| | LONDON (By Wireless) —This is a little late, but maybe some of you will be interested in knowing how long it took me to get here from the United States. || Well, I was exactly 24 days eoming from New York to London. It took 10 days to cross the Atlantic by i boat. I waited 13 days in Lisbon. And it took one day to travel from Lisbon to London by plane sind train. 1 The total cost was $590—$305 for the boat, $145 for the plane, $5 for the train, and $135 for eating, sleeping, heigh-ho and debauchery. | You are allowed to .bring into the United Kingdom only 10 pounds in English money, ‘The current rate of exchange is about : $4 to the pound, but down in Lisbon you can buy a pound for a little more than $2. If I could have changed all my money in Lisbon I could have lived for hal? price in England. a | | But that’s the point in not letting people bring in more than 10 pounds. |! When I arrived in England I had four kinds of ‘money—English sterling, American currency, {Portuguese escudos and some travelers’ checks. |

He Gets a Receipt for His Money

The immigration man made me list all of jit, and gave me a receipt, which means that when I leave I'll * be permitted to take the same amount out of the country. I don't know what leads them to believe I'll have any money at all when I leave. | | One of the things I- most looked forward to in “England was getting away from those dinner menus “in French and Portuguese that I wrestled with for two weeks in Lisbon. And now. that I'm in London, where people speak English, I find that practically all the menus, even in medium-price restaurant, are in French. It burns me up. | . | And to make it worse, most of the waitressés can’t _ read French, so half the time I can’t tell what they've got to eat. ; Just before leaving America I bought a corduroy “coat, a sporty one with leather buttons. Well, the other day I sent it out to be cleaned and when it came back this is the way it was described jon the ¢cleaner’s slip: “Genigs cream corded velvet jacket.” I don’t know whether I'll ever have the heat to wear it again or not. : i | There are about 60 American newspapermen here, including the staffs of the three press’ asseciations,

‘Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—In preparing the “blank ‘check” bill, President Roosevelt disregarded the rule ho place in foreign

affairs. He called in Congressional leaders to talk

over the legislation, but they were all IDDemocrats.

Not a single Republican was taken into the confidence of fhe circle. This is unfortunate, particu larly because of the faci that: the Acting Republican Leader of the Senate, Austin of Verinont, has been more than co-operative with the Administration Indeed he has used language stronger than Mr. Roosevelt has used in hacking up Administration policy. Yet he is excluded from consultation concerning this most sweeping “blank check” bill and’ must. éndure the : ! cloakroom taunts of his Repub‘licanvassociates who are not going along. by this exclusion of Republicans from such a vital policy dis‘cussion, Mr. Roosevelt only strengthens those who are looking for some excuse upon which to base their ‘oppositibn. {

Methods Are Important

Mr. Roosevelt's exclusion of Republicans is the more to be regretted because in the “blank check” bill Congress is being asked to surrender practically its entire responsibility over defense and the use to which itZis to be put. The measure transfers enorrious power from Congress to the President, and if this is justified on the ground of emergency, that is all the more rea‘son why both parties in Congress should be given opportunity to participate in the conferences. Mr. Roosevelt is inclined to brush asitle such objections as being petty arguments over method. But methods are important now in such affairs as this

which involve the whole future course of the nation. The differerice between democracy and dictatorship is one of method, This is not simply a plea for giving obstructionists more rope. In fact Mr. Roosevelt is only encouraging obstructionists by his tactics. He is doing just what every Roosevelt-hater predicted would

happen in g third term.

A Convenient Red Hering

It will be pecalled that while Mr. Roosevelt is quite fast on the trigger in asking that new power be given him, he is cautious about transferring any of his power. When it came to delegating power to the IDefense Commission, Mr. Roosevelt dealt it out in driblets and with much reluctance, When the Federal Reserve Board recently proposed répealing Presidential power to devalue the dollar, Mr. Roosevelt was too busy to hear. When he is proposing to take power from Congress, Mr. Roosevelt is all eager for quick iaction. When it is for him to yield up some power, then the matter must be weighed very deliberately. - The pity of it is that Mr. Roosevelt, by his method now, is dividing the country agiin, aggravating ithe fears, provoking resistance, inviting the injectior, of the broader issue of dictatorship and democratie control. In short, he is encouraging everything except aid to Britain, which is of such vital importance to/the defense of the United States. The objective was well sold throughout: the country. Fublic sentiment was moving in his direction. Now he has thrown it into confusion and civerted attention to the dictatorship issue—and, of all things, just 85 he is about t¢ be : inaugurated for his third term. The situation never needed, the deft toucl: of leadership as it does now. Yet Mr. Roosevelt wert at it with a meat ax.

