Clans are under way to place many of the statues In the long corridor on the ground floor that runs the entire length of the Capitol building. Instead of being crowded together In single chamber, these statues henceforth will be widely distributed. This action has also revived talk of providing a national pantheon, a building where there would be ample room for the proper display of every statue, such as was provided for by a bill which was Introduced into congress in recent years by Representative George II. Tinkham of Massachusetts, but which was referred to a committee and spems to have become lost In the legislative shufile. Statuary hall is the original chamber of the national house of representatives. In 1804 Representative Merrill of Vermont Introduced a resolution to have the old house chamber set aside for this purpose. Each state was authorized to place there two statues of men and women who had been illustrious for their historic renown and had rendered distinguished civil or &'St Mv .. a .. . , military service to the country.

There are going to be many, many mistakes. These always occur. It canBut the President not be avoided. Is going to have to shoulder the blame for all of It What I have been trying to present is a picture of a situation in which the President Is the pivotal point. Let us pursue one or two of the possibilities. The congress at the request of the President voted some $500,000,000 in federal money as outright gifts to the states for relief. When the President had the relief representatives of the states here recently he told them that the federal government would not countenance the building of a lot of useless projects under the guise of relief. Mr. Roosevelt was emphatic in his But the question one declaration. heard around here was how many of the state office holders and politicians will see that such a policy is enforced?"

So It probably Is Just as well that there will not be any meeting of congress again until January, 1931.

It has helped the unemployment situation among the writers, anyw ay, for where the government has hired men, their places have been filled from among others whose salary checks have been small or have been missing altogether as a result of slack business for the newspapers. Administration leaders Justify the policy on the ground that correspondent cannot be familiar with every phase of government and particularly now that we have so many new laws and new activities resulting from the new deal The public Is entitled to have the facts, the s leaders explain, and the use of newspaper men In publicity Jobs In the government, therefore, constitute a service to the public. This attitude, of course, has a basis in fact and there is merit in the argument But there Is another side to the proposition. It has been the record of other administrations that employed an array of writing talent that a considerable amount of propaganda plain, unadulterated somehow managed to get Into official statements and Information released through these channels. It Is the average writer's function to report the news. lie or she cannot openly question the truth or the accuracy of an official statement Consequently, if the statement be of the propaganda sort, there Is little the writer can do about it The decision has to be left to the editor of ths paper.
