Byroa The Bonus up Again Enough congressmen have signed the petition to force a vote on cash payment of soldiers' bonus on JIarch 12, de spite the expressed opposition of President Roosevelt which effectually disposes of the supposition that the ad ministration can do anything it wants to in the house. The measure to be voted on is the Putman bill to pay .$2,100,000,000 in greenbacks (printing press money) to the veterans, constituting an inflation of the currency, fiat mon ey not secured by a gold reserve. The bonus bill in all probability will pass the house, for all of its members come up for reelection this year and want to buy the veteran vote for themselves at public expense and avoid threatened reprisals. It is an instance of how organ ized minorities dominate legislation by coercion of politi cians. The measure will have harder sledding in the senate, for only one-third of its membership come up for reelection. Kven if it passes both houses, a presidential veto awaits it, for Mr. Roosevelt is opposed to payment at this time as de moralizing the nation's finance, and interfering with recov ery plans. Thus though the passage is an acknowledged venture in futility, the time of congress will be taken up with a flow of oratory and a record of votes for home consumption to strengthen the political fences of congressmen. When it is n question of national welfare or their own individual wel fare, our representatives can usually be depended upon to vote for the latter, especially when they realize that their votes simply constitute a gesture for personal popularity. Deposit Insurance Because of objections materializing and the stand taken by some states, such as Connecticut, making it illegal for state banks to subscribe to the permanent plan of bank de posit insurance, the administration has decided to continue the temporary plan now in effect until June 30, 1935, while a new plan is being drafted. The proposed new plan, discussed at a White House conference, include the features that have proven most help ful in bringing deposits back to banks. The permanent plan was found objectionable for instead of guaranteeing strength to the banking system in time of stress, it would probably drain the reserves of sounder banks when most needed. Figures gathered from operations of the present insur ance system shows that 97 percent of all depositors are pro tected by the $2500 limitation of the temporary plan, and that this 97 percent hold only 36.1 percent of the country's total bank deposits. By advancing into the higher brackets, as projiosed, there would be but a small increase in the num ber of depositors protected but a big increase in the hazard to the bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance corporation can raise $1,700,000,000 from subscriptions already made to its capital stock and from its present rights to borrow on notes and de bentures, which would be ample under the $2500 limit. Ex tension to the higher brackets makes possible unlimited as sessments feared by the banks. It is the small depositor that needs protection, gets panic stricken and causes runs, and with 97 percent of all deixisi tors safeguarded, the purpose of bank deposit insurance has Jieen realized. Safeguarding Royalty Prince Sigvard, Duke of Uppland, second son of the frown prince of Sweden has been disowned by the royal house of Sweden for refusing to give up the woman he loves a commoner, the daughter of a Berlin business man, who is an actress in a movie picture studio, where the 27 year old prince has been working as a director for several years. The action seems surprising for the royal family of Sweden is in itself of commoner origin, being descended from one of Napoleon's officers, Marshal liernadotte, who was elected to the throne by the Orebro Riksdag in 1810, as Charles XIV. Hernadotte was born as Jean Baptiste Jules Bemadotto, son of an advocate at I'ao, France, married a relation by marriage of Joseph Bonaparte and had a brilliant military record. His election as king was due to the futile hope that Napoleon would help Sweden recover Finland from Russia. He made a good king, better than most of those of royal blood. liernadotte's descendants married into the royal houses of EuioK" and have evidently forgotten their plebian origin, although quite democratic in other respects, engaging in industry and the arts with more than the average distinc tion. However the decaying dynasties still cling to the myths of fuedalism in a rather absurd effort to safeguard the dis carded divinity of kings. Prince Sigvard is not the only member of Sweden's royal family to wed a commoner. He has precedent enough. Count liernadotte, a cousin, married Estelle Manville of New York in 1928. His father. Prince Oscar, younger brother of the King (lustav, renounced his royal status in 1S88 to marry Ebba -Munch, lady in waiting to the queen. Countess Elsa liernadotte married Hugo Cedergren, Y. M. C. A. secretary in 1929. Prince I.enhait, son of the king's second son, mar ried Karin Missvandt, a commoner. Girls Make Plans To Help Treasury Grrvais The F.

