• Communists were responsible for some of these policies and were
using Roosevelt to achieve their aims.

that:
• Elderly people were suffering, having to resort to search through
“bins for bits of leftover food”.
• The elderly should get $200 per month to boost consumer
spending.

• Empty land and shut-down factories should be opened for the
