TRUST WARNING BY ROOSEVELT STIRS CAPITAL New York Governor’s Plea May Become Issue for 1930 Election. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN I nitfd Prrs, -toss Corre-pnndpnt WASHINGTON. July 6.—Goverj nor Franklin D. Roosevelt's stirring | warning against, a threatened ‘ new | feudalism" of industrial monopoly. ; uttered in his keynote before the Tammany Hall Independence day assemblage, has started the political pot boiling in all quarters of the ' eapital. Coming in the wake of a series of gigantic mergers in the food, public utility and banlftng fields during the last six months, and as the administrations new farm program to assist in the formation of huge cooperative combines for handling i basic farm products, is being worked j out. the speech of the New York i Governor is received generally here as a prospective battle cry for the , 1330 congressional campaign. * Many times in the past the political trial balloon" released from Tammany s flag-draped doorstep on July 4 has returned in the fall fully grown to a two-fisted "issue." Party Leaders .Silent It is because of the possibility of I .iust this development, of the cry against "centralized industrial control" that those political figures whose reactions are most worthy of attention are not available today for the public print. Informal comment, however, centers upon the prospect of anew era of “trust busting" under a Roosevelt—a political phenomenon which dominated national politics twenty years ago and led finally, in 1912. to an up-and-down and crosswise split in the Republican party. Appeals to Insurgents Democrats see in the construction of Roosevelt's speech a pointed appeal to the Republican-insurgent group in the senate, which has expressed dissatisfaction with President Herbert Hoover's farm and tariff policies on the ground they favor the industrialized east and north to the detriment of the agrarian west and south. With McNary-Hauganism removed from the political arena by the passage of the administration's $500,000,000 farm bill, these Democrats point out, the opposition to Republican industrial policies must be crystallized under anew slogan. Roosevelt's assault upon our "new feudal system" with his appeal for “anew declaration of independence.” seems to provide this battle cry—at least, for the Democrats who fought for A1 Smith, Roosevelt and Raskob in the presidential campaign last year.
