noteworthy for the fact that

of submarine fact, most Of the
La toilette friends here believe
Phil is breaking the water too
soon, Indeed, it Is not clear
that even Brother Bob sees eye
to-eye with Phil about the ad-
visibility of bestirring them
serves before they know def
nitely what they are going to do.
At any rate, the present condi-
ton of the movement Is well
summed up by a good friend OF
the La Follettes in the House
who says:
I'VE are suffering from the
same defect which beset the
Mexican armies Of old. We are
all generals"
At Odds With F. D. r.
THE personal angle is that
Il Brother Phil as governor OF
Wisconsin has been at odds with
Mr.. Roosevelt for some months
over relief and unemployment.
No one doubts that he is really
serious about forming the new
party. 1t is likewise rather gen.
orally believed that while he
wants to be the director he
might agree to play first trum"
pet under certain conditions.
Bob, however, has been much
closer to Roosevelt personally
all along the way. While Phil
and Bob have worked together
like brothers. their methods OF
political approach are sharply
different.
Phil is the pet of the old La
Toilette crowd in Wisconsin. He
was his fathers first choice for
political leadership. Bob was
fostered by the Norris crowd in
Washington and his selection as
Senator in his fathers place dis
appointed the Wisconsin crowd
somewhat.

OIMILaARLY the Republican
~ Labor party LaGuardia part
OF the prospective coalition is
not really as close as 1t seems
to be on the surface.
The New York mayor has
been quietly driving his wedge
into the New Deal for the past
few weeks until he has a far
more formidable basis to work
on than the La Follettes. His
political sidekick, Adolph Berle,
has in q few weeks become
more than assistant State Sec
rotary.
He has at his side in New
York now, Prof. Tugwell. who
has nearly as many friends
spread around in the various
New Deal bureaus as Farley.
Also he seems to have a man
in the Cabinet, as Interior Sec
rotary Ickes has been close to
the LaGuardia interests of late.
He drew down the lions share,
perhaps two lions shares, of the
Straus slumS clearance money
last week.
LaGuardia's intentions have
been manifest in other ways.
AS mayor Of New York, the
Latin-American policy is none
of his official business, but he
broadcast on the national net
works two weeks ago a plan to
superSede the Hull policy with
direct Federal treasury bountieS
to undersell MusSolini and Hit
Ter in South America.
State Secretary Hull de-
nounced the project, and it
flopped so completely that La
Guardia will not mention it
again. Since then Sidewise
glances have been cast at Berle
by the local diplomats who suS-
pect him of inspiring the La
Guardia heresy, although he
really did not.
At any rate the La-Guardia-

Fight for Party Control

Fight for Party Control
IF this is not enough to ex-
L plain the third party predica-
ment, the situation of John
Lewis in Pennsylvania will clear
it up for you-with a cloud Of
dust. The CLIO leader is trying
to find out whether he is also a
Democratic party policicaL
leader, and upon the answer
from the primary depends much
more than upon the meeting in
Madison.
The tusSle for control of the
Democratic party is being I'M
officially waged almost daily in
Congress. It is much too early
yet to say who will win out po-
litically, or even to say who is
in control, as the situation is
changing from issue to issue.
The political leaders accept
1t as an expected fact that the
Democrats will glide through
the coming congressional cleo
ton without as much trouble as
might be expected. Mr.. RooSe-
welt Is getting five billion dol
lars. Also the Administration
appeal will be so varied that
both radical and conservative
Democratic candidates in vari-
Gus parts of the country will be
supported by the National Ad-
ministration which has lately
lost most of its enthusiasm for
Furnishing Democrats who dis
agree with Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS for 1910, existing signs
point to q split like that of the
Republicans in 1912, such as the
LaFollette and LaGuardia boys
are playing for. but much will
happen before 1910.

Recurrent War
 Scare Causes Betting on
 Probabilities Of s'Fight''
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7-Betting odds are to that the war eggs won't hatch out this season.
 That's the way the wagers run among people who ought to know the men in the grandstand seats afforded by Foreign Offices and State Departments.
 These fellows know all the inside reasons why war might break out and why it might not. They are not merely optimistic. They are simply adding up cold logic on both sides of the ledger and striking a trial balance. It figures out some thing like this:
 Europe is all tangled up in it's own diplomacy, more So now, per- haps, than in any preceding era of all it's long and tangled history. The loose ends are treacherous and forbidding, even to the agile Ger mans, who stand to gain most by risking a war. But even the Ger mans don't like the idea of playing the role of a wrestler who grabs a toe hold on what he thinks is his opponents foot, and breaks his own ankle.
