BY MARK SULLIVAN.

IF YOU were to try to put in words that
intangible thing called "the atmos-
phere Of Washington" you would be
likely to say the New Deal is tired. 1t
has lost its momentum, its drive. The
spirit which intended, by q tremendous
out-throwing of energy, to bring about
use New Deal phrases OF 1893 and 1884
peaceful revolution" new order"-that
headlong, reckless confidence no longer
exists.
I am aware this statement seems to run
counter to what Mr.. Roosevelt said re-
Gently, on the fifth anniversary of his first
Inauguration. But that affirmation of con-
tiuued purpose. including the reference to
the Fifteenth Psalm, was inspired more by
disquiet than by hope. 1t was, psyche
logically, rear-guard sortie. rather than
any exultant cry Of forward" 1t was not
really rallying cry to Mr. Roosevelt's cap
tains in the New Deal and was not so in
terpreted by them. They know the New
Deal is slowed up. They doubt whether
the New Deal, as such, will ever resume its
forward march. The New Deal today is
not gallant steed galloping down the
middle of the road with its tail over the
dashboard. 1t is a weary horse thinking
longingly of the stable.
The let-down Of the New Deal can be
measured by landmark. 1t is just about
a year ago. on March 4, 1887, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, at a Democratic victory
dinner, uttered a ringing attack upon his
opponents a ringing demand for enact
ment of his court measure. He had sent
the measure to Congress on February S.,
1887, he had just become aware of opposi-
ton to it within his own party, and he had
the anger of proud captain outraged by
muttering mutiny. 1t was also about a
year ago, March 8, 1887, that he made a
second speech of insistence on the court
measure and threatened darkly that in be-
half of this measure he would continue to
appeal to the country. But he never did.
BY about April last year he was aware that
the country did not like his court measure,
that Congress probably would not enact it.
That defeat of the court measure was the
beginning of the slowing up of the New
Deal 1t was responsible for the present
changed atmosphere. the let-down into
lassitude. 1t was that which cost Mr..
Roosevelt his command over Congress.
During the full year between his introduc-
ton of the court measure on February s.,
1887, and February S, 1885, only one meas
ure asked by him was enacted by Congress.
and that was the sort of measure hardly
any Congress ever denies to any President,
a proposal for public expenditure in behalf
of housing.

it affect the business of the independent

afford to pay? FRED VETTER.

A Vigorous Reply
To Letters on immigration.
To the Editor Of The Star:
A IL those opposed to a liberal interpre-
tation of our immigration laws COM
mence with the major premise that all i'm
migrants are wicked and vicious; that all
immigrants are job seekers and that all
Immigrants come into this country for the
purpose of reveling in the luxury of relief
allotments.
This committee has had drawn to its at
tention two letters written to the editor of
The Star, which Senator Robert R. Rey-
nolds has had printed in the extension of
remarks Of the Congressional Record. Two
individuals, mentioned only as p. H. Jones
and ]. D. Mason. viciously attack the an
nual report of Miss Perkins.
P. H. Jones says: "Sixty-one per cent
OF new-seed immigrants, having no real
relatives here, are inevitably job hunters
or relief seekers"
The truth is that new-seed immirrants
are not job hunters and can never be relief
seekers. On the contrary, new-seed immi-
grants enrich our country with their finan-
cial wealth.
In recent months the following non-
attached, new-seed immigrants were ad-
mitted to the United States:
Albert Einstein, whose theories have so
far advanced the thought of man that its
effects will not be known for many genera
tions; Thomas Mann, who ranks as one of
the highest literary geniuses Of today; Max
Reinhardt, the great theatrical producer:
Vicki Baum, novelist, and Elizabeth Berg
ner, actress.
These are pointed out as relief seekers.
The cultural wealth these men and women
has contributed to America is inestimable.
Yet we find advocates for the Reynolds
Starns bill, which would close our doors to
new-seed immigrants and which, If en-
acted, would forever bar these brilliant
minds from the United States
Reactionaries who urge the deportation of
individuals who are not American should
be reminded that to do so would leave only
Indians in the United States; all the rest of
us are immigrants. With the passage of
the quota laws Of 1924, immigration to the
United States is negligible. Yet Senator
Reynolds has had printed in the Congress
sional Record the following, statement:
"The immigration food has started in
again."

Sees "War Preparations"
In Islands Controversy.
tn the Editor of The Star.

T SEE that Great Britain is giving us air
bases in the South Pacific.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been looking up the
logs of old voyages and has found that our
whalers sighted those islands once.
Surely they sighted the Falklands on
their way around the Horn. Will Great
Britain give us the Falklands? They would
be worth while.
We have nothing in the South Pacific
to defend. We must be preparing to de-
fend Australia.
Won't Britain help US? She is evidently
going to be neutral. Otherwise we could
use her air bases
Are these war preparations none of our
business? Are they none of Congress b,lsi-
ness? Senators have been asking questions,
and they don't seem to know any more
than We do. THOMAS McMORROW.

Puerto Ricans Proud
OF Their Conduct During Strike.

