Pressure - The New Deal IN our
colonial possessions has received only
scant publicity. But the experiments
in Alaska. Porto Rico and the Vir-
gin Islands conducted BY Colonial
Secretary Ernest Gruening Guido
some OF those on the mainland.
In Porto Rico the Washington
administrators have set out to break
up the vast sugar plantations con-
trolled by New York banking inter-
ests charged with exploiting the ma
tiveS. Whereas American groups
now control single units or 1900
acres, these will be cut down TO 500
acres II the New Dealers win a court
suit they have recently brought. The
native coffee growers will also pay
much less for hurricane insurance
in the coffee fields II a bill before
congress passes at the next session.
Under private insurance they can't
make a profit.
Even European interests feel the
han OF the New Deal in the Virgin
Islands. There Mr.. Gruening has
installed a rum factory TO handle the
cane sugar output. He raised wages
from IS and 40 cents a day TO 81 and
90 cents. Private Danish interests
protested that they could not match
the raise IN their rum plant and Mr..
Gruening listened sympathetiN w.
Then he learned that the principal
protestant drew down a bonus OF
$50 900 in one year. So he lacked up
the wages a little higher. and now the
Danish concern Is on the brink OF
bankruptcy.
L0wdown - Not all the lobbyists
take their stance on Capitol Hill.
The citadel which they are trying
to storm now Is the committee on

secrecy. After the United States and
foreign countries have presented
public evidence bearing on mutual
tariff reductions. the committee goes
into a huddle-and drafts a report on
what w should give and what the
other nation should concede. Its OBJ
erations are conducted 80 secretly
that the names of its members are
not made public even to the press.
Nobody net even omniscient lob
byists - knows the identity OF these
negotiators.
But the special pleaders for af-
fected industries never give I'D. They
line the corridors or the state, COM
merce and agriculture departments
when the committee sits. II has
got so bad that Secretary Hull has
assigned a nan to act as a buffer
between them and the departmental
committee. His name Is George Ful-
Ter - but even he doesn't know who
serves on this ~secretive. all-import-
