add to cart   close window

In this article, the author discusses books "Age Before Booty," by Morgan J. Dorman, "The Townsend Plan," by Nicholas Roosvelt and "The Economic Meaning of the Townsend Plan," edited by Harry D. Gideonse. Three more different treatments of the same subject would be difficult to imagine than those contained in the booklets listed above on America's most popular controversial subject-the Townsend plan. Roosevelt attempts to fleet the Townsend cohorts on their own ground. He appears to be sympathetic with the motives which led to the development of the plan, is almost sentimental toward Townsend personally, but is bitterly vindictive in his attack on the movement.
