But there Is another objection to the criticism. Administration officials point out, though not for quotation, that If the United States had taken a large amount of tin from the British government as part payment on the war debt, at the rate of 22 cents a pound, the British government would now have an additional argument for concessions on the remaining debt It would contend that the United States government had "profiteered" on the liritisli government both coming and going. It would point out that at the time of the original Incurrence of the debt tli8 United States charged England huge prices- - those prevailing In the war period and Immediately thereafter. When the time came to accept payments In kind, the British would point out, the American government took payment In commodities at record low prices for those commodities and would say that even now the price of tin had recovered to nearly two and f times what the United States government had allowed it on war payments. Present supporters of the plan insist that any unsettling Influence which It might have on maintenance of the balance of trade would be no greater than that likely to result from the operations of the new British-Butc- h rubber restriction combine and from other foreign cartels monopolizing the supplies of numerous products this country does not produce. They insist that payment of the debts "in kind" In a way would be a protection against such foreign monopolies. one-hal- The Harvard branch of the brala trust Is actually more Important today, due to the powers In the hands of James M. Land Is, than the Columbia branch, which started off back In the campaign of 1932 as pretty nearly the whole show. Incidentally, this Importance of the Harvard branch Is due almost entirely to Dr. Felix Frankfurter. Early In the game the Columbia members became worried about Frankfurter's Influence with the President and many were the schemes to run him on some secluded sidetrack, Thus they persuaded the President to offer Frankfurter the Job of Solici No. 2 man at the Depart ment of Justice, ranking above the as sistant to the attorney general and a whole flock of assistant attorneys- general. They knew that Frankfurter's ambi tion Is eventually to sit upon the Unit ed States Supreme court bench, and they figured that he would regard the as a long step In this direction. Meanwhile, they would have Frankfurter so busy arguing before the Supreme court in behalf of the government on constitutional questions that he would have little time to run down to the White House and horn In on policies they were trying to shape. But Frankfurter was too smart for them. He didn't want to be arguing constitutional questions at a time when constitutionality is of so little significance. He preferred to stay outside and put his oar In whenever a particular question intrigued him. solicitor-generalshi- Mis well-grease- d ut al Small hmt Powerful Cleveland has a beacon light which, although visible to filers 123 miles away, and although a person five miles from It can read a newspaper by Its light, uses an electric light w hich virtually la the same size as the ordinary tungsten lamp.
