WORRIED OVER BUSINESS DROP

Democrats May Lose in ’40 By Putting Money on ‘War Babies.’

Times Special .. WASHINGTON, March 4. —A better political barometer than the eagerly watched primaries is the business index. Just as the New Dealers are happy over their success in primary maneuvers, which apparently will give the President a third-term nomination if he wants it, they are afraid of the downward curve in business. " Like Napoleon's armies, American voters march on their bellies. * Hungry voters refused to march for ‘Hoover in 1932, and bolted to ‘Roosevelt in the hope of better “times.” Hungry voters marched for Roosevelt in 1936 only because his Administration was feeding them. In 1936 the- business curve was sharply upward. = The popularity of the Roosevelt Administration in general has folJowed the business index up and down. There was a sudden steep ‘rise in both during the last four ‘months of 1939, thanks to the European war, : Index Falling ¢ ‘But for the last six weeks the business index has been falling ‘much: more rapidly even than the ‘normal seasonal trend. There is no accurate gauge of the Roosevelt. popularity trend during this same period. The Gallup Poll indicates that for those six weeks the thirdterm sentiment among Democrats simply remained. stationary despite the increased third-term publicity. The political curve sometimes turns at the same time as the business curve, but more often the former follows the latter—after public opinion has become aware ot the change. For this reason, and also because the public discounts customary late-winter recessions, January-February , business conditions are not so important politically as spring conditions. Economists Gioomy The question for the politican—no less than for the banker, merchant and worker with or without a job— is whether the seasonal spring upturn this year will go high enough and last long enough. If it does not, the Democrats probably are going to lose the election, regardless of whether Mr. Roosevelt or some other is the candidate, As for guesses on business and employment prospects, both industrialists and politicians seem to be taking a wait-and-see attitude. Businessmen are rather more optimistic than politicians. .. Economists here for the most part are rather gloomy. Though they are not talking much for publication, they are not looking for any great improvement in the summer and autumn unless the President reverses his policy. As of the moment the President, like various business leaders, is still putting his trust in an armament boom. Unquestionably the armament boom will continue with both export and U. S. Government orders. But if that boom does not help gen- _ eral -business any more in the rest of 1940 than in the last six weeks, it probably will do more harm than good. : Spending Shifted

Government pump-priming and!

spending of course is not stopping. It is merely being shifted from public works, unemployment relief and farmers to aviation and armament. While in the period 1936-39 WPA and PWA expenditures were roughly from 50 to 100 per cent more than Federal armament expenditures, the estimated 1940 figures are almost equal and for the coming fiscal year armaments are about double WPA and PWA. The difference is that armaments do not spread purchasing power as widely and quickly as the earlier form of a “Government shot in the arm for business.” On the export side, the Allied Purchasing Commission has just announced that 75 per cent of its expenditures are going to be in.the aviation field. Paris announces that France—in order to increase purchases here of aircraft and copper, will cut other purchases—autos, radios, typewriters, films, etc. The net result of this foreign war business may thus be more unemployment rather than more jobs. War Exports Gain Farm purchasing power will be harder hit. January manufactured exports (war trade) were up about 75 per cent over a year ago, but ex-

ports of foodstuffs fell more than|m

50 per cent. As Secretary Wallace has just testified: “The speculative boom has flattened out. The war has hindered farm products.” But the Roosevelt budget eliminates farm parity payments for more armaments. . The Administration, by putting its money on the war babies, may lose its shirt in the election. Unless business prospects are much better in May than today, the Administra-

tion might try belatedly to shitt|i

subsidies from armaments to the unemployed and the farmers.

OCTORS stress remaining in bed until the body temperature is normal. Sound advice. You know how weak you feel after a cold: Colds play havoc in weakening the body. The story is well told in the blood picture. It is important to build back body strength right away to car-

ry the load of work, worries, and loss

of sleep. A weakened body may be more susceptible to relapse or long drawn out recovery. So reason sensibly and take the choice of millions by immediately starting on a course of $.5.S. Tonic — taken three times a day immediately before meals. In the absence of a focal infection or organic disease, you should note improvement in the way you feel and look within the first 10 days.

Bar. Political Activity by Committeemen. By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 4—The 130,000 farmers who sit on agricultural adjustment administration committees are not considered Federal employees and hence are exempt from the ban on political \activity set up by the Hatch Act of 1939, the. Agriculture Department lhas ruled. : The committeemen are bound, however, by the articles of association of the committees, which include restrictions on political activity that long | antedated the Hatch Law. Some Agriculture ‘Department officials| contend that these prohibitions go nearly as far as the Hatch Act covering Federal jobholders.

