The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-22

Former President Herbert Hoover is urging members of his party to exercise common sense in their criticism ot the Roosevelt administration and its policies. In what might be termed his first public statements since retiring from the White House in March MT Hoover urges g.o.p. legislators to wait for the ''errors of the economic program to accumulate. We hope that MT Hoover is well advised Tn making such a remark as this. He evl- dently expects President Roosevelt to make mistakes. What if he doesn't? What then, little man? We'd be more ln- clined, were we in MT Hoover's place, to advise his followers not to criticize until it came time for congressional election or even presidential. President Roose- welt got off on the right foot and is still in step. That means he isn't as open to criticism as was MT Hoover and his ad- ministration four years ago.

 Editor, The Democrat:
 Your resolution addressed to congress, now being published in the Democrat, recalls to my mind a discourse given by a business man back in the early part of the de- pression. This man; whose name slips my memory, was addressing a group of small independent mer- chants in New York and he pre- dicted wholesale business failures and vast unemployment-because of private control over our mone- tary system. He said, the depres- sion would never be permanently cured until the government took over control of our monetary sys- tenn as was provided in the Copsti- tuion. At that time we were kid- ding ourselves that-prosperity was just around the tcorner-the import of his predictions fell on deaf ears.
 He said, that as long as private interests controlled money, credits and debts-th--t'we would continue to have depressions-not because of the so-called business cycle-but because of unfair distribution of profits. Somebody reminded him that we came out of other depres- sions to become more prosperous than ever before. Without quoting verbatim recall his answer. In our earlier depressions the United States was still largely undeveloped. Vast deposits of coal, iron, oil, and other ores and minerals were dis

Congress will be asked, shortly after 1t convenes,,to approve an appropriation for a new American embassy in Moscow. Ambassador William c. Bullitt is prepar- ing to make the demand. He claims that there is no adequate structure available there for his purpose. Wonder if congress will require that the work be done under the CWA or the PWA? Perhaps the So- viet Union will do some requiring. It would be quite an impasse if congress re- fused to provide funds for the building Stranger things than this have happened And we can't be too sure that the house will feel with the president or the senate on Russian recognition.

Washington.-President Rodse- velts greatest administrative need at present is a funnel for ideas. A thousand and one different details are poured be- fore him every day, and 1t present he handles the whole stream himself. .
 The Roosevelt funnel used to be Professor Moley., And ul- til the prestige of office-hold- ing went to his head, Moley was an efficient funnel.
 Since his retirement, the Brain Trust of the old days is no more. It was close-knit of only there to four men which fed Roosevelt with all kinds of ideas carefully boiled down and digested.
 bRAINIER BRAIN TRUST
 Now he has much broader Brain Trust. A score of men, some professors, some experts, some close personal friends, pass in and out of his office, sub- init him d constant stream of memoranda. Roosevelt acts largely as his own sieve in sort ing these.
 But the drain on his time is terrific.
 Recently; the Treasury start ed working on the idea of con- .ccntrating investment banking in the hands of bona fide invest mcnt bankers, leaving the com mcrcial banks completely out of the investment picture. This would be a major banking move, would affect a lot of other gOv- crnment agencies. In fact, the treasury immediately found that it would intensely interest the Federal Trade Commission be- cause of the Securities Act, also the Reconstruction Finance Cor pOration.
 Tn the past, Roosevelt him. self has been the chief coordina. tor of moves like this. Now the idea has been raised among some of his close friends of cas- ing this burden. creating for him a new funnel. CAREFUL
 Dr Mordecai Ezekiel, Depart ment of Agriculture economic advisor, and authority on hog propagation, has one ruling pas- sion in life-absolute accuracy.
 Even his chief, Secretary Wal lace, to whom he is intensely devoted, he does not hesitate to call to account for errors of fact. Ezekiel almost had fit when he discovered a .discrep- ancy in a pre-publication copy of Wallace's speech before the American Farm Bureau Fedora tion.
 Wallace had already departed for Chicago, where Inc was to make the address. So Ezekiel sent him the following wire:

The-CWA

With about 4,O0O,OOO idle and needy smen and women put to work at decent wages for nine weeks, many are wonder ing what is going to be done when the time is up. Fortunately most of us are facing realities more frankly than usual, so that the $400,000,000 of public money is not regarded as Christmas gift. There is almost universal agreement that it is right and wise to provide this emergency work. The alternative would be starvation for thousands, privation and sickness on a vast scale, despair and resentment in the cities that might threaten our social order and our governmental system. There is no profit in ignoring stern facts. All that man hath will he give for his life" All a country's resources should be used, if necessary, to keep its people from starving.
 We have made good. start. Business is improving, indexes are more reassur- ing, public and private forecasts promise continued improvement next year. The big thing is to get through this winter. It may be found necessary to continue the emergency employment on useful but. ot- ten trivial jobs until spring comes. We shall know better by the end of January.
 Some are suggesting that the CWA may continue indefinitely We can tell better about that, too, later on. It is not pleas ant to think that we might have to repeat this form of relief on a big scale every winter for years. Good planning, good sense and team work should eliminate the need But there might grow out of it some sort of organization like the Citi- zens Conservation Corps, or the skeleton of one, for use in cities as the CCC is for use in sparsely settled regions.
