act was chiefly due to the op-
position of veterans organiza-
tionS.
But the President has put the
country Oh notice that he will
renew his effort at the begin
ming of the next Congress to
obtain the Senate's advice and
consent to the ratification of
the st. Lawrence Treaty, ard
few are the Senators who BE-
lieve that his next effort will
not succeed.
Seldom in days of peace has
political partisanship been so
conspicuous by its absence as
during the life Of the Seventy.
third Congress. There have been
comparatively few divisions on
strictly party lines on most Of
the Administration measures for
which this Congress is nomi-
nally responsible.
The leadership of action
raised up by the President and
the docility with which the Con-
gress has followed where he led
have been due to two causes:
House Leaderless
The common desire to con-
quer the depression as swiftly
as possible.
The common preference for
the legislative leadership of the
President to any leadership of
which the Democratic party in
Congress appeared to be cap
able.
The record will show that the
Democratic House has for the
most part been bereft of any
leadership of its own creation
and that the Democratic Sen
ate has on frequent occasions
refused to support such leader
ship as it possessed.
The leaderleSs condition Of
the House finally necessitated
the adoption of a drastic gag
rule, the real purpose of which
was to discipline the Democratic
majority in that body, a major
ity generally admitted to be
too large to be workable.
The reluctance of the Demo
cratic majority in the Senate to
support its leadership finally
subjected the Senate to the
supinc predicament in which it
found itself last Saturday night.
The majority leadership was un-
able to carry out its agreement
with the minority or it's agree
ment with the House to adjourn
on that day. This necessitated
the recess over the weekend and
served to warn the country how
completely dependent the Sev-
enty-third Congress has been
from first to last upon the legis-
lative leadership Of the man in
the White House.
In time OF, war, such depend
ence is customary. In time OF
peace 1t has seldom gone so far.

History will doubtless find in
the legislative leadership of the
President the distinctive fea-
ture Of the life and work of
the Seventy:third Congress.
From first to last, this lead
ership has been chiefly re-
sponsible for the sum and the
substance of the legislative en-
actments of the first Congress
to meet since the Norris amend
ment which limited the Con-
gress to one regular session,
but left to the Presidents dis
cretion the convening Of Con.
gresS in extra session.
Nearly all of the legislation
enacted by this Congress, both
at the extra session which met
soon after President ROosevelt's
Inauguration, and at the regu-
lar session, which began last
January, originated in the
White House.
A great deal of this legiSla-
ton was drafted by executive
experts. These experts assisted
the congressional committees
in preparing the bills and re-
ports and in perfecting the
amendments that were neces.
Sary either to meet require
ments of the President or to
overcome opposition in Con-
gresS.
The Seventy-third Congress
has been chiefly engaged from
the day it started until its
close in delegating to the Presi-
dent its constitutional authori-
ties and responsibilities, and in
approving his recommendations
for the appropriations Of the
vast sums Of public money to
be expended under his direc-
ton.
Although the President has
not obtained all the legislation
he desired, no President in his
tory has been more successful
in heading off legislation which
he did not wish.
One Treaty Draft
OF the comparatively few
vetoes recorded under this Ad-
miniStration, the only one
which Congress has overridden
was that Of the independent
offices bill. This measure Mr..
Roosevelt disapproved because,
according to his estimate, it
added 1929, 100000 a year to
the Federal tax burden in
flicted upon the people, and
revived a form of "presump-
tive" disability payments for
veterans which he vigorously
condemned.
The only treaty which the
President attempted without
success to have ratified was the
st. Lawrence waterways Treaty.
The defeat Of this treaty is
generally attributed to railroad
opposition, just as the over
riding Of the Presidents veto

By John SnUre, J.

Catapulting legislation to-
ward passage in the closing
hours of this session, the Sen
ate refused to provide for an
international highway to Alaska
as proposed by Senator Clar-
ence Dill of Washington.
Senator Dill asked for S.
100000 to build the road. The
Senate, refused to grant his
request and reduced to $1,000
900 the $5,0O0,000 amendment
to the deficiency appropriation
bill providing for the survey of
a road to South America.
Although the Senate refused
to accept Senator Dill's amend
ment for the Alaska road it
probably will be called upon to
vote on the same question next
year. There are many men in
the upper branch of Congress
and elsewhere who believe in
the advisability of such a high
way.
In the Senate debate the other
day, little was said of the
military advantages of such a
road. Members hesitated to
stress that the highway would
give the United States a sub.
stantial advantage from a mill
tary standpoint.
In the event of trouble with
an Eastern nation, the ships
of that country probably would
steam toward the coast of the
United States. To do so, they
probably would travel the route
of the great circle" swinging
upward to Alaska. as that is
the shortest route.
Should the highway be con-
structed this Government, STRAIT
egiSts say, could rush troops
to Alaska, and convey supplies
by truck, in much faster time
than they could by boat. Rail
facilities are inconsequential.
Senator Homer T. Bone, the
liberal and energetic junior Sen
ator from Washington, is one
of the most earnest advocates
of the road.
He points out that the OBJ
lection to spending money in
Canadian territory is ridiculous.
Senator Bone stresses the the
Ory that, although the money
would be spent in Canada, the
real benefit would be to the
United States, from a military
standpoint.
The route is 1900 miles. More
than 200 miles of highway have
been completed. The plan is to
lay the road behind a noun
tain range so that it would be
protected from long-range guns
of enemy ships. Such a high
way, he contends would open
up one of the most valuable
and beautiful territories of the
United States to the tourist
trade.
In 1917, advocates of the road
say, this Government expended
billions of dollars in foreign
lands for military reasons. It
would be a wise venture, they

The Human Side of the News
Listening Machine Locates Golden Treasures
Bu EdIUin C., Hill

When the naughty Spanish
conquistadores struck boldly
into the unknown lands of
South and Central America, ap-
pearing, in their shining armor
and astride their great war
horses, like gods, to the simple
natives, they tore down ancient
civilizations that were literally
plated with gold.
PiZarro in Peru looted from
the IncaS at least five hundred
million dollars in gold bullion
and, ornaments.
Cortez in Mexico sent whole
ShiploadS Of gold home to his
royal master and enriched him
self and his men. Alvarado,
sweeping over the Maya king
doms Of Central America, won
golden treasure by the ton.
Secret Caches
But for every ounce of gold
wrested from them by the
greed-maddened Spanish con-
querors, the priests and the
people buried in their jungles
and sank in their lakes at least
two ounces.
A treasure beyond imagina-
ton, equal, probably, to the
worlds gold reserve today
since it was accumulation of
many, many centuries.
There it has lain hidden,
these four hundred years, the
hiding places known only to a
few priests of the old religions,
and guarded with sullen deter
mination.
But a young American, Lieut..
George Williams, is discovering
these ancient and secret boards
Of gold and already, with the
aid of a marvellous and delicate
electrical machine, is reported
to have a hoard of the lost
treasure. It is the most fas-
cinating story, believe it or
not"
Williams invented a listen
ing" machine of wires and dials
and earphones. Wherever tradi-
ton locates the hiding place Of
Aztec or Mayan gold, Williams
goes with his miraculous de-
vice.
Wires attached to metal
stakes driven into the ground
convey to earphones, delicately
adjusted by dials, like the dials
Of your radio, a kind of elec-
trical agitation wherever gold
lies buried.
