In addition to the feorganization bill, generally regarded as the major rebuff that President Roosevelt has received from congress, there have been the Supreme court enlargement, the St. Lawrence seaway, and the World court. It is interesting that Roosevelt's three predecessors, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, all favored three of these four proposals all except that regarding the Supreme court. Gradually, sentiment for the United States joining the World court has become feebler and feebler as he League of Nations has declined In prestige. The St. Lawrence seaway has lost rather than gained in sentiment for reasons having nothing to do with politics. When the seaway was first proposed, the most enthusiastic advocates were from the Middle and Korthwestern states. They wanted 4o make it possible for ocean steamships to get into the Great Lakes, their object being to cut the freight Tate on wheat from St. Paul and Minneapolis and other centers in the wheat country, to Liverpool, as for generations the world price of wheat has been the price at Liverpool, less the freight rate from the point of origin to Liverpool. But 6ince the proposal was first advocated the United States has been almost a total loss so far as wheat exports are concerned. For several years now we have exported little or no wheat, sometimes actually importing a little more hard wheat from Canada than we exported. Other farm exports have declined as well, and there has never been any necessity for cutting the freight rate on the one line of exports that has really held firm, manufactured goods such as machinery, automobiles, etc. The real difficulty in the path of increased exports here has to do with quotas rather than costs, hence has to be left to negotiations rather than to maneuvering to cut the freight cost. Opposition Continues Which explains why Secretary of State Cordell Hull's reciprocal trade treaty policy has made such a hit with automobile and other manufacturers who believe they can compete with the whole world if artificial limitations and barriers are removed. President Roosevelt's interest in the St. Lawrence seaway has always ibeen because of the electric power .possibilities rather than the idea of bringing ocean steamships to the door of the Middle West. But the political motive power back of this project has always been the cheapening of the freight rate on grain to Liverpool, the real value of which ties now practically disappeared. Meanwhile the economic objections to the St. Lawrence project have remained unchanged. There may not be much grain moving overseas, but the shipping interests of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, Norfolk, Savannah, and even Jacksonville and New Orleans, have not relaxed in their opposition to it. Record Rather Good Saving his face on the tax on undistributed corporation earnings was an achievement for President Roosevelt which will probably never be accurately measured. But the fact is that there were plenty of votes in both houses of congress, before the conference committee reached its compromise, to approve total repeal of this tax. It is per fectly true that the bill will provide the end of this tax after 1939, but the retention of any part or shadow of it is actually flying in the face of the will of a considerable majority of congress. On the whole, it makes the record of the President, so far as his relations with congress are concerned, rather a good one much better than the actual feeling on Capitol Hill justifies, and much better than the country has come to think in the last month, especially since the house rejected the reorganization bill. But while there was an unusual amount of publicity for this White House rebuff on the reorganization bill, actually the President had failed to get something which every President for a good many years has wanted, and more than a few tried to get, with little or no suc- cess. Everyone familiar with Washington knows that government bureau chiefs gradually acquire power with the house and senate. It is natural and human, however bad it may be from time to time in its results. But there is not only patronage to be considered the placing of friends of senators and representatives in good jobs on the federal pay roll, and the looking out for them after they are placed, to be sure they get promotions and pay boosts when it is legally possible. That would be enough to establish personal bonds between the bureau chiefs and the national legislators. But there is also a constant line of communications between the offices on Capitol Hill and the various B , l """"" " No, Science Admits, Bui Life Expectancy Can Be Raised A!

Figures from the United States public health service reveal that a good way to live longer is to be born in North or South Dakota, Kansas or Oklahoma and to stay there.

As a second choice the seeker after a long life might pick Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama or Mississippi. No Goal. The term "span of life" is confusing. Science points out that it has not changed through the centuries. Probably as many persons lived to be 90 in ancient Rome as in New York city today.

