Control. WASHINGTON, March 1 3. Mr. Roosevelt has revised hla strategy for handling congress. The change la working out badly. He started out by feeding the leg islative Hons one piece of meat at a time. He made them Jump through the hoop before they received an other. In that way he kept them under control. 4 That method led to too much talk about trying to make himself a dic tator. He eased up. Now he Is throwing meat at them directly and indirectly bo fast that they are fighting all over the cage. Half of them are trying to bite his leg. Audlaclty. A contributing factor Is the weak ness of the house leadership. His assistants over there are NOT work ing together. They fumbled the bo nus situation, also the revision of the economy bill. It takes first class cagemen, like Garner, Longworth and Joe Cannon, to run the house. The present lead ers are all good men, but they do not use the wAilp and pistol enough. Nobody expects the, 'senate to be subject to leadership. It has a su periority complex. But Mr. Roosevelt himself Is prob ably more to blame than anyone else. He has had the audacity to try to get through a tax bill, a tariff bill and a stock market bill in a campaign year. No president ever tried that before. Probabilities. The peculiar part of it Is .he w(ll ) probably get away with It. The cloakroom situation of his program may be thubnallcd as follows: Tariff. Bargaining power will be given Aim under heavy restrictions he did not want; but only after "a struggle. The senat will reserve the right to turn down the bargains he makes. Stock Market. The bill submitted by the young Anthony advocates will be thorough ly rewritten, modified and passed. Wall street will not-be satisfied, but partially appeased. Farm Aid. The Bankhead cotton curtailment bill can be passed only If Mr. Roose velt puts his foot down and Insists, He -will. The administrative amend ments to the AAA will be sanctioned, because few in congress will realize what they mean. Commodity mar ket regulations will go through as a tall to the stock exchange kite. Communications. It Is an innocuous bill merely con solidating existing regulatory bodies and will probably be passed, al though no one will cry If It Is not. Airmail Contracts. The Roosevelt competitive bidding Idea will be adopted with some slight modifications. Veta Cut and Pay Cuts. A compromise will be worked out and enacted. Sugar. A satisfactory compromise Is In prospect, with the beet people get ting about half wharf, they are asking for. Casualties. Dead and dying Items include: St. Lawrence treaty the Roosevelt power was not strong enough to ov ercome locsl iniiuence on senatora In a campaign year. Bonus T.he current argument is Just political by-plays, not even aer lonfly intentloned. Pure Foods D. Tugwell got dis gusted and went to Porto Rico. War Debts Too much dynamite even for audacious Mr. Roosevelt. He probably will not recommend any thing. 'f Tax-Exempt Securities Will not be seriously considered until next ses sion. Relief. It Is absurd to talk about adjourn ing congress May 15 In the face of this program. II Mr. Roosevelt wants to get rid of congress that soon, he will have to saw off part of the pro gram. His legislative henchmen have a sneakine suspicion that after he gets the tariff and stock market bills through, he may tell the boys to let the rest go. He has gone too far for that. The prospects are that the con gress will stay hare and fight out the lMUes. If It takes half the summer, and It mlsht. rit. tustncds will be glad to hear that NRA officials -have consolldater army off'cers as government representa tives on code authorities. This fits in with the more to get college pro favors alo. The administration Is straining to find unbiiwd men to represent It In tne place of the business men who now have dual loyablty. The army officers and college pro ffvors will undoubtedly lit In with the business representatives like a p'.ove tliree sir's too small. k Note.
