Dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover I am mailing
to you with my best wishes two sets of N.R.A. plates
designed for motor car display. The mounted one is at-
tached to the rear license plate; the round one can be
either wired to the radiator or bolted at either corner
of the front license plate.
I am also mailing a set of plates
to General Hugh S. Johnson, quoting my selling price.
end/
The idea of using the N.R.A.
insignia in this way, affording as it does another dur-
able and attractive way of keeping "N.R.A" before the
public, originated with my wife. I promptly got in
touch with a manufacturer who specializes in this type
of work with the result as shown.
The success of the idea means
everything to me. Circumstances over which I had no
control resulted in my losing every dollar I possessed.
I have been out of work for a year but still have my
wife, four sons and a daughter SO after all I am rich.
Thank God for you and your reconstructive policies.
If I but knew that you and Mrs.
Roosevelt would attach these plates I would be exceed-
ingly happy.

Dear Sir:
I am sending you under seperate cover a complimentary
copy of my recent book, entitled: The Struggle for Democracy or the Fight
for Right", also pamphlet, entitled: "Original Sin or the Doctrine of the
Fall of Man, refuted.
I take it for granted that you are aware of the fact that
under Christen-dom the whole social fabric, political, religious and moral
is founded upon Jewish Monotheism. This I do not hesitate to say, is the
foulest and most inconsistent doctrine ever perpetrated upon the human
mind. It only gives a tentative solution to two great questions, namely:
Origin and Destiny.
All ancient peoples ( with the exception of the Jews and
Mohammedians) had a Trinity in their Theology this made me study the
Trinity. I now want to go on record as saying the Drama between Might and
Right is & handicap race between the Physical and the Intellectual sides
of a Triune God, The out come is EQUATION, by changing the stage from
Monotheism to Pantheism. The Doctrine that has for its tenet the intell-
ectual conquest of the world so as to make it a fit place to live in.
In changing the subject, I will take it upon myself to say:
You are blazing the trail for the Pantheistic Road with your governing
programme. Man, whether civilized or savage, is only governed by but two
strings, one is Mandate the other is Law. In an ideal state these strings
must be equally adjusted, if they are to hold Justice in the Balance.
In your Home Owners'Loan plan, however there is an awful kink,
which must be ironed out before this theory can become an operative utility,
in the fact that the Government of the United States does not stabilize the
Home Loan Bonds by guaranteeing the payment of the principal at maturity.
Why not, Is there a safer security than Real Estate, when the lender gets
a first Mortgage, a Bond which is a first cousin to a Judgement Note, and
the Fire Insurance Policy?
I am personally interested in this part of the so-called new
deal; I have made application toward refunding my property, but the hitch
lies in finding the investor in Bonds which are not bona-fide.
In the last few years three Banks failed here in Allentown, the
Ridge Avenue Bank, the Jordan Bank and the Allentown Trust Company. Four
more merged with the older Banks; the Citizens with the Merchants National,
the Penn Counties with the Allentown National, the Dime Savings with the
Lehigh Valley Trust Co., and the Liberty Trust with Second National.

What has happened in Allentown to Banks and Finances in the last
few years, transpired all over the United States in the same period of
other finance and wild-cat speculations) is tied up in safe deposit boxes, and
time. This is one reason why, money( which is not lost through funny
at the present time.
places, the other reason is, no safe investment in the money market,
(for refunding homes) have already been filed in the Home Loan Office in
According, to a recent report in the daily paper, 700 applications
Allentown, and not one has been consummated thus far.
I am quite sure that the Home Loan Bonds will work miracles in
restoring confidence in the financial world by bringing money automatically
into circulation again, if they carry with them a redemption clauss; for
the Federal Government, by throwing & blanket over all encumberances on
a home, by wiping out first and second Mortgages, and delinquent Taxes,
removes the risk of second Mortgage money, which, aside from the Home Loan
Plan would be the only factor that would save from fore-closure an encum-
bered home. Second Mortgage money is not in the financial market at the
present time, but the Home Loan Bond will once more bring it to the fore,
by placing it on a par with the first, providing the Bond is stable and
negotiable.
In order to catch fish one must have a rod, line and hook, this
is Law, and of course bait or lure, which belongs to the Mandatory side
of fishing. In your Home Loan Bonds, the issue comes by Law, but Mandate
must come from & free and untrammeled Will, and this will not come as long
as the Security hovers between an asset and a liability; the land sharks
simply will not bite on such bait.
In conclusion, let me say, here and now: Your Home Loan Plan is
a marvel, FOR GOOD INTENT, but there is one kink in the construction, WHICH
IS AN AWFUL HANDICAP! namely: No guarantee for the Principal, the recti-
fication of this fault, will be the TRIUMPH OF TRUTH OVER ERROR.
There never, (since its inception) was 8. more opportune time, for
the Democratic Party to vindicate itself of the malicious diatribe, hurled
from time to time from the Republican Ranks, v1z: "Not able to govern",
than now. This can not be accomplished through chicanery and subterfuge,
which would be adding HANDICAP TO HANDICAP, (the first and last CAUSE OF
THIS INFERNAL PANIC) but through open warfare on all UNTENABLE THEORIES.
So in the name of the ETERNAL, guarantee the PRINCIPAL ON THE HOME LOAN
BONDS, THEREBY MAKING THEM BONA-FIDE, and you once will once more restore con-
fidence in the monetary world, thus driving for all, this funeral pall,
from the face of the earth. For a Government Bond that is backed up by a
Mortgage on Real Estate, that does not Guarantee The Principal, is inferior
as Security to a Promissory Note.
Yours for the Triumphs of Democracy.

