sunny heights of prosperity.
I count on you journalists
for inspiration and support.
In future, all questions will have to be
submitted in writing...
24 hours before these meetings.
Today, however, the president
has very generously consented...
to answer a few
questions directly.
Mr Paterson...
Does the president intend to grant
John Bronson an interview?
The president didn't catch the name...
John Bronson, the leader
of all the unemployed.
The president considers John Bronson
a dangerous anarchist.
If he comes near The White House,
he'll be arrested.
The president hasn't forgotten
that Bronson heads a million men...
who are armed and unemployed.
On the last count, there were
in the public parks
of our largest cities.
The president considers the whole question
of unemployment a local problem.
Is the administration
going to take any action...
on the racketeering that
is rampant in the country?
Are notorious gangsters like Mick Diamond
going to get away with it?
My administration also regards Mick Diamond
and all racketeers as local problems.
We choose to believe that bootlegging and
all forms of racketeering will disappear...
as soon as the public become educated
to respect the 18th Amendment.
- Mr Thieson...
- Mr President...
My paper's indictment against the
government is a staggering one.
Starvation and want
is everywhere.
From coast to coast
and from Canada to Mexico.
Millions of dollars are poured
into new battleships.
Farmers burn corn and wheat...
Food is thrown away into the sea...
while men and women are
begging for bread.
Men are freezing without coats,
while cotton rots in the fields.
Thousands of homeless...
Millions of vacant homes.
Over 5,000 gangland murders
last year.
Yet only 5 gangsters imprisoned...
Not for killing, but for
income tax violations.
What does the new administration
say to this.
What answer, what definite plan does the
government have to this indictment?
This tale of misery and horror,
of lost hope, of broken faith...
of the collapse of
the American democracy.
Young man,
Through you, I shall speak
to all of my country.
America will weather this depression,
as she has weathered other depressions.
Through the spirit of Valley Forge...
the spirit of Gettysburg
and the spirit of the Argon.
The American people have risen before,
and they will rise again.
Gentlemen, remember...
to prosperity.
- May the president be quoted?
- The president may not be quoted.
If you don't stop asking questions, we won't
have any place to sleep for the next 4 years.
Well boys, can I be of any
