Heart Man.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 21. Mr.
Morgenthau Is the number one man
now.
He has been concocting new deal
schemes for many months, but only
when he was .put on the Job act
ing treasury secretary did he really
il, assume the responsibility of direct
managership.
There ia no question but that he
Is the genius behind the new deal at
present. He O. K.'s everything Mr.
Roosevelt does. He la known to have
4 run out from a breakfast conference
to warn hla treasury associates that
they should make their views conform.
Mr, Roosevelt takes more relaxation
than any of his predecessors did.
When times get troublesome, he
tries to walk out on them as he did
late last week when he decided to
seek the comfort of Warm Springs.
The figures do not ahow It. but
business is better around the country.
Nobody can contact Mr. Roosevelt
In Warm Springa except those who
know his private telephone number.
He has one.
For publicity purposes he left Louis
Howe, hla good friend, and at times,
secretary, at home.
The major domos of the newspaper
profession are more or lesa aroused
by what they Interpret to be censor
ship of the presa.
They have noted very shrewdly that
Colonel Bert McCormick, publisher of
the Chicago Tribune, and several
other influential personages In the
newspaper game are interested In that
point. McCormick lias gone so far as
to accuse the administration of try
ing to perfect a censorship scheme,
Just as a matter of personal opin
ion, none of the so-called authorities
on the Washington situation have
been Influenced by that point. They
believe the president has no inten
tion of censoring the press, and they
feel sure that McCormlck's bugaboo
is Just that.
Major trouble Is brewing in the
New York banking situation. The
most select institutions have applied
to the R. P. C. for loans rather than
preferred stock. They want to issue
notes but Chairman Jones has turned
them down.
They are most Interested now In ef
forta to turn the new deal toward a
more conservative end. Jones will not
stand for that.
Within three months he will have
every legitimate and Illegitimate poli
tical enterprise working his way.
The banks do not know it yet, but
they will accept his preferred stock ,
Behind the Russian negotiations
(tana's the Indistinguishable figure
of Dr. Harold Kellock. He would not
dare peep about any or the negotia
tions conducted by M. Litvlnoff and
President Roosevelt, but he has stirred
the Imaginations of the Inner circle
with stories about the possibilities
, of A Russo-Japanese war. He under
took the confldentisl negotiations
which Mr. Roosevelt conducted prior
to the Litvlnoff visit.- and by his
shrewd tactics he has endeared him
self to the powers that be In the
state department.
Therein lies the whole background
of the promised Russo-Japanese war.
Authorities Insist those two are liable
to break out any minute. Our confi
dential agenu do not subscribe to
the general hysteria. They feel that
the general run of confusion In the
Japanese mind can be dissipated by
calm reasoning. They think the
Russo-Japanese war scare la Just ao
much hooey.
That Is what Is supposed to be the
low-down on Mr. Roosevelt's current
negotiations with Litvlnoff. The
)word hss been passed around inside
that you can expect orders (through
the R. F. C.) for cotton. Mr. Woodin'a
locomotive machinery and copper any
time soon.

Germany lias got everybody
all excited now. It sure seems
good to have all tho ills of the
world blamed on somebody be

This country is gradually
getting Democratic at that. See
where I. T. M"rgn had tea for
tho first time nt the White
House. Of course he took his
own ten, but it was nice of him
to drop into tho old frame hut
nt that. I tell you big men are
changing.
