NGRESS ended Its session at mid- night Monday—after the clock hands had been moved back three times—the house hilarious with re- n freshment, song and rustic antics, the sen- ate furious because Huey Long of Loulsl- ana had conducted a lone filibuster for sev- en hours and talked to death the third defl- clency appropriation bill. This measure car- ried $03,000,000 tax to pay pensions to the aged, retirement pay Senator Long , railroad workers and money for crippled children. The Kingfish defeated all efforts to silence him and was adamant to pleas that he was cutting off funds for hu- manitarian purposes. He was insisting that the house be forced to vote on the cotton and wheat loan amendments to the bill which the senate had in- serted but which the lower chamber had rejected. A compromise had been reached between the administration and the bloc of cotton state senators by which the cotton raisers were to get government loans of 10 cents a pound, and the wheat farmers were left out. Long would not stand for the elimination of the amendments thus arranged. The Democratic leaders were afrald that if submitted to the house gov- ernment loans not only on wheat and cotton but on other commodities would be voted at a cost of upward of $2 000,000,000. They determined to let the appro- priation bill fall rather than submit to Long's terms, although Robinson stated that Information from the con- troller general's office Indicated there would be no available funds for the social security program unless the de- ficiency measure were passed. , The compromise cotton plan was ae. cepted reluctantly by the AAA, and many of the southern senators were dissatisfied with it. The senators from the wheat states were disgruntled be cause the wheat Joan policy was com- pletely abandoned. OME of the congressional leaders lingered in Washington long enough to hold a conference with President Roosevelt and Comptroller General McCarl on ways of obtaining funds cut off by fallure of the third deficiency bill. They came to the conclusion that the administrative agencies pro- vided for in the soclal security act, as well as the other agencies sched uled to receive appropriations in the deficiency bill, could be set up with money either from the work relief or other unexpended funds. However, Mr. McCarl advised, and the congressmen agreed, that grants in ald to states for old age assistance, the blind and dependent children, can- not be pald out of the work relief fund, because such activities would not create employment. This restriction, it was concluded, would not apply to grants to states for the setting up of administrations for unemployment insurance and other activities contemplated by the social security bill, for this would provide Jobs. “It Is apparent that the Long fl baster will work a great hardship, but a study is being made with a view to proceeding wherever it Is possible with a preparation for the administration of the social security, the railroad re. trement law and other measures pro- vided for In the deficiency bill,” sald Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Demo cratic leader. NOTWITHSTANDING the general 4 protest by newspapers against the financing of paper mill construction by the Reconstruction Finance cor poration,on the ground that government con- trol of print paper supply threatens the freedom of the press, Chalrman Jesse Jones of the RFC intimated that this practice may be extended and at the same time sald this question was for % Songrens to decide, py e produced figures showing that 600,000 Jesse Jones tons of paper pulp is Imported an- nually, “Every governmental loan to In. dustry competes with private capital, and it is for congress to determine how long It wishes such loans made” Jones sald, In a formal statement on RFC cash supplied to the Crossett Lumber company of Alabama to make paper. Jones recalled that the house of representatives on January 29 rejected an amendment to the RFC extension bill which would have eliminated loans to paper mills, He Inferred that this action gave the RFC a free hand to engage in financing of paper mills, The application of the Crossett com. pany is the only one received by the RFC thus far, Jones sald, and added that the security behind the loan wus worth $12000000, whereas the loan fiself was for only 83850000, The company's previous earning record, In- cluding the last few years, assures its payment, he argued, ECONSTRUCTION Finance cor poration announced that, In order to encourage the construction of new homes and to assist the housing ad- ministration, it will buy and sell in. sured mortgages. Chairman Jones sald a $10,000,000 revolving fund had been made avallable to the RFC mort- gage company for this purpose. The mortgage company also was author Ized to lend money to companies formed for the purpose of helping property owners pay taxes, Jones also sald that debt burdened school and reclamation districts have become eligible for loans. Advances to them will be on much the same prin- ciple as loans to ald dralnage and levee districts In refinancing, he sald, Both will be expected to compromise thelr debts with bondholders and then the corporation will refinance them on a lower level RIENDLY diplomatic relations be- tween the United States and Russia, established in November 1933, will not longer be maintained unless the Soviet government mends Its ways and keeps its sol emn pledges to prevent Communist organiza- tions on Its soll or under its control from plotting to overthrow the government of the United States. This was the warning banded to N. N. Krestinsky, assistant foreign affairs com- Ambassador missar of the U, 8. 