The National Reconstruction Association, founded by public-spirited, liberty-
loving, law-abiding American citizens using their Constitutional rights under the Con-
stitution of the United States to organize and work for National Legislation for un-
employment relief.
The Association is circulating, by personal contact, a National Petition to Con-
gress to have legislation enacted for a six-hour day and a five-day week and the ap-
pointment by Congress of a National Labor Commission to enforce and make any
adjustments necessary in order to eliminate unemployment.
"An economic revolution has come upon us. Our immediate problem is to mas-
ter the machine. There is little economic gain in attacks on markets, as in stock ex-
change investigations; in fact, there is a distinct loss. There is little gain in attacking
consumers by pay cuts; in fact, there is an economic loss."
-Rep. Loring M. Black, New York.
"The hours of work must be reduced materially, if we are to believe there are
now nearly 10,000,000 unemployed. At the same time, however, the rate of pay must
not be reduced."
-L. N. Gross, Mfrs., Cleveland, Ohio.
"The Government at Washington is trying to cure the evils by helping the people
at the top, but nothing has been done, as yet, that relieves the misery of the millions
at the bottom."
-Claude G. Bowers, Author.
"The principle of sharing work in a depression such as this is comparable to what
is done by civilized people in a famine situation. If there is but a limited amount
of food to go around, no one suggests four-fifths fully and letting the other fifth
starve. The available food is rationed. That is what we now recommend be done
with work, because there is a partial famine in jobs, which are basic to obtaining the
necessities of life."
-Walter Teagle, Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
The National Reconstruction Assn.
ITS PURPOSE, MOTIVE AND GOAL OF ACHIEVEMENT
$ $ %
The National Reconstruction Association is non-political, and non-sectarian for
the service of humanity, without opposition to any fraternity, church, order or or-
ganization.
The National Reconstruction Association has been founded by liberty-loving,
law-abiding Americans whose one and only desire is to see that the great mass of
unorganized American citizens be given an equal and equitable opportunity to earn
an honest living and enjoy the liberty and happiness guaranteed to them by the Con-
stitution of the United States.
To curb reasonably and sanely the pronounced tendencies to excessive concen-
tration of power and wealth, in order to secure justice to all and to prevent radical
and perhaps ever revolutionary propensities that would shake the foundations of gov-
ernment and society.
The Association, thru personal contact, is organizing throughout the United
States the right thinking public-spirited citizens who realize the time has come for
them to act in an organized front against the organized racketeering corruption and
graft that is striking at the root of the foundation of our country and even our
homes.
The Association proposes thru the power of public opinion, backed by organ-
ization, to provide an equitable distribution of available work at once, followed by
an intensive campaign for an equal distribution of the profits of labor and farmer
through the Rational Reconstruction of our Economic System.
The greater the membership of the Association the quicker we can realize the
goal and the greater will be its influence, the better can it serve the helpless masses.
If the principles and proposed activities meet your approval, lend your support
to this movement by joining the Association at once and assisting actively in its
program.
1. Fifty-one per cent of the House of Representatives and the Senate can enact
legislation which would restore this country to normalcy and start us on the road to
prosperity.
218 Representatives
51%. Can eliminate unemployment through legislation.
49 Senators
Forget unsound economic theories, inane promises, get down to fundamentals,
conquer the machine; put men to work-sign the petition-join the Association.
Dues, one dollar yearly. The Association desires to present to Congress the petition
signed by 20,000,000 citizens, backed by an enrollment of 1,000,000 members.
2. The Association does not solicit contributions or donations. The only
source of income to propagate its purpose and object is the small membership fee, which
is not compulsory but voluntary. The income received through membership fees is
spent in the National campaign to rid the country of unemployment, poverty and
to give the individual his Constitutional right to earn an honest living.
If the voter and taxpayer is interested and anxious to help himself and help to
free the United States from the present wave of unemployment and depression, he
may co-operate by joining the Association, which is his Association and which is fight-
ing his battle, the only way is through organization.

