U.S. politician Al Smith's Carnegie Hall speech was a shocking performance. It was really worse than the Liberty League address. In that, at least, there was the pretense of certain idealistic concepts. But at Carnegie Hall, Al reduced the whole problem of his political position to a sort of accountant's game as to whether he had done more for U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt or Roosevelt more for him. One don't know whether the quality of arrogance has grown on Al in recent years. It was not so palpable in the past.