The Republican leaders who shared the speakers’ platform with Mr. Schricker were Mr. Dawson, Senator William Jenner, majority floor leader of the upper House; Rep. Frank T. Millis (R. Campbellsburg), House majority floor leader, and Senator Edward J.

Green of Indianapolis. «Y do not crave power,” Mr.

hricker said. “I never Was a S is the last

thing I'm thinking of. I want to the duties of Governor

office boy.” Mr. Schricker also warned against tampering with the State labor conciliation setup. “Government should be impartial and fair,” he said.

Urges Conciliation

«All misunderstandings (between industry and labor) should be solved around the council table. In any dispute, both parties should gather as soon as possible in conference. They should .meet as men and not as enemies.” Under the G. O.

Tries to Be Fair “I want to assure you that your representatives will receive every consideration,” he said. “In the selection of committees, I have tried to be as fair as possible. “Selecting a labor committee was one of the hardest tasks of all. I don’t know whether it is going to be to your liking or not. The best I can do is to give representation to

everyone.” The labor program adopted by the conference delegates includes: 1. Liberalization of the Unemployment Compensation Act to include: Shorter waiting period; in-

payments; elimination of merit rating and present labor-disputes clauses, extension to include employers of one or more. Ask Primary Extension 9. Liberalization of the Workmen’s Compensation and Occupational Disease Acts, with provision for public eouncilor. 3.

LOSEY WEEKLY GOES ON SALE

‘Roll Call’ . Anti-War and Anti-Administration, ' Lauds Ludlow.

The first issue of the new magazine published by Carl Losey’s Fellowship Press at Noblesville went on sale today, thus ending a long build-up of mystery. The 12-page publication, known as the “Roll-Call—a National Week-

ly Devoted to Enactments of the Congress,” disclosed a decidedly anti-Adminjstration and slant. A back page editorial raps the “one-than Congress” idea, asserting it is time for the House of Repre-| sentatives to take back its delegated powers. The front page is given over to two articles, one boosting Rep. Louis Ludlow’s War Referendum Bill, and the other quoting exSenator Rush D. Holt’s “record in

working overtime to get the United States into the current war.” Mr. Losey, a former State policeman and long-time intimate of D. C. Stephenson, heads the Fellowship Press, which was formed recently to publish the magazine and the writings of William Dudley Pelley, former head of the Silver Shirts of America, a Fascistic organization. ;

TOMMY CORK’ REPORTED ‘0UT

May Enter Private Law Practice in New © York City.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY : : Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.— Thomas G. Corcoran—the “Tommy the Cork” who was favored by the New Deal and feared by its opponents—has told his friends that he expects to leave «+ Washington to enter law practice in New York, according to reports. Some other officials confirm the view that Mr. Corcoran no longer is to be with the Government— but they put it in somewhat more blunt language. on Mr. Corcoran resigned months ago as special counsel to the Reconstruction Finmanee Corp. to join the Norris-La Guardia organization working for President Roosevelt's re-election. He did not return to that Government post after the election, and although telephone calls are still taken for him at the RFC and passed on to him, he no longer draws his $10,000 salary there. :

But a high official of that department, with whom he conferred a day or so ago, said today Saat | job for the famed braintruster h not been discussed. .This official did not close the door on the possibility, howey and suggested that a m Corcoran’s ability woul able in the defense organization. Like others of Mr. Corcoran’s friends, however, he added that he understood Tommy wished to

practice law. Emphasis on defense: in the last six months has switched the spotlight off such top New Dealers as Mr. Corcoran, Ben Cohen, his New ‘Deal team partner, Secretary Ickes and others who were credited with masteraminding so many of Mr. Roosevelt's domestic policies.

The President has him to remain here, it is said, but whether any definite job was proposéd is unknown, Mr. Corcoran’s friends ‘say that he probably will announce his decision shortly after Mr. Roosevelt's third inauguration, ' seven days tence. . If Mr. Corcoran does go into law practice, two possibilities are suggested. One is a partnership with Mr. Cohen, often the ‘creator. of
