BUSINESS MEN OF THE
NATION ARE NOT PACK
OF FOOLS, SAYS CREEL
TENIIEN KILLED IN
KEE3ASU COLLISION!
By GEORGE CREEL,
(Written for the Democratic
National Committee)
As never before, the United States
is prosperous.
It is "loaded dice" business that
Woodrow Wilson has hunt, not legi
timate business. In view of facts,
the cry that "business men are
against wnson" is tantamount to an
accusation that the business men of
the United States are a pack of fools.
We weathered the crash of the Eu
ropean war without a panic such as
cursed the country in 1903 and 1907.
In the last three years, manufac
tured products have increased by 9,
400,000,000 and less than one per
cent, of this vast total is furnished
by munitions exports.
There are no more breadlines; there
is no unemployment; agriculture has
been given new life and industry is
driving forward with a new and tre
mendous energy. The wealth of the
nation has increased $41,000,000,000
under Woodrow Wilson.
The answer is not to be found save
J t
in the financial, economic ana uiaus-
trial reform effected by the Man in
the White House. He drove through
the Federal Reserve bill that ended
the selfish rule of Wall Street, and
that in the face of Republican pro
phecies of "ruin and disaster."
This law has lifted tha fear of pan
ics; it -has ended usury; ft has per
mitted government funds for the
movement of crops ; it hat made cred
it accessible to legitimate entejrlse.
The Rural Credits law it the Mag
na Chart for the farmer; the Clay
ton law took much of the hate out bi
industry; the Seamen's law hat put
American sailors back on the high
aeas; the: Federal Trade Commission
is waging a winning . fight agamst
extortion and monopoly; the tarif
commission hat taken a question ol
vital importance out of politics, ana
the child labor law, the eight hour
day and the Workmen's Compensa
tion has energized industry as well
as humanized it.
