WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Holiday week finds at Its zenith the
political truce which has prevailed in
Washington since November 3, but it
also foreshadows the possibly early end
Of that EZRA of good feeling" There
is no lack Of indications. either at the
Capitol or within the administration
orbit, that fireworks Of more or less
lurid nature are due to set in promptly
with the convening of the new Congress
and the advent Of the second Roose-
welt term. Portents Of congressional
ruction are the bitter fight over the
Democratic House leadership and the
widely divergent views prevalent In both
branches on such vital issues as relief,
neutrality, budget-balancing and power
policy. There are also distinct possibili-
ties Of storm and stress in the un-
precedentedly unwieldly Democratic ma
jorities in House and Senate alike.
Whether adminiStrationists will be able
to keep their host of followers in line
for White House programs and policies
on all occasions becomes more prob
lematical from day to day. The oppor-
tunity and temptation to form insurgent
blocs are ever present when the DOM
inant party marshals the overwhelming
strength which the Democrats now pos
sess. and especially when there are we'll
defined cleavages along moderate and
radical lines.
While Roosevelt pilots exert them
selves to keep the boat from rocking ut
the legislative end Of Pennsylvania
avenue. certain ripples begin to show
that the President himself u destined
to face conditions which before long
may call upon him to choose between
rival pressure groups within the ad-
ministrative branch. Controversy ap-
pears to be revolving primarily around
the ancient and basic question OF
whether F. D. r., now that the depres-
sion emergency Is q thing OF the past,
should steer left or right. Matters have
not yet reached the point Of an actual
showdown between the opposing schools
Of thought, but various developments
are cropping up which point to the
imminence Of q clash that Will require
stern presidential decisions. The net
result may be significant changes Of
personnel in q number Of key positions
directly or indirectly involved in the
formers and middle-of- -the-roaders.

Of perturbation over the subterranean
rumblings.
John Dickinson, latest New Deal top
ranker to take flight from the Federal
scene, may be heard Of some day as one
Of the leaders Of . movement to reor-
ganize the Democratic party on some
Of Its traditional lines. The former
Assistant Attorney General in charge Of
antitrust prosecutions was q loyal
Rooseveltian during his successive tours
Of duty in the Departments Of Com
merce and Justice since 1888. but he
never concealed his preference for
"judicious progress" rather than i'm
petuous methods, in the "extirpation Of
evils" In his book, Hold Fast the
Middle Way-An Outline OF Economic
Challenges and Alternatives" Dickinson

doubtless will be opposed by the Com
missioners.
The Juvenile Court bill was approved
In the past session Of Congress by .
subcommittee of the House District Com
mittee, which conducted hearings and
proposed certain notifications. It never
was placed on the House calendar be-
cause Of the approaching end Of the
session. 1t previously had received the
approval Of the Commissioners and a
distinguished body Of experts on Juvenile
Court practice, here and in other cities.
Its purpose is to make the local Juvenile
Court conform with established concepts
of Juvenile Court functions throughout
the country. The Commissioners should
place the bill high on their list of rec
commended measures.
The amendment to the gambling laws,
with special reference to the numbers
racket" was permitted to be smothered
in a subcommittee Of the House District
Committee despite the recommendations
for action by the police and the prose-
cutors. The Senate passed the legisla-
ton. The amendment is needed to
cope with widespread gambling game,
with its ramifications indicated by new
.gangster element in Washington. Exist
ing statutes were written long before the
numbers game was played, and the lack
Of any law drawn with the numbers
game in mind has handicapped the po-
lice and the prosecutors. The bill should
be indorsed by the Commissioners and
urged by them for early enactment.

SONGS and Signs.

Songs and Signs.
80 swiftly the weeks seem to hasten
along,
There is scarcely the space for . sigh
or q song
And Fate will seem kind II with care

With enough Of the song to outbalance
the sigh.

To turn US toward memories that We
hold dear
And then for . change we shall see,

The splendors aflame Of the Fourth Of

And so, as together We journey along,
Let's forget every sigh and remember
the song.
For, as well as glad days to the calendar
known,
It is not at all hard to make some Of

Bare-boughed trees;
With their forks and twists and anlt
From which bangles
Here and there a yellowed leaf
Held In fief

Sprung from earth.

At command;
Lest the winds, their ancient foe,
Lay them low.

