THE NEW DEAL
MR HOOVER’S APPREHENSION
(United Presß Association--By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
' ; ■ NEW YORK, February 14. Mr Herbert Hoover (former Republican President), in a speech, assailed the New Deal. He asserted that it was “a mixture of coercion, collectivism and lust for personal power.” He declared: “There are three great Missions for the Republican Party. These .are: The preservation of personal, intellectual 1 and economic freedom; economic Restoration and .peace for America by the avoiding- of jany' entanglements in another great -war.” * Mr Hoover termed President Rciosevelt’s policy as an “economic hallucination.” ’*•
After quoting Mr RooseVelt’s saying that this generation has a„ rendezvous with destiny, Mr Hoover commented; “The most probable spot for that rendezvous to-day is inflation. When this generation has gone up that valley, - it will find that freedom is gone,and that our rendezvous will be with a full sized dictator.” 1 ,
