Washington, D. c.. July 10.-If
anyone has any doubts as to who
has the final say regarding top
bracket Maryland political ap-
pointments today, the recent resig-
nation of Charles S. Jackson as
president Of the Federal Land
Bank in Baltimore should clear
them up.
Jackson has been one of the
most consistent meat-axers Of
Roosevelt-New Deal policies in and
around Baltimore. SO not long ago
Eugene Casey, White House secre-
tary, determined that it was time
for such a consistent opponent of
the President to relinquish such
an important banking job. So
Casey pulled wires to secure Jack
sons resignation.
However, it so happens that
Jackson was a West Point class
mate Of General PA" Watson, Sec
retary to President Roosevelt, and
one of his closest friends. Jackson
appealed to his old classmate, and
"Pa" Watson, in return, appealed
on behalf of Jackson.
But it did no good Casey had
his way. Jackson's resignation
has been accepted effective Sep
tember l. He will be replaced by
someone more sympathetic with
ROosevelt's policies.
NOTE: Casey also had a lot to
do with the recent resignation of

DISPELLING THE FOG
CHARLES NICHOLSON
PUBLICITY DIRECTOR DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTTEE

Various Republican spokesmen
and penmen have expressed their
panied astonishment, amazement
and surprise that the publicity di-
rector of the Democratic National
Committee should advocate the
election of Democratic Congress-
men.
1t is supremely virtuous, of
course, and thoroughly non-parti-
san for Chairman Joe Martin Of
the COP national organization, and
Publicity Director Clarence Bud
dington Kelland to announce that
the election of Republican Con-
gressmen to succeed Democrats is
vital for the salvation of the Re-
public, and to rejoice at the re-nom
ination of such noted objectors to
preparedness as Senator Brooks,
of Illinois, and to hail as a portent
of the trend of public opinion the
failure of Democratic member in
the primary elections.
These, and the braves of the iso-
latiOnist press, deplore with unre-
strained Indignation the citation

of the House had not placed patrio-

Corollary to an Argument
Accepting his logic, would that
not mean that in his opinion the

bill were guilty of putting party
ahead of patriotism and seeking to
commit the nation to a great blum

FLYNN CONDEMNS
UNFAIR ATTACKS
ON i. s. CONGRESS
Continued Criticism Dan
gerOuS to Governmental
Structure, He SAYS

Unfair criticism of Congress was
severely condemned recently by
Edward j. Flynn, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
before 500 delegates attending the
first Eastern regional Conference
On Women and the War, meeting
at Boston, under the auspices Of
the Women's Division of the Demo
cratic National Committee.
There has grown up in this
country situation" said Mr..
Flynn, which will do much to
lessen the respect for the Govern
ment that must be maintained il
our Republic is to survive"
There has grown up in this
country situation" said Mr..
Flynn, which will do much to les
sen the respect for the Govern
ment that must be maintained il
our Republic is to survive"
Unfortunately some newspapers
and some radio commentators of
this country" he asserted, "haye
inaugurated a campaign to belittle
the Congress Of the United States"
This happened to France de-
clared Mr.. Flynn. "The people lost
respect for the Legislative Branch
of the Government by reason of
the fact that the newspapers of
France did what is being done in
this country. They sowed the
seeds of discord in the minds of
their people to such an extent that
the Legislative Branch of Govern.
ment in that country was not able
OF function efficiently"
How can we expect other ma
tions to respect our Government
if our own people are continually
criticising, ridiculing and belit-
tling one of the three branches of
our system of Government - par
ticularly the branch most repre-
sentative of the people?" he ask
ed.
Admitting that mot all men in
Congress are perfect. by any
means" and that ''some of them
| should not be there" Mr.. Flynn
asserted that under our system
they were elected and while they
are in office, the people should
respect. if not the man. at least
the Office
"If present criticism continues"
warned Mr.. Flynn in conclusion,
''our whole structure of Govern
ment may fall. We must see to
it that the will of the people is
correctly interpreted by Congress
but we must also see to it that
popular respect for the Congress
lis maintained.
This can only be done by judg-
ing the acts of Congress as a whole
and not singing out individual
acts as a means of discrediting the
body which is peculiarly our voice
in Government"
