whatever meat securities are worth dethe administration and congress termine them to be worth because the C Waihlngton dollar can be valued up or down as cirwarrant cumstances But thq ralus which the President and congress place upon the dollar may differ materially from the value which the public places upon the curThe public will view the dolrency lar In terms of Its purchasing power Public In the currency confidence therefore becomes an absolute necessity and once It is shaken If history means anythlug It takes a long &rd pull to get it back So If congresa shows a willingness to repudiate obligations as it has shown already the public sooner or later begins to wonder what the end will be Throughout history wherever and whenever such a condition haa arisen the public seeks to convert this doubtful currency Into material things those of a utilitarian value which it may use Money being Inedible is sought to be for things to eat to wear exchanged to sustain life aud comfort This Is “the what Is meant In expressions flight from the dollars" or “the flight" from any other currency about which the since much so we have beard World war The situation In congress in the last a test for few weeks has provided President Roosevelt’s Up to the political acumen It President has been far mors a test of his skill than otherwise would have been the case becanse for almost two years he has bad a congress so obedient to his command as to merit the description of a rubber stamp legislative body the President Is faced Now however with the necessity for political maneuvers of the highest order and upon the results of his tactics much will deHe can cement the links of the pend Democratic party or he can cause them to disintegrate by the courses he follows Some curiosity has been aroused by the fact that for the first time since he became President Mr Roosevelt omitted in several Instances lately to send administration drafts of bills for conconsideration Ills practice gressional hitherto had been to have the bills drafted In executive departments and that submitted with a recommendation Until they be enacted In that form some of the factions In congress began to feel their oats this plan worked very welL- - A change has come over gome of and they araewiw Inthem however of the legissisting upon preparation lation themselves Another significant development — of sevand this links to circumstances eral months ago —was the presentation by Senator Wagner of New York of a bill to settle labor disputes This bill does not have administration approval Indeed It la quite contrary In some of Its phases to the policies which Mr in his dealhas sponsored Roosevelt It seemq ings with organized labor that Senator Important therefore was regardso for who long Wagner ed

state of New York it Is Interesting even If unimportant that Senator Wagner did not support the President In the latter’s efforts to work relief bill force the $5000000000 Senator Since the senate through a New Wagner has been consistently Dealer many observers are asking with some logic whether the New Deal supporters have begun to crack up an It will be recalled that In asking for extension of the national Industrial act for a two years Roosevelt In outlined merely the fundamentals of the his message He carefully plan he was recommending avoided reference to any draft of such some surprise a bill It occasioned that this was so but closer analysis of the situation should have developed reasons therefor Most of these reasons are traceable directly to the circumstances I mentioned above namely the necessity for tactical skill In the political strength maneuvering available to the President Observers here generally are agreed can turn on full Roosevelt Mr that steam and hold a powerful majority lu But the quesboth house and senate tion Is whether this Is the wiser course In this from s political standpoint has been the expression connection heard several times lately among Democrats who have been regarded as among the leaders that it might not be well to prod stubborn mules too far The best Information I can gather is that while Mr Roosevelt did not offer legislation a