To the extent that the AAA ban falls short of the Hatch Act, however, the committeemen apparently could legally comply with a recent plea by Secretary Wallace that friends of the farm program work to elect Congressmen friendly to it. Officials point out that one con'sideration which would tend to keep ithe AAA from becoming a New Deal political machine is the fact that many committeemen are Republicans.

BOBBITT NAMES PLATFORM AIDS

Leaders From Every County Will Submit Ideas to Convention.

A Republican Program Committee for Indiana, composed of more than 100 party leaders from every county in the state, has been appointed by State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt. The Committee will hold a series of forum meetings over the state during the next three months to assemble data from which the Republican platform will be drafted at the state .convention in June, Mr. Bobbitt said. Most of the Republican legislators were named on the committee “because of their splendid service to the party” during the 1939 Legislature, the chairman said. “It is the desire of the Republican State Committee that every Republican be given a chance to express his convictions and opin-

for the platform.” The Committee has been divided into districts and each group will hold separate forum meetings and report its findings to State Headquarters here. “The Committee will serve the same purpose for Indiana that the National Program Committee did for the National Committee,” Mr. Bobbitt said. : oh The committee members are: FIRST DISTRICT.

Republican bosses in 1920?

more so than in ofher recent campaign years, the people will have little to say about selecting the candidates for President between whom they must choose in November. Circumstances make the inefficient, limited and inconclusive primary system, which will operate in only 16 states, even less effective this year as a barometer than it has proved on other occasions, while state bosses will have predominant influence in the selection of dele gates in the 32 other states.

Ir Roosevelt Runs If President Roosevelt runs again, the element of popular choice will then in a sense be operative, as far las the Democratic Party is concerned; for according to the polls the rank and file of Democrats seem to favor a third term.

nomination from his White House study. While this-would be achieved through the political machine at his command, it would seem to be a consummation devoutly wished by’ privates in the Democratic Party. But Mr. Roosevelt may not run. Despite all the third-term ballyhoo and the desperate dashing of state political bosses fo the bandwagon, there are some keen observers who

intend to seek a third term.

May Become Chaotic’ If so, and if he does not declare his intentions ahead of time, the party situation may become chaotic, with a bitter public battle at the convention between New Deal and conservative wings of the party. Democratic Presidential aspirants manifest an excessive timidity not characteristic of politicians. They have been frightened off from a test with the voters because they don't dare challenge President Roosevelt, not knowing what his intentions are. There is one notable exception. Vice President John W. Garner, who announced his candidacy some time ago, jumped boldly into the fight only to find himself confronted now with the discouraging task of standing against President Roosevelt in, to date, four states, Illinois, Wisconsin, California and Oregon. It looks like a hopeless venture. Strategy Aimed at Garner The objective of New Deal politi-

.| cal strategists is to kill off the Gar-

ner candidacy through the Roosevelt primary candidacy, since the Vice President has become the champion and symbol of the conservatives, thus leaving the field free to the President—either to take the nomination himself or to dictate the nomination. The practical effect of this strategy, if the President doesn’t want, the nomination, is to sew up the situation so that the nomination will be a matter of negotiation among the leaders. An analysis of the Republican situation also reveals the absence of any test of public favor, The three outstanding candidates to date are Senator Arthur Vandenberg, (Mich.), Senator Robert Taft (0.), and Tromas E, Dewey. Only in one state thus far, Wisconsin, is any ooportunity offered

and Mr. Dewey are entered in the April primary. Taft Alone in Ohio Mr. Dewey is entered in Illinois with no challenge from the other two. Senator Taff is alone in his own state. He may enter the West Virginia primary, as may Mr. Dewey, which would afford a test there, The New Yorker has challenged Senator Taft to enter the New Jersey primary, yet without acceptance. In his own state Mr. Dewey is challenged for a few delegates by Frank Gannett, the Rocnester publisher,

WASHINGTON, March 4 (Ui PJ), —The U. S. Court of Appeals today over-ruled a lower court and Ore dered it to hear the Government's monopoly charges against the American Medical Association. The Federal District Court for the District of Columbia had sustained a demurrer brought by the A. M. A. against an indictment charging it with conspiracy in restraint of trade under the anti-trust laws. The Government appealed the lower court verdict and today the Court of Appeals held that, while the charge against the A. M.
