NEW WOEFOR
DEMOCRATS
BY KARL M. KAHN
(CopyriEht, 1894, by International
News SerVlcel


It's nearly four weeks since the
voters went to the polls, but the
Democrats election troubles aren't
over yet.
Mr.. Roosevelt's party has such
huge majorities in both houses Of
Congress that one Senator or Rep
resentative more or less won't
make any difference when 1t
comes to a vote on Administra.
ton policies.
But there is a great deal more
than that behind the question OF
whether Senator Bronson Cutting
or Representative Dennis Chavez,
his Democratic opponent in the
recent election, is going to be one
of New Mexico'S members Of the
Senate in the Seventy-F Fourth Con,
greSS.
If there's a Senate contest
over the election, and it seems
inevitable, there are going to be
loud screams from Liberal Re.
publicanS if the Democrats seat
Mr.. Chavez.
Nebraska's Senator Norris, who
has followed the New Dealers on
most of the paths that are
road-marked "to the more abund.
ant life," has started to scream
already.
Senator Norris and others in
the group that deserted the G..
o. P. to support Mr.. Roosevelt
in Ex-senator johnson Of Cali
fornia, Senator LaFollette Of
Wisconsin, Senator Cutting and
several otherS-felt none too
good when the President did not
openly indorse young Bob, Mr..
Cutting and Minnesota's Henrik
ShipStead in their election con-
tests.
It is not going to be easy to
pacify them if Senator Cutting
is unseated unless it can be dis.
closed beyond any shadow of
doubt that Mr.. Chavez was
counted out in New Mexico.
Any attempt to count out Sena-
tor Cutting in the Senate will
cause Senator Norris to raise the
cry Of "Farleyism" as he hasn't
raised it yet, and the Nebraskan
already has said some vigorous
words on that subject.
Long before Mr.. Roosevelt said
that offices in the Government
were not compatible with offices
in the national committee, Sena-
tor Norris voice was crying in
the wilderness against Mr.. Far
ley's occupation Of the jobs he
holds-Postmaster General and
chairman Of the national com.
mittee.
Why, asks Senator Norris,
should there be an exception in
the case of Mr.. Farley?

Cut in Expenditures
Of u. S. Predicted

In advance Of the Presidents
recommendations to Congress,
Chairman Buchanan, Of the
House Committee on Appropria-
tions, has suggested that all
emergency expenditures be cut
down gradually as an aid to
business recovery. Representa-
tive Buchanan said today that
he had no idea what the Presi.
dent would request in the way
of emergency money, but that the
appropriations committee, OF
which he is chairman, would
adopt a policy of a yearly di-
minution Of these extra expenses
so far as possible.

ties are now being missed because of
the unpopularity of foreign dollar
bonds. With trade improvement in
South and Central America and cur
rency Sterilization in Europe, there
would be a surprising recovery In
scores of issues now quoted at heavy
discounts.
The business curve moves slowly but
surely upward from week to week. One
trade journal suggests that "a creep
ing recovery movement may be getting
under way" There is no doubt Of
this. Since the middle of October
each week has witnessed a small gain
in the volume of iron and steel pro-
duction. Electric power output is at
the highest since July, owing to an
unusual squirt in New England. Those
who canvass the retail trade predict
the greatest amount of Christmas
buying in five years.
The housing problem does not move
so freely as one might hope, but its
expansion is definite and. little by lit
tie, it is absorbing more mechanics
into the building industry and assist
ing the materials trade. There are
numerous reports from different sec
tons of the country of an improve
ment in the real estate situation. Va
cancies are decreasing, the low level
of rents appears to have been reached
and the beginning of a demand for
certain kinds of properties is visible.
A loan of $50 1000, 900 by Holland to
Belgium this week has not so far
greatly changed the position of the
borrowing country. Its exchange con-
tinues to wobble. 1t seems inevitable
that it will finally have to be adjusted
to practical economic problem. The
necessity on the part of the United
States ard Great Britain of arriving
at a point of agreement as to the
parity of their currencies is here re-
emphasized They have the fate of
the gold bloc countries in their hands.
To wait for collapse before trying to
administer cure would be one of the
greatest mistakes of the depression.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, December 5
GP.-Commodity prices during the
first week in December registered a
moderate advance, carrying the price
level to the highest point since late
September. During the past six weeks
the underlying trend of commodity
prices has moved upward in direct
alignment with the seasonal eleva-
ton in industrial activity. The most
recent upswing was not due to any
specific group but was general, as
out of IA individual groups averaged
higher, only were lower, while 4
groups remain unchanged.
Industrial prices increased slightly,
caused by a higher price average for
fuels hides and leather, paint ma
terial, ferrous metals and vegetable
oils.
Farm Prices Climb.
Agricultural prices also moved up
ward during the week. despite the
fact that more items declined than
advanced. Price strength in corn.
oats, barley, rye, peanuts and butter
more than offset the lower level, as
compared with q week ago for wheat
eggs. cotton. hay, beans, sugar and
f1aXseed.
Live stock represents one Of the
two groups that declined. The ex-
tent of the reaction, however, was of
limited proportions, but both cattle
and hogs average slightly less than a
week ago. Lamb prices averaged
higher.
The hide and leather group moved
upward under the leadership of hides,
which advanced Il cent during the
week
Ferrous metals were slightly higher,
caused by strength in steel scrap
Fuels also averaged higher than a
week ago due entirely to an increase
in kerosene prices.
Fine textiles represent the second
group to decline. The reaction was
of extremely small proportions and
reflected lower quotations for cotton
as well as silk
Coarse textiles ruled higher as the
price increase in jute more than Off
set the price decline in sisal.
Vegetable oils continued the broad
recovery of recent weeks. reaching a
new high on the current movement
under the leadership of further
strength in coron, cottonseed, lin
seed. China wood and soya bean oils
