He mas @ chance UO become American observer at Geneva, possibly with the rank of ambas- sador. He may spurn this, how- ever, and return to his old profess sorial chair at Columbia. Tn any event, he is determined to get out.
 And with Tugwell's passing, passes a unique and in many ways most tragic experiment of the New Deal-the Brain Trust.
 When the history of the Roosevelt Administration is written, the Brain Trust prob- ably will be given more credit than discredit for the achieve ments of the New Deal. Some of the most important Roose- welt policies, some of his most important campaign speeches, were the creation of the Brain Trust.
 But it had two great and glar- ing defects---in personal equii- brium under the spotlight of pub- lie office and in practical eXecu- tive ability to carry out ideas.
 PROFESSOR MOLEY fell victim to the first. He could not stand the spotlight. Tugwell fell a victim to the second. He is anything but an executive. Had the Brain Trust been content to remain in the cloistered back ground, its members would still be powerful to-day.
 Only one man out of the origin al group-Charles Taussig-fol- lowed this course. Behind the scenes he is still quietly func- tioning.
 Friend of Roosevelt
 Few men in the Administration are closer to the President than Rex Tugwell. He still is. Tugwell's departure is self-elimination. He feels that he has become a liability rather than an asset. And he is right.
 THE TRAGEDY-from Tug wells viewpoint--is that he be- came a liability fighting fervent- ly for the New Deal cause. He was carrying out orders. His chief trouble was in getting himself too far out in front.
 FIRST TACTICAL ERROR was when he authored the Pure Food and Drug Act. He wrote the bill at the Presidents direct command. The President wanted @ revolutionary bill, and Tugwell gave 1t to him.
 His reward was a storm of cri-' ticism such as few officials have ever received and still remained in office.
 Tugwell did not consider this an error. Friends who remon- strated that he was making hin- self @ target got this reply:
 "WeII, somebody's got to be the fall guy. That's what some of us are here for. The Skip- per can't come out and sponsor this bill publicly. He can't af- ford to be defeated. But I can."
 The Pure Food and Drug fight, together with his liberal writ ings, branded Tugwell the lead- ing radical of the New Deal. He became the easiest target for the onnosition to fire at-and they kept firing.
 ResettIement Birth
 For 6 time the firing was so heavy that the President sent Rex to Europe during the 1884 Congressional campaign, to get him out of the public eye.
 But Rex came back immedi- ateIy after elections with a new idea which was to put him back in . more dazzling spot light than ever. In Italy he
 had seen Mussolini's resettle- ment projects. In Germany he had inspected the work colonies of Hitler.
 So he went to Warm Springs last November to sell Roosevelt the idea of Rural Resettlement in the United States. The cotton share-croppers of the South, he emphasized, must gradually be transferred Go other crops or inc duBtries. Also the wheat faEm-

The traditional Harvard accent was conspicuous by its absence. Instead of the mellifluent speech supposed to be typical of those who imbibe learning under the shadow of the Sacred Cod the audience listened to a mixture of South Boston, South Framing ham and South Station. How ever cultured CD enunciation was not altogether missing. The wranglers from Yale not only won the debate but they stole the Harvard accent, with broad A. and silent R. to boot. It was slightly confusing to hear from the New Haven corner the post- master-general of the United States called "Fawley" without any handle to his name at all.

 sil in the excitement of the con- test. His services were not rec uuired for there was no excite- ment and practically no heat at all. Over in England, I believe. participants in an affair of this sort are known as wranglers al- though the affair itself is desig- mated as Q debate. Wednesday nights discussion might be de- scribed as Q wrangle between de- baters.
 The Question
 The question was Resolved, that Franklin D. Roosevelt de- serves the confidence of the American people," The judges decision was not based upon the merits of the case but upon the presentation by the respective sides. I don't know how the points were scored but if pro- nunciation, enunciation. and de- livery were taken into consid- eration the sons of John Harvard never had a chance. They went in heavily for "dooty", "oppor- tunity" and similar atrocities; their delivery had all the stin- ulative effect of a cup of cold tea. and only once did they convey the slightest impression of con- viction.

