The New Deal Must Fight
the Trojan HOrSemen
Philadelphia Record

philadelphia Record
In spite of the peoples verdict, the Liberty
League not the New Deal dominated the first session
of the 18th Congress-
! The ballots had scarcely been counted last Noyem-
Der when the Liberty Leaugers abandoned their eff
forts to wreck the New Deal by of the moribund
Republican party. BY Christmas it plain that
they trying to take over" Democratic Senators
and leaders.
The Tories worked the old Trojan horse trick
on the New Deal. Although the Administration itself
remained firm in support of its campaign promises
to the people, group of reactionary Senators and
Congressman speaking and behaving as
Iif they had been elected ALI Landon's ticket
This group made an open coalition with the Re-
publican survivors in Congress. Men who last fall
were stumping the nation for the New Deal because
they knew their own political success depended on
the New Deals popularity, allied themselves with
those who bitterest in reviling the New Deal.
That unhoy alliance has defeated-for the pres
ent-the mandate of 1886. The New Deal has been
checked not by defeat at the polls but by the be-
rayal of men elected the understanding that they
would support the President.
What's next? Are the people and the Democratic
party supposed to sit back and calmly accept the
triumph of unchecked judicial autocracy, the defeat
of the wage-hour bill, Of adequate housing legsla
ton etc?
They are not Senator Guffey charted the correct
course in his recent speech calling upon the people
and the party to defeat those Senators and Represen
tatives responsible for thwartng the popular will.
Senator Guffey was subsequently attacked with
hysterical rage by who to think their
actions not subject to popular review party
reputation.
Cuffeys demand that the party GUST these turn
coats important than the issues involved.
In representative democracy it is vital to establish
preserve above all else legislative responsiveness
to popular opinion And to do that there must first
be found men who will keep their pledges and their
lpartys pledges to the people
The Republican party is wreck today, precisely
because its elected representatives voted way
while the partly pledges talked the other way. The
people found that the COP could not be depended
upon to do what it promised
AS Senator Guffey clearly, the Democratic
party only survive if its hands free to give
the nation the legislation its people want and need
And it cannot be free to do that without shaking Oft
the who trying to strangle the party.
If President Roosevelt will go to the people now,
state his program and detectives in series of radio
talks and call Congress into special session next fall
the Tory Congressman will be more the spot than
ever. They will find out that they cannot give the
Liberty Leaguers legislative service and give the New
Deal lip service.
This fight is just starting.
The New Deal will continue and it will defeat its
foes among the Democratic Congressman just as it
defeated similar foes in the Republican ranks

the peeresses, whose heads were
topped by coronets and diamond
tiaras.
Brilliant Gowns
The women's gowns of pale blue,
white, gold, mauve, pink, silver
and turquoise, all encruSted with
jewels, We'd with the vivid cere-
monial costumes of the men, eS-
pecially the Indian princes in their
orange, purple or gold turbans,
their white satin chests ablaze
with diamonds.
The Emir Of Nagracoota and
Nigeria wore a maroon and gold
robe and a two-foot golden crown
surmounted by an emerald ele-
plant.
I glimpsed three little black
men from Africa with only silver
loin cloths around their middles
and red Sashes across their naked
chests with square red hats like
biscuit boxes on their curly heads.
Some peeresseS had pageboyS
carrying their trains as they
walked up the nave with their
husbands.
Before the ceremony started,
the ladies twisted and fidgeted,
lingering their ropes Of pearls,
waving their fans and cycling the
galleries through their lorgnettes.
Many held their coronetS upside
down in their laps and in many
instances neat packages Of sand
wiches and tidbitS were stuffed
inside.
Gossip and Restlessness
Some ladies became restless as
the time passed and left their
coronets on the floor to walk
about. Others gossiped in polite
whispers behind their hand and
a few peered through opera
glasses, but all quieted down and
scurried to their seats as the
ceremony commenced.
One peereSS found herself in
the wrong row and had to climb
over a chair to gain her rightful
place and nearby observers caught
a hint of slender silk-clad legs.
The audience rose in unison
as, a few seconds after II O'Clock,
the first royalties entered.
The first to appear was the
princess royal, with Princess Eliz-
abeth on her right and Margaret
Rose on her left. The two little
princesSes, in magnificent gowns
with short trains Of purple and
gold, walked with great dignity.
Margaret was more than ordi-

narily careful to keep step with
her aunt. The Duchess of
Gloucester and Kent and other
princesses Of the royal blood fol
lowed.
A burst of soft, sweet music
from organ and trumpets heralded
arrival Of the royal princess and
again the ancient abbey seemed
like a stage in which actors not
quite mortal walked through roles
written by destiny.
Princess Elizabeth, who may
some day walk the same path as
her mother, the Queen, carried her
self with grace and confidence,
managing her train expertly, while
little Princess Margaret Rose was
restless and sat wide-eyed, peering
behind her frequently, tugging at
the arm of the princess royal and
whispering.
Princess Elizabeth appeared car
ried away when the music began
and beat time with her Silver-shod
foot. Everyone smiled at the little
princesses and they responded
graciously.
Elizabeth sat quietly with her
hands folded in her lap when her
grandmother was looking at her,
but when Queen Mother Mary's
back was turned, once, Elizabeth
pinched Margaret Rose.
The latter looked tiny and dainty
as she swung her feet to and fro
and rested her chin on the box in
front of her so that only her face
showed above it.
King George played his part seri-
ously and didn't look a bit at ease.
After the recognition ceremony he
returned to the chair of state and
studied his lines" in the book
of form.
He seemed nervous, like the hero
Of a high school play who stands
in the wings reading his script
until it is time to go on the stage.

costumes, General Pershing'S
gorgeous uniform and Gerard's
black knee breeches-made in
London.
The first death Of the corona
ton resulted from a bottle fight
near Piccadilly Circus. A group
Of men disputed possession Of side
walk positions and attempted to
settle the argument with beer
bottles. One died in hospital
and two others were seriously
injured.
Near riots occurred at several
other points along the procession
route when stockholders found
their places had been sold many
times over by INSCRIPTIONS agents.
Before the coronation service
at the Abbey began, number
of peers, decked out in all the
spIendOr Of their robes, stepped
out into the sanded streets to
relax and puff at their pipes.
First-aid workers were kept busy
along the procession line as scores
tainted in the crush. At some
points people lined the route 20
deep.
The King and Queen arose
shortly before Z a. m. Princess
Elizabeth and Princess Margaret
Rose were awakened half an hour
later. Immediately a stream Of
dresSmakers and assistants en-
tered the palace to help prepare
their majeSties for the coronation
The first sign Of activity at
Buckingham Palace came at 6
O. m. At that hour the blinds were
drawn and people inside could be
seen peeping through the lace
curtains to survey the scene.
The first cheer Of the day
came when a Highland band,

with kits staggering, marched
down Constitution Hill to take
their position in front Of Buck
ingham Palace.
Two babies were born shortly
after midnight in Croydon Hos
pital, a boy and a girl. They will
be named George and Elizabeth
in honor Of the King and Queen.
Last night a tour Of the pro
cession route brought to light
almost incredible scenes of
gaiety, belying the alleged phleg-
matism of BritonS. In the fog at
Piccadilly women were singing
and dancing in the street while
thousands of others slept on the
curbstones, rolled up in blankets.
