A Vote To Be Reckoned With
A vote thai is apparently being ignored by all the
straw poiis?and one that i> to be reckoned with?is
that of the working masses Apparently the workers
in garment factories are not recognized when the Lit
erary Digest starts distributing its superflous ballots.
But the report from a dressmakers' union in Philadel
phia proltably thn.w- more light on what can be ex
pected on November 3, next, than the Digest and its
millions of stacked ballots.
In a comer of one of many pages, a Philadelphia
paper carries the following to the editor from one
Ade Elfman. of tha city:
' ("in October 7 a local evening paper carried a state
ment by Mr \rin4d Blumberg. charging that the
Dressmakers I'mon is "macing" its members 50 cents
each for a Kosrvrlt fund.
"1 want Iff [wifft unfair charge made by Mr.
Blumberg
Previous th. Roosevelt Administration the dress
trade was nun uniuci. and wages were extremely low.
Since then, through unionization and the New Deal,
wages have r?r up and hours have gone down!
is it any wonder that t and. my fellow-unionists
voted, voluntarily and unanimously, for a 50-cent
contribution to 1 ahnr's Non Partisan league for the
reelection of Roosevelt?"
One Explanation
just why sh mane manufacturers ?and some little
ones, too?are again-t President Roosevelt, when the
facts and figures show lievond all doubt that tbey
havc enjoyed substantial business gains since Hoover
retired some over three years ago, has not been ex
plained to the satisfaction of many.
Some talk has been made aliout their having to pay
the bill. But this cannot be true, for the Republi
can campaigners claim, in their appeal for votes, that
the small man pays the bill. Other explanations have
been advanced, but a farmer from a little backwoods
nook in this county siaed up the situation thusly:
Back in 1931 and 1932 the automobile manufacturers
were repossessing some of our car-: die Corporations
were foreclosing on our lands, and the manipulators
were just about to take the clothes off our backs.
.Along came Mr. Roosevelt and made the boys stop.
Well, they have just about decided to forego business
profits and gobble up the country and everything in
it. reduce millions to slavery and run the country after
the pattern of a cruel king and for their own gloryn
So what are a few millions in profits compared with
a whole countrv and slaves to work it ?
Health Racketeers
Samfum lmitpcndt at
Medical quackery, which for several years gradu
ally lost ground became of the growing tendency of
newspapers to reject quack advertising, seems to have
found a new and potential aid in the radio
much advertising which no self-respecting news-"
paper would print is freely broadcast over the air,
evidently with some success in attracting suckers, be
came it is being continued in undiminished volume.
Those who prey upon the public by fraudulently
cashing in an the universal desire for health are char
acteriaed by Dr. E. P. Lyon, dean of the medical
school of the University of Minnesota as ' health rack
He says of this type of faker:
'?His health patter is pseudo science. His eye h
on your dm. k book. In these days especially he pros
titutes the mho to his uses. Quacks and quackery,
and fakcry of all kinds appeal to a bewildered
public between jazz and the nasal tenor, with blat
ant ideithuuib that no reputable journal will print.
Oh, hrtfch, What crimes are committed in thy name!"
E?*w aoane of what TP'Srt to be legitimate adver
tising h amy thxjqniw. The doctor says further.
**Bratfag the teeth is a nice habit: but no am has
that it saves teeth, aad all the flamboyant ad
bowt tooth pastes is rottenest tommyrot."
Still True
"Only Working People"
it or lantern Xrws-Hetald.
The f mpsign story oi the week was relayed by
Raymond Clapper. A prominent, even eminent, GOP
candidate was being driven through a certain city,
local bigwigs with him. There were sudden shouts
for Roosevelt and instead of diminishing they swelled
as the procession passed. Showing some decided an
noyance, a lady politician sought to reassure the dig
nitary. "Don't pay any attention to them," she sug
gested. "they are only working people."
The Best Answer To Our
Subversive Die-Hards
Philadelphia Record
"I am a greet admirer of your President," said
the Prince of Wales last year to a friend of mine
who mi visiting England.
"I'm glad to hear it," said the American, "for
I'm sorry to say most of my conservative friends
m Xest Yorh wouldn't agree with you."
"Ah, well," said the Prince, "you mustn't for
get that more harm in this world is done by the
die-hards ikon by aO the radicals that ever ex
isted"?H. J. Whigham, "The New Deal: Eng
lish and American."
H J. Whigham's new book, "The New Deal: Eng
lish and American," should end once and for all the
fiction that "conservative" England came out of the
depression faster than New Deal America.
On the contrary, Mr. Whigham demonstrates from
| production and profit figures that, thanks to the New
Deal, the Cniled States has made a greater recovery
than Knwtsmt ?
He also shows that "conservative" England has
long had most of the social and economic reforms for
uhich the New Deal is being denounced as "radical."
Is our experiments in social security a dangerous
and revolutionary innovation? Mr. Whigham shows
that England's system of social security was estab
lished a quarter of a century before ours. And he
demonstrates that we would have to spend four and
a half billions a year on insurance against old age,
unemployment, sickness, etc., to equal Britain's ex
penditure
Did we take a radical step when we abandoned the
gold standard? England did it two years before we
did, and Mr. Whigham shows that her recovery began
two years before ours.
Are we regimenting our farmers? During the last
decade under various agricultural marketing acts Eng
land has plowed under" potatoes and hops, subsi
dised wheat and lieet sugar and rigfdly controlled the
wholesale and retail sale of milk.
Mr. Whigham reports?
"The powers of the Marketing Boards (which
are of course public agencies) are amazing:
"Marketing Boards may buy the products in
then- respective fields and may manufacture or
process the goods. They may sell, grade, pack,
store, advertise and transport commodities. They
may require producers to register and deny to un
registered producers the right to sell their prod
ucts."
Imagine the outcry if the Department of Agricul
ture attempted to exercise any such drastic powers
here.
a
What about the N. R. A.? Mr. Whigman points
out that British industry has long been unionized and
that as for production control, it too is an old story.
Overproduction in Lancashire was countered by an
ac t of Parliament "compelling each spinner to reduce
his number of spindles. It paid each spinner for the
"lie spindles by levying a contribution on the whole
industry. ... Our anti-New Dealers would call
that interfering with business."
Is regulation of securities and stock exchanges rad
ical? Mr Whigman shows that England was far a
head of us in such legislation and succeeded in pre
venting the excesses that marked our last stock mar
ket boom.
Our federal Housing Administration act is based
"almost word for word' on British legislation. Our
tank deposit insurance is only a last-minute attempt
to do what Britain has done by far s trie ted super
vision of banking than anything dreamed of here.
('?The last hank failure in England," Mr. Whig
man reports, "happened in 1878, and that waa in
Scotland.)
?*' t" '*? corporate surplus tea thai "uhI
ryed piece of legislation," as London calls it?it
levies a graduated tax on undistributed profits
rangmg from 1 to 27 per cent. Engtand imposes
a flat tax of 22 1-2 per cent.
England s Conservatives are still a lot more radical
than our supposedly "radical" New Dealers.
