NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BUSINESS AND POLITICS

"Why can't successful business men apply their
sales sense to the political feld?" -
The question is asked by Bruce Barton, business
man who first achieved fame an author, ana Is
now ending his first session in congress as ne
publican member of the house. In an lnterVie"
in Business Week, Mr. Barton tells business men
that political work should be done in their nome
communities, not in Washington.
"If something goes sour in their own organiza-
tons" he says "they make coldly logical anay-
sis of the product its distributors, sales ana au-
vertising technique, consumer resistance, and re-
yamp methods accordingly. In politics they STUN
bic blindly about, getting nowhere"
o. He urges business men to band together for sys-
tenatic community effort in solving the govern
ment-business relationship problem. The problem
he asserts "is not national; it is local. The place
to work is not in Washington but out IN the con-
pressional districts. Business ought to get To-
gether in every locality and appoint their best man
to devote his time to organizing politically. Ihey
should enlist the backing of the middle class IN
nominating the real talent for congress and III
working among the voters.
'If this isn't DONE business and the middle class
can expect to suffer still more from political DOM
nation by the multitude" Barton asserts.
He tells of an incident which he says occurred
when he was talking politics with the president OF
an important manufacturing company. he says
this man "was moaning about the hostility OF con-
gress toward business" saying the congressman
from his own district was ':just crackpot poftl-
clan who rode into congress on RooseVelts coat
tails I've never seen him and Pm not gong to.
And Pm not going to contribute any more to Re
publican organizations until they show they can
accomplish something"
Barton adds that "this doleful executive headed
company which with about 20 others is the very
life of that congressional district" and "if they
could get together on an intelligent political set
up, they could elect any one they chose to con-
gress Charlotte Observer.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

on the ground that "we're from the
same state" Congressman Tom
Jenkins of Ohio, IVA critic, cas-:
the only vote against Biddle.
Chairman of the old National
Labor Relations Board in the MIRA
period, Biddle left Washington in
dignant because Roosevelt-ad-
vised by Donald Richberg-had
interfered with the board and
failed to support it. A member of
one of Philadelphia's first families,
Biddle has demonstrated indie
pendence, bravery ability and
willingness to express himself
freely and frankly. t
&C. -
As Roosevelt invited Senator
= Gillette to lunch, certain pre-
viously concealed facts anent the
Iowa primary began to leak out.
For instance: J. '-
Jim Farley originally picked
Congressman Otha Wearin to op-
pose Gillette, partly because
Wearin looked like farmer, part
~ because he had money to
finance his own campaign. Farley
had expected to get Governor
Kraschel on Wearin's side and
Roosevelt was .cocksure he could
make Secretary Wallace support
Wearin. Both failed. ~
Farley pulled in his neck,
neither he nor Roosevelt daring
to expose themselves as long as,
Wallace. refused. The Harry Hop
kins statement for Wearin was.
partly designed to smoke Wallace
out. That failed, too. g' ~, T
:" Jimmy Roosevelt went in with.
a left-handed endorsement OF
Wearin in order to help Hopkins
out of a hole. Although Jimmy
denied he had had plans to go to
Iowa for Wearin, explaining his
doctors wouldn't have permitted
them, the fact is that Jimmy had
made arrangements with Ed Dunn
Of Mason City to do just that and
had planned to speak at a big
labor rally. Whether Jimmy's doc

THE MINNESOTA PICTURE

A new sort of evidence that politics constitutes
the omen sesame to relief comes from Minnesota
where charges have been openly made, with ex-
ternaI circumstances at least tending to bear them
out, that the state WPA administrator, Victor A.
Chrisgau, has resigned, upon direct request OF
President Roosevelt, after what friends and sup
porters of Mr.. Christgau was his refusal to
approve statewide weed eradication project pro-
posed by Gov. Elmer A. Benson.
Y Dispatches from the scene of this latest WPA
flare-up agreed in terming the dismissed ad-
ministrator "ardent new dealer" and in stating
that his administration has established "a reputa-
ton in state works progress circles throughout the
country" But, when it came to sacrificing either
the political alliance with the Farmer-Labortes,
headed by Governor Benson, and counted upon to
keep Minnesota in the new deal fold, Mr.. Christ
gau, dealer and efficient public servant that
he is reported to have BEEN the President did not
hesitate long about making the choice. Bat let a
correspondent of the New York Times, writing
from st. Paul. give first-hand version of the
controversy:

stood both here and in Washington to be that Mr..
Christgau had been constantly at odds with the
state administration now headed by Gov. Elmer
Benson which came into power in a New Deal
Farmer-Labor coalition in 1886. Recently, Mr..
Christgau refused to approve weed eradication
program sponsored by Governor Benson in which
1000 or more WPA workers were to be sent out
over the farms in the states 81 counties to pull
weeds particularly to deal with scourge of leafy
spurge and creeping jenny.

much the 'spurge' and the Jenny that Mr.. Benson

TASHING ON.-Likelihood
What the government will buy
surplus supplies of clothing for
distribution to people who can't
afford to pay for any, as proposed
by Sidney Hillman, reflects grow
ing determination in Washington
to provide "over-produced" neces-
sites of life for those who lack
them.
The plan considered by WPA
officials for mems clothing would
operate similarly to the Federal
Surplus Commodities Corporation,
which. will be, rapidly expanded.
The FSCC program, under which
surplus food is bought for distri-
button. to relief families, has cost
160,000,000 in five years.
Latest FSCC plan, as yet UNI
announced, calls for purchases of
cotton to be made into quilts and
bed ticking for needy families. :

milk for babies who now 60 with
