radicals whom lie he something charges with having bored into positions of responsibility in so doing the new york house member has stirred up a veritable avalanche of reviews surveys and explorations ot of what is going on of a socialistic nature in the government sir mr fish charged on the floor of the house that some of the new dealers were making cash contributions to the reds arid and proceeded to name them the house speech by sir air fish in a general way called attention to the various movements going on that can properly be described as radical in every respect ills attack directed the attention of observers here to some phases of administration poll policies cles that thus far have excited little comment for many months of course the activities of the agricultural adjustment administration have been subjected to the criticism that they constitute regimentation of the farmers that is a general program that holds down good farmers to the level of the haphazard type in the agricultural industry likewise there have been attacks on the methods employed by the reconstruction finance corporation which dominates the affairs of some four thousand banks as a result of loans to them and is gradually expanding its sphere of inal influence ile nce among other industries to which loans have been made the senate committee on munitions headed by senator nye of north dakota appears to be headed for a recommendation that all munitions and ship yards be government contro controlled llod it if not government owned and only a few days ago the congress enacted enache d a law extending for two years the operations ot of the reconstruction corporation so that it may continue the go eminent influence it has wielded heretofore on top of these ajr it roosevelt has asked the cong congress ress to appropriate almost for his use in the alie general recovery program and has virtually demanded that this fund be made available to him without strings attached in other words the president desires to expend tills money as lie he sees lit fit whether it meets with nith congressional approval or not nol we hear also much discussion of administration policies and leg legislative gIsla tive proposals providing penalties of a serious character as punishment for those who dare to go contrary to the general recovery laws as advanced by tire the president these penalties flues for the most part are being described in some quarters as a form of hitler terrorism the administration stands on the ground that it must have complete dominance it if its schemes are to be successful but the fact remains that it Is prepared by virtue of the punishment available for its use to take away vast sums of money from the industry or individual which objects to government m ent methods m there Is arising more and more criticism of the extreme punishment employed in the new deal legislation Islat lon and unless I 1 miss my guess badly tills this feature of the new deal will flare back upon its sponsors in a manner most unwelcome to the brain tr usters in connection with the presidents plan to have congress provide him with tile new fund to use in arguments his bis discretion disca mon opposition has arisen with some new arguments while the president constantly is repeating ills his assertion that the administrative branches of the government go eminent can accomplish com more with a free hand than by having tile the money earmarked ear marked by congress for specific usi list critics critic s are charging that tile the presidents proposal means putting patting the government further into business for example the senate appropriations commatee com mUtee uncovered information the other day while considering si the bill that indicated the existence of
