OurWdsllln3ton Letter
BY " PDaIey
l AssoclATIoN sptclA

Washington, Feb. Back of
all the noise of political battle,
leaders of both parties are now
concerned over the ultimate eff
fects of the votes in the World
Court, tax reduction, prohibition
enforcement and farm legisla-
ton. Once the die is cast there
can be no turning back. Hence,
observers here note concern on
the part of members of Congress
over their political fortunes and
Senators whose terms will short
ly expire.
An expression that causes
these legislators sleepless nights
is ''he voted for that measure
and that means an end to him"
if it comes from important
leaders. Once the seed of fear
is planted, the average legislator
begins careful checkup system
in his own district to determine
which way the wind is blowing.
If an ill-wind is noted, his bench
men usually parade an impressive
array of alibis to placate dis
satisfied groups, in the home dis
trict.
There have been a number of
important social gatherings here
this week. The discussions at
these affairs invariably show the
trend of political opinion. Men
| who ordinarily would not meet
owing to political differences, ex-
change comments on current po-
litical developments in private
conversations which mark social
gatherings.
