ton. No reprisas, says Mr.. Farley.
no vendetta. Nothing but charity and
harmony and love and kisses and
maybe blarney.
But on the same night Mr.. Farley
was saying that another person close
to the White House was saying exactly
the opposite. Senator Joseph M. 0uf-
fey OF Pennsylvania made 4 radio
speech. Mr.. Guf1ey's closeness to the
White House is an essential factor In
the situation. Senator GufYey Is al.
most the most consistent supporter
Mr.. Roosevelt has. In the Senate his
rule is, vote for whatever the President
wants. When Mr.. Roosevelt's court
measure came before the Senate, Mr..
Guf1ey made the opening speech tn
behalf Of it. In the New Deal hier-
archy Mr.. Guffey has until recently
stood next to Mr.. Farley. He has
been, until short time ago when he
rendered his resignation. chairman OF
the committee charged with re-elect-
ing Democratic Senators.
So Mr.. Guffey. having this rela ation
to the White House, made q radio
speech. In it he denounced the Sena-
tors who had opposed the President S
court measure. He denounced them
jointly ano he denounced them indi-
vidually. He denounced them by
name. He named Senator O'Mahoney
and Senator Burke and Senator
Wheeler and Senator Holt. He ac-
cused them Of ingratitude. He said
they must be retired to private life.
He excoriated them with a bitterness
that was sensational, 50 much so that
much of the time Of the Senate the
day following was consumed In ex-
pressions Of resentment against him.
Strange Performance.
Now this is q strange performance
Mr.. Farley promising amnesty-and
on the same night Mr.. 0uf1ey pro-
claiming vengeance. To explain such
things Is the business Of Washington
correspondents. The correspondents
at once assumed that Senator oufIey
spoke with the approval OF President
Roosevelt. They observed that the
day preceding the speech Mr.. 0uney
had called at the White House. In
the Senate Mr.. Wheeler OF Montana
declared. of his own information, that
while Mr.. Farley had been talking
gentle amnesty. his ONCE had been
arranging for the broAdcast Of Mr..
Guf1ey's speech Of vengeance.
From all this 1t would be natural
to make an assumption. 1t would
be clever for the White House to dis
claim vengeance with one hand while
holding . stiletto in the other. In
short it might be that Mr.. Farley
speech was the decoy while Senator
Guf1ey's was the real Mccoy. (Thats
= terrible pun. but let 1t stAnd)
For two or three days this assump-
ton was accepted. There were some
deniak Of parts Of 1t. Mr.. Farey,s
literary right hand, Mr.. Charles Mich
elson, denied he had written Senator
Guf1ey's speech or had arranged the
broadcast Of 1t.

tative denial, If there was to be one,
would be President Roosevelt. So at
the first press conference following
the two speeches Mr.. Roosevelt was
asked the direct question: Had he
read the two speeches or either Of
them? Evidently Mr.. Roosevelt was
expecting the question and was pre-
pared for it. To make his reply more

sweepiny he said that not only had
he not read these two speeches, he
had been 20 busy he had not even
read the recent speeches made BY
his son James and by Mrs. Roosevelt.
That u how the overt facts stand.
But in any situation like this neces-
sarily many Of the facts, often the
most essential ones, are not overt.
In An explanation Of such . situation
. certain amount Of surmise is in
evttable. To be able to surmise &C.
curately is part Of . newspaper mans
Job. which he u supposed to learn by
experience and by closeness to the
situation.
The surmise Of vell-informed cor
respondents Is that Mr.. Rooseyelt
thinks about the Senators who op-
posed his court proposal Just as sena-
tor Guffey talked about them. 1t
Is known that persons very close to
him feel that way. Much Of Wash
ington has come to believe that be-
meath Mr.. Roosevelt's smile, as Mr..
Raymond Clapper puts it. "he has
= vindictive streak"
But Mr.. Roosevelt hardly dares show
his feeling openly, at least not yet.
That would make him overtly guilty
OF splitting his party. without doubt
Mr.. Roosevelt would like to do Just
that and probably intends to do just
that, split his party-only he would
call 1t separating the sheep from
the goats" But for the present Mr..
Roosevelt u most eager to have 1t
appear that he Is taking no hand In
contests Of Senators for renomina-
ton or in any party primaries what
ever. At the same time 1t is quite
safe to assume Mr.. Roosevelt hopes
Democratic workers in the States OF
Senators who opposed his court pro-
posal will learn how the President
feels about those Senators. The
workers Will learn 1t, among other
ways, through Senator 0uf7ey's speech
and the discussion attending 1t.
Possibly Mr.. Roosevelt may try to
restrain his feeling until when. next
Spring, the first Of the Senators who
opposed his court proposal comes up
for denomination. or perhaps the first
two or three. II these Senators are
defeated. then no doubt Mr.. Roose-
welt will feel that the Democratic
voters and party workers are with
him, and he will hit out publicly at
the other Senators who opposed his
court proposal.
About the heart Of the whole mat
ter there u no need to use terms OF
surmiSe or assumption or doubt. Mr..
Roosevelt wishes to make the Demo-
cratic party one which supports his
determination about the court and
al his other proposals, present or
future.

