Republicans to demand that it be
overhauled or eliminated
Senator Capper Republican, of
Kansas, said he thought that Con-
gress would continue the program
If the Senate were given the author
ity to ratify or reject trade agree
ments. The same view was ex-
pressed by Senator Townsend
In the field of labor, numerous de-
mands are developing for revision of
sthe Wagner Labor Act-especially
since both the American Federation
of Labor and the c. l. O. have sug-
gested changes.
After reading his annual message
on the state of the Nation, about 2
pm, E. S. T., tomorrow, Mr.. Roose-
welt will send his budget estimates
to Congress Thursday. During the
latter part of the week, Senate
leaders hope to dispose of many
minor bills held over from the 1889
session.
Election Speculation.
In most conversations among re-
turning Congressman is speculation
regarding the presidential election.
The chief topic of interest is the
recent invitation to Republican
leaders to attend the Democrats
jackson Day dinner here next
Monday.
Two Republican Senators-Capper
and ToWnsend-termed the invita-
ton "a gesture" which could not be
taken seriously.
THE man in the White House."
said Senator Townsend, never
misses trick"
The session will provide sound
or potential presidential candidates
in both Houses. Close friends of
Vice President Garner, however,
predicted that he would be publicly
silent and privately active as can
didate.
Garner Has No Comments.
Mr.. Garner himself told reporters
he would have no comment on poll
tics, the weather or any other sub
ject they might mention He ar
rived from his Uvalde, Tex, home
yesterday after series of hunting
expeditions.
The Vice President was said au-
thoritatively to have been pleased
by statement from Alfred E.
Smith that he was "all right" as
presidential possibility.
Mr.. Smith, speaking on his Goth
birthday anniversary, eliminated
himself from consideration on the
ground he was too old. But he did
not make this argument against
Mr.. Garner, who is II.
The Vice President is expected to
hold series of conferences with
friends in the Senate and to work
behind the scenes for delegates to
the Democratic National Conven-
ton. Well-advised sources said he
probably would have a private po-
ltical talk soon with Democratic
Chairman Farley.

REVIVAL OF MONROE DOCTRINE; JUST WHAT
 IT MEANS, EXPLAINED
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Behind the Monroe Doctrine headlines you've been reading is a deliber- ate battle of wits between Wash ington and Berlin-With Washing ton on the offensive.
 The primary aim in Washington is to bring strikingly to the at tention of the American public both above and below the RIO Grande-the original Monroe Doc Urine and it's championship of ln- dependence for the nations of the Western Hemisphere as well as its warning to European powers to keep off.
 In effect it is curtain raiser for the meeting in Havana late in July of the 2l American republics. It might even portend a mutual Monroe Doctrine for the hemis- phere to supplement the purely United States doctrine pronounced by Monroe in 1923.
 American State Department of ficials have been itching for some time to get the Monroe doctrine on Page One, so to speak, in the same breath with the strange talk of Monroe Doctrines in Europe and Asia, and to show them in contrast with each other
 These officials have been ready to leap at a chance to prove Uncle Sam is on the level and devoid of all desire to set up any puppet regimes in this hemisphere.
