Purge but Step In Plan
OF Political Reolignnent

But there is yet another thought
in this connection. I refer to the
Presidents program for a realign-
ment of political groups in this coun-
try. He has called for it; of that
there is no obvious doubt. The
purge" of the senators marked for
political destruction was one of the
early steps. So, it is significant that
Mr.. Roosevelt's early maneuver in
the direction of a forced realign-
ment has succeeded to the extent of
a complete flop. The thing that
started out to be a beautiful swan
like dive became a belly-buster,
much to the chagrin of the great

Crowley declined to commit the
corporation in advance of the sur
vey, but he expressed the belief
that if the additional risk were
small. there would be little or no
objection to increased insurance.
Previous estimates have shown
that 90 per cent of the nations de-
posits are covered by the $4,000 in
surance now provided. No recent
studies have been made and depos-
its since have grown to the near
record total of about SAL, 500, 000, 900.

This peerless fuel food was once

Political Destruction
Of Roosevelt Threatened

I know that Mr.. Roosevelt is no
more anxious to have the United
States become involved in war than
you or I. He realizes its cost in
blood, as well as the disarrange-
ment of world economics that fol-
lows. And if war comes, he, natural
ly will want united nation back
of him. But, coldly and abstractly,
I repeat that war conditions are the
only set of circumstances that I see
now which may prevent thorough
going movement on Capitol Hill for
the political destruction of Mr..
Roosevelt. When I say, political de-
struction, / do not mean to imply,
or to hint that opponents of the Pres
ident within his own party want to
send him to oblivion. They will
seek-they are seeking, now-to de-
throne him in every way except as
titular head of the party. They
want the guidance to come from old
Democratic leaders and they want
adherence to old Democratic princi-
pies. That is to say, the longtime
oracles of the Democratic party
have witnessed stupidity, sheer
dumbness, on the part of the young
squirts who have crowded close to
the President, and they want to
send those quacks back to the oblivi-
on from which they came. Further,
the old line Democrats want to avoid
wide-open split in their party. I'm
less that can be done in 1910, there
will be Republican victory fol-
lowed by exactly the same condi-
tons that wrecked the Republicans
after the purge" that the voters
gave the G. o. P. in 1882 and 1886.

Some Heads May Fall;
Neru Spokesmen Appear

In consequence of these things,
have an idea that there will be
many, many moves made during
the next session and in the session
just before the 1910 convention de-
signed to take the Democratic party
out of the hands of the Roosevelt
advisers. I think you will see dele
gates being groomed here and
there, Is months before they are to
be formally chosen. I believe also
that state political bosses will be-
come quite active next summer as
they watch which way the wind
blows. Some will guess wrong, some
right. Some political heads will fall
and new spokesman will appear on
the scene.
All of these things, I predict, will
happen, barring one thing. That
one thing is war. If there is a gen.
eral European war on the horizon,
then we may expect a different
course of political events in the
United States.
What am about to say, now, is
not said in discredit of the Presi-
dent. 1t is merely voicing a fact in
politics. If there be a general war
abroad, and, more particularly, if
American relations become involved
in it, then Mr.. Roosevelt unquestion-
ably will appeal for solidarity of
public opinion, for unanimous sup
port for the government of the ma
ton. His spokesman and henchmen
will be busy as bees showing him
to be the only man for the job, the
only man capable of saving the ma
ton. That happened in Woodrow
Wilson's time and it has happened
in every other war, and it will hap
pen again.

FLOUTS FASC|SM

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has
no fear Of Communistic or Fascis-
tic influence in this country as
long as "our own form of govern
ment on the whole meets the needs
Of the people. .s>
Writing in the March issue OF
the Democratic Digest, Mrs. RooSe-
welt said she believes there are
as many Fascists as Communists
in the country, but that neither
group represents q real menace
at present"
At the same time the First Lady
expressed the view that political
patronage Is not essential to party
organization. She warned, how
ever, that the development Of civil
service must be accomplished in
such q manner that competition
will be retained as an incentive to
making the individual efficient.
Referring to Communists and
Fascists, Mrs. Roosevelt said:
"I have no fear Of either group
as long as our own form Of gov
ernment on the whole meets the
needs Of our people. People do
not decide to change their form
of government unless they are
convinced that under its aus
pices they cannot obtain life

