One Inspired
In Manhattan last week met 300 garment manufacturers to discuss stabilizing their industry. No. 1 speaker: Demo-cratic Senator Royal Samuel Copeland of New York. Said he:
"I speak not as a Democrat but as one inspired. We are just as near the economic bottom as a country can go. ... A prominent Republican came to me in Washington about present conditions. I told him to go back to President Hoover, sit down in his office and tell the President he could thank God the depression came in the middle of his term. For as sure as fate in 1932 the chimneys will be smoking, the farmers will be getting good crops that will bring them good prices and Mr. Hoover will be reelected. . . . I don't approve of it but it will happen. [Titters in the audience.] I'm serious! He will be!"