Argentine butter beat President Roosevelt on the reorganization bill, according to the latest story going around the Capitol corridors. Of course the majority by which the bill was defeated was only eight, so a change of five members would have reversed the result. Virginia could have done it. Tammany could have done it. Any one of a lot of little groups could have done it. And so could the five Progressives from Wisconsin who surprised Sen. Robert M. La Follette and everybody else when they voted against the President on this crucial test. The story goes that a group of five Wisconsin dairymen were in Washington with their families to see the cherry blossoms. At the hotel where they were stopping, one of the party spoke up at breakfast about the butter. "Where do you suppose they get it?" he demanded. "It's not like any butter I know." "I don't know," said a second, "but I do know that I don't think it is as good as our butter at home." "I think it's terrible," said one of the wives, "and I'm going to tell the waiter about it. They ought to buy our good Wisconsin butter. We are spending plenty down here." "That's reciprocity for you," laughed her husband. Which word was recalled by all of them later in the day. So they sent for the head waiter. He sent for the manager. Finally it came out. It was Argentine butter. The party had intended to leave for home that afternoon, but tins news about butter changed their minds. With one accord they agreed to turn their little vacation into a lobbying expedition. Big Butter Men Busy A couple of hours later all five of the men were in the house office building, seeking out the congress- men from Wisconsin. "Why is it," they demanded, "that the best hotels in this town use Ar- gentine butter? We thought there was a tariff on butter high enough to keep foreign competition out. We had trouble with Danish butter years ago, but we thought we had fixed that with a tariff so high it couldn't climb over. Now what?" One after another the congressmen patiently explained that the tariff had been high, but that Secretary of State Cordell Hull, in negotiating his reciprocal trade treaties, had marked down the rates on butter, and, under the most favored nation clause, if he marked it down in one treaty, this reduction applied to every other nation unless it could be demonstrated that some nation was discriminating in its tariffs against the United tales. "The theory is," explained one of the congressmen, "that we have to buy something from them, if we are going to sell other goods to them. It helps trade. It helps break down economic barriers. It maices for peace." "Make it something else than butter," retorted the dairymen, with one accord. They must have been threatening, but anyway the five Wisconsin Progressives voted against the President on the reorganization bill. Bel! per I By JOSEPH W. LaBINE Since the world began man has sought to cheat death. Some A have looked for the Fountain of Youth; others, more scientific, admit earthly immortality is impossible but cling to the chance that man's visit here below may be lengthened. Foremost pioneers in this work are America's insurance celecompanies who currently The week. brate Life Insurance combined mass of statistics gathered by these firms during the past century has gnen America an amazingly accu i rate picture of how long the av- erage man can expect to live, and what he can do to live longer. These figures, linked with re- ports of sensational medical developments, today give Jonn Public good reason to believe he will live longer than his He may of the day when even dream science can give him new mechanism to replace his decaying vital organs. But artificial hearts are flimsy and intangible. A more startling fact is that science has given the United States For example, when Congressman Blank of Kansas wants to know how much money has been paid out in wheat benefits to the counties in his congressional district, he doesn't ask the secretary of agriculture for the information. It would take too long. His secretary calls up the particular office down at what used to be Triple A which would have the exact figures on tap, gets the information, and fires it back at his inquiring constituent, writes it in the proposed radio talk, or does whatever the inquirer had in mind How does Blank's secretary know which office to call? His secretary, if he or she is half as good as the average congressional secretary, knows a lot more than that: the name of the clerks who do the work, the ones who know their stuff and those who are just dumb, and a lot of other pieces of data which would be enormously valuable if there really were a merit system in the government. But the point is that this builds up a friendly feeling between the units of the government, many of them so insignificant that they are almost unknown, and the men who do the voting of appropriations to maintain them. When a representative, no matter whether he is a Democrat in good standing at the White House or a Republican the President loathes, wants something from a government bureau he is pretty apt to get it. And quickly. And when a senator asks for any little favor there is just no length to which the downtown folk will not go. So it naturally follows that when these bureaucrats are terribly worried about something like a shift of their functions to some other departmentthey get a sympathetic hearing on Capitol Hill.
