“Liat” Charge of Coughlin Deplored But Roosevelt Used Same Term in Ad- dress, Lawrence Says. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. ATHER COUGHLIN'S use of the term “liar and betrayer” in re- ferring to President Roosevelt probably will come as somewhat of a shock to most people who are accustomed to speaking publicly at least in more restrained words about eandidates for political office. But Father Coughlin was addressing 8 political convention and was presum- ably speaking as & citizen in a po- litical contest and not as a member of the clergy. Somehow or other the word “liar” has become an integral part of political cam- Ppaigning and may be sald to be a permanent part of the political vocabulary of the day. Thus Presi- dent Rooseveli on May 14, 1935, in & speech to a farmers’ convention which gathered on the White House lawn, said: “As you know, a greut many of the high and mighty—with special axes to | grind—have been deliberately trying 10 mislead the people who know noth- ing of farming by misrepresenting— no, why use a pussyfoot word—by lying about the kind of farm program which this Nation is operating today.” Definition of Liar. ‘The President was characterizing | eritics of the A. A. A. program, and the cefinition of a lie as given by Web- ster’s Dictionary is as follows: | “1. A falsehood uttered or acted for | the purpose of deception; an inten- tional statement of an untruth de- signed to mislead another. The use of the word ‘lie’ usually implies moral censure and a charge of intention to affect wrongfully the acts, opinions or affections of another. | “2. Liar—a person who knowingly | utters a falsehood; one who lies.” Now, in political debate in the past. | Presidtn Roosevelt had a precedent for | President Roosevelt had a precedent | for describing those who disagreed with | President Theodore Roosevelt created | what he called the Ananias Club,, which is described by F. L. Paxson in | his “Recent History of the Umledl States”: | “The political method of President ‘Theodore Roosevelt was swift and ef- fective. Again and again he defended himself by denying the correctness of statements of his associates. His de- nunciation of Judge Parker in 1904 was a typical instance. E. H. Harri- | man was later brought within the group, and the cartoonists derived | much pleasure from their literary cre- | ation, the ‘Ananias Club,’ into which no man was admitted until the Presi- dent had openly called him a liar.” Inconsistencies Seen. Now Father Coughlin might have used some of the pussyfoot words which are, of course, frequently em- ployed in political discussion when opponents are accused of being “in- consistent,” or at least of saying “con- tradictory” things. Thus Mr. Roose- velt's record of public statements on many occasions would appear in some respects to be inconsistent, and when the term is used the public at least gets the impression that perhaps there is some explanation for the incon- sistency and that the man who has made the inconsistent statements at least did not do so with intention to deceive. The question of how far deception may be excused on the ground of political justification is one that will be answered differently, depending on whether it is asked in political circles or among the citizens generally. The latter are inclined rather strongly to the idea that there is no different code in private life than in public life, that hypocrisy and misrepresentation and “inconsistency” of speech are as much to be deplored when prompted by de- sires of political expediency as when made in reckless statements by pri- vate persons, | Incident Held Regrettable. As for Father Coughlin, he might have used a pussyfoot word and re- ceived less criticism. Somehow a | member of the cloth, speaking out | positively in just the same way that | the political orators do is somewhat | of an unusual spectacle. If some Re- publican had used the word “lie” in charging the New Deal candidate David Lawrence. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1936. Behind the News Business Recovery Held Unbalanced, With Big In- dustry Behind Average. BY PAUL MALLON. HE figures now show business is normal, but it obviously is not. The Federal Reserve Board index of industrial production has hovered on the betier side of 100 per cent for the last three months. That is, production has equaled the so-called average years of 1928-5 for such a long period s & quarter year, This may seer to be just about perfect to the man in the street, but if he will look into it he will find a great bulk of big industry lagging far behind, building construction at 47 per cent, employment at 86 per cent, car loadings at 70, store sales at 87. As one eminent authority has pri- vately stated, “No recovery has shown more unevenness, lag and disparity among ecparate industries than the present.” ‘What has happened is the development of boom business in such things as aytomobiles and cigarettes, which covers deficlencies in such things as cement and bullding mate- rials, but the whole does not repre- sent normal or anything