Social Changes Before Congress

America undergoing fundamental
change. Between these groups Presi-
dent Roosevelt throws his weight: first
on one side, then on the other. OF the
radical one. Last week they inspired
newspaper stories to the effect that
they had been seized by "restlessness
and despair" and that unless President
Roosevelt would back them up they
would make q demonstration IN the
form Of a group resignation which
might reach total Of rs or 100 Their
complaint is that while they believe
the President to be In sympathy with
their fundamental program, they felt
that Just at this moment their program
Is being scuttled at several vital points
by conservatives" within the Presidents s
official family.
That this struggle should take place
In America at time when the whole
world is in ferment is natural
enough. What Is undesirable is that
1t should take place without the coun-
try being enlightened upon it.; indeed,
without Congress enlightened upon it.
For Qualification, for opportunity to the
country to pass upon the proposed d
change and to go intelligently and will
ingly In one direction or the other Is
that the issue should be set up in such
"a form as to be seen clearly as what it
Is, struggle to hold to the form of
government and the social structure
which America has had for 157 years.

or, on the other hand, to make Q de-
parture toward form not yet speci-
fed but having more characteristics
OF the Russian system than Of any
other.
Outlines Stin Hazy.
The contrasting ideals should be set
up as simply and as intelligently to
the American mind as, for example. the
two platforms of the old party. The
old American system is, Of course, ia
miliar enough, but almost no one knows
the form Of social structure toward
which We are being carried. The new
concept Is nowhere set down es q whole
and in orderly terms. An approxima-
ton OF 1t can be found in the writings
put out by Dr. Tugwell while he was
professor at Columbia. But those
writings have been read by few except
the intelligentsia who are already SYM
pathetic to Prof. Tugwell's objectives
To the uninitiated even Prof. Tugwell's
terminology Is unfamiliar, his phrases
about revolutionary tactic" industrial
discipline, submission cannot make a
workers world" these freedoms have
to be restricted" Possibly one means
Of clarification for the benefit Of the
public would be to have some appro-
pirate committee of Congress, acting
calmly and without bias for either side,
acting in judicial spirit, to give Prof.
Tugwell the opportunity to state what
are his objectives, both the immediate
purposes Of his actions In his conflict
with Mr.. Peek in the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, and, more i'm
portant, the ultimate detectives Of his
social philosophy.

SUPPLY BILL
Amendments May Authorize
Wilson School, Calvert
And P st. Bridges

Meeting tomorrow to revise the
$31, 100000 1885, District supply
bill approved by the House, the
District subcommittee of the Sen.
ate Appropriations Committee is
expected to insert iberalizing
amendments recommended by
the Commissioners.
Amendments which were recon-
mended by the Commissioners
would authorize the District Of
ficials to transfer appropriation
subitems within municipal de.
partments, issue $1,250,000 relief
funds at whatever rate they con-
sidered necessary and incur a
deficiency, let contracts for con-
struction of Calvert and P Street
bridges.
The School Items
The recommendations are ex-
pected to meet the approval OF
the subcommittee.
Provision will probably be made
for beginning construction Of the
proposed Woodrow Wilson High
School in the Reno section.
The Commissioners asked to
have reappropriated 81, 900, 900 pre-.
viously authorized for Municipal
Center construction, in order that
certain school developments might
be made.
Consideration will be given the
Commissioners request that the
annual payment of $1,OOO,000
which the District makes to the
Federal Government be deferred
for one year.
Other Matters In Air
No decision has been reached
as to what action the subcom-
mittee will take regarding the
House provision that would pre-
vent the Public Utilities Commits
sion from issuing taxicab meter
orders. -.
The subcommittee will decide
what action to take relative to
increasing the lump sum figure
Of $5,700,000 fixed by the House
The subcommittee is believed
to favor the House recommenda.
ton which would permit the
Commissioners to reduce the tax
rate Of $1.70 per 500 to $3.50,
and also the proposed 10 per
cent discount on water bills.
