Tf.l-i. ■ ■ ‘tfrfrr It Seems to Me 1 HEVDOD BROUN ORLEANS, Jan. 2.—The Roosevelt Hotel has filled up with lawyers to such an extent that it Is almost impossible to get into the bar. The Association of American Law Schools is holding its twenty-third annual convention here, and such wellknown teachers as Felix Frankfurter of Harvard, Lloyd K. Garrison of Wisconsin, and Thomas Reed Powell of Harvard arc in attendance. The last two took part in a symposium on the Constitution. Wise words were uttered in the papers which they

read, but i think it might be of even greater educational value if it were possible to broadcast to a wide audience the more informal constitutional conversations which go on over the Sazaracs and local fizzes. I mean that the men who have studied the Constitution most closely are not the ones who speak of it with bated breath. I believe that in some recent litigation touching the rights of the holding companies John W: Davis was minded to get down on his knees and pray for the deliverance of the utilities from illegal tyranny. But this is

Heywood Broun

not the usual approach of a constitutional lawyer to the Constitution. It is never his attitude when he is talking off the record. a a a A Day of Reverence A GREAT drive has gone on recently for special observance of Constitution Day in the schools and colleges, and the suggestion has even been made that the entire document should be read to small tots in school rvery month, or perhaps it is every other day. And these are to be periods of prayer and fasting. It would be fatal to have any of these small dedicated scholars stray into the Roo.'°velt bar during Sazarac time and listen to the deans in discussion. They would undoubtedly be shocked to hear the st ory of what the late Mr. Justice Holmes said about Chief Justice Hughes and the girl of the late Mr. Jus- * tice Moody. Then there is the tale of the anecdote which Justice Brandeis used as an ice-breaker when Mr. Roberts first came to the high bench. Those who think the Constitution was graven on tablets that came from Mount Sinai would be aghast at Prof. Powell’s saying, "The dead hand should not strangle, though it may say, ‘Tut-tut’.” I believe it was on some other occasion that Prof. Powell wrote in a report, “Justice Holmes held that three generations of idiots was enough—Justice Butler dissenting.” a a a Protection for Protectors CONSIDER, too, the opening of the paper read by Prof. Garrison, who said: “Although I am no economist, I am going to begin with some economics. 1 don't know how else to explain the conclusion I have reluctantly come to that the powers of Congress in the economic field ought to be enlarged by amendment to the Constitution.” And Garrison went on to say: “The core of my conclusions is that business in its main aspects has ceased to be of purely local significance; that all its parts are interdependent, composing in that larger view a single national enterprise; that these parts are highly unstable; that we dare not, for fear of chaos, allow these instabilities to run their course; that we must, if we would keep the economic machine from crushing the men whose backs support it, design national policies to steady it and that the Constitution does not confer sufficient national power for such purposes.” And Lloyd K. Garrison continued: “I suggest, therefore, an amendment giving to Congress the power to enact such laws as in its judgment are reasonably designed to promote the economic welfare of the United States.” Liberty Leaguers have a right to fight against c hange, but the lawyers of that group are intellectual shysters when they seek to convey the impression that they are master minds of the bar entirely surrounded by legions of crackpots.

Gen. Johnson Says—

OKMULGEE, Okla, Jan. 2.—This New Year is going to be good. The old superstition that presidential electoral years are always bad is bunk. I made a study of them once Either they were good or, if they were bad, there were plenty of clearer causes than the election. The year will be good because the depression has worn itself out. Most of the reason for better times is that people believe they are coming and, w'hether they realize it or not, gamble for the rise. That makes better business. Better business is good times. In almost every part of this country, people believe that business is on the upswing. 1 know because 1 have recently talked to many people in many parts of the country. There is not likely to be any runaway speculative boom either. There is no use trying to make big money by playing the market. If you win. the government takes it all. If you lose, you are out of luck. Nobody wants to take thin chances on that kind of heads-I-win-tails-you-lose proposition. a a a IT will be a heated political campaign but nobody but the politicians will get very excited about it, for the same reason that the keepers ceased to come running after the shepherd boy had fooled them too often by crying "Wolf! Wolf!” There has been so much ballyhoo in the past three years that the old dope won t work any more no matter how hard you shake Uie bottle. It will be a close race with all chances favoring Roosevelt. He’d win in a walk if he'd get rid of some satellites .vho never did him any good and who are now as much of a handicap as snowshoes in a footrace. You've got to hand it to him for self-sacrific-ing loyalty. He's a glutton for punishment. But no election—no matter who w-ins—can stop the upward surge of a somewhat happier apd far more prosperous New Year. < r >Vvmht, 1936. by UnKed Feature Syndicate, Inc.h

