National Chairmen.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt's name has
been brought into the discussion of
the proposed reorganization of the
Republican National Committee. For
more than a year. now, demands
have been made that the G. o. p.
revamp the committee and that a new
chairman be selected in place of
Everett Sanders, who managed the
Hoover campaign in 1892. Sugges-
tions have been made that the job be
turned over to one of various former
Senators, among them Watson of In
diana, Moses of New Hampshire and
Edge of New Jersey. But none Of
these suggestions has registered
strongly with the Republicans. To
many Of them the choice Of one Of
the Old Guard would merely be a
step backward. And now some of the
Republicans are advancing the idea
that the Republican party needs
another Roosevelt"
Col. Roosevelt has more than served
his apprenticeship in politics and In
the Republican party. He has filled
public office scceptably and more. He
served, as his father did before him,
as Assistant Secretary of the Navy
More recently he was governor of
Porto Rico and governor general Of
the Philippines and in those island
possessions of the United States Col.
Roosevelt made an outstanding rec
ord. Ten years ago Col. Roosevelt
ran for Governor of New York against
Alfred E. Smith when Mr.. Smith was
at the very zenith of his popularity
in the Empire State. Col. Roosevelt
was defeated, but only by about 49,
900 in an election in which nearly
two million and a quarter votes were
cast.

It is the moment of the year that
prompted Washington Irving to write:
It was inspiring and animating to

earth beginning to put forth the green
sprout and the tender blade; and the
trees and shrubs, in their reviving

promise of returning foliage and
flower.
And Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
also responded to the magic of the

The Bankhead cotton control bill
advocates of the measure stressing the
fact that cotton farmers are united in
support of the legislation. Fear is ex-
pressed, however, in some quarters,
lest the policy thus instituted presage
like control of other agricultural COM
modities.
For some years." observes the New
port News Daily Press, the cotton
farmer has complained of his plight
and still he has gone on year after
year growing all the cotton his acres
would yield, and declining to vary his
crop. There has appeared on the
scene q man who no longer talks
about what would be the result if
certain ideas we're put into practice.
He projects measures to put the long
contemplated ideas into action" While
conceding that "the Bankhead bill is
probably a long stride to the left in
economic theory" the st. Louis Post
Dispatch thinks there was little
choice in the matter" since the al
ternative was to give the 'chiselers' q
free hand. to open up the door again
to the wild individualism that has had
the cotton belt on its uppers for the
last twelve years, and to collapse all
the efforts Of the administration to
save the cotton grower from cutting
his own throat" This paper adds:
Only one move was open. That was
to force prosperity on q business re-
gion which. II left to the old order of
things, would be upholding the dignity
of individualism and very nat purses"
Control Of production is necessary
to the achievement of order in our
economic system" states the Haverhill
Gazette. and the Houston Chronicle
points out that the cotton program,
now assured, gives US q problem in
the care Of tenant farmers who may
be denied work opportunity. but prac-
tically assures . continuation, II not
an improvement, Of the present price
Of cotton, a thing on which the
South's hopes for further progress out
of the depression depend" The In
dianapolis Star, on the other hand, is
convinced that ANY material benefit
that could possibly be derived by the
cotton planter would be at the expense
Of others in the United States and at
the cost Of curtailment of the total
agricultural revenue of the Nation"
The San Antonio Express views the
question in the light of Secretary
Wallaces ultimate objective, which It
describes in the statement: "The new
agriculture which Secretary Wallace
has In mind would be self sustaining,
rather than elf-contained. The
farmer would turn the unproductive
acres back to the woods; on them he
would grow . timber, and perhaps q
game. crop. Then he would cultivate
the good land intensively. while con-
serving and building up the soil. First
he would undertake to produce his
own foodstuffs and feed for his live
stock. His money crop would be Sec
ondary, but what he did grow would
yield him q fair profit. 1t would be
a money crop in fact rs well as in
name. He would reduce tariffs, sell
farm and other products abroad and
buy goods in return: but at the same
time he would have the farmer live
at home"

