Abstract

The Pot and the Kettle. Governor Roosevelt Turns to God

Villard, Oswald Garrison | October 12, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

Presidential candidate Franklin Roosevelt has not let the people of United States know whether or not he believes that Americans should be starving to death for lack of government aid. He has not said that he thinks the tariff affects the very lives of each of the people and of their children, or pledged himself to cut that tariff canker out of our national life, come what may. He has not yet said a word about the bonus, though it is told that he will. Indeed, there are a lot of gaps that he must fill up between now and election day, a lot of questions besides these which he must answer, despite the political skill with which he has handled his campaign and thrown the Republicans into such confusion that day by day they contradict themselves.
