discussion was the adminlstrntion's re-

the chances of getting by with the
New Deal legislation lately passed or
now pending. Tile minority In con-
gress and such anti-administration or-
ganizations as the Liberty league were
aroused to new activities and attacks
on the President's policies. It was
said that the proposal was made to
Mr. Roosevelt that the "death sen-
tence" in the holding companies bill
be dropped for the present and carried
to the country In the 1936 campaign,
but that the President vetoed the idea,
insisting that the measure not be per-
mitted to die In conference. So the
conferees began the task of trying to
reach an agreement. Those for the
senate were four to one In favor of
~he death sentence; those for the
house, three to two against it. The

Philip EL Gadsden, chairman of
the committee of public utility execu-
tives, gave out an appeal for fair play.
He said:
"Millions of men and women who
have invested their savings In utility
securities are asking the question:
Are these savings to be destroyed be.
cause a few minor utility officials
have resorted to scandalous and even
dishonest methods In opposing the pub-
lic utilities bill? Is the small utility
investor to be penalized and the in-
dustry to be crippled because of Iso-
lated incidents of this kind?"

REPORTING for the eleven months
that ended June 1, 1935, the AAA
showed that Its expenditures totaled
$767,195,306. The report added that
for the eleven months funds available
were $918,045,145, leaving a balance
on hand June 1 of $150.849,829.
Expenditures were divided as fol-
lows: Rental and benefit payments
to farmers, $535,547,698; removal and
conservation of surplus argrlcultural
commodities, $10,043,550; drouth relief,
food conservation and disease eradi-
cation, $145,595,764 ; trust fund oper-
ations $11,746,526; administrative ex-
penses, $34,401,654, disbursement ex-
$737.0~Y5, and tax refunds,
$29,1~,107.
TWO to one against the New Deal
was the week's score in Federal
court decisions. The administration
suffered severely. The Circuit Court
of Appeals in Cincin-
nati first held uncon-
stitutienni the con-
damnation of land by
the PWA for slum
clearance. Then the
Circuit Court of AP-
peals in Boston dealt
the AAA a terrific
blow by declaring un-
constitutional the
processing and flour
taxes. The one favor-
Cheater able decision was by
Davis the Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans and was that
the sale of cheap electric power by the
Tennessee Valley authority was eonsti-
tutlenal,
Harold Ickes, who is PWA admini~
trator, said the slum clearance work
would be carried on, though necessarily
in modified form. But Chester Davis,
AAA administrator, openly admitted
that "the end of the processing taxes
would mean the end of the Agricultural
Adjustment administration In all its
important aspects." He would not con-
less that he believed for a minute the
Supreme court would confirm the rul~
lng of the court at Boston. He as-
serted he had expected that decision
to be adverse, saying: "That section
around Boston Is a hotbed of resistance
to the processing taxes. Why, it's
right up there among all those cotton
manufacturers." This was most ex-
traordinary comment from a high gov-
ernment official, but the Appeals court
in BoSton has not yet cited Davis for
contempt.
Most well informed and unbiased
persons have never believed the proc-
essing taxes would stand up under
court test. The Guffey coal bill has
some similar features so that those
who debate it should read these pars-
In the Boston decision:
"The power of congress to regulate
Interstate commerce does not authorize
It to do so by taxing products either
of agriculture or industry before they
enter interstate commerce, or other-
wise to control their production mere-
ly because their production may In-
directly affect Interstate commerce.
"The issue is not, as the government
contended, whether congress can ap-
propriate funds for any purpose
deemed by congress In furtherance of
the 'general welfare,' but whether cow
grass has any Power to control or reg-
ulate matters left to the state and lay
a special tax for that purpose."

