AND THE NEW DEAL (Tallahassee. oe Dah Democrat) Alfred Emanuel Smith has been hav- ing a little quiet fun with the new deal of his old colleague, Franklin Delano Roose- | velt. There is some truth in the things Mr. Smith is saying. It is quite true that the new deal is: not perfect; nothing is, and the complieated machinery set up by our ' president to restore prosperity: could not. be} the focal: ne} sete Sublease che a + republl ication of of #e news st aes ee mator is started.

We would probably feel the same way, if in his place. But in one of his recent articles Mr. Smith: presented a list of abbreviations for the new deal divisions which he thought : would be funny and which may justify the statement that this is Mr. Rosevelt’s “ini- tial” effort. The long list of shortened names, may | bring a, few smiles, but too, they may serve a8 a. sort of lexicon for our readers, so here they are: NRA—National Recovery Administra- a line.