George Washington, Stirling, In his

The story Of Indian migration Is 70

$4,000 years ago (merely yesterday in
geological time) the first settlers came
to this country. They belonged to the
Mongolian race Of Northeastern Asia.
The supposition is that they may have
trekked over the ice Of Bering Straits
from Eastern Siberia to Alaska. It was
no concerted migration. Stirling said.
They just dribbled across, did not lin
ger long In the Arctic wastes, but
moved southward as colonization pro-

Details Still IL, Air

AS this is written not even the
President knows how far the
movement toward unification
will be carried. The whole ques-
ton is being given the most in.
tensive study. President Roose-
velt did not present his housing
ideas in detail when he delivered
his opening message to Congress.
His program was not ready. But
the plans are cryStalizing, and be.
fore many weeks word will be given
to go ahead!
And though some Of the details
are yet to be worked out, this
much is certain: Whatever the
President wants he can have. An
acquiescent Congress-, looking to
the White House for guidance,
will give him anything he asks in
the way of authority and appro-
priationS. The Presidents pur-
poses will be the purposes Of the
men who make the laws. OF that
there can be no doubt.
In the minds of the President
and his advisers, not all Of whom
are in agreement as to the best
approach to a solution, the hous-
ing problem has two major as
poets. One is sociological, the
other economic. For the Presi-
dents purposes this is a happy
relationship. AS the new program
gets under way the twin forces OF

CLinaGr to Come

Housing! Watch housing! If
you don't know what it means
now, you will. For America, like
Europe-but many years later, for
the United States is far behind
the older civilization across the
Sea-has accepted it as definite
obligation Of society to provide
decent living quarters for those
who, for any reason, cannot get
them alone.
What will it cost? Who knows?
Who cares? Calculated on the
basis Of need, you can see the pos
sibility Of an expenditure Of SO
billion dollars on new housing in
the next 10 years. Five billions a
year! Not all Of it public money.
Perhaps not much Of it. Most OF
1t funds already accumulated or
accumulating for investment. But
the wealth and the obligation and
the need are there, supplying the
impulse for the coming drive.
For three years and more the
AAA, the NRA and other members
Of the alphabetical family have
come to the center of the national
stage and played their parts in
differently, poorly or well. One by
one they have stepped back, some

Finish Fight Seen

But the battle has started. The
objectives are in sight. The army
is advancing. And the next 10
years, if present purposes and
portents End powers to bring
dreams into being mean anything
at all, will see the war well won.
Leading the fight is the Federal
Government. At its side, as the
signal is given for action, march
the States and cities. Closely
supporting the advance come the
forces of labor and capital. And
backing them up as the column
moves forward toward the dawn
of a better America are millions
to whom life to be worth living
means a home and home more
than a hovel.
With housing as the Spearhead
President Roosevelt personally
will lead the new march toward
recovery. 1t may be stated on the
highest authority that within the
month he will indicate his inten,
ton to consolidate the gains al.
ready made and to weld the scat
tered forces now dealing haphaz-
ardly with the problem into a uni
fled whole under a single COM
mand. Thereafter, before the win
ter's SHOWS have flown, the means
will be provided by Congress to
go ahead with the plans already
outlined.

Waqner Bill First

First on the new housing Sched-
ule will come the enactment of
the Wagner housing bill, spon-
sored by the junior United States
Senator from New York, regarded
in many quarters as the foremost
figure of his day in the field of
social science. This measure.
passed by the Senate last June,
only to be caught in the last-min-
ute log jam in the House, will
have the Presidents backing. In
its present or amended form -
probably amended to enlarge its
scope-it will be must" legi6la-
ton. Senator Wagner has indi-
Gated that it will be broadened in
scope.
AS it passed the Senate last
session, it set up as the holding
company for existing housing
agencies, a new United States

Experiment Ended

Not slowly but swiftly. forces
are being set in motion to make
life happier, more wholesome, by
providing millions Of Americans
with homes which without help
Ethey could never hope to enjoy.
These forces are in motion now.
A beginning has been made. In
what has been done costly lessons
have been learned. But they
have been learned-and that is
important in what is to come.
Now, with the pioneering past, the
era of experiment ended, there
are many indications that the
whole country is ready at last to
90 forward with a united front
toward the realization of all that
has been dreamed, but until now
never dared.
In the past housing programs,
whethere private or public, so far
as they contemplated large-scale
projects for the benefit of the
masses of the people, have been
cynically described as "a form Of
oratory." For this cynicism there
was more than a little juStifica-
tion. AS Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. IckeS put it:
ITO talk about housing Is
pleasant conversational exercise.
To build it is to engage in a
hardfOught battle"
