"ae took 1t as I thought he would.' remarked the President, referring to Hague, "like the good sport that he is."
 Ernest confirmed this by telling the President that when the American Civil Liberties Union held Its first meeting in Jersey City after the Supreme Courts decision, Mayor Hague not only gave them perfect police protec- ton, but Chief of Police Casey counsel of the Civil Liberties Union, and inquired:
 "Is everything satisfactory, MT. Britchey?" t..
 Britchey, intending a wise- crack, said: "There's a truck over there making a lot of noise."
 70. K.," replied the police chief, "IIl see that 1t steps," CTO-HAGUE MARRIAGE
 Most significant thing that is happening in Jersey City is @ new rapprochement between the CIO and Mayor Hague. Once bitterest of enemies, the CIO spent large amount of money to beat Hague's senatorial candidate last fall, threw all its weight be- hind ponderous Warren Barbour.
 Barbour made liberal. labor speeches and was elected. Once in the senate however, he has been against almost every labor bill. So, thanks to the Supreme Court and Morris Ernst, John L. Lewis and Mayor Hague have kissed and made up. They are now work ing together for a Roosevelt delegation from New Jersey in 1940. FASCIST COTTON
 Toughest backstage battler against dumping 100000 bales of cotton in the lap of General Franco via the Export-1mport Bank is Secretary of the Treas ury Morgenthau. ,,
 Henry has several sound rea- sons for opposing the deal. One is that the Spanish Fascist govern ment is now suing the Federal Re- serve Bank of New York to re- cover the silver with the Span- ish Loyalist government sold to the United States before Franco came into power. Franco Is sure to lose this suit.
 But what Treasury experts fear is that if Franco gets his cot- ton, he will then turn around and put In a counter-cla against the United States for silver, as Russia and Mexico have done In various deals. Then he can refuse to repay the cotton credits on the ground that the U. S. owes him a lot of silver. ......
 State Department boys are pushing the cotton deal hard. Henry Wallace also would like to get rid of the cotton. They say that If Franco doesn't get cot- ton from the United States, he will turn to India.
 Morgenthau, however, thinks that if India wants to lose the money, 1t should be gwen that privilege. He doesn't see much sense in getting rid of cotton just for the sake of getting rid
 of 1t, especially to a Fascist country, and especially if the present prospects of war make 1t almost certain that it will never be paid for.
 If the deal goes through, Franco will have 300,0O0 bales of Franco will have 300,000 bales for munitions manufacture, and the Export-Import Bank will have a piece of paper.
