If, on the other hand, there should be a sharp loss of Iiemorratt In the house, I am told that Mr, Roosevelt would be likely to consider that as a mandate to slow up somewhat on the program upon which lie lias embarked. As I reported to you several weeks ago, Mr. Roosevelt has now rounded out the picture of recovery ami reform as he conceives It to be necessary, or rather as lie and his advisers think the course should be. At that time, I predicted be would find It opportune Just before congress quit for the session to toss bis Ideas Into the hopper for mastication during the summer months. It can now be suld that he has elected to go Into battle with the opposition without quarter, for his message made It clear he felt the critics had offered nothing as an alternative. He declared they were unable to present any plans for human happiness and that they proposed to go hack to the old order' which hml broken down completely In the past. The President asserted that he proposed to make the "security of the citizen and Ills family" the first And consideration of government to accomplish that, he explained. It was necessary to toss aside many of the traditions and practices to which we long have adhered. "People," he said, want decent homes to live In; they want to locate them where they can engnge In productive work ; and they want some safeguard against misfortunes which cannot be wholly eliminated In this world of ours." Mr. Roosevelt's message was decidedly general In tone. He avoided But the general siieclflcations. thoughts were certainly clear to all and sundry, and It Is upon these general thoughts that the Issues are to be drawn. Indeed, they have already been drawn.

They professed to see a clever move by the Chief Executive to satisfy many citizens as to his Intention to guarantee work and food throughout the future. I am In a position to say, however, that there was no connection between the unsettled labor situation and the time at which the message was delivered to congress. It was ready at that time and was sent along In regular course. If it has had, or Is to have, any effect on the threats of strikes and the leaders In those movements, It will be wholly a coincidence. The strikes have been bred of different causes than the things about which Mr. Roosevelt talked In his message. He is proposing such things as insurance, additional government money for loans to persons who want to buy homes, the transfer of those living In barren spots (Insofar as Jobs are concerned) to sections and communities where work Is obtainable, and a general paternalism on tbe part of the national government. In other words, Mr. Roosevelt's deplans contemplate a velopment and have no reference to NRA schemes, Its codes or what have you.

That Is to say. If good Is to comp, there must be reasonable Interpretation of the provision of those laws, according to the general view of those directly affected. The stock exchange control law underwent a major operation In congress from the manner In which the professors of the brain trust bad drawn It, originally. Until those objectionable features were eliminated, there was a battle royal In honse and senate. Since the features omitted were deemed too radical by congress. It Is to be assumed there was merit In the claims of brokers and Investors In stocks that the bill would have dammed up money that otherwise could have been put to work and used by commerce and Industry which necessarily has to operate to a great extent on borrowed funds, But I hear many expressions around here that there is still a serious problem ahead In the matter of keeping the channels open for Investment funds.

A broad Jump was attempted In the house to place several hundred extra workers In the general accounting office for the purpose of auditing the expenditures of the several dozen Roosevelt agencies that are denominated by their critics as the "alphabetical soup. Up to this time, J. It. McCarl, the comptroller general of the United States, has had little chance to find out what the alphabetical agencies have been doing with the vast sums appropriated them by the President from the various huge appropriations. He has to, and does, pass on the expenditures of the regularly established government agencies, but none of the new ones were put under his watchful eye. Mr. Roosevelt ordered the audit. To do the Job, however, required additional help for Mr. McCarl, and about $1,000,000 was Included in a bill The deficiency appropriation saw a fine chance, and they never overlook any chance. So they slipped a line Into the appropriation bill that said the extra workers were to be chosen without regard for the civil service. What huge piece of pie, In fact, many pieces of pie! But something happened to the plan. Somewhere the language got changed to read that the comptroller general may appoint the extra workers without regard for the civil service Instead of the command that he shall appoint. And, In this case, the change Is of vast Importance to maintenance of the civil service as a government method of employment. ents. well-lai- Q by Western Newspaper Union. as a means of Identification la proposed by Irof.