The Price of Peace.

l.
Diplomacy has been called the art of
ruthless pportunism-practical politics,
whereby advantage is taken of the other
fellows vicissitudes or necessities. Such
statecraft has come to be associated with
the name of Machiavelli. 1t is not lack
ing in the elements of blackmail, but so
many countries have resorted to it that
custom has clothed the system with
quasi-respectability.
From inception of the Spanish civil
war it has been widely suspected that
Germany and Italy were not interested
in the triumph of Fascism as such, but
saw in the clash of rival political ideol-
ogies chance to fish in troubled waters.
As long as they threatened to intervene
on the insurgents behalf, the Fascist
powers had brow-beating bargaining
point with Great Britain and France,
which opposed Intervention because Of
the danger to European peace. To date
that peril has been avoided, but it sud-
denly became imminent with indications
that Germany was contemplating send
ing Franco $4,000 troops, which would
assure rebel victory and establish Ger
man military power on Spanish soil.
Realizing that such development
would require French counter measures
and probably precipitate war, France,
in spirit Of practical craftsmanship is
seeking to purchase peace from Ger
many by offering to give back those of
the Reichs war-lost African colonies
now held by France under League man
date. Chiefly concerned are Togoland
and the Cameroons, embracing 100000
square miles and raw materials Of
which the Germans stand in dire need.
In return, besides cessation of military
aid to the Spanish Fascists, Hitler
would be required I'd to agree to full
and lasting settlement" of European
political and economic problems; CD to
participate in controlled disarmament;
(3) to renounce territorial claims within
Europe, and (0 to cooperate with the
rest Of the world in a program Of eco
nomic rehabilitation.
The Nazis' longing for restoration OF
Germanys colonial empire is undis-
guised, but as their desires far outstrip
the concessions France proposes, it is
highly problematical whether Togoland
and the Cameroons will satisfy them.
Berlin covets the former German pos
sessions in Africa tenaciously held by
Great Britain. If by chance Hitler
were to accept the drastic French condi-
tions, he would testify tangibly to his
professed readiness to keep the peace.
The price he would receive for doing
30, compared to the boon 1t would confer
upon q war-fearlng Europe, would be
low.
Perhaps the drawback about coming
10 such terms with Germany is that she
might be encouraged to exploit future
pretexts like the Spanish tragedy as
opportunities for extortion OF other con-
cessions, political or territorial. Urged
by imperative economic necessities, and
In possession of an increasingly power
full war machine, the Nazis unquestion-
ably are in mood and position to con-
front Europe with imperious demands
as the price Of peace. Taking an in
telligibly realistic view Of that prospect.
France feels 1t the part Of common
sense to attempt to buy Germany OF
before 1t is too late.

Old Father Time came prowling near.

Then Father Time began to sigh
Like wintry winds that sweep the sky.
And such a face Of woe he wore
That in my weeping forebore,
And in defiance of my grief
In laughter light found relief.
And when Old Father Time observed
That I from melancholy swerved,
He quenched his tears and very soon
His face was smiling at the moon.

The administration may seek to estab-
lish some new and perhaps permanent
policy regarding relief: 1t may produce
some new formula dealing with situa-
ton that has threatened to get out Of
hand, IS evidenced by the strikes Of
w. p. A. workers and the projected
march on Washington Of the workers
now on relief rolls. This is one of the
real problems which confrontS the ad-
ministration. Not many persons believe
that the Federal Government can con-
tinue to spend money for relief on the
present scale. On the other hand, many
people believe that much Of this relief
should be turned back to the States for
them to handle.
Few elections take place next year.
Among them, however, are the choice of
mayors in some Of the great municipali-
ties, for example, New York and Chi
cago. New York City has tremendous
voting population-equal to that of the
rest of the State, which Is the most
populous Of the 48 States. What New
York City does Is always Of interest to
the rest OF the country. The present
Mayor Of New York was elected on q
Fusion ticket, with the Republican
nomination In his pocket. He was
entered in q three-cornered race, with q
Tammany candidate and q candidate
/ who was recognized as having the back
ing Of Chairman James A. Farley of the
Democratic National Committee. Mayor
La Guardia must make up his mind
whether he is to be candidate to sue

be the candidate. Of the Republican party
or whether he Is to run as progressive,
supporting President Roosevelt, or even
