WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK

WASHINGTON, Aug. FITTINGS a young
man learns about the capital-but not by look
ing at buildings:
That high government officials are not al
ways trying to throw a smoke screen over the
other fellows point of view sometimes bend
over backwards not to. When Corden Hull is
sued a statement recently on the Havana con-
ference Outlining many dangers BY which he
believed this hemisphere beset) he had it
ready two days before release and asked
newspapers to hold it so it would not conflict
with report of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's ra-
dio address expressing views just opposite to
those held by the administration. Note: Pes
imists said phooey . Mr.. Hull did not want
to take any of the play way from Gen. John
J. Pershing's speech which was much more
in line.)
That those long winded congressional COM
mittee hearings and equally long-winded de-
bates on the senate floor debate in the house
is limited and representatives have to take to
the radio if they want to spout at length) are
not just for blowing off steam. They are the
lodestones by which lawmakers test public re-
action. Often bills that start out as if they are
going through without a hitch turn up on the
floor in an entirely altered form as committee
hearings result in an overwhelming public
reaction.

HOW LOBBIES WORK

That lobbyists are a recognized part Of our
form Of lawmaking in spite Of the stigma at
tached to the title because of the graft and
abuses through the years. Often, it is the man
or group that hires the lobbyist who is bilked.
Many lobbyists carry no weight whatever,
are considered pests.
The most effective Hobbies are the pressure
trombone lobby and the society lobby. OBJ
servers agree that the latter doesn't carry the
weight 1t used to when society meant more in
American life. But the top-hat and tiara sys-
tenn still works well in some cases. The pres
sure-from-home method is probably tops. A
representative or senator pays more attention
to mail and kilograms. from his constituents
than to anything else. After all, they are the
ones who butter his bread. The flaw in the
pressure-from-home lobby is that a lot of sem
ators and representatives have taken to check
ing up on the senders Of said kilograms and
letters and woe be to the legislation that is to
be baked or put over if the senders are dis
covered to be phoney.
THOSE SPEECHES o HEAR
That the speeches delivered by government
officials, members of congress, administration
quently are NOT written by the men who de.
liver them. Delivering a speech is one thing,
but writing it is another. Often good speakers
lack the knack of setting them down. Some
times pressure of business prevents a man de-
voting time to writing a speech. In nearly all
instances, the speakers confer with the auth
ors, give them an outline of their ideas and
let it 60 at that.
