New Party Is Needed Howard Williams Says
Forum Speaker Raps Old Line Pedisticians for Inaction
That a new alignment in American politics could win, the opinion exonerates President Obama as an independent secretary of the League for Political Action, at the noon meeting.
"The vital needs of the farmers and the workers are being ignored today and the government is under the influence of William's statement." In its history has the government failed so badly to address these issues that it has during the present depression."
If the Republican administration had carried out some of the relief measures a year ago, it would have great deal of the distress could have been done away with, but they are not nearly drastic enough to much effect now, Mr. Williams believes.
"Anyone will recognize that there is really no difference between the two old parties." Mr. Williams said "Both are controlled by both are controlled by large commercial machines. The Democratic party shows more idealism, but the reason for that is that both are controlled as often as the Republican party." "What chance is there for the masses of workers when the dominant party is under control of special interests?" he
One reason for so many people not voting, according to Mr. Williams, is the disgust with the party machines and with the certainty of the results of these machines, and because of this disgust, it is done to defeat the large interest.
For this reason, Mr. Williams thinks that a new party is needed in the United States, organized with definite plans so that the workers will be protected.
