Amazing Cartoon from 1934
This amazing cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934. Look carefully at the “plan of action” in the cartoon.
This amazing cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934. Look carefully at the “plan of action” in the cartoon.
In 1934, the Chicago Tribune was run by Colonel Robert R. McCormick, who absolutely HATED Roosevelt and the New Deal. Pictured above, on the sidelines, smiling approvingly of the U.S.’s “spending its way to recovery,” (just like with the recent so-called stimulus bill), are Stalin and Trotsky, champions of Soviet communism.
In the wagon, are characters labeled as being Tugwell, Ickes, Wallace, and Richberg, and they are identified as “Young Pinkies From Columbia and Harvard.” Interestingly, Colonel McCormick was in the Scroll and Key Society at Yale (but that didn’t seem to soften his loathing of these individuals).
Henry Wallace was FDR’s vice president until he got to be SO socialistic and pro-Stalin, that the Democrat party made Roosevelt dump him in his last term for Truman. Wallace ran for president in 1948 in the New Progressive Party, which had a major platform item recommending friendship with the Soviet Union. George McGovern was a Wallace delegate at that convention. The Communist Party of the U.S.A. believed that Wallace’s platform met all their criteria and did not run a candidate that year, instead endorsing Wallace. While VP in May 1944, he had visited Russia, and was convinced by 2 Russian NKVD (pre-KGB) generals that labor camps in Siberia were staffed by “volunteers.” The Mitrokhin Archive of KGB notes infers that he was actually a KGB agent.
Donald Richberg was one of the co-authors (along with Rexford Tugwell and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter) of the National Industrial Recovery Act (later declared unconstitutional) and executive director of the National Recovery Administration (NRA). Although born in Tennessee, he graduated from the University of Chicago and Harvard Law. He was also a law partner with Harold L. Ickes. Richberg served as a special state’s attorney for the City of Chicago, learning “the Chicago way” of doing things.
Harold L. Ickes was Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Interior, and concurrently director of FDR’s Public Works Administration (PWA). Ickes, although born in Pennsylvania, moved to Chicago and graduated from the University of Chicago, learning “the Chicago way” of doing things along the way. Although white, he was at one time president of the Chicago chapter of the NAACP. During World War II Ickes worked with the Congress of American-Soviet Friendship. His son, Harold M. Ickes (Columbia Law School graduate), was White House Deputy Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, and worked on the presidential campaigns for Eugene McCarthy, Ted Kennedy, and Jesse Jackson. In his law practice, he represented Mob-run labor unions with ties to the Lucchese, Colombo, Genovese, Gambino, and other major crime families. He now serves as the Oil Czar for the Obama administration.
Rexford G. Tugwell was part of FDR’s agricultural “Brain Trust” along with several other Columbia University academics. He was a graduate of the Ivy-League University of Pennsylvania, and taught at American University in Paris. In the summer of 1927, a group of future New Dealers was received by Stalin for a full six hours when they traveled along with Tugwell on a junket to the Soviet Union. Tugwell missed the meeting because he was touring a collective farm. He became the head of the Resettlement Administration, a federal agency that relocated the urban poor to the suburbs and impoverished farmers to new rural communities. In 1936, when the RA came under political fire for being overly utopian and socialistic, he resigned from his position. From 1941-1946, he was the appointed governor of Puerto Rico. After his stint as governor, he returned to teaching -- at the University of Chicago.
Isn’t it amazing how the Ivy-League and Chicago connections perpetuate in the ever-growing erosion of traditional American ideals of individual liberty and free markets?
