rule with the common peoples taking what is passed out to them. How manipulation by these special interests in the financial i« world led to the crash of 1929 was revealed by the speaker, in pointing out the system the big corporations had of selling worthless foreign stock to the American public to protect | their loans in foreign countries. The “Percentage Boys” The American people were broke in '29 because the percentage boy (meaning the monied interests) had all the money,” he said. “That was the situation confronting President Roosevelt when he went into office. Tt demanded action, and what did he do? He closed the banks of this coun- «try, and thereby saved the country and the Constitution. Had this not been done everything would have gone overboard. You didn’t hear the i money barons with their bags of gold crying then. No! They weré afraid everything was going to piec- es and it would have if Roosevelt had not acted. I have yet to see the at- t torney who will uphold the constitu- tionality of that act, yet there was Factory employment jumped to over |* 804 Mrs. Irving sailed for Seattle and Mrs. Behlke are passengers on no wail of unconstitutionality at that time. There was only prayer that Roosevelt would pull their chestnuts from the fire. This he did, and in so doing saved the country and the Constitution, and rehabilitated the whole people.” Reviews The Scene The speaker reviewed the embat- tled farmers, standing off the sher- iff who came to foreclose during those hectic days. “President Roose- .. velt would have been within his constitutional rights to call out the soldiers to force through those fore- ! closures,” ne said, “but he didn’t do , it because he knew that the soldiers would not fire, and if they did one shot would have rallied millions ‘o arms against a condition which was unbearable. Roosevelt knew it was unbearable, and he acted, as he promised, for the people. Only his courage and decisive action in the face of the conditions brought on by Republican special interests rule saved this nation from ruin.” He pointed to the bank deposit in~ surance act, the social security law. the securities commission and other remedial legisiation which had been - passed to rehabilitate the country. “Why holler about the treatment «iwhen the patient is well?” he asked. “Apparently the Republicans don't know the patient has recgvered.” Mr. Hellenthal eulogized the'great work of Andrew Jacksgh/ AS did James J. Connors, another’of the speakers. Mr. Connors said: “President Jackson served his country in many capacities but it was as President he did his greatest service by leading the fight against the money power of the country and bringing the government back to the people. “Our great President today has a | similar fight on his hands. Under the last Republican administration our country suffered the worst de- pression in its history, caused prin- cipally by the manipulatiol’s of the money. power ‘of the ‘0ountry. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was iriaugur- ated President there were millions of people on the bread line and in soup kitchens begging a bite to keen body and Soul together. President Roosevelt knew the cause of that condition and in his inaugural ad- dress he promised the people he would drive the money changers out of the temple and bring the govern- ment back to the people. Since that time he has sponsored laws and they were enacted: The deposit insurance law, to protect the people’s savings up to $5,000, the security exchange law which prohibits the sale |of worthless securities, and other les to protect the farmer and home owner. e ’ Bank Failures “During the twelve years of Re- publican rule, from 1921 to 1933, there were 10,000 banks failed in this riod fifteen billions of dollars were sent out of this country for foreig |bonds, the most of which are worth- {less. The Republicans were in powe: for three and one-haif years after the great stock crash of 1929"Which |started the depression, but they |never did anything to relieve the situation. We were told to have pa- tience, that everything would come out all right, that prosperity was |Just around the corner. And the peo- ple were patient, but, finding there was no leadership in the Republican party capable of handling this great emergency, they gathered behind the banner of Franklin. D:#Reosevelt who soon showed the country the way back to prosperity. “You didm’t see him peeping around any corners, he laid down a program and ifi'a’ short time the Ebrcad lines vanished, the soup kitch- |ens ‘were all closed, and he never |stopped until he pulled, the last man jout of the last diteh and put food [in his stomach, clothes on his back ;and put him to work. He never over looked a soul. The industrialists, the |bankers, the farmers, the business |man, the laborer, every soul in our |country was benefited by his con- | structive program. | Driven From Temple “But, my friends, he did this with- out the consent or advise of the imoney barons, and now that they |find that they are driven out of the I temple they are at a lo: 'get back in. They have no leader, they have no program so the only erv they can make is that the President |is spending too much money and | lalso that he is trying to wreck thc} | Constitution. | “Let us see how far they can get |with those contentions. The income lof the farmers was three billions of |dollars more in 1935 than in 1932. Listed bonds were eight billions of !dollars more in 1935 than in 1932. |Listed securities were 20+billions o |dollars mote in 1935 than in 1932. ‘Weekly payrolls in industry were one | hundred and twenty-two millions of | |dollars more in 1935 than in 1932.| 15,000,000 men and women more in 11635 than in 1932. And our national | !income in 1935 was 60 billions of dol- | lars compared to 38 billions in 1932. | Answer to Calamity Howlers | “These 1igures are the answer to ilhc calamity howlers and the money | barons who are crying about the! |country that we are spending too | |much money. They tell you that we' will bankrupt the country. Our na- | |tional indebtedness amounts to $238 | !per capita while ¥ngland’s national |indebtedness amounts to $717 per | |per capita. Our indebtedness would | |have to be 75 billion to equal the | |per capita debt of England. They | tell us that we are wrecking the | | Constitution. You would think by | their wailing that the Democratiz party had a monopoly on \mcmsu«i tutional laws. When we look at the (record we find that 67 laws were de- | clared umconstitutional during 145 years of our national life. Forty-two of those were passed by Republicau | | Congresses, twenty of them wers |passed by Democratic Congresses, four of them were passed by mixed Congresses and one was passed by |the first Congress which was non- |partisan. Ten of those acts were passed during President Grant’s ad- ministration, seven of ‘them during President Lincoln’s administration and six of them were passed under President Theodore Rdosevelt’s ad- ministration. Is there any one of Ilhose calamity howlers wno would {have the temerity to say that Presi- dents Lincoln, Grant or Theodore Roosevelt were trying to wreck the Constitution? No! But it makes a great difference whose ox is gored. Business Interference “They are gathering in bands all over the country howling against the government interfering with bus- iness. I wonder if they are sincere about this. According to the record of one of them™ doubt it. It sounds like propaganda to me. Goverm.r fanglon, of Kansas, who is serigusly pmentioned a9 4, candidate ror the Republican nomination for Presi- dent, in a message to Congressman William. P. Cole, chairman of the House of Representatives oil investi- | gating committee on November 13, 1634, stated that national and local benefits secured through cooperation of the Federal Government with oil producing states and industry have been one of the largest factors to- ward increasing the purchasing pow - er of the entire southwest during the past year, encouraging general busi- ness improvements, enlarging pay- | \ rolls, and providing that progress to- ward recovery can be made by hon- est coordinated efforts of states and federal administration and industry. Now this uoes not sound as'if they are very sincere about the govern- ‘ment keeping out of business, but, 'we must remember, Governor Lan- don was not considered being a can- didate on ‘the Republican tickét for President at the time hie sent this message to Congressman Cole. “Our dear friend the late Will Rog- ers, at a Chamber of Commerce meeting, here in Juneau, spoke vol- umes when he said tney were all making more money but they hated to have to make it under the Demo- crats. The money barons are the |ones who are wailing. Of course we one pays much attention to them. | “Why are the money changers wailing when they are reaping the Jfruits of the new deal? It is because | |they can see that by 1937 the coun- Itry ,will be beck on its feet with | everybody making money and they |know they cannot harvest that new | |crop of wealth unless they have con- | \trol of the Goverhment.