The copper plate was made from a photograph taken of

by William Stevens, and I took the liberty of asking you to
present this to the President at your pleasure. The possibility
occurs to me that you may never have received the proof, and

My dear Mr. President:
The accompanying gavel was made from a fallen branch of
the General Sherman Tree growing in Sequoia National Park.
As you know, this ancient tree is the largest living thing in
the world and probably the oldest since its age has been es-
timated to be between three and four thousand years. The
gavel was made expressly for you by Captain J. L. Harrod of
the Sheriff's Office of Los Angeles. Captain Harrod's hobby
is cabinet making, and I am told by the Director of the Office
of National Parks, Buildings, and Reservations that he is a
frequent and welcome visitor to Sequoia Park where he is con-
sidered an authority on police matters.
It gives me pleasure to transmit to you this interesting
token of esteem from a California admirer.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. President:-
We read with great interest, the other day, of the fact
that a garment was made in Texas by some college students
and presented to you, and we are writing to inquire if we
could present you with an end of a Fleece Overcoating made
in the State of Michigan from the raw stock to the finished
product.
This fabric is of knitted construction and is very pliable
and a wonderful fabric to wear. We enclose a sample and
would consider it a great honor if you would permit us to
send you enough yardage for a garment.

The Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. President:
One year ago I decided to close the Ornamental Cedar
Fence Co. because of the depression. This, however, did not meet
with the approval of my employees who ordinarily received from ten
to twelve dollars per day each, and, after holding a meeting, they
requested that I allow them to operate the business themselves.
Rather than put them out of work or carry them at a reduced wage,
I turned the business over to them. With commerce failing through-
out the country, business melted away each month until the Ornamental
Cedar Fence Co. was finally buried.
At that time, I felt the necessity of a change of Govern-
ment, so I prepared to migrate to the mountains to get away from the
Revolution that was certainly about to come.
On the first of March of this year when the banks were

Mr. President:
Please accept in separate inclosure
a bronze plaque with my compliments. This plaque re-
presents my efforts to portray the greatest President
in my 55 years of recollection, modeled from photo-
graphs gathered from newspapers and magazines. It is
more difficult to portray a frontal view, in low re-
lief, than in profile, but we came to know you from
your published photographs with a face to face view
SO well that the customary profile view could hardly
do.
In order to get the benefit of my
efforts, it is necessary that the plaque receive some
direct light from above, to cast shadows over the
subject. If it is convenient to hang the plaque in
a place with a light above it or above and a little
in front and a little to the right of the picture it
will represent the angle of light under which the
plaque was modeled. It can also be laid on a table
or desk with the top of the plaque towards the win-
dow and produce a good effect. Strong lights cast
a strong picture and dim the reverse. Different color-
ed lights give different colors to the picture pro-
duced. This plaque is just as it came from the molds
at the foundry except, that it was sand blasted to
remove the adhering molding sand, the edges polished
and the whole lacquered.
I intended to commercialize these
plaques and I would beg your permission to do so.
I was also legally informed that in order to procure
protection from the U. S. Patent or Copyright Office
it is necessary that I obtain your permission to use
your portrait.
I believe I should tell you Mr.
President, so long as I solicit your consent, that
after I have paid the foundrier for the bronze cast-
ings and other work, the cartage and a reasonable
commission to salesmen I will still be able to sell
the plaque for $5.00.
Best wishes to our President.

Dear Mr. President:
Nothing happens in the Universe that is not from a
cause. There are many who claim to be analysts - but few who actually
are - hence few people understand cause and effect. Most Doctors are
treating effects and know nothing of the cause. I know of no banker who
knows "Scientific Finance".
Our rather selfish Banking System is the cause of
the present state of affairs, in this country.
I am a close observer and for fifty years I have been
correctly informed of the causes of the effects produced. We, in most
happenings, have to analyze the motive actuating the cause to know why?
I am familiar with the Federal Reserve and who in-
fluenced its structure and also the League of Nations and the World Court,
and who had the ulterior motive behind them.
I admire your honesty, your courage and ability and I
think, you have arrived at the point where you do not allow your wish to
control your thought. I hope and think you are 100% American.
I am attaching to this a book, privately published by
an honest American gentieman, who possessed, in my estimation, the best
brain since Alexander Hamiiton.
I know there is nothing but truth between its covers.
Read it, believe it, digest it, let Col. Howe do the same. Act on its
information and this countries troubles will disolve.
Wishing you health, happiness and success, I remain,
Sincerely,
Nelson Hiss
