MintOn's Blunder

If Senator Minton could be
jailed for political plumbers in
the same way he proposed to
Jail publishers for editorial
blunders, his lobby committee
might now be meeting behind
bars.
His attacks on the press fo9
publishing anti-RooSevelt prop
uganda were, hardly cold in
print before he won an un-
official leather medal from
Democratic front benchers in
the Senate as the best Repub-
lican propaganda spreader Of
1888.
The Minton committee
thought it was fixing things so
as to keep the Republican
policy committee chairman,
Glenn Frank, from making any
thing out of his magazine case,
except such as the lobby COM
mittee wanted to make out Of
it. The committee refused to
let Frank take the stand to
make a statement, handled him
curtly.
Naturally, this opened the
way for Frank to walk outside
and tell his story more COM
pletely and effectively to news
men the way he wanted to get
it out-not even subject to
croSs-examination or counter
argument, as he would have been
on the witness stand in the COM
mittee. Thus Frank was enabled
by the committees action to
take the headlines away from
the committee and walk off
with the whole publicity show.
Some suggestion has been
made that Minton's trouble with
the press may be settled entirely
if the publishers will hire a
press agent to tell him how to
make hay for his own side in
stead of the other.

Mystery Bill

House bill room the other day
for an obscure bill, H. r.
10535. A momentary inside mys-
terry arose. It was introduced
without comment one day by
Chairman Doughton, of Ways
and Means, approved by his
committee the next. What
heightened inner interest was
that it proposed to revise the
debt power of the Treasury
under the old Liberty loan acts.
The mystery apparently was
unjustified. Messrs. Morgen-
thou, Bell, Magill and Taylor
privately explained the purposes
to the w. A. M. committee,
which, therefore, unanimously
approved the bill.
Only change proposed is to
permit the Treasury greater
leeway in creating long or short
term debt. The total limit of
As billion dollars for both kinds
of debt is not to be changed,
but now, only Is billion dollars
of long-term debt is allowed.
The rest must be short term. At
present the Treasury is within
IL billions Of the long-term
limit.

udS udppeu6u Ou Tie WdSC-uO
The Republicans, as you may
have noticed, walked out leav-
ing the non-New-Dealing Demo
Gratis holding that sack-as well
as an appreciation of the vast
political differences still exist
ing between them.
Inside talk and a few outside
developments have been trend
ing toward the suggested re-
alignment for some months,
mainly from the liberal side.
The talk got warm inside
again a few days back when the
politicoS noticed Mr.. Roosevelt
was serene about the La Toilette
break while all his liberals
around him were tearing their
hair out.
A surmise has been expressed
In lofty congressional quarters
that perhaps Mr.. R. thought
the third movement would fur
nish him a good place to jump
in case his own party noncon-
formiSts crowded him off the
Springboard at the next Demo
cratic national convention.
Be this as it may or may not
be, the possibilities now seem
remote from all sides.
Liberals Views
Liberals in the Republican
and Democratic party are max
ing no secret of their disinclina-
ton to join the La Toilette cause.
And while leading Republican
Senator Vandenberg recently
wrote a magazine article weigh
ing the prospects favorably from
his side, most of the non-New-
Deal Congressman in both Dem
ocratic and Republican camps
seem to have weighed them
lightly and silently and tossed
them out the window.
Their views may be summar-
lied automatically something
like this, as result of an off-the-
record survey:
Republican Leaders - No. 1:
"I want no part Of coaleScing.
If disgruntled Democrats want
to come to our church, all well
and good. We cannot go to
theirs. 1t would be as bad as the
old Liberty League and would
not last as long" No. 2: I'm
all the party discussions I have
attended, there has been no Sc
rious mention of a change of
party name, and almost no sup
port for the idea No. 3: Il
can conceive of such a thing,
but it is so remote I doubt it.
A realignment Of the so-called
liberals and conservatives ap-
pears to be in the cards, but it's
too early to predict" No. 4:
"Ditto No. -
Democratic Leaders No. /:
''The idea is a pipe dream" No.
2: TITS too early to even con-
slider such a thing. My guess
would be no. but, Screwier
things have happened" No. 8:
II thought so once, but I am
sure now there will be no such
alliance" No. 4: "JuSt a lot Of
talk. Nothing will come Of it. l"
Lesson From Abroad
Thus both the talk and the
developments are probably more
apparent than important. The
popular expectation Of realign-
ment yet lacks the necessary in
side force.
While this situation may ap-
pear unnatural on the surface,
there is one political prophet
who thinks it furnishes an ex-
cellent political hope for the
country. His view:
"Britain'S success and Frances
failure afford a lesson on re.
alignments. The left and right
wings in France have been
frozen so solidly, the entire 20.
