The former spoke not a word to his comocpanion, who was tbe only other cupant of the compartment, and It was only when the train was crossing Runcorn bridge that the American said : Excuse me, sir, but your tie is riding up over the back of your collar. Well, what If it Is? was the curt Your coat pocket has been reply. on fire this last five minutes, and I havent bothered you. Montreal Star, National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart Time after time Washington. since President Roosevelt entered the White llouse, observers many Again at Crossroada hve Insisted that he had reached a crossroads and that on those occasions he necessarily had to choose between the right and the left They contended with considerable Justification that he either had to be conservative or radical. But somehow the President arranged to follow both roads at once. At least that conclusion has been reached by those who classify themselves as liberals. Now, observers are saying again that the President has reached the crossroads and must choose between the right and the left With the convening of congress there has come forward the usual number perhaps I should say more than the usual number of proposals for radical or conservative legislation as the case may be. There are dozens, almost hundreds, of bills advocating nostrums and crackpot Ideas which cannot possibly do more than take up time and keep the government printing office busy at the expense of the taxpayers In piintlng the bills themselves. There are In all of this mess as well many pieces of worthwhile legislation as well as the proposals bearing earmarks of drafting under White House guidance. In addition there are close to six dozen presidential appointments upon which the senate must act Some of these names are of individuals of know n radical tendencies. Some others are recognized as equally conservative. As a corollary for this confused state, there are the growing differences of opinion, based on presias to dential policy proposals, whether the government should attempt to provide relief through work as Mr. Roosevelt desires or should turn to a plain, unadulterated dole. There Is the demand from the White House for legislation putting the federal government further Into competition with business by expansion of publicly owned power facilities and the question of liquid ating or continuing to expand such programs as that of loans to home owners and extension of NRA. Summed up, It would appear, at least, that Mr. supei liclally Roosevelt Is definitely at the crossroads. I am told by legislative leaders, however, that the administration program thus far advanced again does not commit Mr. Roosevelt definitely to follow either the radlcul or conservative pathways. They point out that there la an unusual admixture of two schools of economic thought represented in legislation bearing presidential approval and their thought seemed to be that Mr. Roosevelt will avoid being forced Into either camp at this time. It has been most interesting observe the fluctuation of to ture among the More Action various New Than Results? Healers. Trior to the lats election they were very low In spirit. Many of them were saving, In private ut least, that Mr. Roosevelt was getting out of hand as far as they were concerned and was turning certainly toward the conservative school of thought. At the same time among the conservative members of the administration and in congress and to a considerable extent among business leaders, there was a growing feeling that they had witnessed the phenomena of having their own ears pinned back just when they thought they were on the upgrade. Following tills change of trends, along comes the mass of White House legislation, some of which plenses the New Dealers and some of which pleases the conservatives. Each finds fault with that portion of the progiatn that Is reasonably satisfactory to the other. This contrariety of opinion extends Into the ranks of members of the house and senate. Consequently, the question to which the observers are now seeking an answer Is whether Ms Jority Lender Robinson in the sen wheel-horse- s ate and the Democratic In the house are going to he able to keep their tremendous num bers In line. Tims far, there has been no word from the majority leaders either In the house of the senate indicating any doubt on their part that the administration whip will fall to drive recalcitrant members Into the proper alleys. Unbiased observers are taking the position, however, that time alone will fell. And It may lie added with some emphasis that If the wild horses break loose from the hitching post once, the curient session of congress may provide much more action than results. fire. For example, I understand that the soldiers bonus question will be used by the Republicans as a sort of prod with which to disturb the It seems definite majority party. that the house and senate will pass legislation for Immediate payment of tbe bonus. It may not be a program for full payment of the aura that Is not due until 191a, but the pressure Is so strong that some action will be forthcoming. If Mr. Roosevelt sticks to his guns and vetoes any bonus legislation excepting that proposing to care for the destitute ex soldiers, sailors and marines, there Is enough strength In congress to pass the legislation over his veto. The soldiers lobby is strong; of that there Is no doubt. The members will be thinking of their political future, not Mr. Roosevelts, when the question Is put before them. Then Is when the Republican minority could be of distinct help to the administration but, apparently, that Is Just the thing the Republican minority is not going to do. The administration Is now examining various avenues of a possible compromise on the bonus payments and It Is through this course that a hope exists on the part of administration leaders to avoid the showdown mentioned above. Knowing that It cannot count on the Republican minority for any help to carry through Its plans, the administration may make some concessions to the bonus advocates. These most certainly will be made unless a count of noses by the leadership show 8 a little later that the supporters of a full bonus payment can be whipped. Here again the views of radicals and conservatives clash. There will he some radicals supporting the bonus payment In order to force the President Into a position where he must Inflate the currency further. That group thinks Inflation of the currency will boost prices and provide the necessary hypodermic Injection to get us out of the depression. Opposed to these are a considerable number of house and senate members who fear Inflation and Its results like they fear the poison fangs of a rattlesnake. So, when is joined as an the bonus quest i Issue itjseems to me we will see an Interesting exposition of how politics makes strange bedfellows. President Roosevelt Is about to open up the federal treasury for loans to cities to Federal provide funds for Loans to Cities construction of municipal light and power plants. He has announced definitely that he favors tills procedure and, therefore, In effect hns Invited cities to Join the march on Washington for more federal loans. The newest development In the administration program of loaning money here and there seems to have resulted In repercussions of a more Important nature than objections voiced to other types of federal loans. Here In Washington considerable discussion has developed as to the wisdom of this policy and this hns been followed by speculation ns to the ultimate end of a program of this kind. Opinion throughout the country apparently has not ben definitely crystallized yet but from all Indications It appears we nre due to hear much debate on the newest New Deal Idea. Objectors to the program of providing loans to cities for construction of municipal light and power plants Insist that Mr. Roosevelt hns taken the longest step toward state socialism thus far to he made a part of his New Deal. They contend that Mr. Roosevelt hns gone beyond his recovery program and hns embarked upon a plan representing part and parcel of his scheme for politic ow of nil industries Impressed with a public Interest through service of a monopolistic character. Opponents also argue that the President Is placing privately owned Industries tinder a severe handicap by fordng them to compete with what should he pilvnte lndustiy but what actually is tlieir own government. In some quarters niso I hear expressions of a fi ar Unit If any substantial number of cities borrow federal money to build their own light mid power plants, the federal government will have expanded to that extuit its domination over those cities. Through loans to banks, to ngrienltme and to many other lines, federal Influence dally Is being exerted upon the private life of the country until, some observers decline, states, counties and municipalities nre gradually sinking into oblivion Insofar ns their own self government Is concerned.
