Robinson Defends Smith by Recalling 1920s New Deal Roots
Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas rebutted Al Smith’s recent New Deal criticisms by citing Smith’s own speeches from 1928 and 1923 supporting NRA relief farm aid public works and federal spending. Robinson argued Smith once endorsed Roosevelt era policy and accused Smith of abandoning the common man for privilege, returning to a sharp political pose-off.

Wealth and Debt in America From 1926 to Depression Era
The National Industrial Conference Board estimates U S wealth at 3851 000 000 000 in 1926 and 247 000 000 000 at the depth of the depression. The gap totals 114 000 000 000 with a return toward 1929 levels, while national clubs and public debt rise. An optimistic view suggests debt growth could reach 25 000 000 000, with eventual resources recovering fivefold the debt increase.
