light at Wrong Time, Denny Says.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, ‘March ' 23. —The
st of campaign contributors in dit matic posts comes home to President Roosevelt in the Canadian bust of Minister James H.R. (Golden Boy) Cromwell, whom Secretary Hull has openly reprimand-
| ed, and the indiscretions of Am-
bassador Joseph P. Kennedy in
| | London. . It is all very embarrassing to the | ° President, just when he is trying
to quiet smouldering Congressional suspicions that the ‘Administration policy is dangerously pro-Ally. When | envoys abroad can serve him ai d the nation best by keeping their mouths: shut, some of them just can’t resist the platform limelight. Almost always these brokencrockery diplomats are the ama-teurs—-campaign moneybags or their relatives, political lame ducks or those kicked upstairs,’ and occasional literary figures., There are now 25 American Ambassadors and Ministers abroad who are amateurs, or “non-career men” as they are called. That is about half the total number.
' FF. D. R. Inherited System ‘Of: course the President did not
tom; he merely inherited its evils and perpetuated them, His party had been out of Federal office a long time; campaign debts were many and the “deserving Democrats” were legion. So the spoils system in half the diplomatic service was continued. On the whole Mr. Roosevelt did pretty well for peacetime in his appointments of: non-professionals, and he left to the professionals most of the posts which Secretaty of State Hughes had won for them. When the cost of amateurs became too great in the hot spots of some major Latin American and Far Eastern : capitals, the - Coolidge~ Hoover [Administrations 2 in professionals. Mr. Roosevelt improved on this, finally, by naming astute Hugh Wilson to Germany—the first professional sent to -one -of the European big three (London, Paris, Berlin). Just as earlier crises in Latin American and far’ Eastern affairs, and later in Germany, forced the White House to name trained career men. to those key posts, so the present war has revealed the
in London and Paris. This is all the more significant because the Rooseveltian amateurs belligerent capitals—Mr. Kennedy in London and Mr. William C. Bullitt in Par re exceptionally intelligent men, probably as able as any non-professional could be.
Welles Shows Up Amateurs
But the President has found it necessary to supplement his London and Paris representatives with the super - professional, Undersecretary Sumner Welles. Mr. Bullitt sees things very much through French eyes. Mr. Kennedy started out rather © cuddly with the British cousins, and then reacted—so much so that British War Minister Stanley has just cracked down on him for saying Americans didn't understand what the war was about. The almost miraculous skill of Mr. Welles in. carrying dynamite across the European Niagaras on a tightrope, and the steady stroke of "Ambassador Joseph C. Grew in the! Japanese crisis, by contrast have shown up the jumpy amateurs in our- London and. Paris Embassies. If even such superior men as Ambassadors Kennedy and Bullitt lack the poise and touch of professionals like Messrs. Welles and Cirew, obviously a playboy like Mr. ‘romwell can be: counted on to wreck things generally. From the reported text of his war-mongering speech, with ‘his exhibitionism about risking his head as a diplomat, apparently he is at least intelligent enough to know he is not representing the Cromwell-Dukes but the U. S. Government. That makes it worse. The Republicans can be counted on to take care of Mr. Cromwell, if he runs for U. S. Senator from

House Fight Expected
is learned today that a committee of House Republicans named last year by Rep. Joseph W. Martin (R. Mass.), minority leader, to draft a debt and fiscal policy, 18 reappraising the tinancial situation in. the light of the farm-bill additions and the increasing probability that the budget will exceed the debt limit. . The G. O. P. attack on Administration fiscal policies may follow the expected House approval | of the billion-dollar”farm bill. This approval will' not come without a fight. Some . economy leaders; including Democrats, will take the floor to urge that the House reject the Senate additions.
Earlier Economies Wiped Out -
There is talk in Congress of aponly enough relief money to last until February, leave ing to the new Congress the problem of appropriating for-the last five months of the. fiscal period. This
1has been done in other years. .
An attempt also may be made to eliminate the principle of the socalled Woodrum amendment to| the relief bill, under which no more than one-twelfth of a year’s relief funds may be spent in. one month. In his annual message, the President urged a special tax to meet about 460 million dollars in nationaldefense expenditures, but before the Senate wiped out earlier economies
it has been argued that sufficient
savings might be made to obviate such a tax bill. As of Feb. 29, there was $2, 471, 000,000 leeway between the Government’s total debt and ‘the 45-billion-dollar legal limit.

Meanwhile Chairman Pai Harrison’ (D.

The Senate opens. debate Monday on a House-dpproved resolution to continue the program beyond its June 12 expiration date in accordance with the request of President Roosevelt “and Secretary. of State Cordell Hull. Mr. Harrison, floor mansger of the proposal, conceded that the |struggle would be “one of the hardest” the New Deal has faced in its seven-year history, but added: “I am suré we will come out on

IDLENESS OF YOUTH

WASHINGTON, March 23 (U. P.). —Director Floyd W. Reeves of the American Youth Commission today described the idleness of 4,000,000 youth as the nation’s “number one unemployment problem” and urged a survey of local communities as a step toward its solution. Mr. Reeves said in a statement that although the problem must. be recognized as a national one it was “unfortunate” that: many communities tended: to “depend entirely on the Federal Government for: c= tion.” “This amounts to surrender of local initiative and results in the actual neglect of many young people during formative’ years,” he said. “The truth is that most communities are capable of solving some of ‘their own immediate. youth problems on the basis of their own
resources.” 2 Communities, he said, should ascertain the. exact work oppor-
tunities available to youth.
