Abstract

It Pays to Stay on Relief
Ward, Paul W. | October 17, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

The most amusing aspect of the U.S. Presidential campaign, aside from the fumbling stupidity of the Republican tacticians, has been the way that liberals and radicals have swallowed the propaganda of the Republican Party and the Liberty League. The bull-roaring that has emanated from those twin citadels of reaction in denunciation of New Deal spending for relief and kindred activities seems to have so deadened the wits of many progressives that they actually have come to believe the Republicans would, if elected to power, cancel relief, wipe out the PWA and toss back to the bread lines the thousands added to the federal pay roll under U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