like & satis- factory balanced level. ‘The question troubling econom- ists is what is normal, if anything? ‘The ever-searching Col. Leonard Ayres, foremost private business economist, has noted that the three years, 1923-5, not only were not nor- mal, but were not even average for any period, previous or since. This is an obscure fact, known to all economists, but probably not nized by those who read statistics. The experts on the Federal Reserve Board are unsurpasted anywhere in their fleld. They chose 1923-5 as thetr base period, because they had to have some base and those three years represented an era during which there was no war, drought, depression or boom. There is no other modern base period containing so few unnatural factors. But if you trail their 100 per cent back to 1899 you will find your~ self on a toboggan, Industrial production in 1920 was only 85 per cent of their “normal”, 1910 only 60 per cent, 1904 only 47 per cemt and 1899 only 38 per cent. In other words, there never was & real “normal” in this generation. fully reeog- .« e . Col. Ayres has sought to hit a mathematical normal by striking an average back through these last 37 years. He has drawn a straight line through the Federal Reserve production figures back to 1899 to see where the line would bring him out today. That is, he has averaged 37 years of business progress to find what volume of industrial production would be normal today. He hit 125. This would indicate the present 100 per cent production is 25 per cent less than what normally would be expected at this time in view of the aver-~ age progress of the country in this century, the growth of population, the expanded ability of the people to consume. In other words, production will have to improve 25 per cent before it can be said to have “recovered” its | ported certain military precautions for stride. * ¥ * *x In 1923 the population of the country was 111,537,000. The official estimate for 1935-'36 was 127,521,000. A good guess on the mid-year esti- mate for this year is 128,400,000. Roughly, this amounts to an increase of about 13 per cent since 1923. If you apply this population in= crease alone to the F. R. B. produc- tion figures, you will glean an indi- cation that 113 per cent would be normal now, instead of 100. But this does not take into consideration the inestimable growth of consump- tion ability among the people, the fact that they have more automobiles and could use more gas, or that they have radios and electric washing machines and should use more electricity. When you get into that nebulous field, you can reach the conclusion that Ayres is possibly too conservative, that normal‘industrial production today would mean an F. R. B. index * * of about 130. * % (It was 120 in 1929). Using only the population growth, Ayres computed the deficiency of some of the current economic factors as follows (he used the April figures of F. R. B, but the situation was exactly the same in June): Production - Employment Pay rolls ... Department store sales Freight loadings - Residential building - All construction ... Export trade _ These estimates are all more or dark. A generally acceptable figure thought on the subject. Whether the Per cent below normal. 12 25 31 28 39 74 58 48 less stabs in the shade, if not in the probably will come out of current right figure be 113, 125 or 130, there is no question that 100 no longer means 100 on the business report card and the existing perfection is deficient to a deceptive extent. (Copyright, 1936.) Mr. Mallon starts July 18 on his annual vacation. His daily column will be resumed here Monday, August with inconsistency, probably the inci- dent would have attracted little if any attention. Father Coughlin, by reason of his dual position as clergy- man and political orator, will un- doubtedly be criticized as having been indiscreet, though his friends will doubtless say that he had as much right to discuss the personality and sincerity of a candidate for high office as any other citizen. The incident is regrettable because it puts the cam- paign on a personal basis when it really ought to be fought out on issues rather than personalities.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY Essolen MOTOR Left and Righ Wings Lost to New Deal- Extremists Are Allied in Common Cause to Beat Roosevelt. BY MARK SULLIVAN. T the Townsend convention in Cleveland, several facts stand out. First, the movement is, as Mr. Frank Kent puts it, “a major political force in the land and there is no use blinking the fact.” Second, most of the leaders and mem- bers are eager to defeat Mr. Roosevelt. T« quote Mr. Kent “They the way they & want to do that o the Townsendites Mark Sullivan, 1s understood by the New Dealers and they are doing what they can to pre- vent it. The shrewd Mr. Jay G. Hayden of the Detroit News reports that prominent Democrats have got themselves chosen as delegates to the convention and are “busily proselyt- ing” agalnst any action that would harm Mr. Roosevelt. Other corre- spondents name Democratic office~ holders and candidates who