THE ROOSEVELT PLAN.

REVOLUTIONARY EFFECTS, EMPHASIS ON MORAL VALUES. PEOPLE SUPPORT PRESIDENT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Monday. Mr. L. A. Mander, formerly of New Zealand, now assis'tant-Professor of Political Science at Washington University, arrived by 'the AOrangi. Commenting on ‘ Mr. Roosevelt’s policy he said 'that the National Recovery Act was likely to 'have much more revolutionary effects on the political system than many Imagined. He did not know what would happen to the federal system under the scheme. The political system had been modified, and there was now a running partnership between, capital and labour and between agriculture and the Government. , An Important aspect of the Roosevelt Movement, as of those of Hitler and Mussolini, was the renewed emphasis plaoed upon moral values and moral tasks In government. For instance, though sectional interests In America were usually dominant, Mr. Roosevelt, in the first month of his plan, had stood out successfully and successively against the banks, the returned soldiers, the Federation of Labour, and Conservative employers, 'and yet had the people with him. There was a feeling that he stood for principles loftier than those prevailing in political parties. /
