Reaction Sets In

To those of us whose job it is to
keep finger on the pulse of public
sentiment, it has been apparent for
several months that reaction against
many of the New Deal principles had
set in. /, for one, however, was unable
to gauge it accurately. I could not
tell how deeply rooted these convic-
tions were. It required some such
incident as the Writ charges to focus
attention on the fact that there were
doubters before most of us here could
gain an idea of the "oppositionist"
movement that appeared to exist. Let
me say at this point, too, that it is
apparent Mr.. Roosevelt is not the only
target; the criticism seems to be more
of the ideas prompted by his brain
rust advisers than the Presidents
own reform or recovery principles.
There is decided difference, one re-
allies, between the two, for one group
in the administration is promoting re-
form and another recovery.
Here is where the Writ testimony
becomes important in it's effect. By
making the charges, Doctor Writ di-
rected attention to the two schools of
thought. In effect, he has called upon
the country to distinguish between
reform and recovery programs and
has asked the question whether we
shall sacrifice recovery in order that
reform ideas may be forced down the
throats of those who find it difficult
to swallow untried theories.
There can be do doubt that several
millions of Americans who, hereto
fore, We're willing to trust Mr.. Roose-
welt to run the whole show, are now
making individual examinations Of
the structure which the New Dealers
have, or propose to, set up. I think II
equally true as we'll that these exam
nations by individuals will result in
crystallizing of opinions more than
has happened up to this time. Thew
undoubtedly will find some good and
some bad, some workable and some
unavoidable, items among the New
Deal plans. That ought to be a whole
some thing for the country. History
seems to prove that a cross section
of our national mind is nearly always
correct after the hysteria dies down.
Thus, the opinions I gather around
Washington stress the Importance of
the reform that obviously is going to

True-False Questions
1. } Growing season tempera-

the hardness of fruit trees during the

2. { Roots exposed to the air
during the preceding summer will
withstand lower temperatures the
following winter than if unexposed
throughout the summer.
sc } The killing of vegetative
buds may take place before that of
fruit buds of our orchard trees.

result from New Deal methods. But
they emphasize equally the Importance
of the Writ testimony in baking an
onrushing wave of so-called reforms
that so many persons consider to be
actually destructive Of the basic and
proved practices of our commerce and
industry.
And, after all, that is the point at
issue in this country today. Doctor
Writ quoted Mr.. Todd as having said
that Roosevelt is in midstream and
the current is too strong for him to
turn back" I still have faith in our
system of government and I have
more faith in a majority opinion Of
the people of the United States. Since
Doctor Writ testified, they are on
their guard. 1t may be that the sun
of the brain trust theorist is setting.

Reed, when he was in the senate, was
probably the most feared of all debat-
ers. His vitriolic retorts and cutting
statements seldom failed to make
spines CULVER. His presence as Doc
tor Wirt's counsel failed at first to
check Mr.. Bulwinkle, but the fact that
he was there provided Mr.. McGugin
with assurance of help in any battle
of words. "
Certain evidence of peoples views
always is reflected in congress rather
quickly after changes in sentiment
takes place, and it is no different now.
There was a time during the first
month of President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration when anything he sent
to congress was put through and no
questions We're asked. Currently, how
ever, there is a disposition among
members Of both political parties in
congress to inquire into the chara-
cter of legislation they are putting
through. For example, the bill that
the President wanted for controlling
the security exchanges, like the New
York Stock Exchange, was advertised
by Democratic leaders at first as be.
ing ready to go through without ques.
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt said he wanted
"teeth" in it, and teeth were put in
it, plenty of them. Indeed, the pro-
posed legislation would have left lit.
tie Of the stock exchange to operate
Rigid control was mild expression
compared with that original stock
market bill.

DR.. Wirt's Charges

Observation-Disclosures who attempts
to interpret Washington news or ap-
praise it's effects meets circumstance
frequently where the only course is
one of watchful waiting. There is no
alternative. Complex situations must
work out; Interior purposes must be
disclosed to slight degree, If there
are such purposes, and some scent
must be had of the factors and influ-
ences at work. Otherwise, appraisal
of the potential effects usually will
miss it's mark under circumstances of
that kind.
Of such type were the charges by
DIR. William A. Writ, the school sup
erintendent from Gary, Ind, who as
serted that "brain trusters" of the
Roosevelt administration were seek
ing to overthrow our form of gov
eminent and establish a communistic
or r ussian Soviet state in it's place.
Doctor Wirt's accusations came out Of
the blue sky, SO to speak, because
there was no advance notice of them.
Of course, there were thousands of
persons who were uneasy about the
trend of events and the plans Of the
New Dealers. Apparently, however,
most of them were unwilling to make
themselves a target for the unbeliev-
ing by becoming vocal about their
opinions. So, the setting in which
Washington observers found them
selves was, to say the least, new
one.
With these facts in mind. I have
awaited an exposition of Doctor Wirt's
charges before attempting to analyze
them or to fit them into other things
that have been happening to make q
complete picture. His appearance be-
fore the house committee of inquiry
left nothing to be desired in the dra-
matics. He was there, accompanied by
that famed attorney, former Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, which was
in itself, surprise. And Doctor Writ
stood up against the barrage Of at
tempts to discredit him! He never
f1inched; he fought back, and he was
apparently convinced of his own
findings, fact that gave him added
courage.
Doctor Writ wasted no words in
telling of the famous party in near
by Virginia home where Lawrence
Todd, Washington representative of
the Russian Soviet news agency
t'Tass' and several Satellites" of the
brain trust were at dinner with the
Indiana educator. He quoted Todd as
the authority for the statement that
President Roosevelt was the "Keren-
sky" of the present revolution and
that presently Mr.. Roosevelt would
be supplanted by a STAIN" even as
occurred in r ussia.
Of course, Mr.. Todd has no part in
the government officially and good
many of those who scoffed at Doctor
Writ originally contended the charges
were just "baloney." But he made
the statements under oath and their
effect now is the thing with which
we are concerned. For to say that the
charges have had no effect is to make
a statement that the moon is made
of green cheese.