A Liberal Viewpoint BY. DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

IN 1914 England held the key to the doors of war and peace. She chose to open that leading to war and disaster. In 1936 she possesses the same determining power to lead Europe to peace or to war. And once again she seems to sweep the continent into another armed conflict. Sir Samuel Hoare held the office of British Foreign Secretary for only a short period. He is not yet any such world figure as was Sir Edward Grey in 1914. But it is likely that when the final and fair verdict of history is written he will be accorded a far higher position in the list of the world's peace makers than will be conceded to England's Foreign Secretary of 1914. Sir Samuel was willing to go amazingly far in the way o£ compromise and negotiation in order to avert war. And he finally resigned rather than take the responsibility for a policy which might lead straight to war. a a a HISTORY is In grave danger of repeating itself in 1936. The peace maker has resigned and Baldwin, Eden and the war group have the upper hand. They seem determined to bend the League to the service of British imperialism. But they will hardly be able to bamboozle the world as Grey succeeded in doing in 1914. After the proposal to partition Ethiopia, together with the publicity given to earlier negotiations with Italy over partition, it vjill be difficult to convince reasonable men that England is once more waging war to protect a "brave little country." , It should be less easy to induce the United States to spend its blood and billions to protect British imperialism.

WHAT ’36 PROMISES THE U. S. ***nunnuu a a a a a a Business Rise to Continue in ’36 Unless World Crisis Arises—Flynn

.Cohn T. Flynn, In two previous article*, ha* reviewed husine** of the depression years and 1935. Today, in the last article of his series this noted economist ventures a forecast for 1936. nun BY JOHN T. FLYNN 'Copyright, 1936, by NEA Service' 'J'HE road ahead for business, as 1936 begins its journey, is really less confusing than at any time in these last five years. Will the business lift continue? There seems hardly a doubt of that. War or some unforseen disaster may alter the course of events. But this is not likely. There is hardly a doubt that production in all the consumers’ goods industries will improve, that employment will increase, that prices will rise, that the security mar-

kets will reflect the general expansion and make desperate efforts to stage a real revival in speculation. Will business revive sufficiently to enable the government to retire from the function of priming the pump? To answer this in the affirmative it would be necessary to predict a revival of the capital goods industries. If the lift in business continues, some rise in the capital goods industry is inevitable. But there are no signs now that this rise will be sufficient to enable the government to put an end to its pump priming. nun WHAT energies are apparent in business to justify a hope of capital goods revival? Unlike some other depressions this one has brought into being no new device or invention or development which seems likely to affect deeply the course of future industry. In the depression of 1921-23, the construction industry never did collapse. In the midst of the depression building of movie theaters, hotels, apartment houses and commercial buildings was on a large scale. Then as the automobile industry rose, with the amazing changes it wrought in our way of life—new suburbs, new garages, new roads, new towns —there was an immense capital goods revival supplemented by a further development of the new skyscraper, and the prosperity of the 1920’s was in the making. U tt u BUT we see no far-reaching development yet. Some things have happened. They are: (1) Streamlining of railroads. This, accompanied by a serious rundown condition of the roads, would lead to large railroad building were it not for the crippled financial conditions of the roads. At that, however, some railroad construction should appear this year. (2> The modern small house.

Congress to Be Studio Audience for F. D. R. 'Soup Broadcast' —By Clapper

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER WASHINGTON, Jan. 2f-Pres-ident Roosevelt expects to use Congress tomorrow night as a studio audience to provide applause for a nation-wide radio talk, which for program purposes is announced as his annual mes-

sage on the state of the Union. On the air he probably will displace a troupe cf Hollywood stars who sing every Friday night in praise of one of the nation's most famous soups. It is a fair subs titution, for while Mr.

