Comment by Raymond Clapper on News in The Athens Messenger
Raymond Clapper criticizes the Republican platform as slanted and cowardly calling for honesty with voters. He accuses leaders of ducking Britain and labor reforms, courting anti Roosevelt sentiment, opposing reciprocal trade, and proposing higher tariffs to shield industry. He argues the party avoids direct stances and fails to address wartime realities and foreign policy.
