EFFORTS MISSFIRE?

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. NEW DEAL AND NEXT ELECTION. The "new deal" plan in the United States does not meet with the approval of everybody connected with business and Mr. David A. Hamburger, the owner of a large department store building in Los Angeles, who is a through passenger by the Monterey for Sydney, predicted this morning that President Roosevelt would be defeated at the next election. "As a general rule his administrative efforts have missed," he said. "In fact everything he has advocated has missed and the Supreme Court has ruled against four of his measures which he put through in defiance of the constitution. The country has got to give back millions of dollars collected from the people illegally. "During the present Administration the country's debt has been increased to an sntent that represents the total borrowing of presidents for the preceding 175 years. Last year lie ran the country into debt totalling three billion dollars over and above incomc. It is anticipated that over 00 per cent of the people will vote against Mr. Roosevelt at the presidential election. He will lie sure of the votes of the office seekers and those on the'dole." ■ Mr. Hamburger said that Governor Landon of Kansas would probably be the Republican nominee. Governor Smith of New York might come out on an; independent ticket. If that j "Roosevelt's goose is cooked," he concluded.
