A. READING COMPREHENSION:
When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932,
not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an
economic depression. Following the termination of World War I, Britain and the United
States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s
ushered in a number of things - prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world,
rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.
October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations
worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the Great Crash, as it is called, and
the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank,
and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932.
Germany in the postwar years suffered from extreme deprivation because of
onerous reparations it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The countrys industrial capacity
had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high
unemployment were factors conducive to the growth of the embryonic Nazi party.
Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiahlike figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs
and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly
expanded army, and in munitions factories.
Roosevelt was elected because he promised a New Deal to lift the United
States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by
Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt mustered the spending capacities of the federal
government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-andout Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies,
Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the Depression before the outbreak
of World War II.