8 Bullitt R. by Ambassador Wil lam C. Bullitt In Moscow, whose note was written by direction of the De partment of State in Washington. The language of the note was not quite so blunt as the above, but it did not mince words and its implications were not to be doubted. It sald the Urited States “anticipates the most serious consequences If the govern ment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Is unwilling, or unable, to take appropriate measures to prevent further acts In disregard of the sol emn pledge given by it to the govern. ment of the United States” Within two days the SBovier govern. ment replied, through Krestinsky, with a coldly worded note flatly “rejecting” the American protest. It was based on thé old and more than dubious con- tention that the Moscow government Is not and cannot be held responsible In any way for the doings of the Com munist Internationale, and continued: “Thus the statement about a viola tion by the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of its obligations contalned (n {he note of November 16, 1033, does not follow from the obligations assumed mutually by both parties, In view of which I cannot accept your protest and am compelled to reject it” Krestinsky concluded by declaring the Soviet government Is striving for “further development of friendly co- operation” between the Soviet union and the United States, REMIER MUSSOLINI, in an Inter view granted to the correspondent of the London Dally Mall, declared flatly: “It should be realized without the possibility of misunderstanding that whoever applies sanctions (penalties for treaty violations) against Italy will be met by the armed hostility of our country.” The duce added that If the League of Nations voted sanctions against Italy, his country would at once leave tie league. . This was enough for France, which has been sitting on the fence, trying to retain the friendship of both Italy and Great Britain, Premier Laval called the cabinet together and was empowered by it. to oppose the appli ention of sanctions by the League of Nations against Italy. He expounded to the ministers his plan to persuade the council of the league to look upon Italy's projected attack on Ethiopia as a “colonial expedition” rather than a war. This would permit the lea to slide out of a situation that gravely threatens its prestige. It was under stood that Laval told the eabinet Eng- land was less determined to act dras tically, having realized the danger In Mussolini's stand that sanctions would mean war. He also sald that the duce’s agreement to present the case at Geneva Indicated his desire to avold a quarrel with the great powers or © break with the league, So, at this writing, it appears poor Ethiopia is left to her own resources in opposing Mussolini's rapacity., His intentions were clearly stated In the interview quoted, In reply to a direct question whether there Is the slightest of his changing bis attitude, : re. plied in the negative, saying “none at all—~unless Ethiopia gives In.” Opening up of the vast interior, he sald would benefit “all civilized states” Colonization Ethiopia by 1 would fulfill all colonial aspirations of Italy, OHN N.

Snell serted Its alm was not soclalism, but regulated Individualism, Champloning a philosophy of change, the President sald that “rules are not necessarily sacred—principles are, The methods of the old order are not, as some would have you belleve, above the challenge of youth, “To the American youth of ill parties I submit a message of confidence unite and challenge.” Under the auspices of the Repub lican national committee, Representa. tive Bertrand H. Snell of New York spoke over the radio In direct reply to the President's appeal to youth— for both parties are making strenuous endeavors to capture the allegiance of the young men and women. Mr. Snell argued that a change In the Constitu. tion abolishing rights of Individual eit. izens would place "those who possess the power, the wealth and the cun- ning” in control of the government. “Surely the youth of America” he sald, “are not prepared to endorse any administration which 1s seeking to bring about such a condition.” Jonx G. WINANT, former governot of New Hampshire and a Repub lican, has been appointed chairman of the social security board, the body that will direct the part of the New Deal of which the President is proud. est and which he de ciares is oneof the out. standing social reforms in the history of the government, Mr. Wi pant’s two associates on the board are to be Arthur J.

