The presi dent appears to be subtly wooing the veterans' bloo chieftains In congress . with posies. One such vet leader gets a bou quet ever so often In the form of a Tennessee Valley Improvement proj ect for hla home district. If the courtship lasts much longer even the air will be electrified tor his Some folks. Such flowers are favorites with all congressmen. They are guaranteed to win the hardest political heart. Intentions Nevertheless, some stronger wooing may be necessary to keep congress from going contrary to Mr. Roose velt' wishes regarding veterans' econ omies. It Is dangerous sub-surface Is sue, one on which the administra tion stands ft chance of being beaten. Mr. Roosevelt gave In a little By restoring about one-third of what the American Legion wanted. That failed to quiet the clamor, witn congressmen coming up for election , In the fall, the veterans' vote Is eagerly sought. Republican senators are guarantee ing that the issue will be forced be fore the senate for a vote., Action In the house haa been delayed. Chair man Rankin of the house veterans' committee has postponed hearings several times. Tariff Admlnlstrstlon mouthpieces have keot comparatively quiet about the fact that Mr. Roosevelt has had ft tariff message to congress on his desk now for days. As a matter of fact, he had a tariff message prepared for the last session of congress and did not choose to send It. The current one Is supposed to be In the form of ft report from Oeorge Peek, w.ho has been Investigating trade possibilities. Mr. Roosevelt's backwardness about releasing his tariff plans la based on the knowledge that they will raise a fuss In congress. He tore up hla first tariff message last spring because his congressional leaders told him the session would be endless if he raised that Issue. They are telling him the same thing now. In auch cases tfis president usu ally concocts scheme whereby he can get what he wanta without arous . lng the opposition. He Is supposed to be thinking along that line now. Mills Complete lack of comment from national Republicans on the Ogden Mills off-season keynote speech was not due to disinterestedness, but to dismay. The brilliant New Yorker's oration In Topeka was Interpreted by hie parly colleagues here privately as more funereal than necessary. They say the party must offer the farmer something beside the tariff and some ' thing beside generalized opposition. They did not realize what Mills was up against. He had to say some thing stimulating politically, and yet avoid specific Issues. The truth Is the Republicans have ft franchise on politics. They must run a street car over the line every so often or they will lose the fran chise. The Milla speech was Just one of those kind of csrs. Politeness Public works directors have adopt ed a slick scheme for turning down project they do not like. They cannot afford to reject offers for fesr of arousing sentiment, so they sttaoh Impossible demands to projects .they do not favor. In one case recently they approved a project with a proviso that 60 per cent of the money should be raised by private capital. They knew It would be Impossible to raise any such amount privately. In that way r' they get around unsatisfactory proj ects which are strongly backed po litically by prominent Democrats. Tape A typical political red tape yarn of Washington Is tft one about the aviation ground school location. The Issue has been up In the air for years. The army has been recommending an Ohio site near Dsyton. congress has been falling to follow the reeom. mendatlon for so long that tleneral rulola has tossed up bis hands and aald he does not care w.here It Is established If congreM will Just please establish it somewhere. Some yeara ago congress authorized construction of the school at Cha nute Held. Illinois. The war depart ment declined to spend the money. Assistant Secretary Trubee Davison said the appropriation waa "pure pork." Later Oeneral Tanchet of the air corps recommended Dayton but the .iouse appropriation committee again selected Chanute Pleld in the genersl pork bsrrel bill of 1932. I,at summer the PWA started to offer money for the school, mlthout selecting the spot for it. The Illi nois boys thought tiiat would mean selection of the Dayton site and they blocked the PWA movement. Representative Hsrlsn Is trvlng to . arouse the Ohio congressional gang. The Illinois crowd f sitting tight. The army still fsvor Dsyton quietly. Msenwhlle there la no satisfactory Khool.

Dollar Devaluing Opens Path to Huge Expansion Of Bank Credit Is Hope Commodity Prices Are Slated for Boost as Bank Deposits and Turn-Over Increase Under New Move By CLAL'IE A. JAOGER, Associated Press Financial Editor.) (Copyright, 1934. by the Associated Press.) NDW YORK, Feb. 1 .-President Roosevelt's proclamation devaluing he dollar approximately 41 per cent, as understood by Wall street monetary authorities, has virtually restored the dollar to the International gold standard and opened the way to a huge potential credit expansion. It is believed that stabilization of the dollar In terms of principal for eign currencies has probably been largely accomplished. As bank credit expands, bank de posits grow, and as the turnover of bank deposits Increases, that is, as check settlements accelerate, prices normally rise. The wartime expan sion of credit brought sharp Increases In commodity prices. The more re cent boomtlme credit growth of 1928 20 was reflected rather In a Jump In real estate and. security prices than In staple goods. Profit Use Unknown. How the treasury will use the more than $3,700,000,000 In gold "profit" resulting from the decrease In the gold dollar remains to be seen. Its first move has been to create a 2, 000 ,000 .000 stabilisation fund, to stabilize the dollar In the foreign ex change market, and to stabilize the price of government securities. The potentialities of this big addi tion to the nation's monetary gold stock, It was pointed out, may be seen in the fact that an Increase In the country's gold of nearly $3,400, the country gold of nearly $2,400, 000,000 from 1914 to 1929 was accom panied by a Jump In bank credit of more than $30,000,000,000. Further more, banking authorities explain, such an Increase In gold would sup port a theoretical maximum increase, according to the ' workings of our banking system, of several times that Stabilization Solved. The action of the President In au thorizing the treasury both to buy and sell gold at $35 an ounce, in the opinion of foreign exchange experts, may largely solve the problem of stabilizing the dollar, particularly in sofar as the gold countries are con-' oerned. It is therefore possible that the stabilization fund may not have to devote much attention to the In ternational money market, and may concentrate upon domestic problems. The problem of the dollar's adjust ing itself to Its Indicated Interna tlonal value Is complicated by two factors. Fi:st, there is the possibility of a large Influx of fugitive domestic capital now abroad, and .the return of the normal foreign investment in American securities, which might reaoh proportions unmanageable in (Continued on.
