The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-05-12

That is the one factor to which
criticism ought to be applied. There
is no doubt in my mind at all that
the Presidents advisors, in drafting
the consolidation plan, or the Presi-
dent himself, lodged responsibility.
suppose it may have been too
much to expect, yet it does seem a
better job could have been done in
that direction. Why, for example,
was the reorganization of this phase
of government activities worked out
with nothing to show in the way of
abolition of some of these numerous
agencies? 1t appears to me that il
the eight or ten separate units that
have been brought into the federal
security agency were so closely re-
lated, then some of those units could
have been disbanded and such func-
tons as necessary could have been
lodged in the jurisdiction of the re-
naming bureaus. The same obser-
walton applies to the federal works
agency and the federal loan agency.
Federal Relief System
Remains Sore Spot
I believe the creation of federal
works agency will accomplish a
great deal of good, but it does not
solve one of the fostering sores, now
and long since showing on the body
polite. I refer to the federal relief
system. While there will probably
be no more of the fighting over
the backyard fence like tomcats, as
did Secretary Ickes and Harry Hop
kins, the plan No. does nothing to
wipe out the pernicious political
racketeering that Hopkins permit
ted as head of WPA. Nor does it
keep government money from being
literally forced down the threats of
towns for building public power
plants or for other uses, only to Gre
ate debt upon the shoulders of those
taxpayers, as Harold Ickes did.
There is nothing in the program
either that will eliminate the use of
federal funds, either through PWA
or WPA, in spreading the effect of
federal policies into state govern
ments. have written before of how
federal officials actually govern
states or counties or municipalities
by laying down rules which must be
met before the money has been
handed over.
It is certain, therefore, that as far
as public works is concerned and as
far as public relief from the fed
eral treasury is concerned, Mr..
Roosevelt has accomplished almost
nothing at all-except to make the
heads of the two units report to one
administrator who, in turn, will re-
port to the President. This makes
it appear, moreover, that a real
need exists for passage of the bill
drafted by Senator Byrnes, South
Carolina Democrat and one-time
staunch New Dealer, that would
place relief back in the hands of
the states.
Concerning a federal loan agency,
however, there ought to be praise.
That is, there can be better admin
istration, better coordination of pol
icy, if the President selects a sound
man to serve as its head.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-05-12

South Cardinals Sen. James F.
Byrnes, whose bill to place relief adj
ministration back in the states
hands is, according to MIR. Bruckart,
jeopardized by President ROosevelt's
governmental reorganization plan
for unifying and Strengthening fed
eral relief agencies.
Nearly all Of them have been re-
sponsible directly to the President,
or to the President and congress.
Many of them worked at cross pur-
poses; many overlapped, and there
was the attendant jealousy, conflicts
of authority, foolish resentment at
each others attempts to function.
It was evident that Mr.. Roosevelt
hoped the corralling Of these NAV
aerick agencies would add to the eff
cheney of the machinery. That must
be accepted as the fact because he
told congress there would be a saw
ing of only about $20,000,0 1000 annu-
ally. The anemic taxpayer, there
fore, gets nothing out of the picture.
Faults Will Accompany
Virtues in Mass Move
But what of those who previously
headed the independent, dangling,
wandering type of bureau or board
or commission? The plan proposes
to make them subject to new boss
somebody in between them and
the President. It does nothing more
than that. Close examination of
plan No. / seems, therefore, to
amount to a bodily transfer of each
of these setups, taking with them all
of their faults as well as all of their
good qualities. At the same time, it
is possible that such a grouping will
accomplish something not visible on
its surface. When several agencies,
now operating in their own spheres,
are brought under one general head,
there is a chance that some of the
overlapping of work will be elini-
mated. I mentioned at the outset
the difficulty of discovering these
conflicts. If they are brought togeth-
err, therefore, someone surely will
find them and eliminate them. If that
lis done, as it should be, there is
just twinkling light of a possible
saving to the taxpayer. One should
always remember, however, that
few government agencies once Gre
ated have ever been abandoned. The
jobholders are the best lobbyists in
the world.
Which brings us to the one definite
objection that ! have heard about
the Presidents plan No. /. That OBJ
lection is that nowhere in it is there
any effort made to reduce the scope
of government. Or, to express the
same thought in an affirmative man.
ner: Plan No. will perpetuate with
out exception every agency created
in the last 10 years under the guise
of emergency legislation, relief for
the destitute and business reform.

Chanlbcr|ain'S Reply To-

Of Heavy War Activities
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Oct. 26. - Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain to-
day replied to Ribbentrop's speech
in Parliament. He said, There can
be but one reply and we are pre-
pared to give it,.
Chamberlain bitterly struck
back at Won Ribbentrop saying
that the German minister had
failed to understand the English
policy or the English people.
Chamberlain also said that Ger
man subs are now sinking YES
sells without warning.
Meanwhile French patrols on
the western front were providing
around German lines attempting
to ascertain when the big often
sive of the Germans would be-
gin and through which section of
the line it would come.
Hitler today at the Chancellory
in Munich is holding conferences
with his generals planning the
war.
Russia today threw in it's bid
behind Germany in a plan to
give Germany all the raw ma
terials it will need to conduct
the war. Russia will also give
England what materials she
needs
Russia also declared that the
English contraband list was IL
legal.
Strong indications today were
that the American ship "City of
Flint" would be allowed to sail
out of Murmansk with the Ger
man prize crew which brought it
in. Germany, which first de-
clared that the vessel had no
charts with which to sail, now
says she had engine trouble. Rus
STA under international law can
harbor a vessel which has en-
CINE trouble.
Russia however has declared
that the crew of the Flint are
safe but has given no further de-
tails regarding the way in which
they have been treated.
Meanwhile Finland sent back
Russia's demands with the an
swer that the demands could not
be met by Finland. Rumors
throughout Europe have it that
the Russians will next demand a