The new orders, Issued to the heads of all Ln National Press Building = —— Washington.—Politics being arable from governmental administra. " . tion under our sys. Build Campaign tem, it becomes Battle Lines pertinent at this time to examine what has happened In the late session of congress, In a nation where a two- party political structure obtains, poll- tics cannot be segregated from the ad- ministration in the larger sense, It is not with a eritical attitude, therefore, that the magnifying glass is held over the doings of President Roosevelt, his cabinet and brain trust advisers and the congress that has lately adjourned, 1 belleve it will be agreed that poll tics has predominated In the manage. ment of our national affairs during the last eight months especially. The fervor and appeal that was held for recovery by all of us during the earlier days of the Roosevelt administration seems to have been largely dissipated. That is not to say that no one wants to see recovery accomplished, It is to say, however, that this fervor and this ap- peal has been somewhat subordinated. Thus, it can be summarized in a brief sentence: The administration, looking to the elections of 1080, has been en- gaged In bullding campaign battle lines and forging campalgn ammunition, The 1034 congressional elections presented to the country an issue based on the performances and the future program President Roosevelt. It was accorded a prop. sition where cith zens were voting either to give the New Deal a future mandate and the Presi dent authority as thought best or to vote a mandate that would eall a halt on those same per- formances and policies, The country supported Mr. Hoosevell, some of his advisers since have told me, In a man- ner even more substantial than he had anticipated. He emerged from campaign with a larger majority In the than he before, In addition he was sccorded much more than a necessary two-thirds of the senate. The roseate, Though the congress that has just ended its session gave the President many anxious hours, | think that on the whole It can be regarded as having provided him with a record of rather ardoous and faithful response to his wishes, He did not obtain quite all that he wanted nor did he obtain that portion of his program exactly in the form he desired lut, again, politics in congress is simost a matter of gen eral compromise anyway so that the President ean be sald to have come out very well. He can proceed now of to proceed house picture jooked gross which next January and which, In accordance with nearly all precedents, will adlourn ahead of the national political conventions next June, convenes - TT * Politles being the game that It is one must look inte the future to dis cover the ultimate Looking to goal. So, looking Into the Future he future, one dis cerns several objects or objectives of decided, as well as Im. portant, Interest to the individual voters, In the first place, the consensus sure ly Is that Mr. Roosevelt has bulit a legislative and administrative stroo- ture In our government that presents a concrete and unqualified issue to the American people, namely, to proceed along New Deal lines and make the necessary changes in the Constitution to permit execution of those policies or to throw the whole thing over board. There can be no equivoeation. As the structure stands at this time and as it will stand until the next ses sion of congress Is under way, many New Deal propositions are of doubtful constitutionality. If they are so held by the Supreme court of the United States then Mr. Roosevelt Is belleved certain to turn to the country and request His latest and perhaps his most defl- nite move in this direction was In con- nection with the so-called Guffey coal bill. It will be recalled that, in plae- ing that plece of legislation on the “must” list of measures to be acted on | before congress adjourned, Mr. Roose | velit advised house leaders that he - wanted it passed and he did not care particularly whether some members of | congress had “reasonable doubts” mbout its constitutionality, In effect, therefore, the President commanded goal, as federal housing commissioner, carrying out his long expressed desire { ed. Of that there Is no doubt. If the ' law Is held unconstitutional, It merely . means that its provisions form another be succeeded by Stewart McDonald. In his letter of resignation Mr, Moffett § the President has remalped silent, neither denying nor confirming the undercurrent of information that I have reported here, one eannot fall to reach the conclusion that if many of the New Deal measures are held invalid, the President and his New Denl supporters, of necessity, must go to the country In the next election seeking constitutional modification to permit the use of policies now inimical issue which the voters will be called upon to decide, - * \ Since we have stances from the As to the Opposition examined the efreum- New Deal side, let us likewise see what the tepublicans and oth- er oppositionists are doing. Lately, I have talked with some of the recognized Republican wheel horses, Whether they speak the sentiment of the masses of Republican voters or whether they voiced only thelr own views Is not important here, Political straws show which way the political winds are 80 when these veterans of many political battles say that they welcome by New Dealers of an Issue, they evidently see in the situation worthwhile opportuni. tiles, When they say that they are willing to go to the country in defense of the Constity it stands and the resents, they 3 aent Much do blowing. the creation the tlon as traditions it rep on firm ground. evi- ly feel they ar water ean go over the dam sentiment But lone in thus way can be changed the Republicans very little In the of building up their case. While they appear to be enthusiastic about their chances against Mr. Roosevelt in 1036 a nucleus of an organization, It may be their strategy not to start thelr cannonading too early. Indeed, I have heard the thou expressed that It would be unwise to use ammu- nition too far In advance. there have been only a direct attacks on what certainly must be the Issue of 1806, the question of revision or retention of our Constito- tion. It is to be noted If this connec tion that those Republicans who have let go with a few shots have been of the ultraconservative type. I think it is generally agreed that the Republi. can set-up next year will be managed not by the old uitracenservatives but by those who have pulled away to some extent and who are to admit that times have changed condi. tions and a new model, perhaps not streamlined, Is necessary, * * - - obit £hl At any rate, scatiered few fiir wing One argument advanced why Re. publican leadership bas not been more active is that if a G.O.P.Bides start is made too ear- Its Time Iv. the Roosevelt ad- ministration will have an opportunity to answer all of the criticism.

I. for one, am content to let them pro- ceed with thelr socialistic regimenta- tion because I know that every time a calf Is given too much rope, it chokes itself to death™ Then there Is another factor which I understand Is responsible for the delay in Republican attacks A good many Republicans have a hope, at least, that a campaign based on a plea for maintenance of our Constitution and the traditions and modes of living which it represents will draw to the Republican candidate a certain segment of Democrats who are unsympathetic with the New Deal There has been plenty of evidence in the session of congress just adjourned that at heart numerous Democrats lean to the con- | servative as distinguished from the New Deal method of government.
