Roosevelt Addresses National Democratic Club
RESIDENT ROOSEVELT delivered what may be his first campaign speech before New York City’s National Democratic Club. He urged rising buying power to lift wages and prices, while denying inflation. He contrasted criticism with confidence and defended deficits as part of growth. A second item notes a new 800 million tax bill facing a fierce House battle, with Republicans labeling it unsound and aimed at regimentation, though administration leaders predicted passage before May.
