President Compares 1939 With 1932 For Sake Of Politicians Reminds Forgetful Citizens of Improvements During Period In his addiess to the American Youth Congress. President Roosevelt reiterated and emphasized facts of recent history, which he had pre viously made at a press conference, lest persons with short or conven ient memories forget them With so many Republican candidates for of fice roaming the country trying to draw a veil over their party's blun ders and to becloud present issues with irrelevant accusations, it is well for every voter who is a fripnd of progress to keep the President's statements constantly in mind. "These past ten years," he said, "have proved certain obvious facta? some negative and some positive. We know that the prosperity in the Twenties?and a good many of you remember them?the prosperity of the Twenties can properly be com pared to the Mississippi Bubble days before the bubble burst?when ev erybody was money-mad. when the money changers owned the temple when the nation as a whole forgot the restraint of decent ethics and simple morals, and when the govern ment in Washington gave complete ly free rein to what they called indi vidual liberty, gave completely free rein to the virtual ownership of gov ernment itself by the so-called best minds?best minds which wholly controlled our finances and our eco nomics, and forgot our social prob lems. "During those ten years you can not find a single statute enacted for the restraint of excesses, enacted for the good, the betterment of the per manent security of the individual That is a straight-from-the-shoulder fact, a sad fact, which the American public fortunately has not forgotten. "It is also a simple straight fact that in 1930. 1931 and 1932. those years saw the collapse und the dis integration of the philosophy of the Twenties, followed in February and the first three days of March, 1933. by an acknowledgment on the part of those who had been the leaders that they could no' longer carry on. "Just by way of further illustra tion of the fact that we have been, making progress since those dark days, not as great progress, of course, i as we want or think, but just by way 1 of illustration, let me repeat certain comparisons that 1 gave the other | day at a press nmf> icinc, lohipuii ' sons between 1932 and 1939, "Now let's see. The national in come from all sources has increased from $40,000,000,000 In 1932 to $68, 500,000,000 in 1939?in other words plus 71 per cent. "Wages and salaries have increas ed from $2,400,000,000 in December, 1982. to $3,888,000,000 in December, 1939?plus 62 per cent. Weekly factory payrolls increased from $80,000,000 in December. 1932, to $197,000,000 in December, 1939? plus 145 per cent.
