POLITICAL CAMOUFLAGE
The spectacle of Secretary of the Treasury Mills
challenging Candidate Roosevelt to be more specific in
criticizing the Hoover administration, and citing expendi
tures in New York State in rebuttal of charges of proflig
acy on the part of the Government in power, the public is
given another example of political jockeying and juggling
with the purpose in view of diverting the minds of the
people from realities they can understand, to a red herr
ing.
It is not so much what the administration has been
guilty of m the form of ommission and and commission in
the face of the depression, but what it failed to do to pre- J
vent it.
Taken up seriatim the panic was engineered andj
launched in Wall Street after the same manner employed
by Jay Gould Tweed and other stellar lights of financial
piracy back in 1873. The similarity of the two conditions
is striking, differing only in the financial policy of the
Government which permitted Gould and his associates to
corner the gold supply.
It will be recalled that from 1869 to just prior to the
panic of 1873, things were booming, with the politicians
giving to the plunderers everything they asked; votng
money for visionary projects like railroads and canals,
harbors and turnpikes. Instead of sounding a warning
to the people, the administration joined with the boomers
in stampeding them back to the stock market, promising
that the boom conditions would continue. It is a note
worthy fact that the first millionaires were created in
that period.
When the old bunko game was again launched by Wall
Street, and in face of the historical background to serve as
a guide, the administration and Congress followed the
same lines as that of 1873, issued statements that prosper
ity was “just around the corner’’ and became participes
eriminis in one of the most gigantic national raids ever
staged.
There is little wonder the public has all but lost
faith in their leaders and institutions.
The time has not yet arrived when every man is cap
able of thinking for himself. It is a natural trait to repose
confidence in leadership, were it not so, anarchy would
reign. The abuse of this confidence is the most damag
ing charge that can be laid against the present Congress
and administration.
But there can be no permanent safeguard until the
mass divorces itself from the idea that “only saps work”.
Of those who by dint of sheer luck emerge from an orgy
of gambling and speculation but few have accumulated a
fortune. Only those who deal the game win.
When Woodrow Wilson entered the White House a
/similar raid w^as being organized. His admonition to Wall
Street was: “The first man who starts a panic will go to
jail.”
A warning such as this, together with a clear state
ment of what might follow an orgy of stock buying, might
have saved the nation from its present disgrace.
