| Mr.. O'Connor has written q lively
letter to this column, objecting to the
unflattering political portrait drawn Of
his availability for the speakership.
There was no desire to impute any
personal disrepute or political impro.
priety TO Mr.. O'Connor and II the
facts have been wrongly represented
he Is entitled to an apology. But the
same objections listed to his avail
ability for the speakership persist
among the New Dealers. Vice Presi-
dent Garner has come out for Ray
burn. Those close to the President
believe that Rayburn would be better
than O'Connor, whose record on utili-
ties they don't like. They know that
the majority leader In the next Con-
gress will perform many Of the more
active duties Of the Speaker and may
be called upon to replace him at an
early date.

BY JAY FRANKLIN.

TRANKLlN DELANo RoOsE.
H WELT proposes to 'mutualise'
the Monroe Doctrine. That Il
the big idea behind his mission
to Buenos Aires. To do this means
that every one Of the 81 American Re.
publics will consider as 'an unfriendly
act" any aggression on this hemi.
sphere by any European or Asiatie
powers. Such an understanding also
implies prior consultation between the
governments of the American Repub-
lies whenever q breach Of the doctrine
appears. II Roosevelt's move goei
across, 1t will be the most important
political development in the Americas
since we dug the Panama Canal.
Roosevelt is q realist and knows that
more than q pleasant speech is need
ed to create q diplomatic revolution.
Therefore, unusual interest attaches
to the well-timed announcement at
Washington that Roosevelt has au-
thorized the construction Of two big
battleships. This move must be taken
alongside Of his statement at Buenos
Aires: II have done all In my power
to sustain the consistent efforts Of my
Secretary of State in negotiating
agreements for reciprocal trade . .
These policies in recent weeks have
received the approval Of the people Of
the United States, and have, I am
sure, the sympathy Of the other na.
tions here assembled"
Taken together, these two things are
q blunt reminder that the American
Navy for defense of the Western Hem
isphere and the American market FOR
continental self are what
the United States can throw into the
pan-American pot. Under the Mon-
roe Doctrine, the other American Re-
publics can depend on our Navy for
external defense but cannot be sure
that some future administration a.
washington will not use 1t against
their liberties, unless 1t Is mutual
lied" And unless We arrange our
tariffs so as to admit their raw ma
terials there Is no sense in expecting
,.
Roosevelt Is playing the pam
American game with blue chips.
Some days ago this column out
lined the struggle for the speakership
now raging between Sam Rayburn of
Texas and John ]. OConnor Of New
York. The discussion-like the fight
took little account Of the fact that
the Rayburn- o 'Connor feud is being
kept under matches by the fact that
Speaker william B. Bankhead of
Alabama, who replaced the late Mr..
Byrns at the gavel, is avowedly a
candidate to succeed himself. Both
Rayburn and OConnor respect Bank
heads candidacy and are concentrat-
ing their fire on the post Of majority
leader. now held temporarily by
O'Connor.
But Speaker Bankhead Is in poor

vailing diplomatic obfuscation, and the
world always knows what he means.
I have heard expressed today the sug-
gestion that Herr Schacht timed his
remarks for the critical moment in
England's King trouble. This view is
not held by informed persons. A
friend who has studied Germany
closely. and who has interviewed Herr
Schacht, tells me that his statement
may be attributed TO the present crisis
in German finance and economics and
to nothing else.

Schacht. Mr.. Buell. has been III Europe,
sitting in with the financial poohbahs
on world finance.
"Schacht is world genius in money
and finance" said Mr.. Buell.. His ex-
pedients in saving their economy from
complete collapse have been nothing
short Of amazing"
Outside of finance, his absorbing life
interests are raising pigs and writing
red-blooded impromptu verse about

than let 1t drift. He mixes his meta

him for q few minutes at Lausanne,

with his frowning Teutonic face
perched on his skyscraper collar like

His severely brushed hair, parted in
