Praise President's Talk
A Daily Mail dispatch from London on April 1 reports The Daily Mail view of President Roosevelt's speech as unusually important. It argues the socialist claim that wealth disparity proves bias is false and that wealth creation serves the community by lowering costs or improving supply. The Express hails it as momentous and Roosevelt’s high standing lends weight. The Daily News asserts the plea for painless extinction of rich men will sway public opinion, contrasting with Hardie's inheritance and income limits proposals.
