Proposals to Aid Party in Power Sure to Appear; Effort Will Be Made to Make Money Bills a Political Focus; Trade Treaties Expected to Draw Fire. Is Great 1 Day For-- WHO'S r national end term of an eight-yea- r administration. That broad outline will include the annual appropriations for running the government, the promotion of several legislative proposals designed to aid the political party in power when it3 presidential nominee gets out on the hustings, and much talk by representatives and senators. Congress, and a Washington dateline, make line springboards, and the politicians who are "in" make full use of the opportunity. Since the last session of congress in the Roosevelt administration is upon us, it seems that a prediction on several phases is indicated. 1. The coming session is going to be longer than some of the politicians would like. Contrary to the average of such sessions, the national legislators are likely to be here until almost the middle of June. The length of the sitting probably will be determined by the dates of the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and there is every reason to believe these will be ' later than usual. 2. Appropriation bills will occupy great deal of the time in the early weeks of the session, as usual. But contrary to what hat been the tituation respecting the money hills, there is going to he a determined effort to make them the center of an issue, a political focus. Tangled up with the appropriation bills this year will be a delicate Question involving the national debt because President Roosevelt is going to put up to congress the question of increasing the present national debt limit from 45 billions to 50 SOME FORECASTS Next session of congress will be longer than politicians would like. Republicans will seek a big domestic Issue. Roosevelt will ask 50 billion debt limit Garner will be on watch for New Deal fumbles. Senator Wheeler may join contest for delegates. billions. And It must not be overlooked that the question of national revenue taxation Is bound to figure In this controversy because the national treasury has been in the red more spending than receipts in the seven years of Mr. Roosevelt's administration and two years of Mr. Hoover's administration. Proposal to Create Second Budget Sure to Draw Fire 3. National defense expansion of the army and the navy obviously will get attention and here, again, the question of taxation appears. Mr. Roosevelt has suggested to some of the senate and house leaders that there should be a separate listing of these expenditures and a separate tax to pay for them. That is to say, the President Is thinking, at least, of creating a second, and distinct, budget covering such outlays of money Just as he has resorted, heretofore, to the use of separate budget listings for "regular" and "emergency" expenditures. 4. Another controversial proposition will be the President's proposal to extend the life of the reciprocal trade treaty program. If one expects fire from the trick budget plan, there is likely to be found a land, filled with gasses of the latest poison, hand grenades and machine gun strafing, between those who favor and those who oppose extension of the trade treaties. 5. In addition to the trade treaty program and tied to it in a fashion that makes a skein of tangled yarn appear simple of solution, is the widespread demand that congress revise the general agricultural program. Many farmers and farm organizations, as well as numerous politicians, are chasing Secretary Wallace and bureau farmers and farmerettes, In full cry. They are demanding changes and Mr. Wallace is resisting. 's Schism Within Democratic Party Due for Finish Fight Lastly, there is the politics of the picture. This new session will be somewhat different than the ordinary run of "last" sessions because of the schism within the Democratic, or majority, party. Real Democrats are determined to get eontrol of the party bark in their hands; New Dealers, who have been running the show with Increasing power to themselves until lately, are (neea with what many observers be- 8. f V Picture) F iflParade; ' - ir-- A I Still Guides French Monetary Policy LOU GEHRIG is term Grayhound.

And when I say "presidential candidacies," I speak broadly of all of them, whether the aspirants be in, or out of, congress. It is to be remembered that the current session will result as much In shaping of policies to be fought out In the campaign of 1940 as in determining which of the men shall be selected by the respective party convention.

He became special adviser to President Roosevelt on foreign trade; assistant administrator of the AAA; vice president of the Export-Impobank of, Washington; assistant secretary of the treasury. He withdrew from the office last February, dissenting from what he considered the treasury department's policy of shaping money procedure to foreign policy. Like the Hull Houe melio-rlst- s, it would seem that the 'economist innovators and renovators have not yet found the golden key. A comparison of notes by father and son as to what's wrong with West Madison street, Europe and points, and what to do about it, would, I am sure, be interesting. Mr. Taylor was graduated from Yale in 1916, served in the World war, and was engaged in the banking and brokerage business in Chicago before going to Washington in If you're planning a trip to the Rose Bowl game, it will pay you to fly.
