Initiating Presidential Power
After Setting New Forces in Motion, Roosevelt Wants
More Authority for Crisis

United States Government bonds.
Within two weeks there have been
flurries of selling, suggesting the pos
sibility that the quotations might
fall to materially lower level. OF
course, no one is selling Government
bonds because Of any faintest fear
that the Government might not pay
the principal or interest when due.
The selling comes from a quite diff
ferent motive. 1t comes from fear
that the 81 900 represented by Gov
eminent bond might come to have
seriously lower purchasing power by
the time the Government pays. This
fear is the same thing as the fear of
imitation, of drastically higher prices
for goods.
Serious Consequences Possible.
Any material drop in the quoted
prices of Government bonds could
have serious consequel yes in many
directions. The administration has
the strongest reasons for wishing to
keep the prices of its bonds up, es-
pecially so long as the administration
is engaged in heavy borrowing. For
maintaining the price Of Government
bonds the administration makes use
of the same stabilization fund that it
uses for maintaining the parity of
currencieS. Over this s2,000,000 900
stabilizaton fund Mr.. Roosevelt has
unlimited authority.
The danger which Mr.. Roosevelt
now apprehends, If 1t becomes
reality, would cause him to feel that
he needs other powers additional to
the one over the stabilization fund,
and needs them on the same unlimited
terms. The emergency, if it comes,
might lead to tightly-bound control
over areas of business and finance
that are now comparatively free.
Mr.. Roosevelt describes what he
apprehends as "the dangers of 1929
That is convenient description of
some Of the phenomena that would
arise. Practically no one, however,
would say that the causes of the
future emergency if it comes, are the
same as the causes of the 1929 one.
Landmarks in Background.
About the true causes there would
be much difference Of opinion. There
are, however, some landmark facts
that stand out.
Mr.. Roosevelt, early in his admins
tration. announced determination TO
bring about rise in prices. If We
cannot do this one way, We will do 1t
another; do it We WILL" he said Octo-
ber %, 1894 This intention, as of that
time, might be conceded to have been
useful. But in picking ways of bring
ing about rise in prices, Mr.. Roose-
welt chose too many ways and ways Of
too different kinds. Probably most
economists would agree thaat some Of
the forces Mr.. Roosevelt set in motion
to raise prices quot out Of control, and
that it is these forces, now running
wild, which threaten imitation.
About the whole situation, the SOM
ber reflection is that the early exer-
cises of power by the President have
brought about a condition in which,
as Mr.. Roosevelt obviously thinks, the
remedy is still more power for the
President. So great are the controls
which he now thinks necessary that
they include what he undoubtedly did
not dream at the beginning of his first
term, change in the Supreme Court.

hendS the danger OF disaster with
in twenty months"
From these utterances, and from
much other evidence, it seems prob
able that Mr. Roosevelt will soon put
Supreme Court on the ground that
with the coming of the economic
emergency he predicts he will need
drastic powers to deal with it. Prob
ably the argument will be that Con-
gress will be willing to give him these
powers but that he must have a
Supreme Court that will sustain them.
The theory IS widely held, and seems
probable, that Mr.. Roosevelt, con-
sclously or unconsciously, had the
apprehension of a crisis in mind and
was moved perhaps by some sense OF
alarm when, to the surprise OF every
body, he launched his court proposal.
Two Theories on Crisis.
About the form the crisis, if it
comes, will take, there are two theories
The overwhelming mass of informed
opinion thinks it would express itself
in imitation, an extreme rise in prices.
A smaller section of informed opinion
holds stubbornly that the crisis would
express itself in the form of a drastic
drop in prices. 1t is possible both
might be right. The crisis might ex-
press itself, at first, for brief period,
in lower prices, but later take the
form of violent initiation
AS to the point where the crisis
might emerge, there are two nervous
spots. One lies in the attempted
maintaining of parity of the dollar,
the pound and the franc. For sup
porting this parity the American,
British and French governments en-
tered into an agreement some time
ago. President Roosevelt has at his
disposal a 'stabilization fund" of
s2,000,00O, with which to make
such purchases and sales of currencies
as he may deem necessary to support
the parity. Recently, it has seemed
to many well informed persons that
the parity can hardly be sustained,
for the reason, among others, that
the French franc seems disposed TO
change in value in relation to the
other currencies. If the parity should
be disrupted and each of the three
currencies seek its own level, explosive
consequences might follow.
The other nervous spot lies in the
value, or rather the quoted prices, Of

really offers is the same thing that
William Jennings Bryan tried to in
troduce as world principle in his
famous peace treaties-a nine months
period of investigation of the merits
of a dispute and an agreement not to
resort to war in the interim.
What railroad labor has agreed TO-
period of investigation before resort
to a Strike-has worked out to labor's
interest and not to its disadvantage.
The maritime strike on the Pacific
Coast, which cost the Nation so heavi-
ly, would have been settled long before
it was if proper mediation machinery
had been provided by Congress. Ger
tainly there was no lack of legal
precedent, and certainly maritime in
terests come obviously under the regu-
latory power of the commerce clause
of the Federal Constitution.
Would Aid Auto Industry.
What, then, shall be said of the
motor industry? While some of the
executives of auto companies prob
ably will not relish the placing Of
their industries under any form If
regulation through the commerce
clause, still, If the Wagner labor act
had been properly written and had
taken as its model the railroad media
ton act, the "Sit-doWn" strikes would
never have occurred. Outlaw strikes
happen now and then on railroad Sys-
TENS, but the pressure of railroad
labor's lawful spokesmen keeps these
outbreaks from ever becoming serious.
So would it be with large industries
that do business across State lines.
A definition of interstate commerce
including them in the category of
railroads would never have been chal-
lenged as to constitutionality in the
courts if a fair and impartial labor
machinery had been set up by Con-
gress and by the several States as

is not with the Supreme Court, on
which the administration likes to blame
everything that goes wrong The fault
is with the Congress and the Presi-
dent, who have failed to recommend
the necessary amendments of the Wag-
ner labor law 50 as to make it a prac-
tical and effective and two-sided law,
instead of partisan law administered
by partisan board in which public
confidence is consequently lacking
America has a national labor policy.
Railroad labor and railroad manage
ment have tested it and found it ef-
fective. Its principles can be applied
to other industries by State as well
as Federal law so that Shutdown"
strikes or any other kind Of strikes
can be rendered superfluous.
