Our Daily Washington Letter
Great Power Awaits Roosevelt
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Incidentally, the current disgust with congress has been enhanced by rather than born of the depres- sion period. One recalls that in the Coolidge administration, Vi e. President Dawes and Governor Lowden of Illinois, among others, were warning against breakdown of popular, parliamentary govern ment and the approach of dictor- ship.
 Wartime powers of a president are almost complete, under the constitution, and even in peacetime he can do about as he pleases with the Army and Navy. Presi- dents have called out federal troops time and again-for the whisky rebellion, the Civil war long before congress acted, the Pullman strike, the protection of Panamanian independence and the eviction of the bonus army from Washington.
 Congress never delegated as many powers to another presi- dent as 1t did to Woodrow Wilson. Through individuals and commits sions he was even able to fix prices which is ordinarily unconstitu- tional, according to the supreme court.
 Congress isn't permitted to dele- gate it's legislative power to the president but 1t can go the limit by making him it's agent in laying down regulations and formulating policies under legislation which it enacts for the purpose.
 Thus it has given him the privi- lege of altering tariff rates and controlling exports of munitions to some countries and shifted an in- direct control of such matters as interstate commerce, transporta- tion, power sites and radio which may be exercised through the pow CT of appointment and removal.

YALE-HARvARD INNOVATION
(Hartford Times)

4AAlOo/
 As far as we know, the giving of joint courses my two entirely separate universities is without American precedent, yet Yale and Harvard have agreed to make the experiment. Especially selected men will be given the opportun- ity of taking their first law-study year at the Yale law school. the next year will be spent at the Har- yard graduate school of business, and the netx two years again the Yale law school, finishing course especially designed to turn out lawyers equipped to deal with the problems Of finance.
 This proposal seems to be meri- torious both from the standpoint of thrift in making use of the facilities offered by two institutions and in the practical way of supply ing q specialized law-business study the mastery of which would give a young man exceptional chance for easier entrance into successful live lihood and in an avenue which at present is not cowded.
