...Reaction. It has sought to advance its social liberalism through economic policies which, historically and in their current effect on American enterprise, are profoundly reactionary. In defining certain central policies of the New Deal as reactionary, this Committee is neither juggling words nor attempting to coin an artificial campaign slogan. The record speaks for itself...
...academic mind, that a "war boom" is the answer to the nation's economic ills. Any man with $100,000,000 in his pocket, earmarked "to be spent for peace only," would have to face that belief, and cudgel it out of existence with fact and argument and slogan.

...Experience has taught us that Latin peoples, yes, even the peoples of distant Japan, are incomparably closer to us in their attitude toward life and philosophy than our 'Germanic cousins' on the British Isles." But while Germany gained a theory it lost a favorite old slogan: "Gott strafe England!" The argument: "If God, on whom the Germans called in vain 25 years ago was really capable of exercising such a measure of punitive power, He would not have waited till 1940 to punish the British," stated the paper.
