McNutt Versus Taft
If the Two Most Active Candidates Win

in the field down there that brings
home the bacon, and it may be
that Marshall's forehanded cultiva-
ton of fruitful contacts" will play
decisive part in the nominating
convention. Marshall's role Is anal
ogous to that of Rush Holland, an
other former Assistant Attorney
General, in the Hoover pre-conven-
ton campaign of 1923. Holland
picked up neat packet of SO South
ern delegate votes for Hoover.
McNutt Nesting Up to New Dealers.
On the other side of the political
fence the most interesting and sig
niticant development of the last few
weeks has been Candidate McNutt's
nesting up to the inner New Deal
ers. Every effort is being made by
McNutts friends and the candidate
himself to "sell" him to this group,
and there are signs of progress in
that direction.
Many competent observers in
Washington believe that the "tall,
tanned and terrific" McNutt, as
some one has aptly dubbed him, is,
next to Roosevelt, the most formi-
dable candidate or potential candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton. To hear the McNutt people
tell 1t, he is already in. He will
have the Roosevelt suppuct, they
say, because Roosevelt doesn't really
want to run again and sees in Nc
Mutt the strong man needed to
preserve the Roosevelt policies. He
will also have-again quoting the
McNutt followers-large support
among the more conservative ele-
ments OF the party. BY process
OF elimination they arrive at Nc
Mutt as the candidate on whom the
dissident wings of the party will
get together in the convention.
While McNutt pushes his cam
paign in Washington and by such
trips as one to New York City this
week to talk with political leaders,
his manager, Frank McHale of In
diana, is beating the bushes for
delegates, as Jim Farley did for
Roosevelt in 1872.
There's lot of wishful thinking.
of course, in the McNutt claims.
1t is yet to be seen, for example,
whether he will have the Roose-
velt Endorsement. And Jim Far
ley's dislike of him, which so far
as known remains unabated, re-
mains barrier in his way. With
all its disabilities and unknown
quantities, however, the McNutt
candidacy appears to be making
headway. If it collapses the failure
will be due neither to lack of hard
work nor to any want of political
shrewdness.

tireless turkey tasters are taking a

For weeks they have been at their

persons, is one of the easiest and

All they have to do, you say, is
just sit there and eat turkey. They

there's more to it than meets the

of, charting the Social Register

a job as skippering ship through
the mine fields of the North Sea.
Again it comes safely to port, with
its novice all ship-shape, thanks to
its supercargo, a fragile little maiden
lady, rarely identified, never seen
in public, except at church, never
interviewed and as aloof from out
side influence as the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court.
She is Miss Bertha M. Eastmond,

Hyphens in or out There is a
ghoStly committee somewhere in the
background, to help in the selections
or dlsbarments, but Miss Eastmond
picks the committee and there is
no appeal from her final decision.
Louis Keller, small, deaf, sandy
haired man with a weeping willow
mustache, founded the Social Regis
ter in the COS and it was and
is business. Miss Eastmond,
whose father is said to have been a
railroad employe in Summit, became
his secretary. She had learned
stenography at Cooper Union and
was precise, swift, diligent and the
mistress of copper-plate accuracy in
handling names and initials.
Perhaps more important, in this
uniquely specialized work, was her
innate sense of propriety. When
Mr.. Keller died in 1923, he left the
Social Register in the hands of Miss
Eastmond and his nephew, Charles
Keller Beekman of Oyster Bay. She
is an impalpable, of-stage presence,
with power to exalt or cut down, but
hers would be the barren scepter of
Macbeth if she used it other than as
a willow-wythe to point out the So

political trade. Who would get it
under those circumstances is any,
bodys guess.
Either Taft or McNutt or both of
them may slip. 1t was not Wood
or LoWden who got the Republican
first prize in 1920, but the obscure
Harding. Out of the Madison
Square Garden brawl of the Demo-
Gratis in 1924 it was neither Smith
nor McAdoo who emerged as the
nominee, but John w. Davis. All
that Is said here of the coming race
is that the candidate who is most
eagerly trying to guide the hand of
destiny on the Democratic side is
the brash McNutt, and that the most
industrious of the Republican hope
fuls is the son of William Howard
Taft.
Taft Is Busy.
While Vandenberg remains qui-
escent and Dewey still ponders the
words he will use in his first speech
on national issues, Senator Taft

trip that will take him into half a

ayers have high hopes of corralling.
Senator Taft's present campaign
tour is continuation of the junket
which he made last summer to the
Pacific Coast and interrupted in
order to come back to the special
session of Congress. Early next
month he will carry his personal
campaign into New England.
But it is not merely this going
about the country that betokens the
determined character of the Taft
drive for the Republican nomina-
ton. 1t is also the fact that active
efforts are under way to line up
Southern delegates for the Senator.
In charge of this important phase
of his campaign is the astute John
Marshall of West Virginia and the
District, who was an Assistant At

the fact that a uasi-governmenta
institution in America has begun to
assume some of the functions of a
fiscal agent has developed criticism.
1t is no part of the duty of
neutral government to facilitate the
handling of war supplies of either
belligerent, even the transfer of
registry of American ships to other
neutral flags, though wholly legal,
has been frowned upon here. Yet
at the same moment the admins
tration is permitting the biggest of
the Federal Reserve Banks, which
is really the operating center of the
Federal Reserve System, to do some
of the things which commercial
banks are supposed to do.
The reason for designating the
New York Federal Reserve Bank is
undoubtedly to meet another kind
of criticism, namely that fiscal
agents made money out of the last
war. Various reports are current
that President Roosevelt himself
Informally vetoed the plan of the
allies to use private banking houses
in New York to act as purchasing
agents or fiscal repositories.
Precedents At Stake.
Thus, in order to stave off one
kind of criticism, the administration
has permitted itself to be drawn into
another. There would be, inciden-
tally no Immortality in allowing any
American banking firm to make a
brokerage fee, but there are a good
many international law precedents
which indicate very clearly that a
neutral government should not
touch the financial transactions of
q belligerent.
1t is true that the law prohibits
credits by private banks to foreign
governments, but there is nothing
in the law to prevent foreign COM
panies from keeping deposits in the
American banks or purchasing to be
done directly by British corporations
through American banks. The
commercial banks of the United
States are in a much better posi-
ton to aid American producers and
to keep in touch with the flow of
orders so they may gear their pro-
duction accordingly than are the
usually secretive Federal Reserve
banks. To conflne the fiscal opera
tions of all purchasers on behalf of
the British and French governments
to the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York introduces a new form
of competition which was never
contemplated when the Federal Re-
serve Act was passed.
Congress May Consider Issue.
The present arrangement may, of
course, be temporary, but it is sus-
pected here that political WASH
ington is afraid to let the New York
banks perform their normal func-
tions in assisting foreign purchases.
When Congress reconvenes in Janu-
ary, however, there may be ques-
tions raised as to why the Federal
Reserve banks are in any way as
sisting the belligerent governments
in maintaing accounts for them in
the United States.
Strictly speaking, the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York does not
act as purchasing agent for any
foreign government, but the close
relationship that is inevitable as
between the Federal Reserve Board
and the belligerent governments
when the Reserve Bank in New
York is being used as a depositary
may open up new questions of
whether the spirit, if not the letter,
of the neutrality law is not being
violated by such operations.
