Under the Roose velt administration only eight na tional banks have failed to con tinue operations with the deposi tors losing practically no money. The republicans are opposed to this act." Debt Increased Little. The speaker asserted that the national debt had actually in creased but 1 1-2 million dollars under Roosevelt, that the social security act would assure the peo ple of America financial support upon reaching old age, that the national wealth has increased by 30 millions, and that the foreign trade has increased from 27 per cent of normal to 56 percent of normal.
