greater cohesion than they ap.
pear TO have at present.
There seems to be basis for the
statement that the Liberal Party
idea is more Phil LaFollette's than
BoS's. Senator Bob would like to
see more liberality in American
politics, but he is not willing to
set up party that would drive a
wedge into the sprawling New
Deal-RooSevelt- Democratic organi-
cation and let a COP candidate
and Congress walk through the
split. Another great Liberal,
Mayor LaGuardia, who could not
be left out of any political calcu-
lations regarding a Liberal party,
is understood not to be heartily
in favor of a separate Liberal
Party right now, for the same tao
tic | reason.
The State election laws have
been so drawn that the two old
time major parties have it all
their way in most of them.

Bitter Feeling

EVEN so, unusual inner bitter
~ ness developed among the
conferees over giving the Presi-
dent that much. There is no
reason for mentioning Names,
Is the animositieS will cool, but
one Republican conferee will
not speak to one of his Repub-
ican colleagues who gave in.
The Governments evidence
indicates the country is enter
ing upon a second phase Of the
depression.
Sensitive commodity prices
have been easing off again
lately, after having maintained
q fairly firm basis earlier in the
year. Notably, the wholesale
price index Of the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics varied less than
half a point from January / to
the third week in March. Since
then it has dropped a full point,
which is a swift drop in such q
heavy index.
Farm prices, especially cotton
and wheat, also have been soft.
Mr.. RS economists look upon
the 10-cent decline in wheat
during the past two months as
disturbing. Since mid-January
they have noted wheat has de-
clined IS cents.
The spend-lend gram
should bolster industrial prices,
and the new farm program may
have the same effect on agri-
culture. However, readjusting
prices involve the whole eco
nomic mechanism of wages, pro-
duction, employment and sales,
hence sharp eye is being main
tanned on them from Washing
ton at the moment.

BY EARL GOODWIN

The LaFollette idea of a third
political party for liberals doesn't
scare old-time politicos. They've
already fixed State election laws
so that it is all but impossible for
a third party to launch itself ma
tionaily, except after years Of
effort.
Moreover predetermined po-
liticai managers see in the talk of
a third party a threat against the
Democrats, which would have the
effect Of keeping the Democrats
in line. The Conservative and
Anti-New Deal Democrats would
not relish a party which would
sap the Democratic strength and
thus nelp elect a Republican Ad-
ministration. Therefore a third
party threat would, it is calculated,
have the effect of hammering
Democratic ranks together with
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-04-27

never in the history Of tax max
ing has such compromise been
reached. AS he saw it, the Con-
gress is saying in effect to the
Chief Executive that it antici-
pates with pleasure, his depar-
ture from public office and ex-
poets then to substitute its own
ideas of taxation.
In the meantime it will ap-
peaSe him by a very small (2k
per cent? tax on undistributed
corporate profits as well as a
similarly small theory of a
sliding scale on capital gains.
This Interpretation OF the
agreement is causing more COM
ment in the congressional cloak
rooms than any other.
There the compromise is gen.
orally regarded as more Of a
victory for Senator Harrison
and Bernard Baruch than for
the President.

Brought to the Wisconsin CAPT.

"A national third party is in

declared when asked his opinion.

all right in developing collec.
tive bargaining. it has gotten a
little ahead Of itself on wages.
Only through wage adjustments
in some industries will the basis
for expanded production be laid,
but any changes must be made
only on basis Of hiring more
men for more work.
Suggests Different Tone
A S to the attitude of business,
IA the new tax bill may help
correct the situation. The Presi-
dent could help further by
adopting a different tone. The
President should stop saying:
Business, through monopoly,
crooked practices, ETC., has been
rocking the people. You so-and-
sos had better stop"
Instead he should say: "You
liberal clear-thinking business
men realize as well as I do
that sweat shops must be abol-
ished, that consumption must be
increased, that starvation wages
must be raised, that more people
must be put to work. So we are
going to get together. We are
going to pass a wage-hour bill,
We are going to cooperate in
asking Congress to regulate
monopoly, etc." (This is the
same adviser still speaking.)
Significant also is the third
point, upon which, this adviser
holds that too many Govern
ment bureau men and commits
