Trough Crisis "The government of this great na tion, solvent, sound In credit, li com ing through a crisis aa grave aa war without having sacrificed American democracy or the Ideals of Amorlcan - life." Turning to "this foolish fear about the crushing load the debt will Im pose upon your children and mine," ha started a loud demonstration by declaring: "This debt Is not going to be paid by oppressive taxation on future gen erations. It la not going to be paid by taking away the hard-won savings Of the present generation, "It Is going to be paid out of an increased national income and In creased Individual Income produced by Increasing national prosperity." Loud "boos" greeted the president' mention of "my predecessor" ana "President Hoovor's administration' In what was interpreted as a ref erence to Ool. Frank Knox, Republlo em vlce-presldentlal nominee, Mr. Roosevelt said It wns Just aa 'tech nically and morally correct" to say trie New Deal has Increased the na tions! debt by 13,0O0,000,00 as to tell the people of Pennsylvania that Bone of their bank deposits or In surance policies wore sound. Assets Cited In sn address at AllenUiwn, Ps aVptember 6, Knox declared no In surance policy was secure nor bnnk deposit safe under the New Deal monetary policies, v The president emphaalred the 8, 000,000,000 Increased national debt was s "net" Increase. "When you are told that the U. 8. treasury has S13, 000, 000,000 more of liabilities than It had In 1033, you should also be told that It has 8, 000,000.000 of Increased assets to sot olf against their liabilities." he said. This would make tne "net" In crease In debt 17,000,000,000. hut ttiere was no explanation In tho speech for -the other billion the president added on for his adminis tration associates, said afterward he Allowed for n billion In the Increased assets aa perhaps "non-recovorablo." 4 Disagrees With Mrs. llurd. To the Editor: Unlike Mrs. Hurd, I think your edi torials about our president are Just about right. You sure hit the nail on the head every stroke and unlike Knox and Coughlln and the great mining engineer. Hoover, you tell the truth and the truth Is what hurts. People who are opposed to President Roosevelt and lies are what Is hurt ing Landon, especially when they are told by such men as Hoover and Hearst and Coughlln. In my opinion Governor Landon has s big load to carry with Knox on one shoulder and Hearst on tho other and Hoover bc tweon. It looks to me as It that Is sn awful load for him to carry to the White House and if he can make the trip and land them there he will have ft big Job on hla hands getting rid of them, because they will sure Insist on running the government to suit themsolves. When they find they can't do It, then they will turn their batteries, which, by the way, are rather weak, loose on him or else go off and hide their heads like Hoovor did when he got snowed under. However, I would like to say a lew more words and then I will cut this communlcaton out. It's Just too bad that Mrs. Hurd was so disappointed In President Roosevelt's speech. Per haps she has beon listening to some of the great engineer's wise-cracks which mado Mr. Roosevelt's talk seem so tnme. JOHN B. ORIFFTN, Medford, Ore, October 2. was sn set of unsportsmanlike Intem perance neither Washington, Lincoln or Jefferson permitted themselves under greater provocation. Roosevelt hates too well to be Im pressive In his role of sole savior of the liberal spirit. Herrings of any color smell as fishy on one man's hands as snother. ETven sucb haters of fascist reaction as Sinclair Lewis, Dorothy Thompson and Walter Ltpp. man agree that the real Issue Is not progress versus reaction: It la the choice betweon a man demonstrat ive cautious In making fundamen tal changes who wishes to choose his footing carefully before leaping to the far bank of a stream over which there Is no returning, a con ciliatory listener, a cooperator, and a man whose brilliant achievements. equally desired by all liberals Ir respective of party, are dimmed by equally dismal failures, and shad owed throughout hy an Impulsive haste and a high Intolerance of op position: sweet words for meek sheep. obliteration for the rest. Warburg, Baruch, Johnson, Douglas, are a few of the casualties; Olsss and Oreen- way, unbeatable In their states, es caped. Cooperation from expediency, not from temperament and convic tion, i This Is the record. Is It then un reasonable to ask for fewer assump tions of the goals of Washington and Lincoln? These were modest men, though their mantlei are still too long, their shoes too large for Mr. Roosevelt. CHARLES VOORHIES. Medford, Ore., Oet. 1, Ed. note: The above only demon strates, we think, how the same speech can Impress listeners quite differently. If President Roosevelt Impugned the motives and sincerity of ALL his adversaries, In an Intemperate and unsportsmanlike manner, and if he declared or Intimated outstanding Republican progressives like Charles Taft are against any real reform then we missed it. As we heard the speech the president was very careful to differentiate, between the "real, aot- ual, undercover, Republican leader ship" and the nominal leadership. And he emphasized this by stressing the Republican leadership of four, eight and 12 years ago. In all that he said. This leadership the president deelared In effect, was a reactionary and unenlightened lea ership. and be maintains the REAL O O P. lead ership Is the aame today. One may agree or disagree with this view but In the opinion of this paper, the RECORD, not only during those 12 years, but during the Republican campaign to date, ABSOLUTELY sus tains It.

Roosevelt "Hales Too Well" To the Editor: The president's "red herring" speech was perhaps good politics, but does It fit tho record? No one disputes his sincerity In repudiating communism, nor osn anyone dispute the fact ho will get communist support in November as surely as 'Landon will receive reac tionary support, and Just as un willingly. Both candidates aro lib erals who reject domination by a lunatic fringe whether of progress or reaction. The record shows Landon consist ently ldcntlflod with the progressive element that dominated the Repub lican convention to the ohngrln of the Old Guard. Knox la Just as Im portant as Garner and no more. As to tho younger Republicans: they are led by such men as Charles Tsft, with an unmatched record of civic reform. Is such a backer more dan gerous than the Hearst who nom- nated Roosevelt four years ego? . To state as F. D. R. did, that Lan don and his key men are "not against the way of my reform, but against that reform Itself. Is a wilful perversion of truth on a par with the Hearst attack that provoked It. Let Hearst and Farley play nuisance and white-wing alternately: the president belongs on the crown of the road, You are aware I voted for F. D. R. In '32. Tf I now Incline to Landon, Roosevelt's speech has much to do with It, His disavowal of commu nism wns forthright and fine, but impugning his adversaries' motives IteMk low VPRICES 14 PINT. 35 pint 455 QUART$25 rt MFO.
