Senator Bennett Clark's faction also is backing Douglas. Clark him. self is running for reelection this year and doesn't want an open break with Pendergast, although he beat the machine in 1882
 Stark has assailed what he calls Pendergasts attempt to control the Missouri judiciary, and this argu- ment carries weight in the rural areas.
 But at this stage Pendergast is confident and his men say the poli- tical godfather will give the wan dering prodigal a chatisement at the ballot box-and with some sat- isfaction, too.

The Inside Angle

INSIDE LINE political angle OF
L it is that Mr.. Roosevelt can
use it during the coming cam
paign to keep business too busy
to be against his congressional
candidates. In effect, it could
even be used as a pressure COM
mittee or terror committee, de-
pending on how tough Mr.. r.
wants to be with any particular
business group. At least, it will
be an "Anti-RooSevelt" as well as
an anti.monopoly investigation.
Also it will serve the technical
political purpose Of holding out
hopes until after November, for
those left wingers who are dis
satisfied with what is going on
now.
A wholly unobserved har.
binger Of what Is in the New
Deal air was offered by Mr..
Roosevelt's newest economic ad-
wiser, Assistant State Secretary
A. A. Berle, in a speech to the
graduating class at Columbia
University last Thursday.
"It is pretty plain that some
new national policies are in the
making" said Professor Berle.
Something pretty sweeping is
going to happen in the next few
years."
Berle did not say what it was,

but saw four lines of approach:
(A). Get the Government out
of the way of business and let it
recover. (Iis words indicate he
does not like this idea or expect
it to develop0
(B). Chop up the monopolies
into little pieces and give free
competition to all small busl-
ness (He did not think this
would work, because the habits
of the country are geared to the
present systemO
(C). Large scale industries
and large scale production, un'
der Government regulation for
standards of labor, production,
price limitation" and the like.
(He thought this was a realistic
approach.)
Cd. Drastic change by Gov
ernment taking over the banks,
railroads, utilities and natural
resources like oil and copper, so
it could stimulate these buSi-
nesses of its own to take up the
slack whenever other private
business went sour. (He called
this what it is, semi-socialism.)
Whenever an assistant State
Secretary starts talking like
that, you may be sure the pres
ent surface placidity Of Wash
ington is deceptive.
The Washington times., 1938-06-13
Other Methods

NOTE-Incidentally, no one
~ has yet suggested that in
stead Of starting new reforms,
the Government should sincere
" try to make work those which
have already been enacted. Nor
has anyone suggested the only
way to do this is for the Gov.
ernment to inspire business with
a hope for profits.
When the proofs Of Washing
ton News-man Cyrus Sulzberg-
er's new book, "Sit Down With
John L. Lewis" went to the
printer, they contained as sharp
a Lewis thrust at the White
House as has ever yet reached
print.
Speaking of what Lewis had
once said publicly about Mr..
Roosevelt, the Sulzberger nara
tive continues:
I'm private, John L. is even
more despairing: He is out
Hoovering Hoover and he Is get
ting nowhere fast. "
Sulzberger's conclusion, which
probably is the correct one, is
that Lewis and Roosevelt went
along together only until they
discovered they were not helping
each other.
Note These private Lewis
quotes are supposed to be in
cluded in an advance printing
of the last chapter of the book
by a weekly magazine of this
week. The magazine says the
book is authorized" but what
happened was Sulzberger submit
ted the proofs to Lewis and
Lewis suggested some changes,
which may or may not have
been made. These particular
quotes will not be denied.
