 Jim also is telling friends that he Is again thinking of quitting the cabinet, but that he intends to hold on to the national chairman ship come what may. This is the way Jim talks:
 Certain parties are complain ing that I am not doing what I should be doing in all this purg- ing. Well, all I've got to say to them Is that next winter when votes are needed up on Capitol Hlll, I'll be the one who will be able to do business for the Ad- mlnissratlon. It's all right to talk purge now, but when Congress is in sessioM 1t will be . different story.
 "And some of these fellows who are giving the President all this militant advice will be lucky if they even get tickets to get into the 1040 convention. That convention will be run by the Democratic National Committee, aid m run the committee. I may give up the postmastership general next February, but I'm not giving up the national chalrmanship and nobody can make me do so."
 Jim also relates that he and Roosevelt have discussed l940 presidential aspects, but that none of the hopefuls they considered have Q chance"
 Did he ever talk to you about his running again?" one friend inquired.
 'Never.
 "And what about yourself?"
 Jim shook hls head and laughed. Eve never discussed the matter with him."
 NoTE-The President disagrees emphatically with Jim Farley on the effect the purge" will have on members of Congress.

If, on the other hand, c sabotaging Democrat knows that he faces Q reelection battle, he will think twice about his opposition.

 During three months of Wash ington's most torrid heat, Prem tiss L. Coonley, unofilcial ambas- sador of Big Business, has been working quietly to establish Q basis of friendly relations between business and the New Deal. The other day c friend asked him how he was making out.
 This was Conley's unexpected reply:
 T am having no trouble with Che New Dealers. They are very cooperative. But I certainly am having trouble getting Ideas through the heads of some busi- ness men. They just will not lis- ten to reason"
 Wheat Dumping
 On the surface, the Agriculture Departments new wheat export subsidy is for the purpose of get- ting rid of surplus wheat. Behind the scenes, however, that Is not the only reason.
 Another important purpose is to read Q pointed sermon to the rest of the world, warning that the United States by no means has surrendered the world wheat mar ket to others.
 The world has had this notion ever since io33. and Henry Wal. lace is tired of being misunder- stood. The same is true about cotton, pork and oil other export products, but the sorest point is wheat.
 The idea has gotten abroad that Uncle Sam, under the New Deal, gracefully bowed out Of the market in favor of the Argentines, Australians, Canadians, Russians, and the Danube countries. This idea grew out of the announced policy of crop reduction, plus the unannounced accident of drought.
 Henry Wallace, Che idealist, wanted to maintain the normal U. S. export market for wheat without sneaking any aces out of the deck, but when he found that the United States was the only country keeping . free and uncontrolled wheat market, he has now decided to compromise with idealism and use the tactics of the opposition.
 This decision was equivalent to sending a diplomatic note to other wheat exporting countries saying, We regret to advise that
