Huey Long recently wrote a friend
about his presidential aspirations as
follows:
"You flatter me. Believe me when
I say that I have no further political
aspirations. would be a happy man
if could secure the passage Of my
bill for the redistribution of wealth
." for I would that night retire
from the Senate and all political
life ="
That Is sound offer for any
presidential candidate, as no one will
take him up on it.
A. A. A. Administrator Chester Da-
Wis does not believe the reports he
sees in the papers about him leaving
the New Deal July /. He says he
has no such intention and has re-
ceived no such suggestion.
Huey Long uses United States
Senate Judiciary Committee sta
tionery, on Dhic1l he adds: Louis
lana office, S22 Perdido street, NeD
Orleans" In other 1Dords, the
Huey Long branch of the Senate
Judiciary Committee is at that dd-
dress.
One bill which no one need worry
about any more is that of Senator
Norris to abolish politics in the Post
ONCE Department. Few Congressman
will dare oppose it openly. but they
will kill 1t with silence.
The New Deal is whooping up pres
sure on Congress for the relief bill

will run out. There are several ways
he can get more money temporarily
If he wants to.
Supreme Court experts say there
is nothing to prevent the court
from handing down the gold de-
cision Unexpectedly after the mar

The underlying difficulty in the
Russian case is the same as in all.
The Russians will not trade unless
they get the best of it. Specifically
they spurn a long-term credit and
demand a 100000 900 cash loan. In
other words, they not only refuse
credit but want to borrow from the
store. Storekeeper Hull will give them
five-year credits and no more.
Diplomatic Shooting Match.
The result is that a subtle diplo-
matte shooting contest has started
between the United States and the
Reds. Our diplomats are planting
stories in our press that they will
dissolve the export-import bank
for Russia. Also that they will start
an economic blacklist of nations with
whom they do not do business.
In response the Russians have
planted yarn in Moscow that Mr..
Roosevelt promised M Litvinoff a
cash loan and that the President now
is going back on his word.
1t is all very merry, but there still
Is no cash in the till and no early like
hood of any.
The split inside the Senate Appro-
priations Committee on the President s
relief bill was worse than advertised.
Democratic members did their best
to cover it up.
First they inpited the Republi-
cans to ledue the room, so they
Uould be among friends. Then
little groups got together to dicker.
The unreconstructed rebel, Send
tor Glass, had no part in it. He
U1lked off and let the rest fight.
Glass has about all the rebellion he
can handle in fighting the New Deal
money and banking policies, and ap-
parently does not want to take on
the relief fight also.
Other members slipped around cor
ners, lodged reporters, denied they
were meeting, and generally acted as
If Sherlock Homes was after them.
The reason is that the New Deals
ace compromiser, Senator Byrnes, was
trying to work things out to avoid
a public fight on the floor. The
World Court licking is still fresh in
the minds of all The two with whom
he was having the most trouble were
McCarran of Nevada and Russell of
Georgia, although Adams of Colorado
was obstreperous enough to want to
know why twice as much money
should be tossed into unnecessary
public works to care for half as many
unemployed.
Byrnes ran around from rebel to
rebel and then to telephone to talk
to the White House. He will fix 1t.

The symptoms consist of itching
