News Behind the News
Explosion of the COrcOrdn Cohen
Myth Just TUO More Errand
BOus Roosevelt GiUes the Orders >.

WASHNGTON-One result of the jefferson
Island pow-wow between the President and DEM
ocratc members of Congress is likely to be an
explosion of the Corcoran-Cohen myth.
The myth is ehanted along two themes
THAT Roosevelt is nice, easy going, we'll
meaning gent, but is completely bamboozed and
pushed around by Tom Corcoran and Ben Cohen
who tell him what he ought to do and what Con-
greSs ought to do. And that Tom and Ben are
radicals of dangerous ype.
2-That Corcoran and Cohen write all the New
Deal legislation, sell it to Roosevelt and then
go high pressuring around Capitol Hill to get
it passed
All of which is just as silly it sounds. 1t
ought to be fairly plain TO everyone, no matter
how thorough is ones dislike of the President
and his policies, that he is nobodys fool. Cor
coran and Cohen take their orders from Roose-
velt and carry them out with large measures of
ability and devotion
Assistant Attorney General Robert H. Jack
son. another relatively young man, has joined
up with the Corcoran-Cohen duet, to make it
practically trio Jackson is acknowledged to
be the administrations star trial lawyer and
legal orator. Cohen is known its most skill
full legal craftsman. Corcoran Is a brilliant,
all-around handy man who keeps the troops
popped up, writes speeches, serves as White
House liaison with sympathetic members
OF Congress, does an amazing number of odd
and frequently important-jobs for Roosevelt.
He is an unofficial presidential secretary and,
like Cohen, customarily begins his working day
at and concludes 1t around midnight or
thereafter.
Corcoran, Cohen and Jackson occupy their
present positions in his encourage because, after
a long shakedoWn process, they turned out to
be the most effective and efficient persons whom
Roosevelt had used in their respective fields.
Corcoran and Cohen have had very large
hand in certain New Deal legislation, notably
the securities, stock market and holding company
legislation. They had nothing TO do with the
drafting of the Supreme Court bill or the prep
aration of Roosevelts message to Congress
companying it.
Critics of the new wage-hour bill call it the
Corcoran- Cohen bill because among those who
helped prepare it were Corcoran, Cohen, John
Winant, Jackson and Hugo Black, the late Bill
Connery, Frances Perkins Sidney Hilman, John
Lewis, Bill Green, Ernest Draper, congressional
leadership and most other interested parties
with the exception of the National Association
of manufacturers, Gen. Hugh johnson and Don
Richberg.
Cohen wrote most of the legal phraseology
along the lines of the New York Minimum Wage
act-Whch he himself drafted-and he rest of
those mentioned decided what the bills proyi-
sions should be.

Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-28

If the literary signposts are worth
anything, we seem to be moving IN
the direction of sane and helpful
reappraiSal of our national past.
For a number of years our novel
lists hardly seemed to know that we
had a past. When they did know
it, they seemed TO look ON it as a
dreary and confining period from
which, by grace of the passage of
time, we had luckily managed to
make an escape. In the 1920's es-
pecially, the big idea of the novel
was to present "Slice OF life" and
the life that was thus sliced had
to be contemporary.

But things are different now. The
two most fabulous fiction successes
of recent years have been Anthony
Adverse" and Gone With the
Wind" which go back to themes our
noveliSts had been ignoring almost
unanimously. SandWiched in be-
tween these fantastic best-sellerS
have been less spectacular books
dealing with the past-novels of
the Civil War, of the Revolution,
of the clipper ship era, of the win
ming of the west, of the reconstruc-
ton period and of heaven alone
knows what else.
Now the point is that very few
of these books have been written
uncritically. Most of them have
sought to show either that some
tabled and glamorous era was really
less romantic than distance makes
it seem, or that in the process of
coming of age we have somehow
put aside ways of living that were
of genuine value. They have called
our attention to our past, both in
order to point out its faults and to
remind us that change is not neces-
sarily change for the better
1t is a good thing that this has
happened; for the simple truth of
the matter is that as a nation We
have grown up little too rapidly.
Social developments that took CEN
turies in other lands have occupied
decades in America. Our history
has been telescoped. We are like u
man who stepped from childhood
to manhood in a month.

DANGER WHEN ONE MAN
GETS TOO MUCH POWER

The present crisis in Europe = and
sometimes it seems that Europe has had
a continuous crisis for the last two
years-may be traced directly to the III
stitution of dictatorship. There is dan
ger of war in Europe today largely be-
cause strong individuals took advantage
of momentary popularity in their own
countries to entrench themselves in die
tatorial positions
1t is the history of individual power
that every gain increases the ambition
for more power. Benito Mussolini in
Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany, as
we'll as Russia's Stain, hold their posi-
tions solely because they are forever
grasping at more power. They want it
even if they have to throw the world into
turmoil to get it.
1t is unfortunate that those men who
are chosen for public acclaim in the be-
ginning cannot continue to merit it by
actions which are, in fact, for the good
of the public

THE NEW FREE PORT
AT MEXICALI

President Lazaro Cardenas of Mexico
has declared practically all of the north
ern district of Baja California a free
port. The decree means that there will
be no duty charged on merchandise
sent into the district, and none charged
by Mexico on goods brought out across
the international line. From the view
point of business man on this side of
the line, this is carrying the good neigh
Dor" policy entirely too far.
Residents of Mexicali, it is true. will
be benefited by the action. and it is
their interests the Mexican president is
thinking of. He cannot be blamed for
the action. On the other hand there is
far more serious menace to business
on this side of the line than mere loss
of trade from Mexicah 1t is loss Of
trade to MeXicali.
The capital city of Baja California,
with low labor costs and less taxation
than we free citizens of the United States
have, can sell the goods the United
States produces at less than the mer-
chants on this side of the line sell for.
Only loyalty of residents on this side of
the boundary stands between their COM
munities and loss of trade which might
have serious results in the business out
look of Imperial Valley.
Let us look at it from the angle of
Calexico merchant. He buys a piece of
goods at wholesale Into the price he
must get for it at retail go the price he
pays for labor, the sales tax, the proper
ty tax, rent, lights, a hundred other
kind of taxes and thousand other de-
tails. His only protection against low
prices across the border is in the nature
of customs duties.
The MeXicali merchant pays less
rent for his store, he pays far lower
wages to his clerks, his taxes are not
nearly so high as they are in this coun-
try.
Naturally, the Mexicali merchant can
sell for less than the Calexico merchant
Now, look at this side of the picture.
The CaleXico merchant pays a large
part of the taxes which keeps his COM
munity going. He takes part in the So
cial and civic life of the community.
Without him, the community would be
nothing but crossroads.
The Mexicali merchant means moth
ing to the community of Calexico. His
allegiance is to another community and
another government.
Surely it is the duty of every resident
on this side of the line, ignoring the free
port, to "trade at home"
