4 a4AIN & e..ABLI ~NLFAI~, g~
Washington.--Many times, I have
written in these columns about the
confused state of
#'Big ~ot~" affairs ~ thef~
Coneulted eral. g~ht
~'-nd the Roosevelt
administration. I wish I were pos-
sessed of sufficient wisdom to un-
dertake an analysis of them, as they
exist now, for it probably would'be
helpful to all. But having no such
vast wisdom, I shall have to con-
tent myse]~ with the service of re-
porting on several circumstances of
recent~development and let it go at
that.
For several weeks now, we have
witnessed a steady stream of call.
ors at the White House. There have
been some labor leaders but mostly
the list of callers whom the Presi-
dent invited were the greatest of
American industrialists, the "eco.
nomic royalists" whom Mr. Roose-
velt has so roundly, denounced from
time to time, or whenever it served
political purposes to attack them
publicly. The purposes of having
these men visit the President, as
announced a~t the White House, were
to consult and try to find ways and
means of checking the current de-
pression.
As I said, these White House vis-
itors were the very "economic roy-
alists" whom Mr. Roosevelt has at-
tacked with such apparent satisfac-
tion throughout the last five years.
Indeed, among their number were
some of the "sixty families" upon
whom Secretary Ickes of the Inte-
rior department, and Robert H.
Jackson, trust busting assistant at-
torney general, have been heaping
abuse as the folks who "control"
America. Anyone who will take the
trouble to review the President's
speeches and the more recent bar-
rage of attacks by Messrs. Ickes
and Jackson cannot help wondering
if those men are crooks and if they
crush the "common pee-pul," as
charged, why their advice can be
any good now.
Nextly, it is hard to understand
why or how anything is to be gained
by consulting with men of that type
in a serious effort to solve the prob-
lems of the current depression and
set off dynamite under them at the
same time. That is what happened.
Mr. Roosevelt announced with ve-
hemence at a press interview that
all holding companies "must go."
They must • be eliminated from
American economic life and at
once; there can be no toleration of
corporations that are organized to
hold the stock of other corporations,
etc., etc. He has taken a definite
position on that before as regards
power companies and drove a bill
through congress to eliminate them.
This time, he wants to go much
further. Which is proper, if that be
his policy. But here is the peculiar
thing. Two hours after he made
his announcement, he had a dozen
men in conference who represented
the very thing he was denouncing
and was seeking their advice. It
seems paradoxical, to say the least.
On top of these conferences that
have brought scores of prominent
industrial captains to Washington at
the President's invitation, there is
to be noted an entire absence of any
administration action looking to re-
lease of business to do its part in
taking on unemployed workers. I
have talked to men in congress of
every shade of opinion and they are
all awaiting some word as to the
President's views. Their position is
that the President wants to take the
lead in mapping s program and
most of them, I believe, will help
him carry it out. They feel also
that for them to start development
of a program of their own makes
them subject to White House criti-
cism if the legislation fails to meet
New Deal specifications. So they
simply wait!
In the meantime, the depression
has sunk deeper and deeper. I
frankly believe that in some locali-
ties it is right now as bad as any-
thing we saw in 1932. Business men
are frightened to death and will not
expand their businesses because of
the danger that they will lose every-
thing they have, and individuals are
frightened and wil] not spend more
money than is absolutely necessary.
In other words, there is again a
lack of confidence that is appalling.
It seems to center on Mr. Roose-
veli as it centered on Mr. Hoover
in 1930 and 1931.
I can judge the whole situation
only by attempting to compose the
observations that I gather from
countless conversations. H this con-
sensus be accurate, then it would
appear that current fears result
from an inability of anyone to know
what Mr. Roosevelt will do next.
That ~s to say, the expressions
stressed statements that his poli-
cies "lack continuity;" that he
changes "overnight;" that he "at-
tacks business with one hand and
kicks it in the pants with one foot
md asks it to take the load off of
he government at the same time;"
~hat he takes advice "of a lot of
aincompoops on finances who can't
even balance their own household
budgets;" that he "won't let pri-
vate initiative do anything without
havin~ a flock of government spies
on our trails," and so on. I could
supply fifty more from my notes,
but they would be of the same ten-
or. And mind your a large per-
c'entag'e of these came from repre-
sentatives and senators in congress,
Democrats and Republicans alike.
Another phase of the general situ-
ation: " :~ ....
There has been a tremendous
drive against monopoly. This was
lead largely by
Dr~ve on Assistant Attorney
~onopoly General Jackson,
but Mr. Ickes and
lesser lights have helped carry the
ball. The attacks have been gen-
eral. There has been no distinc-
tion between good business and bad
business. The result has been that
every man'~vho has some money
tied up in business is wondering
whether he is going to have to de-
fend himself in some way, how-
ever careful he has been about
complying with the federal laws.