DROPPING all their rebellfous ln-
dignatlen, the Democrats of the
house did everything the administra-
tion wished in considering the social
security bill as altered by the senate.
The conferees had settled all dif-
ferences after two weeks of hard work,
bq~ one of the amendments they ae-
cep~ed was that permitting private
pension systems to function under the
measure. The majority members of
the house were informed that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was opposed to this, so
they refused to accept it. The senate
would not permit the elimination of
the amendment, so back to conference
went the bill.
THOMAS D. SCHALL, the blind
senator from Minnesota, has been
one of the sharpest tongued critics of
the administration in the senate. Re-
cently he described
President Roosevelt
as a "megalomaniac,"
and, though the word
was subsequently
eliminated from the
Record, the Democrat-
Ic senators were de-
cidedly miffed. So a
little later Senators
Robinson, Black and
Bone found opportu-
nity to tell Schall
Senator 8chalI what they think of
him and to demand that he conform
to the rules of "decency."
The argument started when Schall
had read by a clerk an editorial from
a Texas editor, and an address of his
own--all critical of the administration.
Robinson protested. He asserted
"when one whose moral obliquities
are so great as are those of the senator
from Minnesota, it becomes necessary
for some one to object." He added
Schall "cannot shield himself behind
sn unfortunate affliction."
The Schall speech said President
Roosevelt was imitating Mussolini, and
that ]Jen Cohen, an administration aid
and bill drafter, hdd "assumed the leg.
lslative functions usurped by the Ex-
ecuUvc.
Robinson called Sehall the "mlsreP-
resentatlve from Minnesota" and ex-
pressed the opinion the senator had
"employed" some one to write his
speeches.
"It is small business and only could
be done by a man of small mentality,"
said the Arkansas senator.
Replying, Schail said, "If the people
knew what was behind this govern-
meat they would not stand for it n
minute."
SENDING floods of telegrams to
senators or representatives for or
against pending legislation will not be
so effective In the future, as a result
of the disclosures before the senate
lobby Investigators. They heard evi-
dence to the effect that large numbers
of telegrams against the utilities bill
were sent from Warren, Pa., by an
employee of the AsSociated Gas and
Electric system, that the messages
were signed with names taken from a
city directory and that the originals
were destroyed at Warren.
SENATOR J. HAMILTON LEWIS
of Illinois, a member of the for-
sign relations committee, long has
urged that Great Britain be Persuaded
to cede to the United
States her island pos-
sessions in the Carib-
bean see in payment
of her war debt. The
other day he was
moved to bring the
subject up again and
delivered an interest-
ing speech in the sen-
ate. This time he
based his proposal ttP-
on the "peace offer" of
Senator Lewis
England to cede a por-
tion of her territory in Somaliland to
Ethiopia, which In turn would cede
certain territory to Italy with a view
of averting the impending war.
The senator also suggested that Eng-
land surrender all rights she claims to
privileges of constructing a Nicaraguu
canal, recalling, as a precedent, that
England compelled France to yield all
claims to territory adjacent to the
Suez canal.
The British islands in the West In-
dies, the senator said, are both useful
as defense and necessary as protection
for the United States. They '*could be
seized in time of war between nations
fighting among themselves to possess
the Caribbean and Southern seas.
They could be used as the backyard
of the United States from which sup-
plies could be stored to be used in as.
sault on America."
E MPEROR HAILE SELASSIE ap-
peared before the Ethiopian par-
liament and made an impassioned aP-
peal tO his countrymen to fight Italy
to the death, declaring he had pre-
pared himself to die in the contest ff

, "Ethiopia knows how to fight to
preserve its Independence and its sov-
ereignty," he said.

