German Press Terms Roosevelt National Socialist
BERLIN, Jan. 14—(U.E)— President Roosevelt “speaks along the lines of national Socialist thought” in the economic and social parts of his message to congress, the Boersen Zeitung said editorially today.
The newspaper maintained that President Roosevelt realizes that by identifying the United States with Britain to an unlimited degree not only in a foreign political sense but also along domestic, political, social, and economic lines, he is forced to whip up the American people into a blind, passionate mood j of fear and hate, and, while they are in this mood, secure the coveted full power of authority,” the newspaper said.
The Boersen Zeitung asserted, j however, that it is possible the American people will hesitate to grant such sweeping powers which would terminate an existing epoch of American democracy.
It added that farmers, businessmen. and workers do not know what their respective places will be and what their freedom would be like under the Roosevelt order, to what extent the state will be empowered to control the people’s social and economic life and, finally, what will be left of the democratic way of life.