Jonah and Whale
Story Held True

NEW YORK, Feb. % G.N.sJ.
DR.. William Ward Aver tells why
he believes in the story Of Jonah
and the whale.
There are too many Jonahs
in the modern world for one not
to believe in the original Jonah.
There are vastly too many who
get out Of the will Of God and
get themselves into unspeakable
difficulties, and we discover
that God delivers them by cir
cumStances as miraculous as
those Of the whale"
The Washington times., 1938-02-28

slightly too much for them 80
far. They were supposed to find
q sensible way for the Treasury
to handle the old age pension
and unemployment relief funds
in place Of the present Treasury
system Of spending the money
as fast as it comes in and de-
posting I. o. us in the fund.
They were also supposed to as
certain If farm, labor and do
I1estics should be included, etc.
What the police might call a
private dragnet has developed
the fact that the council has
held many meetings but has
been unable to reach satisfac-
tory conclusions. Latest credit
able word is that II they can
find an answer before the old
age pension tax is increased in
1910, they will be satisfied.
Upon one thing you can depend.
There vii be no report for this
session Of Congress to consider.
GONE answers were volun-
y teered in unnoticed amend
ments proposed in the Senate
during the last few days by
Senators Vandenb berg and
Lodge. These would suspend
the proposed accumulation Of
fifty billion dollars Of Treasury
!. O.. us in the reserve fund.
Lodge would cancel the pro-
posed increase of the old age
pension tax to 6 per cent, would
limit the Treasury reserve to a
billion dollars and turn receipts
above that over to the States.
These amendments probably
will be glued Surreptitiously to
committee tables with Admins
tration glue for the remainder
Of the session. They will not be
adopted.
The unannounced admins
tration plan is to delay major
changes in the admittedly de-
ficient social security system
until the next session Of Con-
gress. No important alterations
will be permitted in the exist.
ing setup until the advisory
council and the administration
reach q better understanding Of
what they want to do.
AN NKIING Of what the next
"A o. s. war will do to the dem
ocratic form Of government is
given officially in the new war
profits bill now pending in the
House. One line furnishes the
general idea. It authorizes the
President, in time Of war, to
issue an order declaring it to
The Washington times., 1938-02-28

be unlawful for anyone to "buy,
sell, lease or otherwise contract
for any article, service, right or
interest in property" at prices
above those fixed by the Chief
Executive. Other provisions
would allow him to draft all
men between al and 81, require
registration Of civilians in In
dustry, fix prices arbitrarily.
The bill does not tell how.
It merely sets forth q broad
policy, leaving details to the
President.
What it all boils down to is a
blanket authorization to the
President from Congress allow
ing him to become dictator, with
more power than most dictators
have now. Advocates Of such
drastic means believe it to be
necessary to develop the single
minded leadership essential for
mobilization Of all national re-
sources for war use. The fact
that the United States has
fought many successful wars
without such blanket legislation
apparently does not convince
them that it is unnecessary now.
Labor Is against 1t and un-
doubtedly notifications will be
made in 1t before it Is passed
If it is passed. Confidentially
there is just a bare unmention-
able chance that the Senate
SouthpawS will filibuster 1t to
death.
NOTE-The War Profits bill
IN might still be tied up in the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee had not Representative
Maverick gone to New York the
other day. He has been block
ing action by various parlia-
mentary means because he
wants a provision taxing war
profits. AS soon as he left, the
bill was approved by the COM
mittee.
CALLS are rugged for the new
~ naval building program in
Congress. The private Admins
tration poll Of the House indi-
Gated to leaders they need ex-
pect no more than 100 votes
against 1t at the maximum. No
material notifications are ex-
pected to be made.
The only thing changed 80
far is the Administration estimate
Of how much it will cost. The
program was originally estimated
to cost $500, 900, 900. Now it is
conceded to cost $1,156, ,000, 900
in the next four years. The orig
inal estimate apparently was
made to. soften the initial blow
Of press publicity. The larger
figure developed when the House
committee got down to cases.
THE current argument as to
l. whether the Navy is going
about protecting itself in the
proper way is hectic, but not
deep. The respective merits of
airplane bomberS and battle
ships in defense against each
other have been argued for 20
years without a satisfactory con-
cluSion.
A majority in Congress seems
to be willing to let the Navy
decide what it wants for defense
on the ground that if it does not
know the respects in merits of
battleships and bombers, no one
