THE POST-DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 193S.

DISPELLING THE FOG By Charles Michelson . Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

Ex-President Herbert Hoover may not loom very large as a potential candidate at the Republican convention in Cleveland, but he is having some effect on. the campaign notwithstanding. . Th duPont League which is paying the bills and, by ,right of purchase, is running the G. O. P. show, voices the Hoover policies, preaches the Hoover pnilosophy and dreams of return to the old conditions. They vision the recrudesence of the glamorous time when the munitions dyasty and its affiliates corralled about all the money there was and left the rest of the country broke. They haven’t named their candidate—yet, for obvious reasons, of which Senator Borah and his group is only one. But their frame of mind is that of Shakespeare’s Juliet when she exclaimed “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?” Every Liberty League propagandist, on or off the payroll, is sounding off on the same note. It was Mr. Hoover who first announced last December that he had the depression licked in June of 1932. That was nearly four years after the event. At the same time he explained that* it was only the shadow of Franklin Roosevelt that had interfered with his keeping the' panic under control. The other day Mr. Frank Kent, that steadfast defender of things as they were, took a column of type to elucidate the theory that the New Deal had nothing to do with our national economic recovery. “It is not true,” wrote Mr. Kent, “That the bottom of the depression was marked by the closing of the banks. On the contrary, there is general agreement that the low point was reached in June, 1932, and all over the world recovery began about that time.” Shouse-Hoover Stoppings of 1932 Curiously enough, you cannot find anything in Mr. Kent’s writings “about that time” that suggested the depression had run its course. Indeed, the general agreement as to the beginning of recovery seemed to be limited to Mr. Hoover himself, who kept advising us that prosperity was just around the‘corner—a statement 5 which Mi\ Jouett Shouse, rrtiw. of the Hmjefiy League, had a great • deal of ftin with “about that tiriie.” “The bank collapse.” continued Mr. Kent, “was an incident, one it has been charged that might have been avoided had there been willingness on the part of Mr. Roosevelt to cooperate to that end with his predecessor.” The date announced as marking the bottom of the depression was before Franklin Roosevelt had even been nominated for the presidency. In fact, at that time Mr. Shouse and his associates were reasonably sure that the Governor of New York had been stopped and would not achieve the nomination. . It was nearly five months later before Mr. Roosevelt was elected. During that period, if we can accept his speeches as faithfully representing his thought, President Hoover believed that he and not the Democratic nominee would be 32nd president of the United States. So that the Roosevelt shadow could hardly be accused of blighting the return of prosperity. It was some time after that when President Hoover suggested that he and the president-elect should cooper-

ate. There is a general impression that at the first conference between the outgoing and the incoming president the chief topic concerned the international war debts. But whatever did fugure in that conversation, Franklin Roosevelt could have had no more authority than any other unofficial American citizen. Mr. Hoover had not advocated, nor did he ever suggest, that he would carry out the Roosevelt policies. Mr. Hoover had still four months to go as president, before the advent of his successor in the White House. If he made any effort to stay the tumbling of banks, which was proceeding at such a terrific pace, the country never heard of it. To go back a little* we might record that it was when the Democratic convention in /Chicago was assembling, and before the nomination was made, that the big run on the Chicago banks was under way and that the Hoover administration had to rush $90,000,000 from the RFC to Charlie Dawes’ bank to head off the closing of that great financial structure. Incidentally, the government has not yet succeeded in receiving all of that $90,000,000. The Reverse Charge of Spending Of course, we cannot expect accuracy in the assaults on the Roosevelt administration by the Liberty League, whether these assaults are issued. under the name of the Republican National Committee or any of the other annexes to the duPont organization. For example, just the other day there was a loud GOP outcry based on the hypothesis that the president had only been able to spend a third of the Congressional relief appropriation by the first of this year and that therefore there was something over $3,000,000,000 which had to be spent by next June. They were only a year out in their statement, for the act itself set June 30, 1937, as the closing date during which the fund would be available. The inference of the Republican National Committee’s statement Ayas that, the w'haple1 k appropriation was to » be poifiW but in time To affe'e};,- the political 'Campaign.

A DRAWER FOR WARMING DISHES

Is esnipping itself with a perfectly insulated oven, the new automatic electric range had to make a change, for. the better, for the dish-warming department. Dishes for serving used to be heated on top of the oven—many I times over heated—in order that i the infallible rule “serve ‘ hot ! foods hot” be carried out. But ! now that the top of the electric j oven is as cool as a cucumber, l even when the hottest meal is 1 baking, the serving dishes have i necessarily been assigned to h ; special warming drawer. Thermo-

statically controlled it is, and just the right temperature “not too hot, and not too cold” is maintained. The drawer is large enough to hold and heat a dinner service for eight, or it may be used to keep hot foods hot, to reheat rolls, etc. However, just in case you are a drawer skeptic, the warming drawer, as well as the utility drawer, run on roller bearing slides; there’s not a chance that you’ll break the dishes or unset the food in the process opening them* ryr iv ) >-* ■ » i"v w *y-i..

New Corydon-How Name Originated The people of Jay county are no doubt interested in how the village of New Corydon got its name. It was named after Corydon, the county seat of Harrison county and which at one time In the early history of the state was the first state capitol. It was for a short time the territorial capital also, buL when the state was admitted to the Union in 1816 it became the state capitol and remained so until the capitol was removed to Indianapolis in 1825. The name Corydon came from the following incident as related in the Indianapolis Star of recent date. The name came from an old pastoral song, a plaintive elegy about shepherdesses and unrequited love. The story goes that when William Henry Harrison was governor of Indiana territory, he travelled from Vincennes, the capital, on horseback to and from Harrison county, where he owned large tracts of land. On these trips he visited at the home of Edward Smith, said to have left the British army during the Revolutionary war, and made his way to Indiana, where he married and lived with his family in a log cabin in Harrison county. After the evening meal the family and Harrison gathered around the cabin door and sang the general’s favorite songs. One day Harrison remarked that ^e was going to lay out a town near that place and asked suggestions for a name. “Why not name it Corydon from the piece you like so much” asked Miss Jennie Smith. General Harrison liked the suggestion, and when the town was laid out that was the name it was given.

There seems to be considerable wailing x>ver the fact that the “wailing wall” along Wheeling Avenue was not extended northeasterly along Minnetrista Boulevard, another 100 feet, and the fact that it was not done, cannot be understood. Note: Mr. Willim Harley, former city engineer d&* signed the Wheeling Avenue Flood Wall, and it was built under his supervision. He will give you the desired information if requested to do so.
