■ I'**
After reading “Big Jim" Farley’s article, “Why
I Broke With Roosevelt", currently appearing in Col
lier’s magazine, we are forced to the conclusion that
“Big Jim" is adding absolutely nothing to his stature
—and is substracting little if any from that of the late
president.
We admit surprise that “Big Jim" would let his
“ghost writer" go as far as he has in his tirade against
the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. We do not believe that
any man can build himself up by seeking to tear an
other man dowh^^—especially when the other man is
y dead and cannot defend himself.
In that connection .let us add that the splenetic
and irascible Westbrook Pegler has been proven
guilty of falsehood in his statement that the late presi-
dent had purchased only one or two $60 war bonds.
Facts proved that Mr. Roosevelt expended well over
a hundred thousand in purchasing dif war bonds.
Getting back to “Big Jim". He wanted to be
president. He wanted big money. Roosevelt did not
cooperate with hiin in these ambitions. Mr. Farley
now vents his disappointment by seeking to smear the
late president
