Mr.. Farley Meets the President

Mr. Roosevelt's confab with Jim Farley last week.
end is being hailed by New Dealers and oldine Demo-
effected between the President and his loyal manager of
two campaigns The Postmaster General they are say
ing realizes his hopes for the Presidency are mpos
sble and that f. D. R. is the only party chieftan with
more than equal chance Of beating Wendell Wlllne
in the elections this November.
The story sounds reasonable because it is almost
certainty that Postmaster Jim is too faithful to desert
his party the going gets rough. And ne was
obviously pleased after the conference with his chef
Though the break between the two has been widening
steadily for many MONTHS it has been no secret that
Farley has been unhappy about it, His criticism OF the
President has been based an honest disagreement
with certain New Deal policies and sincere d1sapproval
of the third term idea-not merely on selfish reasons
But the quarrel must have seemed bitterly grotesque
to the who worked so hard Tor Mr. RooseveiC since
his earliest campaigns.
On the other hand, it is unlikely that the President
has harbored any real bitterness against genial vm
He is too honest not to admit to himself that he owes
much to Farley He also is too good politician not 10
realize that this year there must be no breakup OF the
combination which was so successful in 32 and '36.
If the two are reunited, it's dollars to dough-
nuts that Mr. Roosevelt has decided to run again.
There is little chance that they could come to any real
agreement another candidate, with the possible ex
ception of CordeI Hull who has little desire for the
Presidency
Nothing vet is certain about what is in F. d. RS
mind as neither he Farley Is talking There
Is even more doubt as to who will get the second place
on the Democratic national ticket Mr. Garner, though
he would undoubtedly support Mr. Roosevelt, has
crossed swords with the New Dealers too often to GET
the nomination again even If he wants it. Mr. Hull
has been emphatic in letting it be known that he would
rather continue as Secretary of State than accept the
Vice Presidency Bob Jackson the Presidents choice
as his own successor, is an outside possibility

Propaganda Is Used
To Make People SLAVES

Some may ask why this dark out
look is emphasized and what basis
there is for it, beyond the explana-
tons already given. I think the
answer is simple. The drain OF war
preparation that has Teen made
upon all of those nations involved,
not to mention the tremendous ex-
penditure of men and money during
actual fighting, has left each race Of
peoples denuded. The dictators dare
not let revolutionary movements get
started. The steel boot will walk
across the bodies Of every person
who offers opposition to any order to
produce food and fiber. Propagan-
da will be used to convince those
peoples that it is their duty to their
homeland. Propaganda was success
full in working those people like
slaves. as Hitler did, in building up
the war machine.
We have seen some indication Of
this in Russia. The Soviet dictator
has decreed an extension of work
ing hours for all workers in Russia.
The people were told merely that
they win work many hours more.
They have to do it. or be shot.
It may be that the new Soviet or
der represents a renewed war prep
aration on the part of the Commu-
nists. None here knows the answer.
The fact remains, however, that
the great horde Of Russians are to
be driven like pillow mules into long
days of harsh labor-while the cheap
Communistic agitators in this coun-
try foment new strikes for short
hours and higher and higher pay.
It is a sour situation. But it il
very real, and it shows what die
tators can do.
All Of which seems to me to prove
that there Is q right important bat
tie In the United States that we had
better win. While administration
folks and partisan politicians shout
and create new hysteria about
military machine to defend us, I
hold to the idea that we had better
divide attention to defense Of the ma
ton into two phases. We had bet
ter prepare to defend within as well
as without.
It is tragic, Of course, that mil
lions of old people and women and
children are suffering in Europe. But
I rise to inquire whether they have
claim on our government ahead
of the folks who have become a part
Of America There have been a dozen
or more appeals from within this
country by which it has been sought
to make homes here for the desti-
tute and the unfortunate victims of
the European confiagration. The sen.
timent is fine but /, for one, still
believe in the old adage that Char.
ity begins at home" We should
eliminate suffering here first

