SOUTHERN BLOC IRKED BY SPEECH AT GAINESVILLE
Roosevelt's Derunciation of Wage Differentials ‘Adds To: Democratic Rift.
—
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 1.—Resentment among Southern members of Congress at President: Roosevelt's recent denunciation of wage scales in the South, which is still bubbling over in the lobbies; has intensified the discord .in Democratic’ ranks. Southerners with few exceptions were irritated -by Mr. Roosevelt's |Gainesville speech and are still talking about it. They object to his going into their backyard and criticizing the South, and they are especially annoyed over his reference to “feudalism.” Some ‘of them are addressing one another in the corridors as “Fellow Feudalist. A That word “feudalist” is likely to go into the lexicon of politics along with “economic royalist” and “prince of privilege.” Publicly, Southerners refrain from comment, but privately they are saying plenty. “The President is. trying to get a compromise on the wage-hour bill,” said one. “It seems to me that's a strange way. to go about it. You can . get more flies with sugar than vinegar.” “He picked the wrong place to say it,” said another. “There are feudalists in other parts of the country.”
. One Southerner for Him
One Southerner who has supported the President consistenly said he thought it was necessary sometimes to come out as bluntly as did the President in order to wake people up, and for that reason he thought the ultimate effect. would be: helpful. The fight henceforth on the wagehour bill, as on other issues, is going . to be one in which Mr. Roosevelt ‘will try to line up the rank and file against the Southérn politicians who have bucked him and who, in his opinion, do not really represent their constituents. That was the object of his Gainesville speech. Because of this strategy, the forthcoming Congressional primary and election campaigris are going to be the most interesting in years. And not, only in the South, for the fight between Conservatives and New Dealers is going on in other areas. It is.a fight for control of the Democratic Party in 1940, and the Southerners have quite a stake in if. The President has less chance in the South with such a fight than elsewhere, for the Conservatives control the South’s- political machinery. Few. substantial men of the New Deal type seem desirous of sticking up their heads. ; Expert Explainers ‘ Southern Congressmen, by virtue of long experience, have a peculiar ability to go back hme and explain themselves satisfactorily, and they frequently divert the issue to something of a local nature in order to crowd out discussion of their stand on national issues. ; The South is still fond of its oratory. A fine-sounding speech can cover up many a real controversy. Also; Southerners are adept at jumping onto the bandwagon a few months before an election and at using such allegiance on a few issues to cover their desertion on more important matters which the voters may have forgotten. A case in point is Senator “Cotton Ed” Smith of South Carolina, who has been grumbling about the New Deal for a long time and voting against it frequently. He is up against the hard-hitting Governor Olin D. Johnson, who will try to get his seat in the August primary. The vote on the reorganization bill found the South Carolina Senator lined up with the Administration.
Bailey ‘of North Carolina, who in his re-election campaign in 1936 avowed his friendship for the New Deal and at the Philadelphia convention ‘extolled: President Roosevelt to the skies. He returned here to open fire against the Administration on all fronts.
