To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

There has been much talk by members of the present Administration in Washington that the New Deal is the friend of the common man, and that the only library which they are trying to suppress is the liberty of the wealthy to oppress the many poor. We should be pleased to have the Administration answer whether or not it constitutes oppression when:

1. The Administration passes a law making it possible to put a man in jail for pressing a pair of pants for 15 cents.

2. The Administration passes a law making it possible to convict a man for selling a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread combined for the dictated price of the milk alone.

3. The Administration passes a law placing a processing tax of $1.65 on every barrel of flour, when flour is the basis of the broad which the poor must cat--and pay for.

4. When it passes a law which makes it possible to pay a man for restricting the production of food when millions are on the verge of starvation in this country alone.

5. When it issues an edict making it possible to put a man in prison and fine him $10,000 for refusing to turn over HIS gold to the government.

If the wealthy few oppressed the many before the coming of the present Administration, we can only conclude that the New Dealers must have gone to school where the teachers were "the wealthy few." REMARK.
