America’s Internal Problems
The view that the President of the United States (Mr Franklin D. Roosevelt) would be returned if he chose to stand for the Presidency again was expressed by Dr G. Joblierns, lecturer in geography at Canterbury University College, who has returned after gpending nine months in the'United States. He said that it had to be remembered, when considering the attitude of the United States to the war, that she faced internal problems of great complexity, and not the least of these was that of the presidential election. He found the Americans a people more or less bewildered after the crash in 1929. Many people who had worked all their lives, getting wealth from the land and turning it into cash, which was deposited in the bank, could not understand where their wealth had vanished to in the crash. In the north-east there was a great deal of industrial activity, but there was a good deal of rural poverty in the south.
