WASHINGTON
President Receives
Protest.
To Revise r
The Silver Situation.

Since the Presidents return from
his vacation, the political forecast
ers have been getting busy again
figuring out what is going to hap
pen next under the New Deal. And
the smartest of them are saying,
quite openly, that all the signs in
dicate that MI. Roosevelt is rapidly
yeering toward the ''left." That is
to say, the feeling here is that poll
cies which are regarded as RADICAL
have definitely won out owe the
more conservative courses which
business men and industrialists have
been hoping he would adopt.
Just how much basis there is for
such a conclusion depends a good
deal, Of course, on definitions.
There are lots of people who slap
the label "radical'' or revolution
ary' Oh anything they don't agree
with. But what is behind this
growing impression of Presidential
radlcalism is not only the recent
naturalization of silver, with its
infationary implications, but some
of the things the President said in
his Green Bay speech, on his way
back to Washington.
THE President is beginning to
talk like Tugwell," is the way one
observer expressed it. Mr.. Tug
we'll has become notorious for
drawing, what some consider, mis-
leading implications from we'll
known facts.
1t is, of course, not quite correct
to say that President Roosevelt
subscribes to all of these radical
doctrines, but since he got back
from his trip to Hawaii he has been
flooded with protests against the
tone of some of his recent utter
ances, coming mostly not from
ultra-conservative or political
sources but from ordinary business
men who are trying to reassure
themselves that business is still go
ing % have a chance to grow and

ceeded in pleasing everybody, and.
Jim Farley has reported to the
President that he is pleasing more
people than any President ever did,
SO much of the complaining runs
off like water off a ducks back.
The plain fact of the situation,
however, is that the Administration
is up against conditions which were
not foreseen and which seem likely
to result in a considerable readjust-
ment of programs, if not of poll
cies.
1t must always be remembered
that Mr.. Roosevelt has consistently
said that he didn't know whether
any of his projects would work.
but he was going to try them, any
way, and if they failed, scrap them
and try something else.
1t seems now to be reasonably
clear that NRA is headed for the
scrap-heap, at least the more oner-
GUS provisions of that complicated
structure.
Business men and industrialists
like the idea of having Govern
ment support for trade association
agreements, and will welcome a
chance to continue, in the major
industries, along the lines laid down
in NRA. They are beginning to
get a bit nervous, however, over
the apparent disagreement between
the President and General Johnson
in the matter of p%rice-fxing. The
Generals idea, which was the
theory at the base of the Recovery
Act, is that prices should go up,
in order that business may make
profits and SO pay better wages and
hire more workers.
The President, it is understood,

Wewoka, Okla, UP)-The Sem mole Indian tribes council house has been moved from Wewoka. old tribal capital, mot. the country to become farmers dwelling.
 The move was made while the tribal chieftains considered going o nanother Trail of Tears" similar to the long trek that brought them here from Florida in 1881.
 Three hundred Seminole braves, disheartened by seeing their once Happy Hunting Grounds' of cen- tral oklahoma sprout oil derricks and turn to industry, have prac- tically determined to move to old Mexico-far' from oil, riches, and the rush of an industrial civiliZa- tion.
 They want to get back to the open spaces, and have begun ne- gotiations for another hunting ground in Sonora.
 The old brown council house, which once stood in the center of Wewoka, had been partly disman- tied. Recently the last of 1t was moved to the Lawrence Young blood farm.
 Within the past 30 years. the IA bands of chieftains, each with a first and second band chief and a lawmaker. sat in theold coun- cil house to dispense tribal jus tice among their people.
 Governor John F. Brown, first chief of the Seminoles, dispensed strict justice from within the council. Lawbreakers were whipped at a tree now standing near the
