WHATS GOING ON
IN WASHINGTON
Congress Headed Straight
for Long Extra Session;
Many Weighty Problems. y
BY WILLIAM BRUCkAR u

Washlngton.-1'he wish of a great
number of senators and representa-.
tives to stay in Washington at least
a part of this coming summer is 20;
Ing to be fulflledQ They are headed
straight into an extra session of con.
eress, and unless all signs fail 1t is
going to be long drawn-out affair.
It always has been the case that
goodly number of the national legls-
lators prefer to stay around the Cap.
ital after a futile session. rather than
to go home and see the folks. Con.
stituents have a habit of asking EN-
barrassing questions as to why moth
ing was done about this. that or the
other So, except for a short period
between the retirement OF Mr.. Hoover
and the date which President Elect
Roosevelt fixes for the extra session.,
representatives and senators are like
ly to be here on the job through much
of the summer.
The incoming Chief Executive thus
far has kept his own counsel about the
extra session. but the wiseacres among
the hundreds of volunteer assistants
who have tied themselves TO him. or
have attempted to do so. claim that the
extra session will be called around
April 90 That will give Mr. Roosevelt
roughly seven weeks of the seven
months Honeymoon In the White
House for which he asked during his
campaign. 7-sa
Mr.. Roosevelt was not the only one
who desired to have that honeymoon
period at the beginning of his Admin-
istration. The expressions from. bust.
ness leaders were OF the same tenor.
They thought, and still believe, the ab-
sence of congress from Washington
for a while you'd serve as tonic for
the country by allowing business TO
move along undisturbed during that
time.

Complex FOREIGN Questions.


MIR Roosevelt lately has given much
thought TO the whote category Of for
eIgn questions. too Some of them are
in a situation at present that Indicates
they are growing in complexity. re-
fer to the Japanese-Far Eastern con
dition. particularly, but there are dis
turbng elements in South and Central
America as well.
imagination. that these are closely re
lated to war debts. Any mention OF
war debts CONNECTS up Mt once with In
ternatonal tariff policies, and Mr..
Roosevelt Is proposing some. sort Of an
international new deal with respect to
the high tariff walls erected In so
many countries.
Congress has said IT would have
nothing to do with any proposals for
war debt revision, but Ii Is going 70
have that subject before 1t whether II
likes the idea or not. 1t Is extremely
improbable that there will be any re,
vision. yet II must be recalled that
such men as Senator Rorah (Rep1 OF
Idaho. have said they would not be
averse to scaling down of the war
debts. provided they can enforce lin
itatinn on the other nations also to cut
down on their expenditures for arms
and munitions of war Let II not be
forgotten. the Borah view Is gaining
Then. too. II must be recalled that
Senator Harrison of Mississippi
Democrat and an astntp leader, is pro
noting an idea about world wide agree
ment on tariffs and is seeking to en-
force reduction in arms expenditures
along with 1t.
These are all of uncertain form at
present But the Ideas are not with
out merit In the opinion of leaders ev
erywhere. They must he reckoned
with. and in the extra session. too.
Thus, when one studies the picture
and observes all the detail. It can
hardly be doubted that the extra SEES
sion is In for peck OF trouble. The

Farm Relief and Banking.


Among other things due to face the
extra session are farm relief and
banking legislation. II the senate
takes the house farm parity BILL the
domestic allotment plan under another
name, it faces a certain veto from
President Hoover. The bill over
which Senator Carter Glass tDem.1.
OF Virginia. has worked so long and
ably to revise the national banking
and federal reserve laws. is going no
where in this session.
So 1t Is easy to see what gigantic
forces will be exerted against two
measures which IL appears Mr.. Roose.
Welt favors. Each of these bills has
opposition spreading from coast TO
coast, but 1t remains TO be seen wheths
er that opposition is strong enough to
break the unit of Democratic strength
The character of the fight that Is
to come over the Glass banking bill
has been thoroughly demonstrated by
that which took place In the senate.
recently. 1t is no game at which chill
dren can play. There are tremendous
ly big bankers against 1t. and there
goodly number Of little bankers

to the same sections. but that Is imma.
terial.
This banking legislation links right
into the problems Of domestic debts,

