ROOSEVELT'S BRAINS TRUST PLANNING COUP?

Extraordinary Allegations by Famous American Educationist

UNEASINESS IN

WASHINGTON

SOCIAL REVOLUTION "PLOT" STORY

USING ROOSEVELT AS A KERENSKY

Washington, Mar. 25.

CONSIDERABLE UNEASINESS has been created in political circles by startling allegations of a deep-laid conspiracy by prominent persons closely connected with President Roosevelt and having an important influence on Presidential policies to bring about a socialist revolu- tion in the United States.

The "suspects" are the members of the so-called Brains Trust and the sensation was provided by Pro- fessor W. A. Wirt, who made the announcement that he had been personally informed by members of the Braing Trust that they are aiming at the overthrow of the existing social order, based on Capitalism.
