new bureaus, particularly the in
corporated ones, do not require
Civil Service status, and no auth
oritative census of their number
is available.
These facts indicate the reasons
back of the demands for reorgan-
ization of government bureaus.
However, there are several strong
ly opposed schools of thought on
the subject of how reorganization
should be accomplished. Under the
Presidents plan, the dominance
of the Executive over both new
and old bureaus would be increas-
ed, and some of the independent
bureaus, such as Radio Commits
sion, the ICC, and the Federal
Trade Commission, would be
brought under Presidential con-
trol. Other advocates of reor-
ganization are against this extern
sion of Executive authority, and
want a form of reorganization
that will maintain the independ-
eiiee or the Independent bureaus,
and will consolidate other bureaus
under Congressional control.

Key West Social Club, organ

for a popularity contest which
will be held in the near future,

the most popular held in some

number of those who have already
become contestants, and the pos
sibility of others joining, some OF
whom have declared their inten-
ton.

Administration spokesmen-es-
pecially the President-have oft
en- drawn an analogy between War
and Depression. Nineteen-sev-
enteen and 1888, they believe,
presented similar grave problems
that had to be promptly met with
similar remedies.
There is likewise a practical
analogy between the expansion of
the Federal government in war
time and its expansion during de-
preston. An enlightening COM
parison is published in recent is
sue of the u. S. News.
When America entered the wal
the national debt was 81, 225, 0OO,-
O00-$12 per capita. When the
war was over in 1919, the debt
had risen to $25, 4S2,000,00O-
$240 per capita.
When America experienced its
last boom year, 1929, the nation
al debt was a little less than ST.
600, 600, 00O-$l39 per capita. In
1887, witt feesseA.y - an atlvasse-
ed stage, the debt has increased
81, 500, 100000, to $37 100000
O00-S277 per capita.
Thirteen new major depart
ments were created in 1917 and
1918-of which some of the most
important were the Alien Proper
ty Custodian, scene of grave post
war scandals. the American Relief
Administration, the Railroad Ad-
ministration, the War Finance Ad-
ministration, the War Industries
Board and the Veterans Admins
tration. AS soon as the war was
over, liquidation of these bureaus
began. Today, only one, the Vet
erans' Administration, remains.
During depression, the Admin
istration created over twice as
many new major bureaus as were
created in war time. These in
elude the AAA. the CCC, the
Electric Home and Farm Author
ity, the Federal Deposits Insur-
ance Corporation. the Farm Cred
it Administration, the IVA, the
WPA, etc. And-though business
activity has recently approximate
ed boom levels in many lines
there seems 20 be no move on
foot to eliminate bureaus. To the
contrary, as the News says, "Most
depression-born agencies are re-
garded by Observers as perman-
ent. ;" Thus, where the war
bureaus were created and design.
ed to meet an emergency, and
were abolished as soon as the
emergency passed. most of the
depression-made bureaus have ap-
parently become an established
part of the government.
There has been another vita
change in the character of govern
ment bureaus. Former bureaus
such as those Of the war period
were established by Congress, and
were responsible to Congress and
the Executive branch. Many OF
the new bureaus are corporations
incorporated under the laws o.