The fact was called to my atten-
tion also that many of the busi-
nesses charged with monopoly are
doing just what the government
forced them to do. The unlamented
NRA can be recalled without ef-
fort. Under the NRA, every unit
or every line of business was told
what to do and how to do it. Codes
of business practice were laid down
for them, bearing the approval of
the President, Since NRA was rele-
gatecl to the ashcan, we find a dozen
suits being prosecuted against busi-
nesses for continuing to do the
things tl~ey were forced to do when
NRA was the law of the land.
Then, I would like to ask what is
wrong that real trusts are not being
broken up. The Department of Jus-
tice has some able lawyers who
have been assisting Attorney Gen-
eral Cummings since the inception
of the New Deal. It appears to a
layman like me that five years ought
to be ample time in which to make
some headway against trusts and
monopolies. I am moved to ask,
therefore, can this new outburst
against monoply be a bit of poli-
tics?
• $ $
But the turning of the New Deal
wheel has brought one magnificent
appointment t o
Praise the Supreme court
?or Reed of the United
States. I refer to
the nomination of Stanley Reed to
succeed the retiring Justice Suther-
land. Mr. Reed has been solicitor
general of the United States and as
such has directed the nation's legal
affairs under Attorney General
Cummings. His service there, and
before that with the reconstruction
finance corporation, has been meri-
torious. There has been nothing but
praise of his ability and of his char-
acter. He stands out as a great
lawyer and fine personality.
The appointment is worthy of con-
sidering from two standpoints. Jus-
tice Sutherland's resignation and
the subsequent appointment gives
the present President control of the
court. That is to say, the known
division of the court between con-
serfative and liberal thought has
been switched from the conserva-
tive side to the liberal side by the
appointment of two men. Actu-
ally, it accomplishes for Mr. Roose-
velt the very purpose he sought to
accomplish by demanding of con-
gress that it pass the so-called court
reform bill a year ago, a piece of
legislation on which the President
received the worst licking of his
political career.
The second important considers.
tion in the appointment is the high
type of man named by the Presi-
dent. Mr. Reed is progressive in
thought. The New Dealers always
have counted him as one of their
number, but I find many people who
contend that Stanley Reed believes
first in the law of the land and in
obeying it, rather than indulge in
wishful thinking on a lot of silly,
untried schemes. The country is for-
tunate, indeed, to have s man like
Mr. Reed on the court.
And, continuing the theme of un-
usual circumstances, I think refer-
ence ought to be
~a~e a made to the ter-
Beating rific beating that
is being handed
the southern Democratic members
of the senate. They have been mak-
ing a brave fight against passage of
a piece of utterly assinine legisla-
tion-the so.called anti-lynching bilL
Men like Harrison of Mississippi,
Byrnes of South Carolina, Co'rmally
of Texas, and others, have been
holding the fort against this vicious
legislation. They ought to win, but
they probably won't.
I have seen something of the race
problem in the South, and I can un-
derstand what the basis of south-
ern objection is. On the other hand,
there is only one basis for the pres-
sure which Senator Wagner, New
York Democrat, is putting on the
bill and the reason why the senate
was tied up in a deadlock of the
filibuster type for days. That rea-
son is that Senator Wagner is try-
ing tp get control of the negro votes
in New York city's Harlem area.

SEW- YOUR- OWN
means most at this
season of the year when
dark and long winter
days make ti~e hang heavy on
your hands. You can get your
Spring wardrobe well started by
making these days count. This
is the time to sew and sew--and
then when the first crocuses show
their heads, you will be all r~ady
for Spring; your wardrobe in or-
der and the right clothes to wear.
With sew-your-own patterns and
a few yards of material, you can
make short work of this whole
business of sewing.
Practical Slip.
This four-gore slip is the choice
of every woman who likes com-
fort. The side panels prevent the
slip from twisting arid turning and
keep it comfortably in place on
the most strenuous day. The pat-
tern includes built-up and strap
shoulder--and you can make it
for your own wardrobe in a few
hours at a fraction of what you
would usually spend. Keep the
pattern, you will use it again'and
again once you see how really
comfortable this dress is.
Cheery Morning Frock.
No matter how many of these
informal dresses you have, you
never have eriough. So start right
in to sew now and make two or
three of them for Spring. This
dress (the one in center) is de-
signed on clever shirt-waiSt lines
and buttons from neck to hem.
Piping is used at edge of collar,
cuffs and pockets. It's the neat-
eat, trimmest little frock you have
ever seen. You'll enjoy it all
through 'the summer.
Sweet and Simple.
The figure at right is wearing
an afternoon frock that is as fresh
and new as a daisy. The gored
skirt flares,like a ballerina's and
the bodice is smoothly fitted, clos-
ing with two wide scallops
trimmed in smart ruffling. Wear
