PRICE TEN CENTfc
new YORK. Oct., 15,—John N.
Garner, Democratic candidate for
vice-president, charged the admin
istration with having concealed
deficits during the depression. He
charged the administration with
“abusing confidence” “hiding the
truth”, and “substituting pretence
for actuality”, and described Presi
dent Hoover's statement that the
country had at one time been with
in two weeks of leaving the gold
standard as “a libel on the credit
of the United States.”
“Because of my position in the
government, I know there was
never a warrant for saying that we
were on the edge of financial col
lapse. world crash and government
failure. The whole thing is ab
surd. I cannot conceive that Mr.
Mellon or Mr. Mills should have
made such a statement, nor can I
conceive that President Hoover
would have uttered such an ob
vious error unless somebody had
told him that such was the fact”.
Garner denied that ,the latest
stage of depression had been a re
percussion from abroad. “It came
from our own folly and illusion,
net the least of which w’as that
prosperity was so great that pover
ty would soon be abolished”.
Citizen President Hoover’s 1928
statement of policies for agricul
ture and industry and the subse
quent development in these fields.
Garner declared was “financing
loans to crippled countries was
folly. Increasing tariffs destroyed
foreign trade and made debt pay
ment impossible”. The cause of
continued depression was ascribed
by Garner to the deficit. Hiram
Johnson will not support Hoover,
he said.