OF Their Conduct During Strike.
To the Editor of The Star:
WE FREQUENTLY observe in this world
that approval Of praiseworthy conduct
is seldom voiced, while critics spring for
ward by the scores when some one has
made mistake. It is for that reason that
I want to comment upon your recent
editorial, Puerto Rican Strike" It was
very well done. and I want you to know
that Puerto Ricans have read your COM
ment appreciatively.
The strike Of stevedores was tremendously
embarrassing while it lasted, but Puerto
Rico is proud of the record as it stands.
Although the tie-up threatened to bring
starvation and had curtailed the employ
ment of thousands employed in other in
dustries, there was no wave of popular in
dignation nor any threat of violence. With
the harbor filled with ships waiting to be
unloaded, yeast for our daily bread supplies
coming in at great cost by airplanes and
many staples such as butter, onions and
smoked meats entirely exhausted, the popu-
lace exercised patience, and both sides in
the controversy expressed forbearance from
any action that might have lead to vio-
lence.
Our present administration is strongly in
favor of statehood, and to achieve state
hood we realize that settlement of public
questions must be handled in such q
manner as to convince Washington that
we are fully capable Of assuming the re-
sponsibilities of much larger measure of
self-government.
In making this impression we are greatly
aided by Gov Blanton Winship, whose ex-
ecutive ability is combined with qualities
of leadership that have established him
as the most popular as well as the most
successful Governor the island has ever
had. had the privilege of working with
him during the strike crisis, nrst as Acting
Governor and as a member Of his cabinet.
In this situation as well as others his out
standing characteristic was coolness and
full understanding Of the situation as well
as of the psychology Of the people he was
dealing with.
It is my belief that we have come long
way in the last four or five years, and
off1cial as well as public conduct during the
strike should be ample evidence that the
outmoded temperamental and political ap-
proach to public questions has been pretty
well eliminated.

To the Editor OF The Star:
IN THAT most exalted edifice, the Su-
preme Court of the United States hang
the Oil portraits of the several chief JUS
tices and many associate justices who have
Of the Nation. 1t is long and imposing
procession. On the fame of each painting
is an undersized tablet giving the name of
the eminent juriSt and the years Of his
service. Yet here in this supreme home Of
justice there exists unique injustice, both
ethically and culturally, to that immemo-
rally forgotten man known throughout lit
erature as "The Poor Artist" For there is
never a mention of that highly skilled
workman who struggled hard to secure a
likeness, and to please the often dissatisfied
sitter Indeed, as if to add insult to injury,
his signature on the canvas where it exists,
is generally concealed by the frame And
might take rank as work of art, that Of
Chief Justice Marshall, by Rembrant Peale.
the signature scratched across the back
ground can scarcely be deciphered.
In certain epochs and countries, but
above all in our own age and Nation until
just recently, the poor artist has been
almost invariably overlooked or ignored by
press and public alike The newspapers
will print illustrations, photographs and
descriptions of glowing monuments, and
enduring memorials, and not mention his
name, nor is the average spectator suffi-
GENTLY art conscious to inquire. Yet is
not the leader in any Of the arts a creator
tions? And how repeatedly and unendingly
has it happened throughout history that it
is the master painter who confers upon his
subject, whether well known or unknown.
his most lasting distinction, survival value,
or immortality. In that most priceless of
all rooms in the Louvre has not Van Dyke
filled us with awe and admiration for the
renegade King Charles, and who pray in
Leonardo da Vinci;s lifetime was Mona
Lisa?
Fortunately in striking contrast to this
inadvertent oversight by our Supreme
Court justices the situation is reversed bv
the practice of most Of the great galleries
tomary to have a tablet of sufficient size
to be easily readable, and to inscribe on it
the name of the artist in the larger letters,
and that of the subject in the smaller. And
on one tablet in a gallery in Washington
the name Gilbert Stuart is in letters three
times the size Of that of THE Father of
His Country"
Should these lines bring the matter to
their attention, may we not hope that the
members of our most towering tribunal will
ind nothing in the Constitution to prevent
their making partial amends to those
humble wielders of the brush and palette
whom they themselves selected. and NAV

sion Of some one-quarter Of q million i'm
migrants who might become public charges,
yet they decry the discretionary powers
vested in the immigration authorities and
literally accuse the Department of Labor
Of favoring gamblers and dope peddlers.
No law that deals with human relations
ship can be successfully framed to enter
tain every contingency. Some discretion
must Of necessity remain in the department
and this committee feels that Miss Francis
Perkins and her associates have most ably
performed their duties.
The Coolidge bill, favored by the
immigration Department. and this COM
mittee and passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives, is a most progressive piece Of
legislation, despite Senator Reynolds report
to the contrary. This bill would strengthen
our present immigration laws, not weaken
them. 1t would hasten the deportation of
the criminal alien and permit the deserv-
ing and law-ab:ding alien to assume his
rightful heritage Of citizenship.
Miss Perkins in her annual report stated
that there has been less deportation under
her regime than in previous years. This.
her critics are quick to interpret, favors the
immigrant; but the contrary again Is the
truth.
The real truth about the rigid routine an
immigrant must survive before getting sue
cessful admission for permanent residence
in the United States has never been ade-
quately publicized.
A prospective immigrant must apply for
admission to an American consul posted in
q foreign land. He must produce evidence
to the satisfaction Of our American consul
that he is mentally sound and physically
able that he has the necessary educational
requirements, that he has sufficient funds
for financial support to assure his not be-
coming a public charge. But-and this
seems to slip the minds of our lambasting
opponents-after an immigrant has sue
ceeded in satisfying the close scrutiny of
our American consul as to those require
ments, he must still come under the quota
allotment Of his country and wait for a
visa number.
American consuls are the highest type OF
career men In the public service Why
should Senator Reynolds assume that they
and our immigration officers are so lax
that they flood the country with undesirable
aliens?
Letters like those of Jones and Mason,
with their misstatements and vitriolic at
tacks, do no good, but only serve to prejudice
the minds of the public and arouse class
hatred and class discrimination.
