It was his neighbor, Gov. Roy L. Cochrane of Nebraska on the Democratic ‘National Committee's nation-wide broadcast, who brought out the differ- ence between Landon, the Governor of Kansas, and Candidate Landon, who is seeking the highest office in the land. Governor Cochrane recalled that it was Mr. Landon who in 1934 said he had been co-operating to the fullest with the Roosevelt Administration but who now as a candidate for the Presidency was crying against the New Deal. It was Mr. Landon who was re-elected Governor of Kansas on a 100 per cent New Deal platform, Mr. Cochrane recalled, but who as Candidate Landon strikes out at the sins of the Roose- velt Administration. Kansas, under Landon regime, stands 24th in the list of states in population and is burdened with taxation, Neighbor Cochrane from Ne- braska remarked, but Landon's Kansas stands 15th in the list of states enjoying benefits under the Roosevelt Administration from the Federal govern- ment. It is significant that since the facts have come out on the Federal relief benefits to Kansas, Governor Landon has said nothing about his record of balancing the Kansas budget, and Republican pub- licity along those lines has entirely died out. Silence is sometimes the better part.of wisdom But it was Governor Charles H. Martin of Oregol who put the finger on Mr. Landon’s compromising | and extremely vulnerable position. Praising the Kansas Governor as a personally fine gentleman, the Oregonian commented: | “But Governor Landon is like the lamb leading the wolf pack—the same old Wall Street wolf pm:kJ which is represented by Andrew Mellon, Ogden Mills| and Herbert Hoover, who have through the years attempted to hamper the development of natural| resources for the benefit of the whole people.” | “Are these the new liberals?” demanded Governor Martin, in pointing out that Landon was described | as the man who was swinging the Republican party to a more liberal thought. Therein is found the answer of why in one| breath Governor Landon shouts about state rights and in the other asks Federal control of agriculture ! and a Federal setup of social security. Like a puppet | on the string, the gentleman from Kansas can dol naught else but what the boys behind the Republican throne tell him to do. The old wolf pack who ran this country to ruin during the Hoover regime is right in there again, and in full cry. Not only would they sacrifice the masses of the people of this nation on the altar of greed, but, if he stands in their way, they will hamstring Mr, dispatch, The present campaign is not one of Republicans Landon with “the same| ‘mnjorny of the American people under the leadership | of Franklin Delano Roosevelt against the wolf pack of special privilege which has selected poor Governor | Landon as the lamb to be led to the slaughter. If the voters do not slaughter him in November, then the pack will make the kill themselves later if he should attempt to stand in their way. i The prediction of Congressman Harlan, made at Anchorage, that military’ necessity eventually will re- sult in a mass road system in Alaska in order to estab- lish ground communications with the various bases is more than an ideal dream. . Many of us will live to see it. There's a bright star in the skies for Alaska when the reports promise the salmon pack will go well over the six-million-case mark. g Who was it that said, you never miss the water till the well goes dry? Father Coughlin’s Facts (New York Times) There are occasions when TFather Coughlin’s speeches gain such wide attention that it is a mis- take to permit some of his statements of fact to pass unchallenged. His address before the Townsend con- vention at Cleveland is a case in point. In it he ‘don]r. among other things, with our war loans to | Europe, with the rise of the national debt under Mr. Roosevelt, and with the authority of the Federal Re- serve Banks, and in it he made the following state- ments. Concerning the war loans: | “We canceled $40,000,000,000 of European war debts and repudiated $11,000,000,000 more of post-war debts, simply to save the international bankers, simply to save the gold standard.” The plain fact is that the grand total of all our| pre-Armistice and post-Armistice war loans amounted to $10,338,058,352.20. In the settlements made for the repayment of these obligations we charged our | debtors less than commercial rates of interest. nane of the principal of any debt was canceled or re- duced. Against the $10,338,058,352.20 loaned by our | Government, the contracts made with our debtors | called for the payment of $22,259,040,056.27 in princi- | pal and interest Concerning our own domestic debt: | “He who promised to drive the money changers from the temple (Mr Roosevelt) has built up the | greatest debt in all history, $35,000,000,000, which he | permitted the bankers the right, without restriction, to spend.” The fact is that the net increase in the national debt under Mr. Rosevelt amounts to $10,800,000,000. The rest of the present debt has been inherited from | earlier Administrations. The bulk of the increase under-Mr. Roosevelt has been due to relief of unem- | ployment. None of the Government’s money has {been given to the bankers except in the form of loan made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. These loans have carried interest at 4 per cent and! higher. The interest has accrued to the benefit of | the United States. Of the total amount loaned to| bankers on this basis, more than 85 per cent has |already been repaid. Concerning the authority of the Federal Reserve| Banks: ) i “Ever since the Founding Fathers established our Constitution it appears that Congress has the right to coin and the right to regulate the value of money. Both Democrats and Republicans have forfeited that right until today the Federal Reserve Banks, like Con- | gress, have the right to coin and regulate the value of money.” Federal Reserve notes are not money coined out of thin air at the discretion of the Federal Reserve Banks. Under the law they must be backed by gold| certificates, representing gold actually held by tho‘ Government, and by other security specifically defined by act of Congress. Nor do the Federal Reserve Banks “regulate the| value of money.” The most important instrument of | tral banking system is the sale or purchase of assets —principally Government secirities—in the open market. Under the Banking Act of 1935, authority in this matter is vested in a Federal Open Market Com- | mittee, which “consists of five representatives of the Federal Reserve Banks and seven members of the | Board of Governors o1 the Federal Reserve System— | President by and with the consent of the Senate. | In case any of them survived the Joe Louis |affair the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati against Democrats.
