It has not been usurped Washington, Senator Harrison said: The American “Lobby” League, composed in most part of a group of griping, disgruntled politicians masking under the name of the American Liberty League, is undertaking to tell Congress what legislation is should enact. It becomes increasingly apparent that this band of sturdy super-patriots is ready to take over both the legislative and judicial functions of the Pederal Government and perhaps to assume control of the executive function as well. Under this new arrangement there will be no more Senatorial investigations like the Wall Street investigation of 1933, in which the American people were given a peek at the fi- nacial wizardry of some of the eminent gen- tlemen who are now directors and contribu- tors of the American Liberty League. There will be no more Congressional probes like that of last summer, which showed that the privileg- ed interests spent conscienceless sums trying to defeat then pending legislation. The League’s platform is plain. The main plank is to undo all that the Roosevelt Ad- ministration has done for the benefit of hon- est business, the farmer, the wage earner, the home owner and the underprivileged citizen ' generally, and to return control of the Nation's and financial affairs to the same { and rapacious elements whose appetites brought on the depression. | doubt.—Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch. 4 jent Roosevelt’s courageous and con- | 3 structive course will not be diverted by the pluto " propagands of this‘group or any (Los Angeles News) |Jewel of government” certainly are not speaking for the people; they are battling for the return to |power of the privileged minority.
