Roosevelt Regime slack
ing Several Votes to
Put Project Over

Washington, Feb 17..(UP)-
The administrators hopes for OBJ
tanning enough votes to ratify the
st Lawrence waterway treaty have
received sharp setback. It be-
came apparent today little gain
had been made in the drive to
rally sufficient support to the con-
troversial treaty, the only current
phase of the congressional outlook
which carries any great threat to
administration prestige.
Ten days ago, 1t appeared as II
administration pressure would
swing the balance of power to the
side of treaty ratification. Recent
ly, however, 1t has become evident
that the two thirds majority is still
lacking, and that a vote on the
treaty is still far distant.
Administration leaders have cam
vassed the situation and found that
they still need six or seven votes
to effect ratification.
The senate's opder Of business
precludes an, early treaty vote. It
was in recess today. Under unani-
nous consent agreement it takes
up the veterans and government
pay cut issues Monday, in connec-
ton with the independent offices
appropriation bill, and then goes
to consideration Of the navy con-
struction bill.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Feb 17-(UP)-With

consuming demand for wool is sag

comparatively light with larger
sales expected shortly. Prices are
firm and unchanged.
Price resistance of clothing
manufacturers has developed D
trend to produce many fabrics of

cording to the National Wool Mar
keting Corporation. This trend is
seen as a long-run menace to wool
consumption and the National Is
investigating in behalf of wool
growers. "This spring undoubted-
iy many clothes will be sold as all
wool which contain a percentage
Of cotton" says the National. This
condition has not existe for many
years"
The u. s. Agriculture depart
ment says: Scattered sales of
moderate volume were closed In
the Boston wool market during the
past week. More demand than for
several wekes was received on ass.

The Federal Reserve Board, the
oretically autonomous, has become
more and more an obedient appen-
dage OF the government. The eff
fectiveness of the Federal Reserve
system, after q life of twenty year,
has been largely nuliifed. 1t may
within q short time be completely
destroyed. just as we have nation
allied all gold in the hands of the
government, there is growing de-
mand that we similarly nationalize
the control of credit.
Several factors account for the
decline in prestige, and hence in
power, of the Reserve system. In
recent years both the Reserve
board and the most important of
the twelve Reserve banks have
lacked strong and dynamic leaders.
In the minds of the minimizing the
reserve Is blamed, together with
bankers generally, for the depres-
sion. AS the reserves prestige has
declined, that of a popular Presi-
dent has increased. To him the
public has looked increasingly for
financial and economic salvation.
In this situation politicians, and
especially the left-wing infiation-
