Garner Manipulates Bill

Vice President John Nance Gar

all the formalities had been COM
piled with - preventing President
Roosevelt from getting it in reason
able time for veto, was one OF the
most interesting, if unnoticed, de-
velopments of the closing Of the SEES

Garner held that bill until late
Saturday fternoon-virtually Satur-
day night-before sending it to the
White House, although If he had
been in real hurry to get it there
it could have been delivered Friday
evening.
The point of course is why Gar
ner did it. 1t must be remembered
that the President had sharply re-
buked Senator Pat Harrison, chair
man of the senate finance commit
tee, for his proposed compromise. ;"
The President had publicly de-
nounced the lobby of the refners in
mainland America as one of the
.'most pernicious" in history. When
the final compromise was put
through, in form totally unsatisfac-
tory to the President. it merelyspro-

three-year period during which the
quota system should prevail.
Questioned on the floor as to why
this had not been made full year,
Senator Harrison frankly admitted
that it was because he intended TO
induce congress, if possible, to ex-
tend these provisions in that first
two months of the third year. In
short, as Senator Harrison and his
friends viewed the situation. 1t was
not a compromise at all, but the
winning of all they contended for the
first rs months of the laws life,
with a chance to win everything
also for even the remaining 10
months.
Vice President Garner doesn't
talk very much, but he knew what
the President had been saying and
how the President felt. Also he
knew the temper of congress during
those last few days. And he knew
the extreme probability was that. II
the President should receive that
bill on Friday night he would veto
it. In that event, Mr.. Garner fig
ured, there was little doubt as to
what would happen-congress would
rush the bill through over the Presi-
dents veto.
This would have been another set
back for the Presidents prestige. 1t
is the kind of thing that good
party man does not like. Garner
is above everything else a good
party man. Whether he sympathizes
with the Presidents ideas or not has
nothing to do with the case, in most
instances. The paramount motive
with Garner always is that the Dem
ocratic party must be supreme
must continue to present as solid
a front as possible to the foe.
So smart Cactus Jack" decided
to give the President a breathing
spell to cool off. The President ol
course would know that congress
had passed the bill in the form he
did not want Secretary OF the In
terror Harold L. Ickes could be de
pended on to rush to the Chief Eek
ecutive with a little oil for the fire
even if no one else carried the bat
news. But the President could no
veto the bill without having the bill
to veto, and Garner saw to it tina
| the White House did not get the doc
ument.
AS a matter of fact, if the Presi
| dent had vetoed the bill when Gar
ner let him have it, assuming TIL
veto message was dashed off with
in five minutes of receipt, the mes
senger with the veto message woult
have had to hurry to get to the CAPT
tol before the final gavel. And a
that stage Garner could probabl.
have gaveled his way to adjourn
ment without most of the senator
knowing what the message from
the President was all about.

program for the congress, as out
lined in conference with senate
and house leaders on June 5, is very
interesting reading now, but it
would have been rash prophet in
deed who would have dared predict
any such percentage of failure as
actually developed.
Not that this means permanent
failure. Many of the things that
were caught in the stampede for
adjournment or went over for other
sound reasons may be enacted next
year. Only two defeats seem sure.
One was actual enlargement of the
Supreme court. The other was re-
organization of the federal depart
ments and bureaus.
The President has not given up on
either of these. Actually in the SUI
preme court case he has won,
though he is not claiming victory.
He has the substance, but he want
ed terribly to have the technical
knockout, shadoWy as such vic
tory might possibly have proved.
On government organization, as
predicted in these dispatches many
times, he can have a great deal
when congress finally gets around
to voting on the bill-but not the
things he particularly wants, not
ably executive control over such in
dependent commissions as inter-
state commerce and federal trade.
Wages and hours regulation will
of course 60 through next session,
but the chances are now that the
bill even then will be much more
moderate than the President
wished. The little sawmill and fac
tory owners of the South have felt
their oats, so to speak, and will be
even more outspoken from now on
about things they do not like
Crop control was not mentioned at
the June conference. 1t really
was on the agenda all the time, but
intended by the White House to
come after the bill enlarging the
Supreme court had passed. Obvi-
ously the only satisfactory plan for
contracts not to grow crops with
Individual farmers would not pass
the hurdles set up in the old AAA
4 decision until the court w S
changed. But the probability now
is there will be sufficient change on
the court before any such measures
can be gotten through the next ses-
sion to assure fair promise that
this legislation will be upheld.
Indeed the President for quite q
time was for holding back the wages
and hours legislation until the court
bill had become law.
National planning, as to water re-
sources for the various regions of
the country, was another item on
that June program While the
President has not specifically en-
dorsed Senator George W. Norris

says that unless fathers are made
to cough up" by temper, tears. or
threats they never would give
cent toward supporting the home
which they so eagerly founded. 1t
seems odd to me that any man would
deliberately give up his freedom, hang
ball and chain around his neck,
and take on a household and all its
responsibilities If he wasn't prepared
to keep it running. 1t just doesn't
make sense, somehow. I'd be willing
to bet, II I could locate Mrs. and
find out who she really is, that she
is living alone, having driven away
her husband by employing the very
methods which she describes in her
letter. Temper, tears, or threats"
don't make any man feel inclined to
hang around the little home.
According to Mrs. ?? all fathers
are out for good time at the ex-
pense of home and mother. She says
very definitely that all they want to
do is to play around with the boys"
and, frequently, the girls-only COM
ing home when there is no other
place to go. 1t would appear to me
that maybe Mrs ? didn't make home
as attractive as she might have, If she
is speaking from experience.
<HE roars at me for saying that
fathers weren't considered in their
likes and dislikes as to food. vaca-
tions, radio programs, etc. She tells
me firmly that fathers should be will
ing to do exactly as mother and the
children at all times because they
belong to him. She says that usually
fathers do what they want and the
family has to suffer 1t seems to me
that she gets her wires crossed a
bit here and that she is arguing against
some of her former statements. I
don't quite get the picture.
Anyway, she winds up in a fine
burst of fireworks by telling me that
all men, and especially fathers, should
be treated like the necessary nuisances
they are and not encouraged to think Of
themselves as being anything higher
than a worm. She advises keeping
them so crushed and humble that
they never wake up to the fact that
that there is possibility. as they pay
the piper, of calling the tune And
she attempts to wither me with this
parting shot:
AS for YOU, Miss Caswell. I can
only say that you must be either a
completely negative and passive per-
son without any will power of your
own, or else you are just playing to
the gallery with your masculine read
ers. Maybe they'll be f1attered by your
stuff, but we real women know better
In any event, you have my sincere

In general She says that all men are
''rotten-spoiled. conceited and selfish
fathers are even worse because they
add false pride to the list" Just why
pride in being parent to several
nice children should be termed as
false" I am little at a loss to
understand. 1t would seem to me
that such a father had every right
to rejoice in his sentiments
Further, Mrs. says that fathers
take no interest in their children
and give them no love. For this
reason fathers do not deserve affec-
ton or appreciation. I take issue
right there. The majority of fathers
give their offspring just as much
love and attention as their wives
permit them to- And there is a lot
more in that statement than appears
at first glance The children are
usually so gathered under mothers
wing, and subject to her every plan
law and order, that father doesn't
get a look-in. If he wants to play
with the baby when he comes home
from work-he can't, because mother
has decreed that the baby must go
to bed at such-and-such an hour,
and the fact that father would like
to see something of his child makes
not one jot of difference After re-
