The Political Mill
American Politics Bids for Interest
Despite Situation Abroad

their present attitude Is not to be
construed as an abandonment of
their opposition to many Of the New
Deal laws and much Of their ad-
ministration. But, nevertheless, the
country will regard the victory in
this fight as q victory for the Presi-
dent and as building up his prestige.
After Repeal Fight.
After the repeal fight has been
won, what then? Just what the sit
uation will be is not entirely pre-
dictable. It is logical to expect,
however, that other administration
measures will be put forward. and
that it will be argued that, In the
emergency, the hands Of the Presi-
dent must be upheld. Other "emer-
gency powers" may be demanded at
the hands OF Congress, although
there exist today a long list of such
powers which the President may
exercise If he deems it wise. Under
existing laws he has the power to
control all radio stations, close all
banks, close all stock exchanges and
forbid for 90 days at q time the sale
Of all stocks and bonds, prohibit
the export Of coal and other war
materials, suspend the 8-hour law
on Federal contracts. within certain
limits. revalue the dollar. reduce the
weight of the silver dollar, and to do
many other things.
Supporters of the renominatio Of
the President insist that the tradi-
tional opposition to third term for
Presidents will subside II war con-
ditions that now prevail continue
to exist-and certainly If the United
States is drawn into the war. There
are other Democrats, however, who
do not take this view-and some Of
them continue to say that it would
be extremely unwise for the Demo-
cratic party to 60 into the presiden-
tial race next year with the third
term as an issue-especially when
they don't have to. And some of
them say emphatically there is no
man in any political party for whom
they would vote for third term.
Admit denomination Possible.
II the Democrats should be intent
upon renominating the President
and he should prove to be willing
which may be extremely doubtful
many of those who now are op-
posed to his denomination admit
that he can be fenominated. In
that case, the only struggle In the
Democratic National Convention will
be for the vice presidential nomi-
which Vice President
Gamers friends have made it
clear he will not again take. Pre-
however, the President will
have the big say in the selection of
his running mate. He might turn
then to McNutt of Indiana, Gov.
Stark Of Missouri, Senator Barkley
Of Kentucky, or any one of q dozen
other gentlemen. He could not pick
Postmaster General Farley or any
other New Yorker since the Consti-
tuition prohibits the election of both
President and Vice President from
the same State.

loans. There are two MAJOR con-
siderations. One is to make the
loans easy to obtain. That is for
the policy holders benefit and to
make the holding of policies an ad-
vantage. But the other is TO make
the interest rate high. so that the
borrower will have an incentive to
pay off the loan, thereby clearing
his policy, and thus maintain the
maximum of insurance protection,
which of course is the main object
of the policy, and the main business
Of the company.
New Dealers do not like the high
rate, because one of the detectives
of New Deal economics is to put
interest rates down. This policy has
already hurt the insurance compa-
MES enormously. II has reduced
the interest rate on bonds which
formerly paid much greater sums
into the insurance company treasur-
les. AS natural result, this has
reduced very heavily the dividends
paid TO policy holders, or credited
on their policies in the form of add
tional insurance.

Terrific Failing of of
Investment in Ilfilifies

Not only has New Deal policy re-
duced the rate of interest on gov
eminent bonds, but il has reduced
the interest on the bonds of private
corporations. This phase was
planned that way. But another
phase was not. Yet as result of
government competition with the
electric industry there was a terrific
falling off of new investment in the
utilities, and as result of S. E. c.
restrictions and other New Deal ac-
tivtes, private corporations issued
SO few new bonds that it became a
problem for the insurance compa-
MES, or for that matter any inves-
tors, to place their funds.
AS result, bonds already out
standing, which were known to be
good, advanced in price, thus low
ering the return on any new pur-
chases that the insurance companies
might make.
Aiken Sfirs Bitterness
Inside Netu Deal Circles
There is more bitterness inside
: New Deal circles over the stand
taken by Gov. George D. Aiken of
Vermont on the flood control and
power situation than is generally
realized. The real tip-of of the
feeling is revealed in the outburst
on the floor of the house, just after
Aiken took his stand, by Rep. John
<. Rankin of Mississippi.
Rankin charged that Aiken was
making bid for the Republican
presidential nomination, with the
backing of the New England power
trust
Rep. Charles A. Plumley of YER
mont defended his governors atti-
tude, saying that it was a question
OF whether the federal government
had a right to take state property
without the states consent.
Actually neither presented the
whole picture, and the White House
is not giving it either. Boiled down,
New England has a serious flood
problem. 1t is bigger than any one
state. HeadWaters in both New
Hampshire and Vermont pour into
rivers, particularly the Connecticut,
which flood out territory in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut.
Hence there is plenty of reason
for regarding this whole Connecticut
valley as one problem, and a fed
eral problem, rather than problem
for the individual states concerned.
Actually there would be no dispute
about this if it were not for the pow
er angle.
Would Make Connecticut
ValIey Miniature T. v. 4.
But the New Deal would like to
make miniature iva of the Con-
necticut valley. Whether it goes far
or not, it is determined to control
the power situation involved in any
dam construction for the purpose of
flood relief. The purposes of the
administration are perfectly simple.
1t wants to handle that power. 1t
wants to fix rates somewhat COM
