Folio sheet, folded to [4] pages, each page 9" x 14-3/4," and printed in two columns. Caption title, as issued. Old horizontal folds. Fine. "[Reprint from Congressional Record]" at bottom of page 4. Long, perhaps America's greatest political orator, begins his speech by announcing "that the White House orders of the Roosevelt administration have declared war on Huey Long." Analyzing the alleged differences between the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations, he says, "Maybe you see a little change in the man waiting on the tables; but back in the kitchen the same set of cooks are fixing up the victuals for us that cooked up the mess under Hoover." Mocking the failures of the New Deal, Long presents his Share the Wealth program for ending the depression: first, a huge tax on wealth, so "no one will own more than a few million dollars." The tax revenues would be used to lift the poorest citizens out of poverty. Then, free education through college, a reduced work week, increased agricultural production, old age pensions, veterans' bonuses.
