No breathing Spelp
Euer Has Taken Place

In the matter of a truce between
the government and industry, be-
ieve I recall accurately the famous
breathing spell'' of several years
ago. Roy Howard, the Pittsburgh
and New York newspaper publish
er, wrote letter in which he told
the President of the need for CO.
operation between the government
and business and suggested at the
same time how encouraging it
would be if business could be as
sured that government harass-
ment of business was at an end. If
I remember, Mr.. Roosevelt said in
his reply that the major portion of
his New Deal reforms was complet-
ed and there would be a breathing
SPELL" It was about that time, too,
that Vice President Garner was re-
ported to have said it was time to
let the cattle get fat; that they had
been chased around until they were
just skin and bones. He meant, of
course, that if business was going to
expand and re-employ workers, then
on relief, the government must quit
taking everything the employers re-
ceived. Well, neither the breath
ing spell'' nor the fattening process
ever has taken place.
Further, reference might be made
to the fact that, not the white
House Spokesman" but numerous
spokesman for Mr.. Roosevelt have
been having great fun riding astride
the neck of business. One can re-
fer to the activities of Robert H.
Jackson, trust buster extraordinary;
to Thurman Arnold, who succeeded
to Mr.. Jackson's job in the depart
ment of justice; to William o. Doug
lass, or to Secretary Ickes. Each of
these has had several turns swing
ing bludgeon at business men, and
they will swing them some more.
So, perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt's anal
ogy in which he compared the Eu-
ropean situation and settlement"
with the idea of a settlement be-
tween government and business was
not so far wrong. Perhaps the "set-
Element" by which Hitler took over
great chunks of Czechoslovakia is
the way the authoritative sources"
or the white House Spokesman"
would have our government take
over most private industry.

found the corner bakery and laun-
dry relieved Mrs. Housewife of
many duties, leaving her free to
boost the family's income or re-

. Until this year, most u. S. citizens
regarded the foreign spy as comic
strip and fiction character, although
government intelligence officers
have long known the nation is in
tested with agents from Russia,
Germany, Italy and Japan. First
real action to combat spies is the
house committee on un-American-
ism which has heard evidence con-
Meeting espionage with everyone
from Shirley Temple to unnamed
industrial magnates. Incoherent
though its findings may be, the I'M
Americanism committee has crys-
talized enough U. S. sentiment to
demand action. After reviewing the
situation, President Roosevelt has
laid plans for co-ordinating the work
of such spy seekers as the army
and navy intelligence departments,
federal bureau of investigation, Sc
cret service and other treasury law
enforcement units. Already in op-
GRAFTON is new law requiring all
agents of foreign principals to reg
lister with the state department.
Though the measure has no teeth, it
will enable the U. S. to keep an
eye on propagandists, thereby paw
ing the way for action against spies.
Q Regardless of who holds power
when civil service is expanded, it
will create furore in the minority
ranks because present job-holders
will be favored. On this assump-
ton, a furore will come in Repub-
lican ranks February when 81, 900
Democratic workers in so-called
emergency agencies are moved into
civil service classification. Another
$4,000 may be added later.

fective principally to imports from
the Orient although admittedly such
products as Czechoslovakian shoes
would fall into the classification of
low cost imports.
Earlier attempts to include i'm
port taxes in the pending revenue
bill have been partly beaten of with
the House enacting only one such
levy, an excise tax on imports of
pork products, and the Senate FL
nance Committee not only striking
this out but refusing to add a tax
on imports of canned beef and
canned ham.
The Senate committee responded
yesterday to recommendations of
Chairman William o. Douglas of the
Securities and Exchange Commission
on two amendments.
First of these provided that capital
gains or losses resulting in the orderly
dissolution of utility holding compa-
nies under section IL of the Utility
Holding Company Act of 1886 would
not be recognized in computing taxable
income. Such exemption would apply
for dissolutions proceeding under
commission order of date prior to
January l, 1910, and would have the
effect of protecting stockholders in
such companies from prohibitive taxes
on transfers being forced by the Hold
