The Great Game Of Politics
Liquidation Of Other WostefuI Agencies Likely
In Wake Of Voluntary WPA Suspension

that when, after the war, the neces-
sity for a Federal relief agency
arises again, it will take sounder
and less wasteful form than WPA.
Second, it is proposed to make an
early drive to liquidate two other
agencies, the necessity for which
was always doubtful, but for which
now there is but the frailest of
excuses. One of these is the Ma
tional Youth Administration the
other, the Farm Security Admins
tration.
Negligible Results.
The two have spent-and are still
spending-vast sums Of money for
almost negligible results. Trying to
avert the ak, the NYA claims it is
now doing vital war work in the
training of youths to take Jobs in
munition factories. Much plausible
propaganda has been put out to
make this theory convincing. But,
informed persons say that NYA is
doing nothing in this line that could
not be better done by industry it.
self; that it is merely device to
keep from being dissolved.
NYA is an especial pet OF Mrs.
Roosevelt. It's director, Aubrey Will
liams, Is one Of her close friends
and on its payroll are many others.
For these, and other reasons. des-
perate struggle to avoid its liqui-
dation will be made and those who
favor 1t will be assailed as reaction
ary and inhumane.
Nevertheless, the chances for sue
cess seem good. For one reason,
realization Of the waste involved in
such agencies-particularly during
war-is increasing all the time.
For another. the power to do some
thing about 1t has been greatly aug
mented since the election.
Like NYA, the FSA has plenty of
plausible propaganda to justify its
continuation. 1t sprang from an
old idea Of DR.. ReXford Tugwell and
its chief duty is to "rehabilitate"
the small and submerged farmer.
The contention Of those who want
it liquidated is that 1t has loaned
not far from a billion dollars to the
submerged farmers without rehabil-
itating anything.
They further contend that the
great bulk of this billion has been
lost; that the submerged farmer
has been burdened with debt that
he cannot pay: that the FSA, on
the plea of raising his standards,
has accustomed these farmers to
look to the Government for money
to go to the movies. pay his poll
taxes and for various expenses not
connected with farming.
The Byrd Committee has had
testimony to that effect, and while
the FSA counters with big claims
of benefits conferred, a strong case
against 1t as a wasteful and un-
necessary agency is made. In any
event, the new Congress will not
be in session long before the pro-
posal to uproot both NYA and FSA
will come before it. It will be de-
terminedly opposed by administra-
ton leaders and by the job-holding
army involved. But those behind
it believe that just as soon as the
pain of the 1912 taxes begins really
to register there will come into be-
ing public sentiment for retrench-
ment in all non-war Government
expenditures not to be resisted.

On the Record
Blitz Peace Will Present World With
Problems Worse Than War Itself

the world, and the future Or
ganization of security and peace;
whatever thought may have
found form regarding the social
and economic structure of the
world following this war remains
a secret of the administration
If it has such a secret. It is even
a secret to people inside the ad-
ministration, concerned with such
matters as the conducting of
political warfare.
Day by day thousands of words
are being spoken across the ether
to sympathizers of ours in enemy
countries with a view to influence
ing public opinion in other coun-
tries. But the people who are
writing the scripts and taking
responsibility toward those coun-
tries have no idea about what we
intend our victory to mean, in
positive terms of reconstruction.
And far from being apathetic,
they are deeply disturbed.
Minds Demobilized.
1t is not the function of private
citizens In time Of war, however
deeply concerned they may be
about the future and however
much thought they may have
given over years of their lives to
international questions, to formu-
late for the public the pattern of
a coming peace. That Is the
function of the political leader
ship.
1t is the function of the
thoughtful critic then to discuss
the plans advanced. But if there
Is no leadership, or If the plans
are being made In camera, and
are the privileged knowledge Of
only small inside groups, the
mind Of the country is de-
mobilized. Actually the most
basic questions are not being
discussed by political writer's only
because they are waiting to have
something to discuss, imposing
upon themselves, meanwhile, a
patient discipline.
Not having anything to discuss,
people lose interest. Resigna-
ton spreads, accompanied by a
feeling of malaise, an apprehen-
sion as to whether any one knows
where We are really going;
whether in any quarter there is
emerging an intelligible pattern
OF future action; whether we are
not living and fighting according
to rule of thumb, hoping that
the sum total of day-to-day acts,
made for reasons Of expediency,
will miraculously add up to a
more or less consistent pattern.
Many Of us fear that they will
add up to chaos.
Slogans are put out which are
obvious nonsense. One of them
is Food Will Win the War, and
Write the Peace" I challenge
anybody to justify that state
ment. Food won't do anything
except feed hungry people, and
peace is not universal soup
kitchen. Peace cannot be writ
ten with vitamins, but only with
intellect, vision and knowledge.
The effect of this universal
darkness is to quench that vital
faith capable of firing the inner
being of the people and impelling
the popular will. Whatever new
world may emerge after this war
will depend not only upon juridi-
cal and political arrangements,
but upon the existence of a
strong and vital spiritual stream,
a new spirit and a new faith.
Without this, the best structure
will fail, and with 1t even
faulty one can succeed.
I have warned before and warn
again that a Blitz peace today
would find the world in a state
of moral and intellectual chaos,
confronting us with worse prob
lens than the war itself.
