ton and collaboration, in the liberal
temper, which exudes light"
The President chose struggle. And
today finds him, temporarily at least,
lost leader.
What happened on Friday has been
approaching remorselessly and inexor-
ably.
1t has been approaching from the
very beginning OF the Presidents Sec
ond term.
Wanted Liberal Government.
And it has come about because Of
a fantastic failure, on the part of a
brilliantly gifted man, to understand
the temper of the most powerful group
IN this country-the middle classes.
These classes did their share to re-
elect the President. These classes did
their part in affirming that they were
finished with the new era, finished
with laissez-faire in respect to the
underprivileged, finished with the
overWeening powers exerted by big
business and finance. They wanted
liberal government.
But less than a month after Mr.
Roosevelt's second inaugura ton it be-
came apparent that they did not be-
lieve that they had given him a per-
sonal or a blanket mandate. 1t became
apparent that they had not made a
permanent popular front with the ex-
IRENE left. 1t became apparent that
they wished liberal government to
rest upon the traditional basis of
constitutional government, of checks
and balances and limited powers. 1t
became apparent that they intended
to continue functioning as citizens,
and had not suspended their critical
faculties for four years, nor issued a
blank check for whatever measures
the President and his advisers might
cook up overnight. 1t became apparent
that. although they had voted for
social reform, they had not voted for
social or political revolution.
AS certainly as it appeared, to any
one OF political intuition, that the
President would be reelected over
Whelmingly in November, so certain
was it that his bill for the reorgani-
zatlon of the Supreme Court, intro
duced at the beginning of February,
would bring him his first defeat.
Roosevelt the Second.
The people voted for Franklin Roose-
welt the First, the New Deal and
iberalized democracy Gradually,
since early February, 1887, they have
been realizing that what they have
gotten is a new President, Franklin
Roosevelt the Second, a new game,
instead of New Deal, and a camarilla
of anonymous legislators, no longer
quite so anonymous.
They voted for directed prosperity,
not for planned depression. They voted
for domestic unity, not for domestic
warfare. They voted for a popular
government, not for a popular front.
They voted to reconstruct the economy
Of private enterprise, not to dismember
it.
And gradually Congress-the Presi-
dents own Congress, made up of
the Presidents own supporters - has
been catching up on public opinion,
so far, unfortunately, almost entirely
in negative way. But up until now
the President has not caught up with
it. He has been resisting it.
1t is still possible that the Presi-
dent, who SO swift defeat was ap-
parently incubated in his brilliant
victory, may now draw victory again,

democracy and ready to prevent the
conflscation Of the peoples savings.
The fight is not over. In some re-
spects it is just beginning, but mile
stone on the road to better times
and stable government has been
reached and eternal vigilance is still
the price of liberty.

LAW TO CONTROL
FIREARMS URGED
Cummings Asks Measure
for Registering Pistols
and RevoIverS.

Declaring that "tomorrow's supply
OF guns for the underworld is today
in the hands of honest citizens" At
torney General Homer Cummings last
night urged passage of a law for
Federal control OF traffic In pistols
and revolvers.
Interviewed over a Nation net
work of the National Broadcasting
Co. by Rex Collier of the staff of The
Star, Mr.. Cummings charged that a
bill providing for such control has
been completely misrepresented to
the sportsmen Of the country" The
bill was introduced recently by Rep
resentative Doughton. Democrat, of
North Carolina at the request Of the
Attorney General.
He asserted sportsmen have been
led to believe, enormously, that the
proposed act would apply not only to
small arms but to rifles and shot
guns.
Sp0rtsmen Not Involved.
THE youngster can still shoot rab-
bits in the wood. the trap and skeet
guns are. untouched, the duck hunter
and the big game hunter need have
no concern" Mr.. Cummings said in
response to question
He said the only opposition to the
bill that has come to his attention
Is from munitions makers and GER
tain sportsmen's organizations. The
opposition of the munitions makers,
he said, is easy to Understandable is
a matter Of dollars and cents"
Mr.. Cummings explained that the
bill calls for registration of all pis-
tolls, revolvers and gas guns without
the necessity of paying tax or being
fingerprinted. With every sale of
such small arm, however. the pur-
chaser would pay Federal tax of 81
and submit his fingerprints.
Means Of Punishment.
He said he did not expect the crimi-
nal to register his guns. but that the
law would provide a means of pun
ishing him If caught with an un-
registered gun on his person
America has the highest homicide
rate of any of the important countries
Of the world, the Attorney General
asserted, with 8,400 citizens killed
every year by the illegal use of fire.
arms.
These are startling and appalling
facts" he said 1T would be shame
full to admit that We are incapable
of dealing with them"
The interview took place in the
studios Of Station WMAL.
