other bills for the next Congress to
worry about.
Speaking of the farm credit legis-
lation reminds the writer of the eff
fort that is being made to bring some
assistance to agricultural areas in
the way of loans and credit arrange
ments that will permit seeding, partic-
ularly where crop conditions are pro-
pitfous and the previous seasons have
made it almost impossible for farmers
without current resources or reserves
to qualify for present credit facilities.
The government, unhappily, moves
slowly, and seeding time is at the
very minute upon the distressed farm
ers. With soil and moisture and
weather conditions better than they
have been in some time, a tragic
condition is sought to be remedied,
but at this writing the eventual out
come is not too promising. For some
reason, the administration has de-
cided that this year is the year to
discourage the procedure that has
been practiced for the several years
last past, and it seems impossible to
convince those in authority that some
portions of the country face an emer-
gency this spring that is Just as des-
perate as any that have been faced
in former years.
And, stepping aside from the
strictly legislative and official pic
ture for moment, readers might be
interested in the fact that govern
mental Washington was appreciably
influenced during the week by the
colorful spectacle of the annual con-
vention of Congress" of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
Usually the scene of almost jingoistic
patriotic and Super-patriotfc speeches
and demonstrations, the danes this
year outdid themselves in hurting
invectives and abusive language
against everyone in Congress and in
official life who dared to disagree
with what their officers and their
resolutions committee thought to be
wrong. For some reason they adopted
an especially spiteful attitude toward
the NyeKvale bill that endeavors to
set up system of voluntary military
training in colleges instead of con-
tinuing the compulsory method of
military schooling. The bill, it is
hoped, will have hearings in the SEN
ate very shortly, where facts and
competent witnesses will be presented
instead of the Incorporate abuse that
characterized the OAR judgment of
the bill.
And added fireworks will undoubt-
eddy come next week when the United
States Chamber of Commerce gathers
for it's annual meeting. Critical of
the New Deal, bitter against imposi-
ton of any added taxes, resentful of
the Black committees Seizure of
wires that some of their members
had attempted to hide or destroy,
angry over the efforts to regulate
their activities in speculative as we'll
as in business fields, they are sure
to sound off in a style that will de-
light the opponents of the present
administration. Whether official
notice of the attacks will be taken,
or whether it will be postponed until
the heat of the approaching cam
paign, remains to be seen.

Liberal Viewpoint
: BY HARRY ELMER BARNES

TN an editorial in Life Frank Kent the well-known
Journalist contended that the average voter will
have to be extremely gulble in order to vote for
Mr.. Roosevelt Indeed, he heads the editorial with
the title "The Great Gullibility Test"
The flavor of Mr. Kent's editorial will be evident
from the following passages:
Not in our times has the open-rnouthed and
minded voter been invited to swallow quite as
large and rancid a dose as is being dished up
For example, he will be asked to put his faith all
over again in man who President, has broken
faith with him in more ways than he can count on
the fingers of his hand.
He Is supposed to accept explanation that
an emergency existed in disregard of the irrefutabe
fact that The emergency acutely existed when the
promises were made He will be promised again
that the cost and size Of government will be reduced
by the same man who has increased and expanded
both to an undreamed of extent"
There is in this, of course little except the stale
baloney which Al Smith handed out at his Liberty
League dinner when he tried to emphasize the great
gulf between the Democratic platform of 1882 and
the policies of the New Deal
No critic OF Mr.. Roosevelt has been able to demon
strate that he shifted further from campaign prom
ises than underlying conditions had shifted between
the summer of 1882 and the spring of 1893.