are dele- gates to the Townsend convention and who try to prevent the conven- tion from endorsing Mr. Lemke. The man who has made the out- standing speech at the convention, Rev. L. K. Smith, declared that “I am informed there are not less than 1,000 planted delegates in this con- vention in the pay of the James A. Farley machine to attempt to con- fuse the minds of the people gath- ered here.” Doubtless Rev. Smith’s rabble-rousing rhetoric may be bet- ter than his round-number statistics. But there is no doubt the Townsend movement is & menace to Mr. Roose- velt, that the Democratic leaders understand this, and that they wish to avert it. One way to avert it is to prevent any formal unfon between the Townsend movement and the other third party, the Union ticket of Mr. Lemke and Father Coughlin, which is also strongly anti-Roosevelt. Result Far From Certain, The best judgment is that formal | union of the Townsendites and | Unionites, or formal endorsement by | the Townsendites of Union candidate Lemke, will be averted. Yet there is no telling what may come out of such an emotional gathering. In any event, Mr. Frank Kent shrewdly sur- mises that the two groups and their | leaders will make common cause against Mr. Roosevelt. A plan for this already exists: “What is pro-| posed is that later on, in a series of | combination mass meetings in se- lected cities, the four leaders, Dr. Townsend, Mr. Lemke, Father Cough- lin and Rev. Smith, shall speak from the same platform. That, it is con- tended, will have all the effect of & | convention endorsement with none of its attendant risks.” | Here, then, is & combined movement, which must embrace about all the ex- treme “leftists” there are. What Mr. Roosevelt is to do in the face of this defection constitutes a main problem | of his strategy. How he meets the | problem will be a major development ‘V of the campaign. In the past Mr. Roosevelt's way of offsetttng a left-wing defection has | been to go himself far enough to the | left to lure back some of the dis- affected. That was his strategy about the late Senator Huey Long. When Long was making popular headway with his “share the wealth” slogan, Mr. Roosevelt, June 19, 1935, sent to Congress his message calling for a tax bill which he described as “encourag- ing a wider distribution of wealth.” The difference between the two ! phrases, Senator Long's forthright “share the wealth” and Mr. Roose- | velt's “encouraging a wider distribu- | tion of wealth” is the measure of the difference between Senator Long's di- rectness and Mr. Roosevelt’s sophisti- cated subtlety. Mr. Roosevelt's phrase | | | Long himself could have done. age, into “soak the rich.” The “soak the rich” tax proposal encountered many misadventures, too detailed to recite here, which impaired Mr., Roose- velt’s prestige. In the end it was plain that the bill did not accomplish any material sharing of the wealth. Same Tactics Now Unwise. Just because this strategy of Mf. Roosevelt did not work well in 1935, and because Senator Long and his fol- lowers felt outraged by the stealing of Long's thunder—for these very reasons Mr. Roosevelt will now find it imprac- ticable to lure back many of the leftists by again using some of the lefts’ own thunder. This present defection of leftists from Mr. Roosevelt is deter- mined and implacable. The present leftist defection includes an element of personal animus. One of the leaders of it, Rev. Smith, was the devoted lieutenant of Senator Long. Many think, indeed, that Rev. Smith provided some of Long’s astute- ness and that hg has greater rabble- rousing ability. He has inherited all Long’s hatred of Mr. Roosevelt and adds some of his own.. Persons who have talked with Rev. Smith think he is conscious of his power, that he has waited until now to show it, and that during the campaign he will do as much against Mr. Roosevelt as Huey Mr. Smith’s speech at the Townsend con- vetnion was, of its kind, an extraor- dinary performance. Even the experi~ enced and skeptical Henry L. Mencken had a kind of grudging admiration for the art of it. “His speech was a magnificent amalgam of each and every American species of rabble-rous- ing . .. Its theme was not the virtues of the Townsend plan, but the vil- lainies of the New Deal. He had not been going two minutes before the Roosevelt men in the hall, s0 saucy last night, began to look as if they had been robbing hen-roosts. He ac- cused Jim Farley and the Young pro- fessors of every infamy conceivable to the human imagination . . . He is & rabble-rouser of the highest voltage « .. In the campaign he unquestion- bly will draw buckets of blood.” Coughlin Feels Betrayed. In addition to Rev. Smith will be Father Coughlin. Father Coughlin, like the Rev, Smith and Huey Long, has a personal animus against Mr. Roosevelt. Rightly or wrongly, he feels, as Huey Long did, that Mr. Roosevelt first cajoled him and then betrayed him. Plainly Mr. Roosevelt has not much chance of luring back a leftward defection that is led by these men and also by Dr. Townsend. And if Mr. Roosevelt cannot suc- cessfully