istrator Hopkins now comedies has

battles for legislation in congress, all
are accepted as showing the desire of
the President to accomplish change

it is another exposition of the Roose-

Whether it will, remains to be seen.

National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart

Neutrality-suspicious. of general dis
cussion in Washington obviously
range the whole category of subjects
that go to make up the New Deal"
but have been impressed lately with
the predominant place now held by
two questions in the conversations one
hears about the streets, offices, clubs
and other places where men meet.
Largely to the exclusion of other mat
tiers, one hears people trying to fig
ure out whether a turn has come in
the Roosevelt political luck, as one
topic, and growing comment on the
prevalent confusion within the adj
ministration, as the other subject of
comment. True, they constitute ques-
lions to which the final answer is not
yet apparent, but the thought l am
trying to advance is that possibly the
New Deal is undergoing some sort of
a transition after one year.
Attention should be called again to
the all-embracing control which Pres
ldent Roosevelt hitherto has exercis-
ed almost without effort. Anything he
said, anything he did, or anything he
proposed, was accepted. There were
few critics, and those who did criti-
cized cannot be described as highly
vocal. Now, however, it is a fact that
there are more critics and they are
making noise that is not hushed.
There are open opponents of the adj
nninistration policies, not only in the
Republican ranks where it is natural

ing of new progress, and it may serve
to get rid of some of the appointees
whose work has not been satisfact-
DRY, without causing political strife,
but / believe the end sought will be
no different than the CWA plan.
While this has been worked out,
there have been new rulings galore
respecting the Agricultural Adjust
ment administration contracts with
farmers, relating to cotton, wheat,
corn and hogs; a new policy also re-
speeding treatment of the dairy in
dustry and new setup for handling
foreign trade. The treasury with it's
vast gold hoard has had to work out
details slowly, but there are myriads
of those details. And on top of these,
there has come ruckus in congress
where 435 representatives and 30-odd

they would be found, but among the
Democrats as well.
AS nearly as / can ascertain, the
wave of criticism that has come forth
into bloom is traceable to one of Mr.
Roosevelt's acts, directly. The con-
fusion that has followed seems, at
the same time, to have been given
birth as result of the unexpected
criticism. Or to state the proposition
in another manner, the administration

issue over which individuals can take
sides. It is really the first time he
has provided the opposition with a
peg on which they can hang their
hats.
While the official spokesman of the
administration say there is no con-
nection between the back-fire result
ing from the contract cancellation and
the several moves made by the Pres
ident since. in his far flug efforts to
pet us out of the depression, I am told
that these declarations are having no

BERRY CODE

T Z
Several years ago efforts of the
Kennewick Chamber of Commerce
were directed toward unifying the To-
cal selling agencies on price quota
tions to outside points. An agree
ment to stick to the same quotations
each day did not seem to work out,
although the plan carried all the
earmarks of being a good one. Now
the code proposition seems to offer
an tout" on the same situation. In
the governments effort to secure
reasonable returns for farm produce
the code may make it mandatory to
do the thing which the local organi-
zation failed to accomplish some years
ago. On the face Of the proposition
it seems SO terribly unnecessary 70
have local agencies cut each others
quotations, especially since it is the
grower who must stand the lowered
price. The strawberry code now be-
ing in process of formation should
be watched closely by the growers of
other products. If it is possible to
replace the berry business on firm
foundation, there is no reason why
other crops should not undergo SIM
liar process. No doubt the strawber-
ny code will be watched with more
than unusual interest this spring.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1934-03-15

edge of changes resulting from one
move, another or several has taken
place. They have come, accurately
speaking "from all over town." for
the numerous agencies, administraI-
ors, bureaus, departments and so
forth are scattered that widely.
Here is an illustration of how
things change: from the various
sources of information which the ad-
ministration has set up, the CORES
pondents Were led to believe that the
civil works administration plan of re-
lief was going along all hunky dory.
Then, rather suddenly, there came the
happening which ! predicted some
months ago, namely, a lot of petty
graft. Next, Mr.. Hopkins, the admin
istrator, made a rather clean breast
of the thing, saying, in effect, that
the CWA had flopped.
But few of the correspondents were
prepared for the sudden announce
ment from the President that SUBJ
stitute plan had been evolved. The
President had been planning to elm
mate CWA relief with the return of
warmer weather. Something had hap
pened, however, with which the cor
respondents were not made acquaint-
ed. This was development of con-
clusion that industry, despite the MIRA
anad other New Deal plans, was not
absorbing workers as rapidly as had
been expected. Hence, the President
decided to continue the CWA pro-
gram, but in different form.
1t ought to be said here that in
dustry has not been entirely to blame.
Industry is recovering. Of that, there
can be no doubt. But the progress has
been just as slow as progress that
takes place when human being re-
covers from a long illness. Some of
the economists in the government
have been frank enough to tell me
that they had been too optimistic;
they were justified in their belief that
recovery was under way, and it is
happening, but their guess had been
wrong as to speed.

NOT so EARLY

Spring this year seems unusually
early. AS matter of fact, it isn't,
judging from the time the first as
paragus is shipped. Twice in former
years the first commercial shipments
of Kennewick asparagus have been
made on st. Patrick's Day. This year
the first shipment is but day or
two earlier. Other crops are about
in the same general development.
The pleasant side of the prospect is
that chances are the district will not
undergo the usual frost risks owing
to the lack of snow in the surround
ing hills. It looks like Kennewick
would have a bumper crop of every
thing this year.

