The nomination of Roosevelt and corner was a matter of much routine that the Democrats had little to do but brag. about the achievements of the New Deal in the last three years and four

months.

Nothing can the not that 1".D.R. handled that crisis in such manner as to restore nation- al confidence when it was most sorely needed. And although ‘£000 banks had failed in the previous three years, there hasn't been an important bank failure in the am three years of the New Deal and banks now have public confidence, because nearly all deposits are in- sured under federal law.

I Unemployment

On the other hand. although minions of people have gone back to work. the nation still worries about its "ten million unemploy- ed." The Republican platform pro- mises re-employment in a. vaguely phrased program of generalities anditistobefesrod that the Democratic platform won't be much more helpful.

Technological unemployrnent is an increasingly big problem and the threat of a permanently huge body of unemployed is common talk.

Farm Belief

AAA was NRA’: rural cousin. ahned at increas‘ prices by reg- ulating and adjusting basic crops. surpluses of which had forced pric- es down and ruined many farmers.

Gross ibrm income. up to :13.- 600,000.000 in 1920——when many farmers made their land invest- ments--had sunk to 85.300.000.(Ki0 in 1932. It was more than $8,000.- ooo,ooo in 1936. although AAA must share credit with the great dmuth of 1984.

since the supreme court killed the agricultural adjustment act. the AAA has embarked on a huge soil conservation program. which even the Republicans endorse in principle. claiming it as their own idea.

Relief

Most spectacular of the New Deal efforts have been the to carry out Roosevelt’: promise that “nobody shall starve." Relief re- mains a. vital problem and it's a big campaign issue, chialy because it costs so much money and its ad- ministration has been bad in too many spots.

It has cost about 58.000.000.000 under the New Deal to date and the end is far from in sight.

Nearly 3.000.000 people continue on relief rolls. Roosevelt originally accepted federal responsibility for all of them. but more recently, with estsablishms.-nt of WPA. he has un- loaded seven or eight million "un- employabies" back on the states. . Many states and cities were on the verge of bankruptcy when the original policy was adopted and some of them are now no better able to care for the load.

Recovery

The NBA came, floundcred, and finally was killed by the supreme court. Plow mourn its passing. Planned as a machinery for short- ening‘ hours. raisins wages. and thus stimulafing industry through creation or added purchasing pow- er. it soon became primarily a de-

vice for the none-to--compatible I90“

object of raising prices and profits. Pllbllo Works

WPA permits a large degree of local control, which is responsible for some-of the worst scandals in in administration. although there has been no genuinely energetic New Duel alert in Washington to

relief out of politics.

The program is usually regarded as sound and valuable. although political interference from the White House-—as in fire cases of the Eorida ship Canal and Passa- maquoddy—-has permitted a few questlonaible projects.

National Debt

The national debt has increased by 310.000.000.000 during Roose- velt's ilrm and that can be charg- ed against relief in one form or another.

The Hoover deficits have been followed by bigger New Deal de- ficits, although it is worth noting that the annual interest charges have increased but 553000.000 de- spite the huge increase in debt.

most economists agree. there could have been no such business im- movement as has been had. some experts believe the entire pickup may be attributed, in effect, to that lo billion doliars of added debt.

What happens is that the money "squandered" by the government is spent at once by the recipients, that this added consumption stimulates production, that the corporations skim off the profits—s.nd the New Deal hopes to skim off enough of the profits to keep this "round and round" System operating. They argue that the faster the

"What greater muddle have we than that throughout our 48 states with people travelling hither and you to avoid marital obligations?" he asked.
