Soon there came to the White
House on a trot no less respected
political authority than Senate Leader
Robinson. No one knows exactly
what he told the President, but every
one knows he comes from a region
where seed loans are appreciated by
a lot Of people. These people just
must have their seeds, no matter who
had said what, ETC., etc.
But Mr.. Roosevelt had already told
Congress he would not sign any extra
budgetary bills which did not carry
taxes for raising the money. What
about that?
Shre,Cd and capable, Mr.. Robin
son figured that one out fast. He
,Uorked out q compromise Whereby
he pould get his seeds and Mr..
Rooseuelt his budget. The Presi-
dent could ueto the $50.000,- ,
900 bill, and then spend whateuer
money ,Das necessary for seed loans
out OF left-oUers from the 1885
appropriations. That was done.
Epen a President cannot do ,Uhat
he Dould like to in campaign
year. & g.. ..es
The technical inner aspects Of Gen.
aHagood,s removal have the same spolit-
ical background, but developed an en-
tirely different twist.
Acertain well-known anti New Deal
promotion agency was itching to use
Hagood's reference to w. P. A. stage
money" at the time it was made. The
agency decided not to on the ground
that it would not have been effective.
It was filed away for future reference.
Major Publicity Blunder.
1t did not rest long in the file be-
fore Hagood was removed from COM
mand. That made it entirely differ
ent material from a publicity stand
point. The free speech angle alone
lifted it out of the realm of minor
misdemeanors. Every one able to
read has now heard about it.
Thus, whatever the merits of the
disciplinary action, it became a major
publicity blunder. Even New Deal
publicity men are now bemoaning 1t
as such in private. They are won-
dering who was responsible. They
probably never will find out.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been having un-
advertised political conferences dur
ing the last few weeks. Many q legis-
lator arld'prominent citizen who comes
into the executive mansion on other
business is asked to tarry for political
consultation. When these visitors
emerge they announce the prime OBJ
ject of their business, but not the
political aftermath.
A recent example was Senator
Wheeler. He had a long talk with
the Chief Executive and published re-
ports said that railroad legislation was
discussed. It was, but that was only
one-tenth Of it.
Most Of the legislators who have
been called in for these subrosa polit-
ical consultations have been West
erners.

$3O,0O0,OOO FOR SEED
President to Issue Order Soon fol
Loans to Farmers.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt said today he
will issue an executive order in the
next day or so authorizing use Of
$4,000, 900 for 1896 seed and feed
loans to farmers.
Individual loans will be limited to
5000. Mr.. Roosevelt earlier this week
vetoed a $50,000,0 900 loan bill con-
tanning $500 limit on the grounds,
among others. that the measure pro-
vided no taxes for the extra budget
outlay. He said at that time he would
make provision for the loans out of
work relief funds.

ROOSEVELT MOVE

Talks With Business Men
Seen indication Of Bid 3,
for Conservatives.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

President RooSevelt's latest over
Z ture to the business group whose sup
Z port he has alienated in the last
= three years took the form Of an in
= teresting and prolonged session at the
White House with the organization
known as "the Business Advisory
Council Of the Department of Com
merce."
They came-about % of them-to
take lunch with Mr.. Roosevelt, but
he kept them for nearly three hours
discussing governmental policies in a
manner calculated to win their
cooperation. Members of the cabi-
net were there and the discussion
was broad enough to cover number
Of current problems. It was really
the first time in three years the Bus
mess Advisory Council had had such
q satisfactory conference and the first
time any large group of business men
had been given an opportunity for a
sort of round-table discussion with
INE. ftOOSeVGlC.
Up to now the Business Advisory
Council hasn't amounted to much
more than window dressing for the
New Deal It has consisted of men
who gave their time and attention to
the drafting of reports which they
had hoped would be useful to the
administration. but great deal Of
what they recommended was quietly
ignored or pigeon-holed. The ad-
ministration made the mistake once,
moreover. of giving to the press a
portion of what the business men had
recommended and used this publicity
to counteract the idea that the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States
was truly representative Of business
thought in America.

Pleased With Reception.

that the council has before had these
spurts Of enthusiasm, but that they
evaporate because Mr.. Roosevelt does
not see fit to keep them going. His
speeches denouncing business men
and stirring up class warfare have
been taken more seriously than his
informal comments at conferences
with business leaders.
From political point of view the
luncheon conference of Thursday at
the White House was very important.
1t was an outward manifestation of
the concern the administration is be-
ginning to feel over the loss of mil
lions of conservative votes. The Bus
mess Advisory Council has heretofore
been known as the Roper Council
largely because Secretary Roper Or
ganized 1t in the first place and has
been trying to keep business men in
Line Notwithstanding the sharp at
tacks on them from the White House
artillery. The business men like Mr..
Roper. but most of them feel he
doesn't have much influence with the
President alongside Messrs. TugweI,
1ckes and Hopkins who are really the
persons who have shaped administra-
ton policies in the past.
II the new move means that Mr..
Roosevelt is really going to pay some
attention to men like Secretary Roper
and to q group Of business men even
though most of them are not really
business leaders there is significance
aplenty in the step. It may be that
the long-expected turn toward the
right will finally naaterialize if only
in time to recapture some of the con-
servatives who have been driven of
the reservation by attacks on their
integrity, their ethics, their motives
and their alleged cupidity.

Hand. Picked Group.

Then came the designations. Every
important business man on the coun-
Gil found himself besieged by indignant
business men everywhere to resign
and not permit his name to be used
as tool for New Deal strategy. Many
of the business leaders did resign.
The administration tried to camou-
f1age the occurrence by announcing
that a system of rotating member
ships had been decided upon anyhow.
Finally some new members were ap-
pointed.
So today there is hand-picked
group. Some of them are friendly to
New Deal policies. Others are sin
cerely opposed, but have too much
tact to talk about it for publication
As a matter OF fact they reason that
It's better to go along with the new
council in the hope that possibly it
can be made a useful instrumentality
for the expression Of business senti-
nent.
So far as the White House is con-
cerned, it would prefer that the busi-
ness men did no talking. In fact
except for a routine announcement
nothing was given out this time. The
list of subjects discussed, however,
was impressive. Appropriate legisla-
ton concerning the merchant marine,
problems arising out of the pay roll
tax law, reciprocal trade agreements,
and Government cooperation in the
relocation Of industries were the
most important unless the need for
the creation of a national economic
council" can be considered as of
tangible interest.
