(Substituting for Westbrook Pegler)

EW YORK, Aug. 31.—-If anything is clear inthe welter of the present campaign it is that Landon and his cohorts wish to take us back to the economic policies and political methods which were in vogue in the decade before the depression and were re-

tained with no essential change during the Administration of Herbert Hoover. In other words, they quite literally desire to drag us back into the system which spelled disaster for oder 90 per cent of all Americans. : pie Many would contend that if this = a8 system produced the situation of | the four dark years after 1929 it : must also be given credit for the glorious “only yesterday” of 1921-

»{.1929.- This argument gefs exactly

nowhere for the obvious reason that 1929-1933 was the very direct and _ immediate result of the preposterous policies and methods followed § from 1921-1929. ‘ Let us look at the fruits of the System of rugged individualism and . consider the possibilities of its - “gltimate vindication.” a i Barnes = At the top we have what is conventionally known as “capital.” Capital today is dominated mainly by powerful absentee owners—chiefly by the great moguls of speculative finance who had milked America dry by 1929. Within a century They have walked rough-shod over our canal system, our railroads. and our electric utilities, crushing them all beneath a hopeless burden of water and paper. They have prostituted our potentially healthy industries in the ‘interest of the rapacious methods of speculative finance. ‘They have ‘ruthlessly disregarded the inevitable prostration of the American industrial system in their haste to skim off temporary speculative profits. . : x = = 2

utilities, which might otherwise be reasonably sound and prosperous, are today seriously impaired because of their assault by speculative finance. | The deflation of the American farmer carried out at the behest of the speculative group at the top of our economic pyramid, in order to bolster their new creditor economy, has impoverished 44 ‘per cent of the American population. : : Even in the boom period from 1919-1929. the farm wealth of the United States sank from 79 billion dollars to 58 billion dollars. The annual income of agriculture fell from 17 billion dollars to 11 billion ° dollars. The share of agriculture in the total national income slid down from 181 per cent of the whole to 9 per cent. The farm mortgage debt, on the other hand, has jumped from 7 billion dollars to 9% billions.

Labor is no better off than agriculture or industry,

: " Even in the prpsperous years hefore the depression it failed to receive enough to make our laboring people

steady and adequate purchasers of the products they help make. The average wage of American industrial workers was $1200, that of unskilled workers less than $1000 and that of agricultural laborers only a little over “$500. In 1932 the situation was much worse, . The monetary value of wage payments to industrial workers was only slightly more than 40 per cent of what it was in 1928.

come and the payment of income taxes in the United States tell the same story. Even at the height of our late prosperity nearly 99 per cent of the Amere ican population were receiving less than $5000 a year, With our domestic market, to which we must sell at least 90 per cent of our products. thus depleted as a result of the ‘dominion of the speculative grandees, our foreign market, slight under the best conditions, has well nigh been wiped out by the most preposterous tariff in our whole national history. This is what the record tells us about Republican economics and statesmanship, supported by figures accessible to all honest investigators. Such is the system to which Mr. Landon and Col. Knox invite us to return. ! :

They also offered to extend him credit toward the purchase of this new farm. On the irrigated land Silcrest could raise crops of winter feed for his cattle. His own 800 dry acres would be turned back to grazing and become part of a government grazing district. -Silcrest ‘would have to get his living from cattle in the future, forget about grain farming eftirely. “What about the house?” Silcrest asked.