Raymond Clapper

Roosevelt seldom if ever sings in public, he is an authority on soup, having for the last three years been in more of it than all of the crooners in radio ever will sing about. a a a Even Kansas Slipping IT IS about time the country was hearing its master's voice again. For months public sentiment has been drifting. Numerous signs, like the Literary Digest poll, show it has disintegrated, even in states which were supposed to be favorable to Mr. Roosevelt. Even in Kansas, where AAA crop restriction is thought to be so strong that Senator Capper is indorsing it as one of his Republican re-election planks, farmers have seeded a record-breaking acreage in winter wheat. a a a Too Many Signal Callers PART of this disintegration of sentiment can be attributed to the Republicans, the American Liberty League and hostile judges. But not all of it. Mr. Rooseveit, still officially the quarter back, has been letting too many of his players call the . signals.

A lower cost small house has appeared on the market, with design and modern equipment which represents an amazing advance over existing houses. This has already resulted in an increase in small house construction. In Long Island, for instance, and in a few middle western cities it has reached the proportions of a small boom. It is all quite small yet, but it has in it the potentialities of a construction revival on a moderate scale. 13) Industrial mechanization. There is no doubt that industry is prepared to press technological improvements as far as possible to guard against any rise in labor costs. Some of this has already been accomplished. It accounts for the fact that while business and production have improved greatly, not very much impression has been made on the total volume of unemployment. However, if this movement continues it will make for some employment in the heavy machine industry. (4) Rural electrification may get a powerful impetus. The government is attempting to stimulate this. But the time is ripe for it and the power industry may, on its own motion, press this unexploited market. a a a BUT on the whole it seems fairly clear that these will not produce a wholesale revival of the heavy machinery and construction industries. That being so, the government will have to continue its spending. But there is another reason for this. It is not merely a question of priming the pump. There is a social problem involved. With such a vast army of unemployed people the government—no matter who were in power—would have to continue to provide work or relief. In addition the government will have to continue those projects which it has begun. The effect of all this will be that the government must continue spending. And this spending plus any energy of its own which business

tary Roper is in New York telling business that it has nothing to fear. Roosevelt, W’ho so often has been described as a charming dictator, actually is more open to criticism for tolerating conflicting mouthpieces in his Administration. He has had the sense to call experts to his aid but he has let them transgress the proper role of an expert in government and become spokesmen on policy. The result is a babel of tongues. a a a Leadership Needed FROM the Administration point of view, positive leadership again is demanded. Recovery, still a fragile plant, needs it. Indus-

Arms Profits Scripps-lloward Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—A profitable second-hand munitions business, carried on at the expense of the War Department and for the benefit of certain dealers and foreign nations, has been uncovered by the Senate Munitions Committee, it was learned today. This enterprise consists in the purchase by private dealers from the War Department, at virtually a song, of discarded implements of war, especially machine guns, which are rehabilitated and sold to foreign countries for fancy prices. The War Department is required to mutilate these weapons before they are sold as surplus war materials, so that it will be impossible to use them again. But in many cases this has not been done effectively enough to prevent repair, or the salvaging of important parts. This practice will be aired by the Senate committee, with some details on profits and on the destination of the war materials, during hearings which will be resumed Tuesday with an inquiry into J. P. Morgan & Co.'s financing during the World War.

may develop will insure the continuance of the business rise. Business itself—or rather Big Business insists that there is one powerful drawback. Business itself, with its reduced inventories, its shortages, the enormous reserves built up in banks, says it is leady to go and wculd go forward on a tremendous scale if it were not for the strait-jacket of government legislation and bureaucracy which restrains it. There is absolutely nothing in this argument. a a a WHERE is this strait-jacket? There is none on the banks. Asa matter of fact, the banks are upheld by the government guarantee, by over a billion in government loans and investment in banks and by a rise of seven billion dollars in deposits, almost all the result of government action. There is none on industry. The NRA, which might have been considered a chain on industry, is a thing of the past. There is none on the railroads.

trial production went up 13 percent last year and finished 40 percent above 1932. Even the utilities, which, according to their own predictions when the death sentence was enacted, x ere to have been plowed under- by now, are sitting pretty with their stock averages up 64 points this year and their bonds up 14 points. But with some 10,000,000 still unemployed in spite of prodigious government spending, it is vital that recovery be expedited as the chief remaining hope of restoring employment. Government policies furthermore are now so closely intertwined with business that the whole economy of the country is infinrtely more sensitive than ever* to what happens in Washington —or more important, to what is about to happen. It is not nearly so important to recovery what Mr. Roosevelt’s policies for the coming year are to be as that he state them with unmistakable clearness now. Let the country find out from him, not from Roper vs. Tugwell, which way he is going. tt tt tt Politics Are Chaotic T7IRM leadership is important X 1 also because of the chaotic state of political sentiment. On the business side the sense of futility, so dominant recently, has all but disappeared. Once more business life is pulsing with the feeling that effort is worth while. Political sentiment, on the other hand, is chaotic, almost psychotic. A country presumably demanding a balanced budget also is demanding the bonus and the Townsend Plan. Even conservative Republicans are pausing in their prayers for economy to shout amen to Dr. Townsend. Public sentiment, whipped around by grab-bag politics, needs something to tie to. tt a tt Let's Hear the Words IF Mr. Roosevelt is going to give us the "Happy Days” song again tomorrow night, a good many folks would like to have him bring out the words more clearly.

