Political Victories Ahead

Politically, there's nothing OF the horizon likely to prevent Roosevelt from keeping the inde- pendent and progressive vote in the democratic field. You can be sure of g. big Roosevelt victory in Novembers congressional elec- tions; the president will meet any intervening emergency with those elections in mind.
 The strength behind the Roose- welt plans and programs is that of public opinion and popular faith. If faith and belief abate, the whole picture changes and the question whether we're head ed toward fascism or socialism be- come acute.
 So one often is asked whether Roosevelt can retain his grip on the popular imagination, come what may, until November, 1886. His past-year performance his ability to feel and keep up with the popular pulse while out maneuvering all threats-indicate that he can.
 THE END.

Tax Trend in Doubt

National unemployment and old age pension systems may be cons sidered inevitable during this ad- ministration. Future trend Of tax-" ation will depend on whether re- yiying business contributes rev. enue returns at present rates large enough to meet charges on the en- larged national debt and future ex- penditures.
 Nobody knows to what extent the supreme court will sustain the recovery programs emergency measures.
 The most specific indication of future events is given by Roose- welt as to his long range land plans. Those plans involve de- centralization of industry, large public developments through pub lie works which can be acceler- ated in emergencies, development or abandonment of large areas. flood and soil erosion control efficient planningf of crop areas electric power and road develop ment and what Professor Tugwell calls "an Intervening of the ur- ban and the rural"

ROOSEVELT LOOKS FAR INTO FUTURE
 TO MAP NEXT THREE YEARS COURSE
President Will Be Alert to Every
 Opportunity

Can Roosevelt achieve his ate tempt to cut emergency expend1- lures from seven billions in this fiscal year to two billions Tor 1934-35? It depends on whether industry is stimulated sufficiently by the governments shot in the arm this spring and summer.
 The fate of 100000 civil works employees now being demo- bilized is & vital problem and civil workes probably will be revised. in some form, at least, by fall. Mean while, other measures probaDly must be taken and a new eXpan- sion of public works is likely.

Waits for Opportunity

Roosevelt now has no integrated national plan. His program has been opportunistic, liberal and po- litically skillful. Alternately, he pleases or disappoints-radicals and conservatives.
 Actually, he is trying to salvage the capitalistic system by slough ing off its worst features. Intelr ligent capitalists are able to underwrite his efforts.
 In a new national emergency it's anybody's guess whether Roosevelt would go sharply to the left or right-or in both direc- tions at the same time. But nearly everyone here is Sure

r Agriculture seems destined for increasing federal control. If com pulsory control works in the cot ton area, it will spread to other crops. Processors and distributors of food will be the first objects of any drastic administration attempt to limit. profits.
 Beginnings of a longtime land readjustment program are being made and future plans call for a vast rejiggering. The AAA aims to retire 43,O00,O0O acres of crop land from production this year and whether more or less must be kept from cultivation ill the future depends, according to Secretary Wallace, 'on our tariff policy. :. Administration tendency will be to persuade industry to accept the 32-hour week, since the un- employment burden still is a stag gering one, but Roosevelt isn't yet willing to try to jam it through.

 a start is being made toward re- vival with automobiles and steel leading the procession. The an ticipated, continuing improvement of the next few months, Roose- welt hopes, will be supplemented and. maintained by private in- dustry.
 That brings us to the future of our banks and money. Many lib- erals in the Roosevelt circle still hope for a nationalized banking system. which they consider in evitable in case of another na- tional crisis.
 Further control of banking pol icies from Washington seems in- evitable, in any event. and the thing to watch now is Roosevelt success or failure in stimulating Q more liberal bank lending policy Seek Interest Slash
 Meanwhile, some major move or a series of lesser efforts will be directed toward reducing interes rates. Everyone here agrees ot the necessity.
 Probable effects of the none tary policy are best left to thu economists-and they're at wid' variance.
 Years hence they'll still b, arguing about the relative i'm portance of that and many othe factors in the developments of tn | Roosevelt regime.

sion of industry and there may be more. Assuming that this depres- sion is surmounted, the New Deal crowd doesn't intend to let indus try run head-on into another If 1t can help it.
 Hence, control of production and plant expansion will become large issues.
 MIRA is going to rule the most obnoxious price-fixing provisions out of it's codes, having found they frequently are used as in struments of profiteering-which Is ruinous to purchasing power.
 Its neglected division of re- search and planning will be given new lease of life one of these days, if only to learn how the codes are working.
 The administration has only nibhled at the edges of the un- restricted profit system. It is aware, however, that huge sur plus profits must be distributed to wage earners and to consum- CTS through lower prices if the country is to avoid another crash. Profits to Be Sliced
 It will take the lead by squeez- ing excess profits out of govern ment contracts, by forcing down public utility profits through such "yardsticks" as IVA electricity with its accompanying Electric Home and Farm Authority, de- signed to provide low-cost electri- cal equipmept-and by forcing cuts in exorbitant salaries o1 banks, railroads, insurance com papies and other corporations over which it has acquired some control.
 It proposes to give it's subsidie! to the masses rather than to ia | vored corporations.
 Production control, where at tempted, Is regarded as a tenn l porary emergency measure. Tn l general idea will be to foster ; mass production balanced to mas consumption, which can b, achieved partly by elimination O. waste and excess profits in dis tribution.
