Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
As a simple gift from an incidental, to a studied,
economist, I am mailing to you separately today a copy of a
book, " PROTECTION'S BROOD, " written by my father, William W.
Crehore, in 1911. I am sorry that I have not an unsoiled copy
at hand.
Of course by now many things the book objected to
have been remedied, however the encomiums it won from the few
thinkers who were privileged to read it, make me confident
that you will enjoy it if you will read it. A glance at the
Table of Contents will disclose that the main theme is the
ensuing BROOD of evils, not PROTECTION itself.
Yours respectfully,
John D. Crehore

SYNOPSIS.
ver
The average man is giving more thought to social prob-
lems that he ever did before, and this volume aims to
show him how to use certain definite and well established
economic principles in reaching for himself logical con-
not
clusions that will appeal to his reason and common sense.
The live issues of the day in business and politics are
: so
discussed in a popular and readable style, the reader's own
experience being relied upon to supply most of the facts
necessary to the arguments. There is no denying that the
widening influence of monopoly, the too frequent recur-
rence of hard times and many other obstructions to
healthy business development in this country are due to
some basic cause which has been operating for a genera-
tion but with more energy than ever during the past twelve
or fifteen years. To attribute this cause in the last analysis
to the tariff policy of our government will account for
practically all forms of discrimination and unequal
advantage which are themselves the means of engendering

is going out of business in these lines, as for instance
the milk and beef trades, and the result is an increased
scarcity just when there ought to be an extra supply. A

To the Editor
Liberty Weekly
P.O. Box 556
Grand Central Station
New York, N.Y.
Dear Sir:
I am sending you two articles, the theme,
"Making Spiritual Values Practical in the N R A codes
of the New Deal" and "America's Blue Eagle". It is
a call not to arms, but to all, which I offer for pub-
lication in the weekly edition of the Liberty Weekly.
The articles were inspired by a dream several
weeks before we had ever heard of the birth of the
"Codes" or the "Blue Eagle" symbol. I am confident that
these articles are sufficiently true to life and "local
color" to commend them to your literary editor.
I had this dream June 8. -"Scene - Soldiers
Field, Chicago . a glorious day - huge crowd waiting for
a program, but no one seemed to know what it was going
to be or what it was all about.
Suddenly a dark cloud appeared on the horizon.
Everybody looked up so frightened and screamed, "It is
a big black bird." I looked up and said to my loved ones,
"Why it is the American Eagle", the only bird known to
soar the great heights and face the sun without flinching.
He is our mascot, and for the first time returned from the
International conference with all his feathers. Look how
beautiful he is. He has turned sapphire blue with a red
pheasant tail.
Everybody expressed great danger. I said, let
us go we cannot afford to associate with people who
doubt God. There will be poverty and suffering as long
as the world is filled with fear, doubt and ignorance of
this unseen, invisible, almighty God.
Then just as suddenly as the cloud disappeared,
we were surrounded by an enormous boby of water and quite
far out in the water, two extremely large boulders appeared.
The crowd became terrified more than before. Such doubting

This life's symbol makes no distinction
between rich or poor, and the greater the need, the
more unusual task, this infinite power will accomplish,
demanding that we have faith and confidence in God, in
ourselves, and our Country.
While waiting, one stone turned, it was only
an empty shell; the other stone was being washed into
the sea of nothingness.
Such terror of the men at the crossways, not
knowing what road to take. I said, I am so glad I got
so well acquainted with God, his power and his univer-
sal thinking mind before I realized how much I needed
him as the whole world needs God, this wonderful
Something right now, for man is made or unmade by him-
self. We are in the force of destiny.
As we left, we had to walk up a very high in-
cline and go out two openings, with the doors nailed back,
which none could close, I said, What we are unable to per-
form, God will accomplish, if we only love and trust him
and his disciples on the road of today who do not come to
destroy, but to lead us forward, the way beyond and help
us to help ourselves."
People are very much concerned about my dreams
as I have had many which have foretold important events
and happenings, for instance, several weeks prior to the
crash of 1929; two nights before Knute Rockne's death;
the collapse of the International conference and many of
the important happenings in this administration, so natural-
ly, my dreams have been and are being closely followed,
This dream of June 8, especially, has created
a great deal of comment; it has been such an inspiring up-
lift to many people and it is through their suggestion
that I present it to you.
The articles were broadcast by me over W G N
Chicago.
I am pleased to do my part by contributing
these articles for publication in your Liberty Weekly,
and would appreciate your notifying me as to the date of

