RECOVERY CREDIT DENIED NEW DEAL Knox Says Supreme Court and Business Alone Brought Change. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 3.—Credit for the country’s recovery trend, in the opinion of Col. Frank Knox, men- tioned as a Republican presidential possibility, belongs probably in en- tirety to the Nation’s business men and to the Supreme Court. Col. Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, told the Associated Busi- ness Papers, Inc., last night: “As a matter of fact, business began to improve with the voiding by the Su- preme Court of the United States of that New Deal cure-all for business, the N. R. A" Col. Knox said that rather than have $4,000,000,000 of Federal relief funds be expended for that purpose, he favors using it as a war veterans' bonus. He predicted that the Roosevelt ad- ministration will authorize payment of the bonus, but said: «what I should like to see done, and | what ought to be done, is that such part of the remaining $4,000,000,000 as is not necessary for relief should be canceled and not spent at all. “I would rather see the veterans| prepaid such sums as are justly due them out of the $4,000,000,000 than see it wasted or used for partisan pur- "New Deal Held Socialistic. He asserted that President Roosevelt, | the New Deal and socialism are in-| separable. “In a democracy such as ours,” he sald, “dictators can gain power by lur- ing the people with unfulfillable prom- ises—and they can retain it by doing two things: “1. By stealing the people’s money and being ‘generous’ with it. «“g, By encouraging dissension among the people and preaching that private ownership is a capitalistic theory when, as a matter of fact, it is no such thing. Private ownership is & teach- ing of the Bible.” The recommendation of Tugwell in Los Angeles October 28 at a meeting sponsored by Upton Sinclair's group, for a farmer-labor alliance, was cited by Knox as & recommendation for a “Soviet alliance.” “For whom did Undersecretary of Agriculture Tugwell speak in Los An- geles?” asked Knox. Sees Roosevelt's Aid. He then quoted from President Roosevelt’s address, also in Los An- geles, which Knox interpreted as one which “coaxed an alliance of New Dealers and Socialists.” “What clearer expression of a pact between Socialists and Roosevelt New Dealers do the American people need before understanding the purposes of Mr. Roosevelt?” he asked again. “The words are plain enough—'common ground * * * common road * * * each making some concession as to form and method.’” “It is not a pleasant thing to say,” he continued, “but it seems to me that by now it would be apparent to every one that President Roosevelt is determined to make over this Nation ©f ours to suit himself * * *. “1, for one, do not believe Mr. Roose- welt is a straw man. I thoroughly be- lieve he knows what he wants done: ® + * but straw man, or strong man, the policies of this gdministration are his policies * * *. “The New Deal he gave the Ameri- ean people was not the 1932 platform of the Democratic party—a platform which, to use his own words, he ‘ac- cepted 100 per cent’ and proceeded to wreck after being sworn into office. “The New Deal he substituted is his deal. The words ‘New Deal’ are his words. The Tugwells of his adminis- tration are his appointees * * *. “I say to you in all earnestness that it is my belief that the only body which has kept this Nation from be- coming a bureaucratic autocracy dur- ing the present term of President Roosevelt has been the Supreme Court of the United States. “Chafing under the checks imposed upon them in their grasp for power, New Dealers have been conducting for many months a vicious, persistent and insidious campaign against the court * ¢ *. “These radicals know that if they can discredit it they will bring down the keystone of the arch of a demo- eratic form of government—and by so doing ‘undermine which cannot be di- yectly overthrown,’ to use a popular communistic phrase.” | Rock "’ ) Island —~ Al A‘RQONA Many delightful re- sort hotels and nearby guest-ranches.

PLAYSNONPREACH FULS OF ALCOAL Anti-Saloon League Finds Dramatics Convince Young People. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, December 3.—The Anti-Saloon League, which fought John Barleycorn for 42 years from soapbox and pulpit, has moved its battlefleld to the stage. The one-act dramas—with the “demon rum” as-their stock mustache- twirler—have proved of higher ‘“con- version” value, said George Y. Ham- mond, Los Angeles, director of the national dramatic program, than the eloguence of the league’s best plat- form spellbinders. “Young folks just won't come to & lecture, but they pack the church when we show the evils of alcohol in dramatic form,” Hammond explained. He is the author of several of the playlets, including ‘Prisoner at the Bar,’ hailed by dry leaders as the ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin' of the liquor traffic.” Hammond said the plays would be presented in every State by corps of actors supplemented by local talent in each community. ‘The plays, many based on actual qourt records, deal with the trials and tribulations of the dipsomaniac or stress aspects of the liquor trade which the league believes undesirable. The dramas leave no middle ground. The drunkard reforms or else the final curtain catches him disgraced and despairing. FINED $100 IN CRASH Driver Charged by Police With Leaving After Colliding.
