Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential aspirant, criticized the Roosevelt administration over past arms policies and funding. Speaking to North Carolina Young Republicans via radio, he argued the New Deal uses hysteria to hide seven years of mistakes and cited Roosevelt’s recent war-risk messages and a fireside chat about armed forces.