Dear Miss Le Hand.
You may, or may not, possibly recollect
receiving a suggestion for the furtherence of your
export trade, which you were kind enough to submit
to Mr Roosevelt.
As a British visitor to your most interesting
country, I do feel that I owe a debt of gratitude
to my hosts, 80 the enclosed cuttings will at least
serve to show you that I am doing my little bit to
try and assist.
I am also sending you under seperate cover
"Hardy's Angler's Guide. Knowing that Mr Roosevelt
is a Heen fisherman, I thought that he might like to
receive something from a brother angler, which, I venture
to say is the finest production in the world.
I hasten to say that I have no interest at all in
the firm in question except that I always use their
rods, and I think that a genial cheery sportsman such
as is your President would appreciate something to,
at least momenturily, distract his attention from
the cares of state.
I anticipate leaving y ur hospitable
shores ere long, my next trip being. Monte Carlo.
Ireland. London. Buenos Aires. Punta Arenas,and
then way down to Estancia Via Monte on the Beagle
Channel. ( Not very far from Cape Horn)
They want me to run an English Paper in
Punta Arenas. I started it years ago, and it seems
to need a bit of re-organising.
Do please Miss Le Hand, assure you esteemed President
that a visiting Britisher has had a delightful holiday
in his country, has met the utmost courtesy and
civility on every side, and has, in a very minor way,
done his best to help the branch that he is interested
in. ie. Export trade.
Very sincerely yours.

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
Representatives of the Colorado
Turkey Growers have called upon Senator Costigan
expressing their desire to present to the President
dinner. a twenty-eight pound turkey for his Thanksgiving
During the past few years the
turkey industry in Colorado has grown to remark-
able proportions, largely due to the cooperation
which has been given the growers by the federal
government. Under the direction of the Department
of Agriculture experiments have been conducted
X
during the past few years in raising caponized
turkeys. The Colorado growers have obtained
national recognition through the results of this
work. It is one of these birds that they desire
to present to the President.
Any suggestions which you might
make with respect to the President's desire or
willingness to accept a gift of this kind would
be greatly appreciated.
Very sincerely yours,

Senator Costigan

It is hoped that you may find pleasure in planting these
fruits and entertaining visions of their future greatness.
Democratic party in this state appears to be wholly in the
hands of the predatory interests of both old parties, this
belief is borne out in noting the Federal appointments as
well as in the nominations for office in both parties.
Cuckoo Sinclair has an excellent chance of being the next
Governor and, thereby hangs a long and sordid tale.
Money is still too high priced, is it an impossibility to
have an international conference on money matters with a
view of stabilizing same? money of redemption and representative
money seem to need attention very badly, gold alone can not
serve the world as redemption money for the simple reason
that the supply is not now and, never will be sufficient in
quantity, both silver and gold must be required to perform
the duty of redemption, representative money without redemption
money to back it up is fiat money and worthless like the
German marks are to-day. (old issue up to 1922)
Never mind Bill Hearst, he does not know what he wants and
will not be satisfied until he gets it.
It is not believed that you need much, if any advice, you

