WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. The big adminlatratlon thinkers are ready to a COU1 COO Mun wscj . v.s uww J I smart In handling the Inauguration of liquor. They realize they should not have ' held down Imports In the 60 days prior to repeal. Tftey say they were ralaled by domestlo dlatlllera who told them there was sufficient sup ply at hand for the first few months, The result is the whole business got off to a recognized bad start. There la a shortage which has boos ted prices to an unreasonable level. Bootlegging la continuing for Vie time being In this section of the country. Wets are running around cussing the trusts. It will be months before the sit uation Is straightened out. Liberality. Interested parties have dug up a letter on the liquor problem writ ten by Joseph H. Choate; Jr., a month before Mr. Roosevelt named " fic. It was printed In the New York Times of November 8, 1933, although he may want to forget It now. The letter shows how deeply Choate felt about proposals for stringent regulations. "It 1 circumstantially stated," he wrote, "that THE board means to prohibit the sale of hard liquors for consumption on the premises ex cept with meals. If so, it Intends to deal a crushing blow at temperance and law enforcement. "It seems to me certain. Viat the people want to regain the right to buy drinks by the glass." Placidity. There was not one-tenth of the enthusiasm advertised In this part of the country when the liquor stores opened. Private clubs did not generally hold celebrations as they did at the return of beer. There was little public merry-making. Consumers acquainted with friend ly druggists continued to get pre scription whisky In Washington cheaper than It was being sold in nearby Maryland liquor stores. Oth ers took advantage of bootleggers fire sales, buying what purported to be Imported stuff at half what the Maryland stores were charging. The majority of people paid no attention to It whatever, saying they probably would go over to" a Mary land store to get a bottle sometime before Christmas, If they got around to It. Advertising. Mr. Roosevelt is supposed to come out strong for t,h Tugwell adver tising bill In his coming message to ' congress. A confidential report on It has been submitted to the White House by the agricultural department. How strong Mr. Roosevelt will go Is NOT yet evident. Unless he speaks the measure will be radically revised If not snowed under with amendment on the floor of both houses of congress. There Is considerable inside Jock ylng by proponents and opponents Chairman Copeland tried to confine the senate .hearings to two days. That was a maneuver to keep the opposition publicity to a minimum. Educntton. Whenever the new deal gets In full f swing, you will see the administra tion move to develop culture and ed ucation on a federal scale. It will then get around to Improving condi tions for leisure and learning. That Is one of the subject Mayor Elect Ouardla of New York Is sup posed to have discussed recently at the White House. He has a plan whloh. he will offer In a national radio hookup the lat ter part of next month. Mr. -Hoover had one too but he never got to use It because the de pression overtook him. Farm Planning. The' cheering liberals now are confident that the agricultural pro gram will be further liberalized In accordance wltb their views. Only George Peek has heretofore stood In their way. They are NOT contemplating any large scale amplification of the pro gram but they Jiave several little theories they are going to try out from time to time. Perk. It is not generally known but Ag ricultural Secretary Wallace could vhave fired AAA Director George 'Peek any time he wanted to. The AAA Is under the agricultural de partment. There are several reasons w.hy Wallace let the White House handle the matter. One Is that Peek was appointed by Mr. Roosevelt. Anoth er is that Peek spent half a million dollars of hi own money In a in rere effort to develop farm relief in line with his own beliefs. His ability is equaled by few men In public office. Notes. Whether or not It la true, the ad ministration believe It galna strength in the west and south every time an eastern banker shout against Its money program. Peek.' friends are complaining l.teiy about Counsel Frank of the AAA employing relative In his le gal division.

WALLACE PLEADS FOR SUPPORT OF Agriculture Secretary Re views Administration's Ef forts in Address Before Federation Convention CHICAGO, Dec. 12. (AP) Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace present ed today a report of hta stewardship as champion of the farmers' rights and asked members of the American Farm Bureau Federation to bide with the Roosevelt administration's pro gram for recovery. Wallace sat on the speaker' plat form at the National Farm Bureau convention with George N. Peek, ad minis tra tor of the agricultural ad justment act, who .ha been appointed to another post outside the depart ment after disagreement with some of the Wallace policies. Peek Listens The secretary of agriculture ar rived after Peek had finished speak ing and Peek remained to listen to his address. The farmer should look upon the recovery plan, Wallace said, with a broad viewpoint, rather than -with a gaze confined to local problem or questions affecting any single crop or phase In the wide range covered by the AAA. Both he and Peek urged that far mers not be dissatisfied over slow ness In the program, and both de clared already much more good than appeared on the surface had been done. In only one respect did their re marks differ: Concerning the possi bility of increasing agricultural in come by export., Peek's new posi tion Is with a department which will seek to Increase such export. Foreign Mart Lost Said Wallace: A foreign purchas ing power for our farm products that before the war operated automati cally, as we paid Europe our debt to her in cotton and wheat and pork products, since the war ,ha shriv eled and almost vanished. "I hope that no enthusiast will try to persuade us now to loan mil lion of dollars abroad unless and until we are definitely ready to re ceive foreign goods in payment for the loans, as well as for the Interest on them." Said Peek: "The agricultural ad justment administration can not claim any credit for the recognition of Russia but the reopening of that market should absorb some of our surpluses. To Study Foreign Trade ' "The- whole question of foreign trade will reward, I believe, a very careful looking Into, There ha been set up an lnterdepartmont trade commission to study the entire ques tion of possible exports and Import, and on this commission agriculture 1 represented." Loud applause from the 1000 far mers attending the convention greet ed the outlines sketched by both Peek and Wallace of the administra tion's fsrm program, and it results so far. A resolution expressing faith In the federal farm recovery plan will come before the convention to morrow.