Concern is expressed by Tue Chat

states that no Government action

consequences of the expansion of cot :
ton production on cheaper lands in
foreign countries" -
Ninety per cent of the producers
OF the fleecy staple favor the Enact
ment OF the Bankhead prossam,r de-
clares the Austin (Tex) american
and the Portland CMe.) Press-Herald
and the Reno Evening Gazette also
call attention to this fact. 1T Is the
declared policy Of the Nation that the
majority of an industry should, within
limits. determine broad policies of
operation, and from this standpoint
there is little novelty in The Bank
head BILL" says the Danbury News
Times.
1t is the opinion of the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette that "the farmers may
want compulsory limitation now, TO
put a check on chiselling: hut when
prosperity Is re-establishedT they may
take different view Of governmental
control" The Wichita Eagle. however.
expresses the hope that idle acres
may persuade the cotton planter to
turn to other crops and - live stock,
diversified and so prosperympre than
he has by cotton alone" ~ {.

the Raleigh News and Observer, while
the jamestown IN. ~ Pest believes
that 1T may reduce the crop to con-
sumption demands. but it viii have

uonal problems" '.
The Sioux Falls Daily Argus Leader
calls the measure "un-American," but
the Charlotte News remarks that If
tyranny Is comprised in the-bill, 1t is
q rare form: for the cotton farmers,
or an overwhelming proportion of
them. have bespoken it." and the Ok
lahoma News expresses the opinion
that "the cotton control hiil Is the
latest forward step toward that
planned agriculture upon which re-
covery must rest" The Yakima Morn
ing Herald and the Buffalo Evening
News doubt the "workability' of the
program, but the Uniontown Morning
Herald declares that "the chief merit
claimed for the Bankhead bill is sim
plicity" 80
If the Bankhead bill becomes q law
1t should be given a fair trial" states
the Columbus Enquirer. "If it doesn't
work, something else must be tried.
Unless production can be brought
more nearly In line with demand. the
cotton farmer Is headed for ruin"

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

the stunt has made big hit through
out his home area. Other members
Of Congress in the past have talked
into a microphone in Washington and
had transcription" records sent to
their home districts for local broad
cast reproduction, but Representative
Ellenbogen is the first M. C. to speak
regularly straight into the living
rooms of the people who sent him to
Capitol Hill.
Former Senator Jim Watson of In
diana, who continues to figure In the
Republican National Committee chair
manship gossip, retains a home in
Washington and commutes between
the District of Columbia and Indian
apolis and Chicago. in which two
cities he has law Offices. Jim claims
he is establishing an all-time ex-
Senator's record by never going near
the Capitol on his periodical visits to
Washington.
Senor Santiago Iglesias. who Is
completing his first term in Congress
as resident commissioner of Puerto
Rico, is proud of the fact that he has
the same birthday as George WASH
ington, having been born in Coruna.
Spain, on February %, 1872. He has
another link with the United States
through the fact that in 1901 Samuel
Gompers appointed him as general
organizer Of the American Federation
of Labor for the district of Puerto
Rico and Cuba. He was a member of
the Puerto Rican Senate when elected
to the United States Congress in 1892.
If he carries out his tentative plans
to reach Washington next Friday, the
18th, President Roosevelt will indi.
cate that he has the same disregard
for superstition that Woodrow Wilson
had. The World War President liked
the "unlucky" number so much that
he regularly chose to do things on
that day OF the month.
In the diplomatic set there's lively
curiosity as to whether the debt ques-
ton is going to cause a rift in the
Soviet-American lutte at the very OUT
set Of the newly established diplomatic
relations. Recent enactment of the
johnson bill by Congress, barring new
American loans to nations In default
to the United States, is held by WASH
ington officials definitely to apply to
the old Russian cZarist and Kerensky
debts owing to this country, despite
the Soviet's refusal to acknowledge
any responsibility for them. A show
down is imminent, as the question of
American trade credits for the Soviet
is about to be tackled. Moscow holds
counter claim against us for war
damages" in Siberia.
+ X
Spain follows a precedent that Is be-
coming common with foreign govern
ments, by sending as Ambassador to
the United States a man who had
diplomatic experience in this coun-
try. Senor Luis Calderon, who has
been appointed to succeed Ambassador
Cardenas here, was formerly COM
mercial attache at the Spanish en-
bassy in Washington. He knows
Spanish American trade problems
thoroughly, a circumstance which
probably led to his selection. because
of the approach of Spanish American
| reciprocal tariff negotiations. He is
now Spanish consul general IN
London.
