The English Capture Washington

The King and Queen of Great
Britain received as warm welcome
in the Capital of the United States
as they did in Ottawa, the Capital
of their greatest Dominion. The dis
play of British flags in Washington
indicated that all the sore spots of
century or more ago have been
healed, as the young King and
Queen were joyously acclaimed by
the rulers and people of the United
States.

THIS WEEK in WASHINGTON
J. E. Jones

Washington, ID. c., June ia
series of attempts to bring the Ad-
ministration and Congress closer to-
gether have failed. The President
was successful in securing all the
appropriation that he recommended
for military preparedness and arma-
ment. But that was about the
only instance in which party lines
faded and the forces of Government
acted unitedly for a common pur-
pose. The New Deal relief plan STIR
red up an endless amount of bag
Cling, and criticism. Even at this
late date the Congress is discussing
the question of returning most of
the authority TO the states and local
communities and President Roos-
evelt is on the war-path against
changing the present system
Little need is expected in the way
of revision or lowering of taxation
despite the fight that is going on in
Washington at the present time.
The Government deficit will be be-
tween and 4 billion dollars this
year. Heavy taxation must be ex-
pected.

Both Knew Business

A professional beggar once some
how got to the millionaire seated in
his office. "But this won't do" said
the wealthy one, "you can't disturb
me this way. See my secretary, fill
out blank, it will be investigated
and in due course of time you will
hear from me-" "Mr. -" re-
piled the beggar, "all this is very
well, and you may know your own
business-but credit me with this.
I also know my own business. I am.
here-what will you do for me?"

National Politics

Secretary Harold Ickes demands a
third term for President Roosevelt
and in his article in Look magazine
he takes Vice-President Garner,
Secretary of State Hull and Post
master General Farley on rough
ride, because those three gentlemen
are candidates for the Democratic
nomination. The New Deal view
point is correctly expressed by Ickes
who says that there is nobody but
Roosevelt to succeed Roosevelt.
Opposed to this idea are the anti
Roosevelt leaders and other members
of the Democratic party. They are
a powerful minority and think
it quite possible that they may
snatch the control of their party
away from the New Deal. Only time
can answer this ambitious decision.
One would think by the way the
Republicans in and out of Congress
talk that they expect to elect the
next President. AS usual, the wish
may be the father of the hope
The meaning of all these matters
is found in the fact that the Presi-
Dental campaign of 1910 is 'just
opening-up." T g old-fashioned
methods are used in attacks upon
the second-term President in office.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made his record,
and all of his political enemies are
uniting in their attempts to prove
that his programs have failed.

CONGRESS FIXES NO DATE

No one knows when Congress
will adjourn, and President Roos-
evelt who asked the legislature lead
ers for information on that subject
has announced that he has put Off
his trip west, because there are
important matters that he wants
to clear up before he leaves the Ma
tional Capital.
Capitol Hill is in somewhat of a
quarrelsome mood as attempts are
continued to bring about harmony
with reference to important legisla-
ton. Most observers believe that
talk lof adjournment, early in July,
is apt to be extended month or SO
beyond that period.