Bad Manners

Bad Manners
 Allowance must be made, I pre- sume, for the irreverence with which the undergraduate mind treats everything but itself. We are accustomed to the latitude of utterance which academic freedom considers its inalienable right. But there are limits set by the common conception of good manners. To hear the President of the United States described as "this man Roosevelt" by a. self-assured sophomore is as un- pleasant as the description is ill- bred. Political bigots may delight in hearing the chief executive of the nation being called Q crook without actual use of the word by an even more self assured senior. It indicates the possess sion of a viewpoint more becoii- ing a pothouse squabbler than a potential graduate of Yale who should have learned that the sin of bearing false witness is in- cluded in the social as well as in the moral decalogue. Equally uii- savory was the insinuation by an otherwise agreeable speaker, on the negative side that member
 of the Presidents cabinet, Paw ley", was little better than Q postage stamp pilferer. The utter ances mentioned might be ignored because the wranglers were young and perhaps did not realize how offensive may be characteriza- tions drawn from the Republican national campaign handbook, which has already nicknamed the President, Frankly Destructive Roosevelt" There can be no ex- cuse however. for the failure on

Far Afeld

The young Xale Wrangler who based his speech on the flat dec- laration that the social, econom- ical, and political philosophy of President Roosevelt is wrong, was merely repeating the assertions of Mir. Roosevelt's opponents. Just as the king could do no wrong so in the eyes of more than colle- giate debaters the President can do no good. Just how far this conviction is susceptible of elab- oration can only be discovered by reading the comments of Wash- ington newspaper correspondents to whom a Democratic national administration is a work of the devil and a Democratic occupant of the White House 8 son of Satan. Not only are all the Roose- welt acts and actions evil in themselves but they are the cause of atrocities with which they have no apparent relation. The Democratic administration flas been accused of reviving monop- olies and is held responsible for the toleration which the Ameri-N can mind is now entertaining the idea of monopoly. The re- sponsibility for this alleged re- vival and this renewed entertain ment Mark Sullivan, the New York Herald Tribune's political observer, packs on MT. Roosevelt's back. Its effects are already be- ing felt in the most unsuspected fields. Last Monday MT. Sullivan found out that in Algona, Kos- suth County, Iowa, the council had fixed the prices in barber shops. As the result of this as- sumption of arrogant power for which the Roosevelt administra- ton is to blame because "One feels sure that this action by the city of Algona is in part an infec- ton from approval of A.A.A. in the farm territory near by, the price of a facial steam" has been fixed at two bits and a neck clip or shave at fifteen cents. Just what Q facial steam has to do with monopolies I do not know, and what connection there is be- tween the A.A.A. and shaving the neck is a mystery to me. It is bad enough for President Roose- welt to try the MIRA. on the country but when he interferes with the back of a mans neck 1t is time the Republican party did something about 1t. It will be their only issue in 1886.

 Happier Features
 It should not be inferred that the evening was profitless. There were some happier features in it. It is a pleasure to record the fact that the audience was of goodly size, that is listened with the ut- most attention, and that it was largely made up of young people. That they listened to pitifully weak arguments on both sides of the question is to be regretted, but they did listen and I have no doubt sensed the weaknesses as quickly, if not more quickly than their elders. One section of the audience evidenced that it relished the goring personal att tacks on President Roosevelt, however bored it might have been with the too much mathematical juggling both sides performed. The Yale wranglers invariably opened their side with . good humored "wise crack" which had a point and which created a friendly reception for what they had to say. The youths from Cambridge as might be expected, ignored both wit and humor and suffered accordingly.
 Touched
 Their speaker in rebuttal, how- ever, sounded the one and only note in the entire discussion which brought that spontaneous outburst of responsiveness which shows that a speaker has really reached the heart of his listeners. Abandoning the dull considera- tion of economic, financial, and industrial figures he swept into a plea for confidence in the Presi- dents policy and program on humanitarian grounds. Taking the impregnable position that dol- lars meant nothing when lives are at issue he spoke with fire and feeling and effectiveness. It came too late in the evening to win the decision for the affirma- tive side but 1t proved to this commentator anew the fact that whatever arguments MT. Roose- velt's opponents may advance in the next presidential campaign they will be futile compared to his accomplishments where the people as whole are concerned. Industrialists and financiers may wiring their hands and clamor Wool" It is the man on the bot tom of the heap, not at the top of it whose problem is the most to the nation at large So long as that problem remains unsolved and so long as the bulk of the population remains at the bottom just so long President Roosevelt's appeal will continue. It may be that he has lost some of the popularity of the first months of his administration but if 1t has been lost the disappear ance has taken place only among those who regarded him from motives of expediency.
