    "ocrText": "(3)\nThe reason why those who oppose Presidenr Roosvelt's plan for the New\nDeal can find no other means to restore prosperity is that there is no\nother Wa. This nation would fall to beggary on a standard of living based on\nnecessities only. It is the part of wisdom for industry and the enterprises\ncousinly to it to realize this.\n\"The earnest effort of business men in the NRA to find a footing for\nprosperity in that plan shows that the thinkers in business believe\nsincerely in the NRA. This regardless of the loud mouthings of Senator\nRoscoe C. Patterson. They realize that it will take time to recover from\nthe pillage of several generations.\nSenator Patterson is the last exemplar of the dying order. He voted to\ndeny millions food. He voted against giving the million work. He voted\nagainst every effort to take this country from the abyss in which he aid-\ned in plunging it. He is and was part of the sinister and ruthless machine\nwhich brought America to her knees.\nIt was by the aid of Patterson that the Hawley- Smoot tariff bill was\npassed. By it,the last great syphon was put into the pockets of the public.\nIt doubled the preceding tariff rates. This would have gladdened the\nheart of Hanna and the spoliers of his generation.\n\"The back of the machine is broken. Great numbers of Republicans are with\nPresident Roosevelt and are aiding in picking up the wreckage strewn in the\ncrash of their party. They realize now the deceit and the chicanery of\nit all and will be with Roosevelt to the end of the New Deal.\nRECEIVE"
