NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MD RoosEyELTs BUSINESS MEN

Because Mr. Roosevelt, and his industrial wreck
ing crew. are continually trying to smear and dis
credit the trained and experienced executives VINO
have made this the greatest and most prosperous
country in the world, it Is proper that an analysis
he made of the fitness, training and experience OF
those whom he would substitute, to control the des

them.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: The son of a
wealthy parent, who thought so little OF his aoty

offices which he has held since reaching mans es-
tate. His two principal business ventures were 40

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WTASHINGTON.-Thc likelihood
w that an anti-New Dealer will
capture the governorShip in
Roosevelt'S home state of New
York. usually considered the Sec
ond most important political job
in the nation, is casting shadow
in Washington.
No one processes to be able to
see very clearly into the future
up there. But it is significant that
Assistant Attorney General Rob-
ert H. Jackson, Roosevelt's candi-
date for the governorship who is
about to become solicitor general
of the United States, is making no
active effort for the Democratic
nomination.
Politicians here are increasingly
ixclined to believe that Gov. Her.
bert Lehman will seek renomina-
ton. This may sound queer to
those who remember how Roose-
welt had to beg jim publicly to
get on the ticket in 1886, but
lehman yearns to be a U. S. SEN
ator.
Efforts to persuade Senator
Bob Wagner TO run for COVER
nor and let Lehman have the SEN
atorial nomiy. alton having failed,
it now appears Lehman prefers to
stay in Albany so as to be in a
position to run against Senator
Copeland in 1910.
Lehman broke formally with
Roosevelt during the Court fight,
but insiders know that this merely

the possible excer tons of Jackson
and Jim Farley, either of whom
would need full and whole
hearted support from Roosevelt,
Lehman would be the only New
York Democrat who would have a
chance of beating racket-busting

publican nomination. Dewey has
said that he isn't interested. but

INFLUENCING THE PEOPLE TO BUY

Whether the President, or anybody else can do
anything about prices when these begin to move
UP or down under the irrepealable law OF supply
and demand, may be open to question ~
But there is no doubt as to the physiological
value of the effort he is now trying to make to put
ground under commodity prices and TO see to
it that they stabilize at some point above given
low, =
1t would help business immensely if the public
should be made to believe that prices are as low
they are going to be.
in that event, buying would pick up at once and
when buying is active, employment increases fac
tories reopen, operations augmented, trade
| flows and commerce is stimulated.
The President is psychologist enough to know
.nat IL ne can get this idea over, and the people
De given some practical basis for acting they will

Attorney General John Renrett
is seeking the Democratic no;ni-

politicians that he is likely 20 IL

Farley himself would like TO h.

THE senate's filibuster on the
l. anti-lynching bill cost more
than 100000, if one accepts the
apparently reasonable estimate OF
$4,000 a day made by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
It's just plain argument whether
failure to pass other legislation in
this period represented further
cost or an actual saving to the
country. Many filibusterers sat
content in the thought that they
were also filibustering against
other legislative schemes. rDsa..,

WHAT A GANG TO CONTROL A NATION

The very idea of the leadership principle when
is supposed to be incorporated in the Hitler regime
is obviously flouted by the way il which the regime
works out The characteristics of leadership are
courage independence, originality, creative ability
and intelligence, and given free society, these
qualities come to the top and have opportunity
to assert themselves But precisely the opposite OF
these qualities are regarded under the dictator
ships What gets you into office in the relationships
and keeps you there is the intrigue, sycophancy,
political conformity, obsequiousness to those above
YOU and the Willingness to scramble up the faces
of those below you.
But the sum total Of these qualities is not ma
tional strength. Germany now has as commander
in-chief of the army neurstlc Austrian eX-lance
corporal and house painter. Its entire economic
life is regmented and controlled under that mas
ter economist General Goering, an ex-aviator. Its
religious philosophy is dictated by White Russian
fanatic and pseudo-Nietzchean, Alfred Rosenberg
Its culture is controlled by fourth-rate coffee
house intellectual" Dr. Goebbels And It's foreign
affairs are in the hands of frivolous Nazi career
list and former champagne salesman, Mr.. Rloben-
trop, who, during his stay at the German Embassy
in London, displayed almost genius for awaken
ing distaste for himself and the regime he repre-
scented.
And looming above them all and feared by them
ALL is the head of the secret political police path
illogical sadist Mr.. Himmler, the very sight of
whom is likely to make an old-line German officer
reich.
And this sextet is supposed to represent the
leadership of powerful renascent nation!
This is what personal government shakes down
to in the end intrigue; internecine hatred; Jeal-
ouses; overwhelming fear that the loss of single
personal advantage may mean death and OBLIVION;
and eventually the total failure of the single thing
that personal government is supposed to promote:
efficiency The able and the brave perish. Fourth
raters with sufficient ruthlessness come to the top
and keep themselves there by more ruthlesSness'
In the middle of the army crisis, the German
people are treated to a speech by DR.. Goebbeis
saying that there is conspiracy of German-JeWlSh
mliners to ruin the artificial flower industry by
creating small hats with no room on them Tor How
ers? Presumably Germany is to be saved by daisy
chains-Gen. Hugh Johnson in Charlotte News

preston of "big business" reminds
me of the "little business" men
Secretary Roper was supposed to
have listened to recently n
Washington in order to get the
low-down on what ails the coun-
try. Except for the relief clients
in the delegation, | am inclined to
think that the fellows represent
ing little business were not there.
To us, those fellows were big
guns.
My heart goes out for the lit
tie business man who holds HIM
self and the world together. He
has a small business and there
from keeps up his family and one
CT more others. Total capital in
volved is probably $1,000 at the
most. He tugs and tolls day and
night, giving little heed to night
or Sunday hours. He has no re-
serves to set aside, no tax to pay
on excess profits or undistributed
dividends. He endeavors to be
honest but Old Pete is right down
on his heels from opening to clos

they want to know what's the
matter with business.
