Not since that dramatic day in
March 1888 when President Roose-
welt, having taken his oath of Of
flee issued the Bank Holiday pro-
clamation as the first act of his
ADMINISTRATION, has the New Deal
been in so difficult a position as
it is now. And never, politically
speaking has New Deal power and
prestige been at so low an ebb.
That, at least, is the opinion of
practically all newspapermen and
~puhiicists, including those who
support the Roosevelt Administra-
ton as we'll as those who oppose
it. The president personally may
still hold a high place in the es-
TEEN of the people. But some of
the most important of the re
forms" and experiments" which
he fathered have fallen on extre-
mely evil days.
In the words of Time, the Pres
ident has recently taken "a series
of blows such as no President OF
the U. S. ever suffered and survl-
ved.o First blow was the strong
congressional fight against renew
his powers over money. The Presi-
dent side-stepped this, and won
the round by a marrow margin.
Then came the neutrality battle,
and the definite refusal of the
Senate to give him the free hand
in foreign policy which he and
Secretary Hull thought necessary.
Never did a President fight harder
to gain what he wished. But, as
Vice-President Garner is reported
to have told his chief, the votes

Dang and the Corridor. What
will happen then is any mans
guess.
1t is widely said that if no war
breaks out before October, the
chance of war occurring at any
time in the comparatively near
future will be greatly reduced.

simply couldn't be mustered.


Congress was not yet through
with its undeclared war on the
White House. The Administra-
TONS $4,000, 900 900 "self-liquida-
ting" lending and spending pro-
gram was a mere shadow of itself
after it had run the gamut of
congressional resolutions and a
mendments. The foreign credit
proposal was deleted. A clause
was inserted barring loans for
projects competing with private
business. Proposed appropriations
were cut all along the line. Even
the words "Self Liquidating'
were removed, by Committee de-
mand, from the bills title.
Worst blow of all, perhaps from
the political point of view, came
with the passage of the Hatch
bill. introduced last session by
Senator Hatch the measure had
been buried in Committee. This
session Representative Demsey
went to work and forced it out in
to the open. Gist of the bill is to
make it illegal for any federal of
fice-holders, with certain excep-
tons such as the President, his
aides, cabinet members, ETC., to
use their job influence to raise
none or to influence votes. 1t is
obvious what this means to any
federal political machine. 1t means
that political control will largely
depart from Washington to be-
come conferred in state capitals
and other local subdivisions. 1t
means that comparatively few
federal jobholders will be dele
gates to the next Democratic NOM
mating convention, where close
to half were at the last conven-
ton. 1t means that the Presidents
direct power over the Democratic
party has been greatly reduced.
And even this wasn't all. I'M
mensely important New Deal crea-
ton is the National Labor Reia-
tons Board. And the House voted,
by almost two-to-one majority, to
investigate it to discover whether
it has unduly favored workers
over employers, has exceeded It's
lawful powers, and has favored
the Clio over the AT of l..
This isn't all there is to Con-
gress' revolt against the New
Deal, but it touches the high
spots. Of immense Importance is
the fact that the opposition comes
principally from within the party.
The Democrats are literally torn
asunder. Leadership, especially IN
the Senate, has largely collapsed
and party discipline is almost non
existent. Party whips have given
up, discouraged, during recent
weeks when trying to get "the
boys into line.
On the Republican side of the
fence, the votes, of course have
been cast against the New Deal.
But the Republicans have rarely +,
taken the offensive in fighting
proposed legislation. Instead, they
have followed the plan laid down
by canny Majority Leader McNary
had a hard time keeping his men
under control. But he did, and the
wisdom of his plan, in the view
of hardened political observers,
has been proven. New Dealers
cannot say their program was
sabotaged by the opposition party
as they could have if Republicans
had been in the first line trenches