WASHINGTON. = The Hitler ar
mistice terms that were imposed
upon France brings to this country,
and other nations Of the Western
hemisphere, the stark reality that
our whole business structure must
undergo drastic reorganization and
readjustment. It is a fact that can
no longer be ignored. We are face
to face with a situation that re-
quires our government and our eco
nonic leadership to look first, last
and all Of the time to the preserva-
ton of an American principle.
Whether we like it or not. the
terms forced down the throats Of the
French by Hitler and the gagging
added by the fatty Mussolini have
put the United States, its consuming
public, its workers and its general
commercial effort In a tough spot.
It is a situation in which we must
produce all Of the things we need,
and we need not plan on producing
more IMAM we mccall
To present one phase, one result
Of the economic destruction Of
France by the Hitler victory. it is
necessary only to point to what has
happened to the trade agreement
program arranged and defended al
ways by Secretary Cordell Hull Of
the department Of state. Secretary
Hull, to my mind. is the most sin
cere and honest individual Of the
Roosevelt administration. He con-
ceived and supported the trade
agreement plan because he believed
1t was the solution to many prob
lens arising between nations. It
was. he believed. q step toward
international peace because most Of
the International troubles start from
international trade jealousies.

Hitler's Peace Terms

We know only that. in general, all
Of frances sources of supplies win
pass into German control, or win
be managed under Hitler's Nazi pro-
gram. We do not yet know whether
there will be surrender Of all coloni-
al possessions. islands and the like.
Yet there is none so foolish as to
believe that Hitler will overlook the
opportunity Of directing the produc-
ton and trade Of every area which
may serve as cog in the great
Nazi economic machine.

U. S. Foreign Markets
Will Be Closed

To put the question bluntly: how
win the owners Of our steel mills
or our automobile factories or thou
sands Of other businesses be able
to compete with that kind Of labor?
Rates of pay in this country long
have been double and triple and
more above the European or Asiatic
rates. Our workers continue to seek
more and more of the share Of pro-
duction. But win the things they
produce ever reach a market,
except In the United States, when
Germans and French and italians
and Russians and Japanese and 9TH
ers are working for a few cents a
day7 l think not
Or take agriculture. Win Ameri-
can wheat or corn or fat hogs or
dairy products be sold in the mar
kets of the world at the cost of pro-
duction when the workers Of the die
tator nations are producing the same
things and being given perhaps only
enough food for living?
There could be countless other IL
mstrations offered. but these serve
to illustrate the steadily closing gap
through which our excess Of agri-
cultural products and manufactured
commodities heretofore have been
passing. I think the picture that Is
plainly visible now ought to compel
every government official and every
political party to turn thoughts to
the Ameri~nr problem.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-18

Foreign Funds Control of the treas ury.
 Quite apart from the general philosophy of this bill, it's uninten- tional inclusion of defense func- tions would require my disapproval at this time," he said.
 MT. Roosevelt's veto included 8 strongly -worded denunciation of repeated efforts by combination of lawyers who desired to have all processes of government conducted through lawsuits and of interests which desire to escape regulation" ," The bill, he said, emerged from this background.
 No Turning Back Clock
 while could not cor:scientious- ly approve any bill which would turn the clock backyards and place the entire functioning of the gov- ernment at the mercy of never-end- ing lawsuits and subject all admin istrative acts and processes to the control of the judiciary, I am of course not unaware that improve ment in the administrative process is as much a duty of those con- cerned with it as the improvement of court procedure ought to be duty of the legal profession.
 MT. Roosevelt pointed out that more than year ago at his dis cretion the attorney general ap- pointed committee to suggest im- provements in the conduct of ad- ministrative tribunals. He said that the report of this group would be transmitted to congress in few weeks. @ sf&
 He traced the growth of admins trative agencies beginning with the interstate commerce commission in 1886 and noted that Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, speaking for the supreme court, had recognized the usefulness of an administrative tribunal as furnishing "a prompt, continuous, expert, and inexpensive method of dealing with 8 class of questions of fact which are peculiar ly suited to examination and de- termination by an administrative agency specially assigned to that task"
 Hits Legal Profession
 But, he said, "a large part of the legal profession has never recon oiled itself to the existence of the administrative tribunal" Because many lawyers prefer the stately ritual of the courts, in which lawy- CTS play all the speaking parts, to the simple procedure of administra- tive hearings which client can understand and even participate in"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-18

