President Roosevelt, late in
1888, feared serious trouble in
the country, even a revolution.
If he stopped New Deal relief
measures and farm subsidies, as
urged by two conservative party
leaders"
This is reported in the second
volume Of 1.-THE Secret Diary of
Harold L. Ickes." published today
by Simon & Schuster.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
so related in his entry for De-
cember "a. 1888. When he
lunched with the President q few
days earlier, Mr.. Ickes said, Mr..
Roosevelt told him Of a talk with
two conservative party leaders.

Names" the diary added, "but !
know to a certainty that Garner
(the Vice President) was one of
them, because he was with the
President two or three hours over
the week end. Probably Senator
ByrneS (of South Carolina) was
the other. Both men talked to
the President in the following
strain:
"The important thing is to pre-
serve party solidarity. and the
way to do this is to balance the
budget and discontinue all such
spending as has been going on
under WPA and PWA. AS to re-
lief, the suggestion was that the
Federal Government appropri-
ate a sum of about $500 million,
which would be used to match
sums contributed by States and
local communities. Relief would
be taken care of by local COM
munities on this basis. All farm
benefits would be discontinued,
and savings would be made in
other directions in order to keep
expenditures within income.
Taxes would not be increased.
Troop Need Secuted.
The President remarked that
this would mean calling out the
troops to preserve order. It might
even mean a revolution or an at
tempted revolution. His inter-
locutors secuted such an eventu-
ality and insisted that the party
must be preserved in order to
preserve the country. Then the
President asked whether they
would be willing to have it an
nounced publicly that they were
in favor of such a program. They
both hastily demurred to this.
What they suggested should be
done by the President, but they
did not want to take any respon-
sibility."
This was at a period when Mr..
Roosevelt had not decided, Sc
far as he disclosed to his init
mates, to run for a third term
in 1910, and various candidates
including Mr.. Ickes, were being
considered.
Months earlier, the President
the diarist said, had confided to
him that che didn't want to be
President again, that he was
slowing up. :" OF possible
candidates Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Lets look over the list, begin
ming with yourself. since you are
here. You are too didactic, toe
likely to blow up. Then he
went down the line" Henry A.

Agriculture, was "too aloof."

Veterans Benefits

WASHINGTON, D. C May 19-l
tJACL Recommending restora-
ton of cancelled Veterans Admi-
nistration benefits to nationals in
Japan. the House Veteran Affairs
Committee favorably reported legis-
lation TO restore these government
benefits. the Washington office OF
the Japanese American Citizens
League reported today.
Introduced by Congressman Craig
Hosmer (R, Calf }, the bill would
reinstitute eligibility for veterans
benefits to many Japanese and
Germans whose VA benefits were
terminated at the outbreak of World
War ii.
If enacted. the former recipients
would refile and qualified benefici-
aries would begin receiving their
benefits from the date of enactment,
provided their claims were filed wi
thin a year after passage. On other
claims filed after the year period,
benefits would begin from the date
of filing for qualified recipients.
Supporting the bill the JACL
pointed out that many veterans OF
japanese ancestry residing in ia
pan had earned these benefits and
pensions through service in the A
merican Navy during the Spanish
American War and World War 1.
Since Social Security and other
government pensions have been res
tored to nationals of former enemy
countries, the JACL contends that
present bars against payment of VA
benefits to former servicemen now
residing in Japan are unjust ano
should be removed.
Most of these japanese are now
aged and disabled or have left wi
dows who are in urgent need OF
their former pensions to assist then
during their remaining years, the
JACL had pointed out.
In clearing Congressman Hos
mers bill for consideration of thu
full House. the committee issued
favorable report indicating the fe
deral developments involved hat
recommended enactment of the le'
gislation.
The report included letter from
the Veterans Administration say
ing;
"As there is no apparent vali'
