...Landon's destructive criticism Tuesday evening was neither good taste nor good politics. Granted that Mr. Roosevelt may be a despot reaching for more power, that he is a "changed man" and a turncoat, and that he has certainly made a grave mistake in the Black episode; nevertheless thoughtful voters want to hear more than that just now. Giving the New Deal the raspberry is easy, but mere negations of its principles wil never attract votes. To do this a positive, independent program is essential.

"Of Thee I Sing" should have remained a final expression; "I'd Rather Be Right" has very little to add to the former's artistic trenchaney. The new work is a highly specific representation of the present administration, with ridicule hurled at everybody in it. Jim Farley, Henry Morgenthau, and Madame Secretary Perkins are undoubtedly fit subjects for the lampooner's art, and the caricatures of them are skillfully drawn. But the President is scarcely touched when...