appeal to the left, what then will his strategy be? Will he abandon the left and turn to the right in the hope of getting from the conserva- tives some equivalent of his leftist de- serters? That can hardly work. Try to imagine how far Mr. Roosevelt would now be obliged to go to the right to get back Democrats of the type of ex-Gov. Smith of New York and ex-Senator Reed of Missouri, and Col. Henry Breckinridge. If Mr. Roosevelt were now to swear on 20 Bibles—as at his inauguration he swore on one—to support the Consti- tution, he could hardly win back his departed right wing of conservative | Democrats. In sum Mr. Roosevelt finds himself with both his left wing and his right wing gone. Whether a leader thus bereft can win battles is a thing which doubtless political and military strate- @ists can tell us about.

O. P. Delegates to Be Present to Cheer Landon Next Thursday. BY GEORGE F. FISHER. MAHA, Nebr., July 17.—Nebraska Republicans this week planned » three-train caravan to Topeka, Kans., next Thursday, to witness the formal ceremony at which Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas will be notified of his nomination as the Republican presidential candidate. Announcement was made Fy Hugh R. Brown, publisher of the Kearney Hub and s delegate to the Cleveland convention. He expects, \ whether it stays hot or not, 100 citi- zens of Kearney, including the city's big American Legion, Band and Drum Corps, to start early on the morning of that day, picking up delegates of from 75 to 100 at Grand Island and Hastings. At Marysville, Kans., they will be joined by an Eastern Nebraska special from Lin- coln under sponsorship of former Gov. Samuel R. McKelvie of Lincoln. = (I An Omeha special will arrive at ‘Topeka at the same time, where all will join in a street parade. Hundreds will go by automobile. Nebraska has watched Gov. Landon’s expert handling of the special session of the Kansas Legislature which took the step that will enable the sunflower State to come under Federal social se- curity. Democrats noted with interest also that the action was along lines that had already been grooved. With the notification speech impending and a start on the cam- paign in sight, it also has been remarkable that so little has been said in Nebraska either critically or in praise of Gov. Landon. * x x x Dr. Francis E. Townsend came through Nebraska during the week, in company with Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, claiming to wear the mantle of the late Huey Long, on their way to the Cleveland meeting. Dr. Townsend was rather mild in his remarks. He had addressed a meeting of 4,500 at the Lincoln fair grounds last Sunday, the majority of them more than 60 years old. He was welcomed officially by Mayor Charles W. Bryan. He said the Roosevelt administration constitutes “the most gigantic bribery in the world.” Rev. Mr. Smith said: “We are going to melt that chocolate soldier in Washington.” After similar meetings in Des Moines and Burlington, Iowa, the two went on to Cleveland and expect to go to New Orleans for a meeting July 25, where the minister promised a “bigger reception than any ever given Al Smith, W. J. Byran or Billy Sunday.” How strong the Townsend movement will be in Nebraska seems problematical. The Socialists made an effort to obtain a convention large enough to get on the ballot, with two organizers working several weeeks and Norman Thomas here in person, and failed. Sentiment does not appear to be sufficlently erystallized in the group to indicate the Townsend policy in the State. Much will depend on how the result of the Cleveland Townsend convention is met here. Dr. Townsend's unfriendliness to Representative Lemke may bring out another party in the State, cutting into both major parties. Republicans concede that Gov. Landon was a shrewd student of the situation when he called for a constitutional amendment enabling Kansas to take advantage of social security. Nebraska requires a convention of 750 persons signing the declaration of principles to start & new party and place its candidates on the ticket. The Townsendites undoubtedly could form one here were they so inclined. But that would mean years more plodding and unproductive elections. The Soclalists are talking of getting Thomas' name on the Nebraska ballot as an independent candidate by organizing a petition campaign. As for the Democrats, they are sitting back for the signal, ex- pecting National Chairman James A. Farley to give it before long. The proposed visit of President Roosevelt to the drought region in the Northwest in August cannot help but have its political effect. Work of gathering petitions asking Senator George W. Norris to run as an independent for the United States Senate is being pushed. James E. Lawrence, Lincoln editor, in charge of the petition campaign, wants them all ready for filing by early October. Under the Nebraska law, Senator Norris will not be obliged to accept them formally with a statement that might be embarrassing. Only in case he does not wish to run will any statement from him be necessary.
