REGROUP|NG
IN POLITICS
President Feels Confident
He Has PubIiC's Support
Despite Many Rows
BY EARL GOODWIN

Franklin Delano Roosevelt to-
day completes his second year as
President. He will continue in
office until January 20, 1887, the
new date of inauguration under
the terms of the Norris Lame
Duck" amendment to the Con-
gtitution, and the answer to
whether he will be reelected in
November of next year is now in
the making.
Not for many years has there
been any such spectacular politics
as that which produced and sus-
tanned the New Deal; nor that
which will reflect or defeat the
President.
For politics in every sense OF
the word is being played with all
the master strategy OF the best
players at the game on more than
two sides, because the New Deal
has split the country into many
political schools.
There are the right" or con-
servatives, and the left" or radi-
Gals; there is the Roosevelt
brand which appears to heW a
straight path just a little to the
left of the center. There is a
Share Our Wealth party under
Huey Long; there was an EPIC
under Upton Sinclair.
All this comes about largely
because of Franklin Roosevelt,
who was so pleasing to so many
people two and a half years ago
that all the people expected to be
pleased. When he did not and
could not fulfill the expectations
of everybody. new leaders and
new movements began to appear.

These measures, or such other
measures as the Congress may

But in the event that the

evade the clear course of duty
that will confront me. / shall
ask the congress for one re-

Labor First in Thought
Of President's Wife

Mrs. Roosevelt today looked
back on this day two years ago
when her husband took the oath
of office as President of the
United States congratulated him
on great many of his achieve
ments and looked for bigger and
better accomplishments in the
next two years of his presidency.
Her hope for labor was the
first Of her wishes for the next
two years. In this respect, she
said:
II think that the things I
would like best to see accom-
plished in the next two years
are complete realization of
both labor and industry or
capital of their responsibility
toward each other and the pub

lie: Of the necessity Of their
interdependence or the fact
that neither prOspers without
the other.
"On the part Of the indus
trial leaders, 1 would like to
see q willingness to realize that
labor must share to a greater
extent and receive a Hairer re-
turn for its part in the worlds
work, and that capital shall
accept the fact of a more
limited and reasonable return"
A security program to include
old-age pensions, a permanen
ban on child labor, better unem
ployment insurance, better health
care and better care for mother!
and children was also wished
for by Mrs. Roosevelt.

This Government intends

The processes we follow in seek

from one and give to another.
In this m d ern world, the
spreading out of opportunity
ought not to consist of rObbing

Must Meet Crisis

Il is more than a presidential
race; more than an AdminlStra
ton; it is a three-ring circus, a
new era in politics, and just now
this Administration faces crisis
which must be met head on.
The excitement is caused by
the tremendous efforts to conquer
the depression which had reached
the point Of almost national de-
Spair when President Roosevelt
took office March 4, 1888. 1t
looked very much as if the coun'
try would slip off the gold stand
ard to financial oblivion and pos
sible revolution in early March,
1888. But no sooner had Franklin
Roosevelt reached the w h e
House than he closed the banks,
declared a financial holiday, swore
in O Cabinet composed largely of
men-and one woman-unknoWn
to national politics.
His Cabinet was and is still a
galaxy of progressives, men who
have taken the advanced views in
politics and political science. Miss
Frances Perkins has been one of
the foremost social workers.
Harold 1ckes, a Bull Moose
Roosevelt progressive, had been
fighting special privilege, espe-
cially the insult and traction in
terests, in Chicago. He had been
a target for the reactionary Re
publicans for years. When he
was made Secretary of the In,
terror and later appointed to ad'
minister the huge public works
fund, his opponents were in a
frenzy of excitement.
But times change rapidly, and
today many of the politicians
who once declared Mr.: Ickes too
radical, today say he is too con-
sentative with the Governments
funds.
And so on down the list of ap.
pointments that President Roose
welt made. And yet that Cabi'
net has remained unchanged,
except for Secretary Morgen-
THAI, who succeeded the late
William Woodin.

This is the gist of the reports

Reversed Signals
They brought out these salient
facts:
When the Mohawk sailed from
New York her te1emotor steering
apparatus had been checked and
found to be working, and was
used successfully down the bay.
Off Seagirt the intense cold froze

This neceSsitated a change from
the telemotor steering system and
apparatus to the trick" wheel,
on which signals are in exact re-

According to the findings, First
Engineer Mack Smith was at the
steering apparatus in the steering
room and Third Mate jackson
