Wendell Willkie in 1940, talking about his support for left wing economic policies. I guess he's trying to reassure voters that he won't roll back popular reforms.

Willkie campaign film, "The Truth About Taxes," more on the right wing message here. Likening the New Deal to a fatal experiment. Attacking Keynesianism, civil servants, comparing bureaucracy to the Nazis and anti-tax stuff that would really come into vogue by the 80's.
fascinating stuff. when were these pre-TV campaign films screened?