about the use of the Federal Reserve
system as IN aid TO economic restara
ton.
Back of 1t all obviously are the two
camps. one urging imitation of the cur
rency even to the point of abandoning
the gold standard and the other group
preaching sound money and retention
Of the gold standard. This phase OF
the problem that will be left on Mr..
Roosevelt's lap provides an entree IN.
to the picture for all of the varied
patent medicine legislators who have
their own plans for curing everything
from the hives TO an economic break
down.
Into this picture also Is seen the
probable advent Of leaders In the
movement to pay the soldiers honus
Immediately. Many Of them want to
pay In currency that has just come
from the government presses. and with
nothing behind 1t. u.
The domestic debt situation also
gives the self-appointed type Of econo.
mic doctors another opportunity.
There are farm debts and debts of
city home owners over whose heads
mortgages hang. Plenty Of words will
rend the atmosphere about these con
diti0ns
Probably some legislation will come
out of the situation eentering around
debts. Changes In the bankruptcy
laws are now impending, as ! ex
planned in an earlier dispatch. The
consensus is that this legislation is
mnging In the right direction and that
something worthwhile will eyentuate.
That legislation. however. has only
very slight connection with the
general farm problem II may. and
probably will. result in help In the case
Of mortgages of city property, but II
will not deal with mortgages on farm
lands Those mortgages are so great
that distinctive and separate consid-

Loans for Construction Only
 It will not be possible for the city of Ketchikan to secure a loan from the Public Works Administra- tion or the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for the purchase of the local utilities system. There is sim ly no provision in the law whereby loan could be made for such a purpose. Harry c. Mccain, Ketchi- kan attorney who went to Wash ington as representative of that city in this matter, and Delegate Dimond called on responsible of ficials in each of the administrative organizations and advanced every argument they could muster in sup port of the loan but on every occa- sion they were informed that fed eral money could not be advanced for purchase of any existing plant.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov 4- Taking into consideration the re- moteness of Alaska from continental United States, a remoteness that colors every phase of industrial ac tivity, the National Recovery Ad- ministration has approved a plan calculated to confer the benefits of the National Industrial Recovery Act upon the Territory without chancing irreparable damage to labor or industry or both.
 Dimond Consulted
 Public announcement of the plan, which will also probably extend to Hawaii and Puerto Rico, has not been made in Washington but there is slight liklihood that it will not go through as now conceived. The plan has the unqualified approval of Governor Troy and Delegate Di- mond. They believe it has the best features of all the various proposals suggested to take care of the Ter
 
 gate Dimond has been consulted frequently in the evolving of the plan and several of his suggestions have been incorporated in it.
 Natl Codes Unsound in Alaska
 Obviously the national codes could not be applied without altera- ton to Alaska without risking yio- lent disturbances in every walk of life. The minimum wage rates would in the vast majority of cases not provide even bare subsistence for Alaska workmen. On the other hand, other provisions of the codes would bear down heavily upon those classified as employers.
 Under this special plan the vari- ous interested groups in Alaska will have fully opportunity to pre- sent amendments to the national codes.
 Special MIRA Alaska Board
 A recovery board, probably con- posed of three members, will be set up. It will hold hearings which are expected to bring out all pertinent facts. This is one phase which ap- peals particularly to the Delegate, and he believes it will have similar appeal generally throughout the Territory, for the reason that Alas kans can make their wants known directly to a board which will un- derstand local problems. Few could afford the expense involved in mak- ing a trip to Washington Tor a hearing affecting their particular industry, and fortunately the Ma tional Recovery Administration lec- ognizes that fact.
 The board is to be headed by a deputy administrator. He has not yet been selected, but it is definitely known that he will be man now with the NRA in Washington. This point is insisted upon for the reason that the deputy administrator must be well grounded in MIRA procedure. After hearing requests for code amendments, the board will make recommendations to the MIRA in Washington, and the power of final decision will reside there. This, of course, is merely the rough outline of the plan. Details have not been worked out. When they are, full particulars will be sent to Alaska.
 To Build Up
 In the meantime, it may be said authoritatiyely that compliance with the Presidents unemployment agreement on the part of Alaskans will be entirely voluntary matter.