,8, Laugh thing more than a
Not Enough laugh is required to
kill off a rumor. That
is one of the reasons why the Presi-
dent is planning if and when congress
adjourns to make an extended tour of
this country. He knows of rumors
going about the land that his health
is not up to par and he is taking this
method of disclosing to the American
people by action rather than word the
answer that he is physically fit.
Whoever occupies the White House
Is continuaUy subjected to whispered
rumors as well as open assert|ons of
one kind or another. Some, as in this
instance, reflect on the health of the
chief executive. Others, as happened
within the last quarter of a century,
reflected on the personal habits and
practices of the President. Still others
have related in times past to personal
fortunes and financial dealings of the
man in the White House. Usually these
"whispering campaigns" are of a de-
rogatory character. No one ever knows
exactly how they start nor is it ever
possible for observers to put a finger
on the rumors as they float by. It Is
a condition that seems to be bred by
prominence of the individual about
whom the rnmor mongers can operate
because people are always interested
in what a President of the United
States is doing.
In the current instance the "whis-
pering campaign" was largely unknown
to Washington until summer resort
residents began returning to the city.
They brought back all sorts of stories
that were being circulated in distant
pla ces concerning Mr. Roosevelt's
health. The gossip, for that is what
it appears to be, spread like wild-fire
In Washington and became of so much
concern that it crept into one of the
White House press conferences.
"Mr, President," one of the -'200 corre-
spondents present asked, "are you In
a little bad health?"
The chief executive's answer was the
laugh which has endeared him to many
people. He was Just back from a short
cruise aboard a yacht in Chesapeake
bay. His face was sun-tanned. He
leaned back in his chair and demanded
to know what the correspondents
thought about it. I think that the
news dispatches from Washington that
night indicated rather clearly what the
correspondents thought aboutJthestate
of the President's health, for surely
none of these dispatches Indicated any
particular alarm.
* $ *
Nevertheless. the rumors continued
to go and a good many thousand peo.
_ pie apparently be-
Let People' 3ee lieved t h a t Mr.
?or Themselves Roosevelt had bro-
ken under the strain
of his New Deal presidency. So, be.
fore the summer is over millions of
Americans probably will have an op-
portunity to see for themselves Just as
the correspondents saw at the press
conference that the President still has
his smile; that his halt is no more
gt~ay than when he took ofllce in 1933,
and that his countenance shows no ear-
marks of the strain which every Presi-
dent of the United States finds an in-
herent part of that Job.
One trip upon which Mr. Roosevel~
has set his heart is a tour to the Pa-
cific coast and return. It will provide
an opportunity for several millions of
Americans to see him and e lesser
number to hear him speak. It will
carry him through territory which con-
talns probably about half of the na-
tion's population.
It is well recognized In Washington
that no amount of denials by informed
persons or any amount of second-hand
testimony is sufficient to squelch ma-
licious stories of the kind that hart
been circulated about the President
The eye witness Is the only one who
is prepared to discredit such stories
and, unless present plans are revised
the eye witnesses will be many this
summer. The President probably will
make other tripS during the late fall
and early winter as well. Plans for
these are still In the making and their
length and number depends somewhat
upon the date of congressional adjourn-
ment.
The program fits well into the Roose-
velt methods. In the 28 months of his
tenure the President has done a con-
siderable amount of travel. He has
made three cruises on the yacht owned
by Vincent Astor, two of whlc~lasted
more than two weeks each. He trav-
eled to the east coast of Canad~ in
June, :1933, aboard the craft, Amber.
Jack, and returned two weeks later
aboard a navy ship. Last year, it will
be remembered, he visited Haiti, Puer-
to Rico, the Virgin islands, Colombia,
the Panama canal, ClipPerton Island,
and Hawaii. On l~ls return from that
cruise he crossed the Northwest, mak-
ing several speeches before reacl~ng
Washington.
In 1933 and In 1934 he visited Warm
Springs, Georgia, the colony where
victims of infantile paralysis are
nursed back to health and with which
the President, because of his own af-
flleUon, has had much personal con-
section. In returning from the 1934
visit to Warm Springs, Mr. Roosevelt
stopped at Muscle Shoals, Norris dam,
and Birmingham for personal vLslts to
points and things which interested him.
All Of these trips have been in addition
to periodical visits to his home at
Hyde Park, N. Y., and, apparently, all
that he needs to add to his mileage
this summer is a period of compare.
tire calmness In Washington.
If superficial appe#rances count for
anything, tits administration is actu-
ally making moves
To Reduce designed to reduce
De[icit the federal trea-
sury's deficit. It is
yet too early to tell definitely what the
plans are and administration spokes-
men are strangely quiet about them
but there are certain signs and por-
tents which may be examined in the
effort to determine which way the gov-
ernment is headed in respect of the
gigantic expenditures for public works,
relief, and general government costs.
While congressional committees con-
tinue to examine tax questions with a
view to enactment of legislation that
will increase federal revenue, the Pres-
ident and his advisers have taken steps
to cut down the drain on the treasury.
The first and probably the most im-
portant of these moves is the an-
nouncement that on November 1 fed-
eral aid to those people unable to work
will cease definitely. Relief Admlnls-
trator Hopkins announced after a con-
ference with the President that the
relief policy will be changed on No-
vember I and that the various states,
counties, and municlpalitles will be
expected after that date to look after
that segment of the population known
as the unemployables. These are peo-
ple who for one reason or another
cannot earn their own living by work,
Previously Mr. Roosevelt had direct-
ed his fiscal advisers to make a thor-
ough study of relief requirements for
the fiscal year beginning July I, 193(;.
While this is almost 11 months away,
the President told newspaper corre-
spondents that h~ desired to know as
early as possible what the burden of
relief would be in the future. His an-
nouncement was interpreted as having
a contraction with budget requirements
and prospective revenue under the pro-
posed new tax legislation.
Earlier, Public Works Administrator
Ickes had made known that the pro-
gram of public works expenditures for
Improvement of the Mississippi valley
and its rivers had been abandoned. It
will be recalled that the National Re-
sources board had recommended ex-
tensive Improve:uents to be carried out
from public works funds in the hands
of the public works administrator.
These involve vast sums. Now, it is
made to appear that the PWA und the
admlnls~.ration have In mind some
restraint on expenditures of that char-
actgr and that hereafter gigantic allot-
ments of a public works or improve-
ment character may be expected to be
fewer in number.
The result of this will be, of course,
to hold in the treasury some of the
total of the $5,000,000,000 public works
appropriation.
Reduction of the outgo for direct re-
lief necessarily will be reflected in the
remainder of the public works-relief
fund and it is reported that other plans
are in the making which will have as
their prospective end a res~oraUon to
private employment of greater numbers
of idle workers than heretofore flare
been contemplated.
Then, as another indication of ad-
ministration intention to restore .funds
to the treasury and thus reduce the
difference between income and ex-
penses was an announcement by Jesse
H. gones~ chairman of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance corporation. Mr. Jones
made known that hereafter the RFC
will not make loans to banks. He de-
clared that the banking structure was
in an excellent condition and that
further aid was not required.
The fact which Mr. Jones did not
mention In his announcement is, how-
ever, that the banks are exhibiting no
particular desire to borrow from the
federal government. The RFC already
holds preferred stock in almost half
of the banks in the country and these
banks, according .to RFC records, are
liquidating their obligations as rapidly
as they can do so. This is significant.

not include the additional list of re-