A cool-headed faction among them decided the industry whs wrong in the way It handled the Hoose el t -Farley air mall cancella tion program at the start. This faction Is confessing aotto voce that the Lindbergh protest and the New York court suit were tactical blunders. Such actions merely Infuriated the administration authorities and put them In a position where a sensible compromise would be em barrassing. In the face of such tactics the administration could not concede anything without surrend ering Its whole position. The air boys may break out In a rash again, but not as long as iney Deucve thre Is a chance to get their contracts back. They will take a stiff cut in rate, and prom ise to be good. The new Belgian king. Leopold. was raised by his family rather strictly. He was not permitted to sow any wua oais. He is popular among his people. but In a rather impersonal sort of way. He is not known, for instance, in the same way the British know the princes of Wales. For that reason he has not had a chance to be revered In the same way his father was. His ascendancy will make little difference in International policy. There Is no chance for the Ger mans to gain a foothold In Bel gium, although they would like to. The Belgians will continue to walk behind France. Statesmen have their bad days. too. The day Democratic House Lead er Byrtis announced a soldier bonus bill was going to pass was the day he happened to have a heavy cold. That day everything seemed black to him. All was lost for the ad ministration. Such announcements are common in Washington. In winter they arc called "influenza statements." In summer, the name for them is "hot- weather announcements." The fact, at that time, was that a soldier bonus bill would certainly pass the house if a vote could be obtained. There was some doubt about the prospects of an early vote. One or two duplications were discovered on the vote petition. only lour or five additional mem. bers had signed during the pre vious two weeks. How the neces sary additional signatures were go ing to be obtained was not then apparent. Even If the bill should pass the house, it would still be a long way from enactment. On the soldier Issue the senate would not be so amendable to out side political pressure. Not because senators are any more noble than house members, but only one-third of them are up for re-election this year. All members of the house must face the soldier vote. Then if the senate should fall the administration, there Is always in the background the insurmount able obstacle of a presidential veto. The administration might per mit nature to take its course In congress so that the congressmen could place themselves on record In favor of the soldiers before elec tion time, but there is no Indica tion yet that It has any such in tentions. It happened some weeks ago, but only four people knew about the The representative insisted he A representative of the electric power companies offered his code and insisted on maintaining Its pro visions. One provision would have given the code control board Juris diction over public utilities. Mr. Roosevelt put his foot down on that. Tre representative Insisted he could not change the code, because he was only an emissary under specific Instructions to accept no changes. He was running around town from office to office for several days, crying, "What shall I tell my people?" He used the same line finally In a conference with Mr. Roosevelt. "What shall I tell my people?" The president leaned back In his chair, stroked his chin, and re plied: "Oh, lust tell them there a big, bad wolf In the White House." Labor Secretary Perkins was an hour late In appearing to testify before the house labor committee a few days ao. Congressmen sat around twiddling their thumbs. growing more irritated every min ute. The very next day William Green of the American Federation of Lab or appeared on time to te&tlfy, but the committee members were ex actly nn hour late in assembling. Mr. Given twiddled. The new deal apparently has not settled the mater of punctuality. settled the matter of punctuality, late, and then, again, perhaps It depends on who is late. Tn the house committee hearln?

The official denied he had any contracts with anyone like that. After an argument it was discovered the congressman meant Caechoslo-vakia. The man who has more lnfli ence on congressional adjourn meat than anyone else is the congres sional physician. Dr. Calvert. He tells the congressmen how 111 they are and when they need a rest. There have been indications lately that he has been working with Mr. Koosevelt to get congress out of town. Statements by Messrs. Farley and Early have always used the word "annulled" to describe the cancel lation of the air mall contracts. The assumption Is that there may be a legal difference between the word annul and the word cancel, so that the companies may be permit' ted to bid again within the five year probationary period. A telegraph company says its Val entine-day business tlua year was 50 per cent more than last year, which Indicates either that there Is more love this year or more money to express it.
