Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the New Deal attack upon the American system 1s
its continued effort to set one group of citizens against another -· an effort to stir up
class warfare 1n the Un1ted States.  
On September 50, 1954, 1n a rad1o address del1vered from the whlte House, Mr. Roose-
velt sa1d: .
"I am not for a return to that def1n1t1on of Liberty under which for many
years a free people were being gradually reglmented 1nto the servlce of the
pr1v1leged few."
On November 29, 1955, speaking at Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"I can reallze that gentlemen 1n well-warmed and well-stocked clubs w1l1
discourse on the expenses of government and the suffering that they are going
through because the government 1s spending money for work relief. I wish I
could take some of these men out on the battle 11ne of human necessity and show
them the facts that we 1n the government are fac1ng."
On January 5, 1956, in his so—called Message to Congress on the state of the Union,
Mr. Roosevelt recalled h1s previous references to "entrenched greed" and "unscrupulous
money changers" and added: .
"They steal the l1very of great nat1onal constitutional ldeals to serve
` discredited special lnterests. As guardians and trustees for great groups of
1nd1v1dual stockholders, they wrongfully seek to carry the property and the
interests entrusted to them 1nto the arena of partlsan po11t1cs."
On January S, 1956, addressing the Flfty Dollar a plate Jackson Day dinner in Wash-
lngton, Mr. Roosevelt said:
_ "we are at peace with the world, but the fight goes on. Our frontiers today
are economic, not geograph1c._ Our enemles are the forces of pr1v1lege and greed
within our borders."
On June 27, 1956, Mr. Roosevelt delivered his acceptance address at Ph1ladelph1a,
1nclud1ng his references to "the pr1v1leged princes of these new economic dynast1es,"
and the "economlc royal1sts."
On August 10, 1956, Mr. Roosevelt addressed a letter to George L. Berry, President
of the organization facetiously known as "Labor's Nonpartisan League," in wh1ch, after
reviewing some of the legislation sponsored by the New Deal, he said:
"Some of the laws which were enacted were declared 1nval1d by the Supreme
Court. It 1s a notable fact that it was not the wage—earners who cheered when
those laws were declared 1nval1d." `
It 1s noteworthy that Mr. Roosevelt has pers1stently endeavored to arouse class
against class, presumably with the Idea that by this method he could lnsure perpetuation
