Congress Takes Bit in Teeth to

no man ever had the complete con-
fidence Of q people as the new
President held it. Congress did a<
it was told, thereafter. OF course
there were ups and downs but the
scene was dominated by the per-
sonality Of Mr.. Roosevelt, condi-
ton that continued through about
six years.
That brings us to the mistakes In
politics which Mr.. Roosevelt made
in INSTRUMENTATION Of the gov
eminent proposed expanding Of the
Srpreme court by appointment Of
six justices Of his own choosing
charges that business leaders were
attempting to submarine the New
Deal policy and destroy the Roose-

beginning. In quick succession
there came important gains for the
Republicans in the 1898 elections

Gratis that their seats in congress
were being jeopardized by mis-
takes of various New Deal agen-
cies and laws, and in general 8
doubt that their party should be al

To Assume Leadership
And I believe it is the later con.

congressional determination to take

the conviction that many mem.
bers of the house and senate fee

and that, to accomplish this, they
must assume national leadership In.
stead of leaving the policies to b.
theorized and blue-printed by suct
as Jerome Frank, Thurmund Arm.

Is only saying numerous house ant
senate members believe the country
has lost confidence in that sort O.
leadership.
Only recently, 1t may be recalled
Mr.. Roosevelt voiced an assurance
that business would have no new
taxes to burden it. He spoke con
fidently about the future. Others
rejecting the Presidents position
including Secretary Hopkins ant
Secretary Ickes spoke pieces Of al
assuring nature. This Is the same
Mr.. Hopkins who used to be heat

ically, Senator Harrison demanded
q curtailment Of spending, start
toward balancing Of the national
budget, in the belief that the whole
country is fearful Of the gigantic
national debt.
Shows Days Of Rubber
Stamp Congress Are Gone
The foreign policies Of the adj
ministration were dragged out onto
the floor of the senate for examin-
alton under a magnifying glass. OF
course, the senate did not force
any real change in the information
al relations which Mr.. Roosevelt
has established. From long Obser-
Walton in Washington I doubt that
the senate,s criticism Of these
policies was any too sound, but 1t
had to engage in debate on the sub
ject to let the country know 1t was
watching everything that was be-
ing done. It obviously had the eff
feet of demonstrating to the coun-
try that the days of the rubber
stamp congress are gone, and 1t
constitutes another bit of evidence
Of the new Washington leadership.
The real demonstration Of con-
gressional vitality, however, came
the other day when Senator Harri-
son, as chairman of the senate fl
nance committee, and Representa-
tive Doughton Of North Carolina,
as chairman Of the house commit
tee on ways and means, joined in a
letter to Secretary Morgenthau, re-
questing a treasury statement on a
tax program. The two COMPRESSION
al leaders urged new and sound
tax program and an administra-
ton reinsurance against further
heckling of business to the end that
business would try to go ahead.
What they were asking, therefore,

wAsHINGTON-The dictionary
d.fines the word, confidence" as
S.onin4 trust in, or reliance
.,non another; a belief in a person
~ : thing" The dictionary might
",.,i have added that confidence Is
."orethinR quite Intangible but yet

I'VE added, further that conf
nee can be destroyed more easily
tran It can be maintained or re-
lated when it once has been des-
tr,yed.
IN any event the thing about
lich we have heard most in Wash
j. ton lately is the necessity for
ablishing a feeling of confidence
throughout the country. The neces-
s:y exists it is explained freely,
.ause the depression continues
aid millions Of persons, who would
l:,-e to work, are not working. In
s-ne places, where political face
sewing is important, the movement
is called business appeasement,'
hit that is a difference between
trysedle-dee and tweedle-dum. It
rsnains as an effort to recreate
national confidence so that all OF
the vast resources of the nation
can be made available again for
all Of the people.
All Of this Is only a prelude to
the declaration that:
CONGRESS has taken the bit In Its
teeth with determination that In
dica&es rather q unified effort to
restore the country's confidence. It
apparently Is going to guide the po-
licies and work out solutions for the
various problems that are viewed
as destructive of a feeling OF as
aarance among the bulk Of the pe0-
pie. In other words, congress seems
to have assumed a leadership In
national life that it has not had In
recent years, and is moving sin
ceeely to bring back prosperity.
