The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-07

That country ships us mOst of Tier coffee crop, was quite ready to negotiate a treaty.
 Negotiations progressed in a leisurely manner. Then suddenly ment's treaty division woke up. The Brazilian congress adjourn ed December 31. After that date the new treaty could not be rati- fled for five months. This was discovered only 8 few days be- fore Christmas.
 So the state department leap. ed into action. It suggested that the Brazilian congress give the Brazilian president power to rat fly the treaty after 1t adjourn ed. This leaked to the press, caused embarrassment to the state department, was denied. The denial in turn caused more confusion. Brazil declined.
 So the state department tried a new tack. Why could not the Brazilian congress remain In session a few weeks longer, rat- fly Mr HuI1's treaty, and then go home?
 Imagine the house of com mons or the chamber of depu- ties doing that! But the Brazil- ian congress is accommodating. And 1t looks as if Cordcil HuiTs ambition might be fulfilled.
 CONGRESS ROOKIE
 Ralph o. Brewster. congress rookie from Maine. says:
 There aren't many of us re- publicans in the house, but we're going to have good time watching tho show"
 Brewster will stage something of q show of his own. A keen thinker, incisive in speech, he represents the new blood in Mains rcpublicanism. Though a novice in Washington, he is no novice in politics, having served Maine as governor for four years and having lost the election to congress fin 1892 to Democratic John c. Utterback by Q margin of only "A votes.
 Two causes are vibrant In Brewster's mind:
 The need Of giving demo- cratic voters the low down OFT the nIachlnatiOns of Jim Farley.
 The need Of injecting a forth right, crnsading New Deal pole icy into the ranks of the rcpub. llcan party.

 ". L. J., St. LOuls--Not only has Governor Ross of Idaho vowed to defeat Senator Borah when he runs in 1898, but on is- sues rather than personalities Borah suffered two recent de- feats in his home state. He tried to defeat Senator Pope in 1892 and the Idaho democratic con- gressmen in 1884, but failed [. M. P. H., Columbia, MO.-rPro- lessor Tusweli has by no means lost out with the president per- sonally, although he no longer holds an ace position with many other New Dealers. His sor1e- what compromising position be- fore the senate undoubtedly hurt him with many but he is still called in on many White House conferences. J. N. II, Milwaukee = The German c m bassy is not potent influence in Washington. Probably the ablest ambassadors are the Arr genuine, French and Brazilian. Most popular minister probably is Michael MacWhite of the Irish Free State. .. L. S., Bangor, Mc.--Mrs Jack Garner still directs the clerical work of her husbands office, although she is displaying much more in- terest in society now than she did when she was a member of the house. Mrs Garner is cred- ited with being responsible for the huge official limousine that the vicc-president had purchas- ed for him last year. l.. F., Alexandria, Va. = Senator Glass comes up for reelection in 1936. He is now serving his third term. In his last two elec- tons he was practically unop- posed.