CANNERY SUPPORT

An unlocked for support has been
received from the growers of the dis
trict for the cannery. Somewhat wor-
ried about his ability to secure enough
products he needed, Mr.. Brownell fig
ured he would be able to ship in some
stuff. In the week just ended he has
found that he not only will not be OBJ
liged to ship in stuff, but could ship it
out, if necessary. The response has
been wonderful. No shortage of ma
terial to can will be found. The COM
munity, both financially and otherwise
is backing the new institution to the
limit.

WON'T TAKE IT.

Newspaper reports seem to indicate
that President Roosevelt is not going
to take the recommendation of the
Kennewick Young Mems Democratic
club too seriously as regards having
the army continue to carry the mail.
His orders are to have the job turned
back to the companies which have

PRINTING CODE

\ 80.
Now that the Graphic Arts code,
which embraces all branches of the
printing business, has been signed and
has become one of the laws of the
land, printers are hopeful that many
of the abuses which have existed for
years past may be eliminated. This
code is the only one so far which has
the entire administration left within
the industry itself. Strict are the pen
alties for violation and the men who
are engaged in the industry are con-
fident of their ability to administer
its provisions to the advantage of
both producer and consumer. It is an
experiment which everyone hopes will
prove successful to an outstanding
degree.

Relief Program

Mr.. Roosevelt outlined in his an
nouncement a program of relief for:
first, distressed families in rural
areas; stranded families and poupla-
tions in communities where indus
tries have died, and for unemployed
populations in large cities. From this
outline, it would appear that there
had been great change in the method
of dealing out relief, compared with
the present system. As far as / can
get facts on this new program, how
ever, there is actually little differ
ence. 1t may serve to create feel

to see the berry again become one Of
the districts leading crops. It's GER
tain that no crop we have ever had
here has offered so large a profit as
the good old strawberry when it was
at its best. And with more knowledge
of the hows and wherefores which we
now have, they should come back
strong.

sPRINGTIME-

Peculiar feeling we old timers have
about the turning in and out of the
water in the ditch. The first flow in
the spring seems to indicate an
awakening, revival of community
activities, a promise of the good
things possible to the district. The
last days run always has the opposite
effect-a community death, as it
were. We prefer the spring time.

SWINGING BACK

Recent city elections have given
unmistakable evidence of political
swing in the opposite direction. No
longer are the left-wingers so DOM
inately in control. Radicalism is no
longer rampant and citizens are be-
ginning to realize that while change
occasionally is desirable, there is such
thing as carrying the matter too
far.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1934-03-15
Hit at Expenditures

1t is to be observed that, for the
first time, criticism of the New Deal
plans includes sizable attack on the
vast expenditures being made. Mr..
Roosevelt has been spending money
as fast, if not faster, than was spent
during the World war, and many per-
sons are now coming forward with
the assertion that spending our way
out of the depression" may leave the
government with such debt that our
children's children still will be pay
ing on it. But right in the face of
these attacks, Mr.. Roosevelt has brot
fouth the CWA substitute and re-
quest that congress appropriate $780,
100000 to pay for it.
In the meantime and while the con-
fusion has become worse COMPOUNDED,
it is to be noted that orders have
gone from the executive offices to
the Democratic leaders in congress to
get new air mail contract legislation
through in a hurry. This legislation
is predicated on the theory that pri-
vate air lines shall carry the air
mail Further, there is every reason
to believe now that the companies
whose contracts were cancelled so
hastily will be allowed to bid again
for the jobs.
Postmaster General Farley main
tains the President was acting in ac-
cordance with law when he ordered
the mail contracts cancelled. Mr..
Roosevelt has said so in several diff
fereent languages. The fact remains,
however, that it always has been the
practeci to accord an opportunity for
hearing, whether the charge be one
of fraud or whether it be some other
allegation. No hearing was granted
the air mail contractors. Indeed, they
were given less than two weeks of
time before they were off Of the job,
and the army pilots were doing the
work. According to the discussion. in
congress, it is quite evident there are
man y influential persons throughout
the country who feel the contractors
were not given fair shake by the
President.
The conversations hear. are to the
general effect that if the army had
been equipped to do the mail carry
ing job, as some of its general staff
members publicly announced, and if
there had been no such deplorable loss
Of life among the youthful army ni-
lots as occurred, Mr.. Roosevelt in all
likelihood would have had few roper
cussions to the dramatic cancellation
of contracts. But the army planes
were not fitted for the job, and there
was deplorable loss of life among
the youthful army pilots. And on top
of that, there was open criticism of
the cancellation order among a good
many of the Presidents own party in
congress.
If the criticism of the air mail con-
tracts had come alone, Mr.. Roose-
welt, in the opinion of many compe-
tent observers, would have weathered
the storm. Probably he would have
been the gamer, because few people
are willing to condone crookedness.
Much Confusion
I mentioned confusion as one of the
main topics of conversation in Wash
ington. That is correct statement.
At no time in long acquaintance
with official affairs have I seen cir
cumstances in the nations capital in
which the moves have been so swift
that even trained observers have their
difficulties in keeping up. Actually,