Washington Merry-Go-Round
by DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

VXTASHINGTON, May 4.-The
Wv directors of the United
States Chamber of Commerce
pulled a fast one last week on
Uncle Dan" Roper.
The Secretary of Commerce,
after some energetic wire pulling,
finally wangled an invitation to
address the convention despite the
original plan of the directors not
to invite a New Deal spokesman.
Roper devoted much time and
labor to his speech. AS finally
drafted, his big feature was a 10
point program by means of which
business men could aid in solving
the unemployment problem. The
formula was to be Roper's answer
to the Chambers challenge that
the Administration tell industry
how it could re-employ more men.
No. l plank in Roper's program
was a proposal that business men
themselves make q thorough
survey of industry for the purpose
of exploring the possibilities of
adding men to pay rolls. Such a
study, Roper's manuscript de-
clared, would be great deal more
valuable than mere head
count" of the unemployed by the
government-as demanded by
business.
Roper planned to spring this
proposal as a surprise. But he
made one serious slip.
Several days before he was to
make his speech, he sent an adj
vance copy to the Chamber big
wigs. When they spotted his pro-
posal they got excited. They did
not relish being put on the spot
where they either would have to
follow his advice or be charged
with turning down a reasonable
suggestion for the solution Of the
unemployment problem.
To get out of this dilemma, the
Chamber master minds decided to
jump the gun on Uncle Dan"
The night before he made his
speech, the directors, with great
fanfare of ballyhoo, announced
that the Chamber would launch
a nationwide survey of re-em-
ployment. This was precisely the
proposal Roper planned for the
next day.
NOTE -Altho ug h privately
deeply CHI ag rim d by this
maneuver, Roper took the thump-
ing in silence. He stuck to the
original text of his speech and
put forth his proposal just as if
the Chamber never had heard Of
it before.
THE dignity surrounding q
Il Senate seat does not prevent
Mrs. Huey Long from sending
wifely advice to the women OF
Louisiana.
Recently she received COM
plant from a Negro woman, Mrs.
Jennie Manueal of New Orleans,
stating that her husband was re-
ceiving only half pay on a WPA
project.
Mrs. Long investigated, found
that Manual was receiving his
pay in full. Then her wifely In
stincts came into play.
She wrote 9 letter to Jennie,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-05-04

saying: ''The records show that
from Nov. 81, 1885, until March

10 checks, each for the full
amount to which he was entitled.
What you had better do is
check up and see how your hus-
band is spending the money he
does get from the government"
TINE night before the final
l. reading of the tax bill in the
House, the Republicans held a
secret caucus. Afterwards Re-
publican Floor Leader Bertrand
Smell told newspaper men:
Boys, we decided on a united
opposition against this Ubiquitous
bill. There will be plenty of fire.
works tomorrow"
But when the last reading of
the tax measure began next day,
there were only 10 Republicans in
their seats. The fighting united
opposition" promised by the mill
tant Mr.. Smell simmered down to
the meaningless gesture of a mo-
ton to recommit the bill to COM
mittee. Even on this no attempt
was made to stage a battle.
Real lowdown on the Republic
an caucus was this:
Little time was devoted to the
tax bill. Most of it was spent

Robert L. Bacon of New York re-
peat what Harry Hopkins had

Not the kansas Coolidge"

1T is true that ALT has done some feeble and fur
tive futtering against the bars. but this has all
been off the record 1t is less than accurate to call
Landon the kansas Coolidge" Cal had only one
official spokesman while ALT has and offers in
stead an army of interpreters all operating without
badge or license. You can hear anything you want
about Landon by listening to the confidential re-
ports of his friends.
But it was man actually and beyond question
close to the Republican asprant who talked freely
and off the record about the relationship between
the publisher and the politician "Of course, Landon
Is embarrassed by Hearst's support" he said. "It
worries him lot but what can anybody expect him
to do? Certainly he can't order people not to sup
port him. His first job is to get nominated and his
second job is to be elected Until that work is done
he isn't going to thlow votes away"
1t sounds IT, me like dangerous doctrine. To
my mind Mr. Hearst does not figure in this campaign
as a personality. He just happens to be the majo.
issue. In all fairness to the publisher he is the cy
man in the Republican party who has been utterly
frank in his anti-labor attitude and for that matter
in this entire conservative platform.
Possibly 1t Is little inaccurate to describe Hearst
as being "in the Republican party" The other way
around might express it much better. After ALL there
was no Republican candidate until Hearst dug one
up anc hardly a party until he took it over. I
would not call Chairman Fletcher and little group
of mournful men party.