interpret that to mean; Well done, thou good and faithful

A Famous Command:
The Richmond Light ack10-25
Infantry Blues
ws
By Colonel John A. Cutchins
T
HIS book is more than the story of the Richmond Blues. It is the history of
Richmond for one hundred and forty-five years, told in the activities of A
FAMOUS COMMAND. It is a record of the service of thousands of her finest sons
in peace and in war. It is the story of responsive and enlightened citizenship, finding
its outlet in patriotic and useful service. That service began with "General" Gabriel's
slave insurrection and continued with the troubles with the British and the War of
1812. Meanwhile the politics of the times found entry into the councils of the Com-
ests
pany and partisanship ran high. Every movement for liberty in other sections of the
world found ready sympathy in the hearts of the members of the Blues, and found
expression in the records of the Company's meetings and in actual gifts. The jealousy
of the power of the new central government is observed in the activities of the mem-
bers of the Company, while the social life of the times is fully reflected. Particapat-
ing in the reception of practically every distinguished visitor within the city's gates,
oftentimes acting as hosts, the Blues took part in the memorable reception to La-
fayette, and at one time entertained the President and Vice-President of the United
States.
The spectre of civil war then intruded upon the peaceful and happy existence of
the Company, and John Brown's Raid brought prominently to the fore the ominous
approach of hostilities. Preparations for the conflict were made and after its mem-
bers had tried, as did all Virginians, to avert the calamity, the old Company was one
of the first to volunteer for the War Between the States, and its remnant of sixteen
survivors surrendered with the immortal Lee at Appomattox.
For the first time a full and complete account of the participation of Richmond's
famous military command in that historic struggle is fully recorded, and what a
record it is! Written with a soldier's understanding of all war means the "war chap-
ters" are of thrilling interest. The campaign in Western Virginia, the tragic battle
of Roanoke Island, service on the Peninsula and around Richmond, the defense of
Charleston, South Carolina, the soul-trying days in the defense of Petersburg,
Walthall Junction, the Crater, Hatcher's Run, Sailor's Creek, the retreat from
Petersburg, Appomattox!-all are described, ofttimes in the language of the par-

Writes President that he is sending him a chair, which the
Spainiards some 200 yrs. ago introduced for their siestas. Hopes he will
find it comfortable. Regrets he cannot see President before he returns
to Philippines. Is sailing Nov. 30 from San Francisco. Says the Constitu-
tional Convention is drafting the constitution of the commonwealth of
the Philippines which will be ready for submission to President before
January. Hopes it meets with approval. Congratulates President upon re-
sults of elections. President wrote from Warm Springs, Nov. 29, thank-
ing for delightful chair. Says he is disappointed he will not see him
before he returns, but hopes he will keep him (President) in touch with
events as they develop this coming winter in Philippines. Delighted that
his (Sen. Quezon's) operation turned out SO well.

I make no attempt to tell you of the thrill it gave us to
receive the President, Mrs. Roosevelt and their party - but I
do want to say that I was particulary pleased to have the
pleasure of meeting you. If you will come back to Nashville
when you have more time we'll show you more Jacksonbooks.
Sincerely, Mary (Mrs. French Winston Faldwell Caldwell)

Mr. Marvin H. McIntyre,
Secretary to the President,
Warm Springs, Georgia.
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
I am sending you under separate
cover a scroll which we had intended to present to
President Roosevelt while he was seated at the Hermitage
table. We understood after it had been prepared, however,
that nothing was to be presented to him, so I requested
Mrs. Blackie and Mrs. McAlister, our charming First Lady,
to give him the information which it contained about the
Jackson music which was being played for him. Perhaps
he will be interested in seeing the scroll - you, of
course, will be the judge of that. I am sending it to
you with the request that, if it is permissible, you
present it to him.
I should like very much to send you and others members
of the presidential party copies of my little book,
Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, if you wish one and if
you think that the others will care to have it. Will
you please give me a list of the party with correct
names and titles, in order that I may autograph the
copies for them?
I am very much interested in the future of the Hermitage
and in making the Jackson story known to the nation. It
has an unusuad significane in times like the present. The
little log Hermitage, to which Jackson returned as the victor
of New Orleans, still stands a few hundred yards from the
brick mansion. I have been working for five years or more
on details of its history and feel that now we have enough
authentic material to warrant our going ahead with plans for
preserving, restoring and furnishing it. We need, also,
to extend the back boundaries of the estate in order that
we may always have sufficient land to guarantee the atmosphere
of peace and quiet which is one of the charms of the
Hermitage estate.
I speak as an individual citizen - not as the representative
of any organization - when I say that I believe that only
through properly worked out plans for making the Hermitage
a great national shrine can these and other important matters
be handled satisfactorily.
I make no attempt to tell you of the thrill it gave us to
receive the President, Mrs. Roosevelt and their party - but I
do want to say that I was particulary pleased to have the
pleasure of meeting you. If you will come back to Nashville
when you have more time we'll show you more Jacksonbooks.
Sincerely, Mary Stunds (Mrs. Winston foldwell Caldwell)