Instead, the roads have been kept alive by government loans on a vast scale. Perhaps the utilities may insist they are held back by the utility act. But this act does not apply to the operating utilities, only to the holding companies which control their stock. Even assuming that this is hampering the utilities, this does nor apply to all industry. There may be two or more opinions about the wisdom or the lack of wisdom of the New Deal measures. But it is not fair to say they are a strait-jacket on industry. For a while this charge was brought against the Securities Act and the Stock Exchange Act. But this can no longer be claimed. a a a THERE has been too much financing under the Securities Act for this argument to hold water any longer. And as for the Stock Exchange Act, the commission has put almost no restrictions on the exchanges as yet. If further proof were needed,

Washington Merry-Go-Round BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—One of the most interesting of European developments, reported in confidential dispatches from Germany, has been the change in the diplomacy of Adolf Hitler. Until recently Hitler was arrogant and domineering, because Germany was weak. Now that Germany is stronger and holds the balance of power in Europe, he has become condescending. This has been noticeable during recent conferences with the French and British ambassador. Hitler has been most considerate, but at the same time extremely firm that Germany must stay out of the Italo-British imbroglio. While Hitler did not say this, American diplomatic representatives deduce that Hitler will wait until his neighbors wear themselves out in a European war, and then take whatever he wants in Austria, Czechoslovakia and the Russian Ukraine. 8 tt Pan-American Contacts IN order to expedite its new trans-Atlantic airmail and passenger service, Pan-American Airways is raiding the Treasury Department personnel. It has offered a job to L. W. (Chip) Robert Jr., dapper Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Hiring of officials from the Administration in powei* has been Pan-Amercan policy in the past. Coolidge o Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Bill McCracken, became Pan-American's attorney in Washington. During the Hoover Administration, Evan Young, American Minister to Bolivia, became vice president of Pan-Amer-ican to arrange Latin-American contacts. Also under Hoover, the late Alan Winslow, son-in-law of Hoover’s Under-Secretary of State Castle, joined Pan-Amer-ican to help arrange European landing privileges. Now, in the Roosevelt era.

we have only to turn to the 3,000.000 share days which have been developing on the exchange. One of the dangers of the year is a runaway speculation. The Federal authorities have shown no disposition to curb it. Another danger of the year is the tbieat of war which hangs over the world. What effect a great war between foreign powers would have on our own economy it is difficult to say. It would depend on the policies adopted by the Administration. The first effect would be to disorganize our foreign trade and injure us. After that we could capitalize on the war and look for war business or we could adopt a policy of strict neutrality. The latter policy would cut into our industry. The former would expand business but almost certainly get us into the war. Another threat is that of labor troubles. If profits continue to expand, as they probably will, and prices to rise, we are certain to see vigorous labor demands. There will also be a rise in the vigor and extent of the industrial union. a a a ANOTHER threat is the election. This may be dismissed with the statement that the old myth that elections interfere with business is absolutely without foundation. Business has improved in election years at least as often as it has declined. This election, of course, will revolve almost entirely around business problems. The chief of these will be the issue of economy. Along with this will go the issue of government borrowing and taxation. Os course the issue of inflation, silver, and along with it such corollary issues as the Townsend plan, etc., wall occupy the spotlight. The third issue will be the question of states vs. Federal rights. This will include the issue of regulation of business. And the antitrust law may be a major issue. One other subject will perhaps rise to a crisis this year. That is the question of the stabilization of currencies. If France devalues the franc, which now seems almost inevitable, then we will probably see an effort to stabilze the currencies of France, America, England and the whole sterling bloc. This will, of course, have some effect upon our foreign trade. If we take the long view and look beyond 1936, the scene is far more troubled. That we must face sooner or later the bills for our wiiole depression policy can not be doubted. That will come by 1938. Certainly it will come in the next Administration. But 1936, looked at alone, presents a fair prospect. (Copyrißht. 1936. by NEA Service)

