Abstract:
With the Roosevelt Administration still a reality
rather than an historical fact, it is with great difficulty
that emotionalism can be avoided in an attempt to study it.
The policies of this Administration have been such a distinct departure from what we Americans have heretofore
considered to be the function of government in economic
matters that we must readjust our thinking to accommodate
such changes. This should not be considered an insurmountable
difficulty. Every age has been faced with change and
motion, but to accept an unscholarly approach for this
reason is to admit that no scholarly approach to any problem is possible. Even though certain feelings of this kind
enter into this discussion, benefits may come from an
attempt at rationalism. Some individual in the future may
be able to gather together the facts to bring understanding
of these events.
