Major Geo. L Berry Talks On Isues
: In Presidential Campaign—Roosevelt
Admn. One of Unceasing Effort
-
(DELIVERED OVER WCL LAST WEDNESDAY EVENING)
“Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Let us see if ye can get at the real isues in this campaign.
Labor, in common with every progressive element in our country,
is supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt on his record. That record
is one of unceasing effort to improve the lot of the really useful
men and women of America and their children.
In order to injure the Roosevelt
cause, the opponents of progress have
slurred the remedial agencies set up
by the Roosevelt administration. They
have hurled ridicule at NRA, at AAA,
at CCC and SEC and the rest of the
emergency agencies. Let me agy
that those agencies breathed the
breath of life into a nation that was
a)l but hopeless when Franklin D.
Roosevelt took office.
; Men went back to work. Factory
wheels turned back again. Fanners
got better prices. People could buy
and in buying they made more
wheels turn. Hope replaced despair.
Vfages replaced breadlines. And the
parade of progress "oes on.
• The Social Security Act was given
to us and the aged found the declin
ing years of life worth living.
•And speaking specifically for la
bor, let me emphasize the National
Libor Relations Act. Reactionary in
terests are still fighting it, but mean
while it has brought freedom and a
restoration of rights to millions of
workers. This new freedom is re
flected back into homes and there is
a hew self-respect and self-confidence
among the millions of workers of our
land. A certain vicious form of hu
man slavery has been wiped out and
wt| intend to see to it that it stays
because
wijped out.
JWe are for Roosevelt
Roosevelt is for the people.
JWe have had long years of admin
istrations cast in the mould of spe
cial interests, long years of political
deception in which a great deal be
sides prosperity was around a corner
ouj of public sight.
jVe regard this campaign as a bat
tle
ph
pa
between two opposing political
losophies. The Roosevelt cam
gn is straightforward, clear-cut
an$ definite. It stands for the people.
he Republican presidential cam
paign is full of evasion, indirection
downright deception. It has to
and
be,! for it stands for vested interests.
Vested interests, seeking to rob the
people of their heritage, must proceed
by indirection, for peoples do not
vote away their heritage unless they
are fooled and befuddled into that
act of sacrifice.
Thus the issue of communism is
dragged into the campaign- Mr. Lan
don’s spokesmen have said the pres
ident accepts communist support.
Among these spokesmen are the
chairman of the Republican National
Committee and a certain well-known
absent publisher. Really, I don't
know what there is in the record of
either of these gentlemen that should
lead them to expect the public will
take them seriously, or believe that
what they say is necessarily true.
They have especially sought to
prove their silly charges by citing the
presence of the names of Sidney
Hillman and David Dubinsky on the
ballot of the American Labor Party
in New York as presidential electors.
The American Labor party is the
New York state affaliate of Labor’s
Non-Partisan League. Mr. Hillman
is president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers. Mr. Dubinsky is
president of the International Ladies’
Garment Workers. These are two of
the finest labor organizations in our
country. Thye are progressive, con
structive and thoroughly American
in their idealism and in their prac
tice.
, American labor has held the front
line trench against communism ever
since communism became an issue
and among the most valient of all
labor men in the holding of that
front line trench have been Mr. Hill
man and Mr. Dubincky. They have
been the unflinching and uncom
promising foes of communism and I
happen to know what I am talking
about.
One of the vital reasons why Mr.
Hillman and Mr. Dubinsky support
Roosevelt and oppose Landon is their
clear understanding that the election