Labor Relations Board, it was publicized throughout the country. But when another son went to Washington in blue overalls and flannel shirt, almost nobody heard about it. The second son, George Biddle, was encountered by one of the Merry-Go-Rounders on the top of a high ladder and scaffolding in a corridor of the Justice Department. Mr. Biddle was working with a paint brush on the ceiling of the corridor. The Merry-Go-Rounder was on the floor. Arranging an introduction was awkward. A loud cough. No result. Mr. Biddle was engrossed in his painting. "Pardon me. Is Mr. Biddle here?” The gentleman on the scaffolding looked down. "I am Mr. Biddle.” Avery awkward moment. Should the interviewer climb up the scaffolding? Or should he shout: "Oh, Mr. Biddle, I've come to interview you—won't you please come down?” But at this juncture Mr. Biddle, a perfect gentleman, climbed down the ladder, extended a painty hand. George Biddle, famous painter, educated at the same preparatory school and college as Roosevelt, is as well known to the art galleries of Europe as his brother, Francis, is to labor circles here. And like his brother, he is interested in social justice. The mural he is decorating in the Department of Justice bears the legend: "The Sweatshop and Tenement of Yesterday Can Be the Life Planned With Justice Tomorrow.” Carrying out this title, one wall will feature the portrait of a subsistence homsetead; another wall, a tenement; a third wall, a sweatshop. It will take George Biddle seven months to finish this murai. The only incongruous thing is that, at times, he works sweatshop hours. His length of day depends on how quickly his plaster dries. Every morning the plasterers spread out an area of fresh plaster for him to work on. He paints this while it is still wet, thus making the paint indelible, if he has not finished at night, he keeps on.

TriasAington Mwwitie (Batting for Westbrook Feeler 1 "IYTASHINGTON. Jan. 2—Perhaps you have to * * live in Washington to appreciate the confusion created by the candidacy of Senator William E. Borah for the Republican presidential nomination. Stories about "the new Hoover" are of but mild interest here alongside the general speculation as to whether now there is to be a “new Borah.” For the capital’s #onception of the Idaho statesman comes close to the classic and rather mean reference made to him once by ex-Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, when he called

Borah, "The Great Beginner.” In other words, when you speak of Borah around here you are sure to be told that “he never finishes anything.” There is plenty of chapter and verse on that. But it’s something else again when Borah allows his name to be used in the presidential primaries and Borah was never before in any such strategic position as he is today. First, it is conceded by many political observers that he could get more votes than any one else the Republicans might name, if the

election were tomorrow. Second, the fate of the G. O. P might well ht in Borah's hands were he to consider boltine the party in ease neither its platform nor its candidate should be satisfactory to him. Baa Party Split Loonls '"pHROUGH the country Borah's name is one to conjure with at all times and right now there's a large hunk of sentiment among Republicans to liberalize their party. It is possible to imagine Borah becoming the Messiah of his party and it is possible to imagme him darned near wrecking it. It is also possible to imagine him fading right out of the picture and having no influence at all on the political events of 1936. Uncertainty here as to just what, the Republicans will do has been both demonstrated and increased as a result of Borah’s entry. Roughly speaking, politicians and others whose opinions are relatively worth having are almost equally divided in guessing as to whether the nominee will be Gov. Landon of Kansas, Senator Van denburg of Michigan, Borah or Hoover—with a sight edge for Landon. nan * No Pal of Liberty League r \ ’’OURING around among returning Senators the other clay, this writer found several conceding Borah a fairly good chance—which may be significant in view’ of the fact that Washington generally had been thinking Borah was more radical than any man the East would accept. But most of those who see Borah as a strong possibility say that his nomination would require either the overthrow of the G. O. P.’s titular bosses on the national committee, a sudden conviction among party leaders that Borah is virtually their only hope of beating Roosevelt, or a distinct understanding between Borah and the party’s conservative leaders. Borah s so-called economic heresies —his yen for Inflation and alleged flirtations with the Towsendites plus his support of most of the big New Deal legislation hardly qualifies him as a buddy of the Liberty Leaguers, the “pow’er trust” group, the big industrialists and financiers and others who will piovide most of the party's sinews of war and much of the noise during the campaign.