though 1t is, has a vitally important part in defense production. It will be the responsibility of our new admin istration to facilitate in every way possible the speedy manufacture and shipment of the goods and imple- ments we need to protect our coun- try. At the same time,. we shall not lose sight of the need for further social reform and the extension of present social legislation"
 Many Inequalities
 There are many inequalities in the present system of old age assist ance," said the governor-elect. T propose to ask the General Assembly to have them corrected and to raise minimum payments from their pres ent levels"
 MT Hurley said that the continu- ing business upturn made 1t appear that no new taxes would be necessary during the next biennium and that present taxes on liquor, cigarettes and gasoline would not have to be increased.
 During the interview, Mir. Hurley referred several times to the states milk problem. He said he would work increasingly to bring about greater income for the milk producer.
 T say now, as I said during the campaign, that the farmer should receive a larger share of the retail price of milk than he does at pres- ent. If revision of the milk admins tration is necessary, I will have no hesitancy in asking for such a revision. The present system is high ly unfair to the individual farmer and I intend to do something about it."
 Labor Gains Must Stand
 "The gains made by labor in recent years must be preserved" said MT. Hurley. 'They are gains whose jus tice we all should recognize. In Con- necticut we should solidify them by adopting legislation setting up a State Labor Relations Board, similar to the National Labor Relations Board. With such system we should be able to prevent any labor difficulties that might tie up all-iin- portant defense production"
 The reporter mentioned that prob ably a revised city charter for Wa terbury would be submitted and asked if there would be any guber- material objection.
 Any bills affecting Waterbury or any other city or town in the state will be considered solely on their merits" said MT. Hurley. At this session, more than ever before, par tisan politics must be forgotten"
 "A real emergency confronts this state and nation" said the governor elect forcibly. ''It will be the job of us all to help Connecticut do her part for the country, and it will also be our job to make every possible advance within the state that wt can. The next two years will be time for cooperated effort, not poli- tics"

City department heads were in- structed again today by Mayor Vim cent A. scully to cut down end-of- the-year expenses as much as pcs- sible.
 Tn notices sent to all departments, the mayor directed that no requisi- tions except those absolutely neces- sary" be submitted and that any in this category be presented only after certification by the budget director that sufficient funds to meet them were available in the departments appropriations for the year.
 Today,s notice was even stronger than one sent out by the mayor 8 few weeks ago. The administration is doing everything possible to cut down late expenditures so that the city'S estimated surplus of $330, 0,0OO or whereabouts will not be reduced.
 The notice said that strict CO., operation" on the part of all depart n1ents was expected.

Walter Logan Bill Is
 Vetoed By President
(continued from Page l.)

Many of the lawyers, prefer that decisions be influenced by a shrewd play upon technical rules of evi- dence in which the lawyers are the only experts, although they always disagree" he continued. Many of the lawyers still prefer to distin- guish precedent and to juggle lead ing cases rather than to get down to the merits of the efforts in which their clients are engaged. For years, such lawyers hsye led per- sistent fight against the admins trative tribunal"
 Powerful Interests
 He added that powerful inter- ests" opposed to reforms and desir- ing to escape regulation rightly see that if they can strike at the heart of modern reform by Sterilizing the administrative tribunal which ad- ministers them, they will have ef- fective destroyed the reform itself"
 Substantial justice remains a higher aim for our civilization than technical legalism," MT. Roosevelt wrote.
 MT. Roosevelt remarked that the measure had been passed without substantial congressional hearings'' to consider the problems of the ex- ecutive departments affected.
 Authors of the bill were Rep Francis E. Walter, D., Pa., and the late Sen. Marvel M. Logan, D., Ky It was approved unanimously by the senate judiciary committee on May IT, 1889, and passed shortly after that on unanimous senate con- sent calendar. When administra- tion leaders learned of the nature of the bill which they had approved, they demanded its recall and won. Last April IS, the house passed the measure 282 to 97. 1t remained tied up in parliamentary tangles un- til last month when the senate, with a bare quorum present, passed it 27 to 25.

 The fire was in three-story frame dwelling owned by Mrs. E, Alderman, of the 42 Putnam street address. It was caused by sparks from backyard incinerator, and flames began shooting up the out side of the house. The structure was extremely damaged.
 Five Companies
 Five companies of firemen ah- swered the alarm, which was regis tered at 12:21 D. Firemen, directed by Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion, were at the scene for a lengthy period. Fighting the blaze were members of Engine Co.'S l. 2 and ', Truck Go. 2 and the booster pump. Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey and his aide, Private Jerry Griffin, investigated.
 Fireman Began, who was ap- pointed to the permanent force Nov. Is, 1916, was attached to Engine T, stationed at the Walnut street firehouse. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
 AS fireinen reached the scene. they saw Mrs. zelski and her daughter at the front room windows of their apartment. Capt. Sheehan and Private Began fought their way upstairs to their aid, and it was after they had battled through smoke and flames to the third floor that Fireman Began collapsed.
