WASHINGTON, D. C, March 30.
If that brain truster were whispering
the truth In Professor Wirt's ear to
day, he would say this:
' "The Kocevelt revolution la Just
about over."
What Is bringing It prematurely to
a conclusion Is business recovery.
Thero was a time about a year ago
when Mr. Roosevelt could have done
some sensational lelt-handed revo
lutlng. Business would have stood
for anything. So would finance. There
was no political opposition nor any
other kind o' opposition. The presi
dent could have done anything.
Since t,hcn things have changed.
The opportunity has slipped. Business
and finance have found that they
" are not going to die after all. Their
deathbed psychology Is gone. They
are half way back to health. They
f..t t.viAii. Kt.rpntrth and are using It.
Each passing day makes them
stronger, and tne prospecw 01 - om
The only thing which can bring an
economic revolution (in tne European
sense) to this country now Is a new
economic collapse. That Is hardly a
chance worth believing In.
A studious European with a disin
terested viewpoint recently looked at
the situation In this novel way:
"Your . democratic . traditlona make
it Impossible for you to have a revo
lutlon such as there has been In Rus
sia and In Italy.
"Your people are tne second ana
third generatlona of the ambitious
people of Europe, those who wanted
to get ahead In the world and left
Europe for that purpose. Nowadaye
they want to own a home for them
selves. They want to give their chil
dren better opportunities for ad
vancement than they had. They are
discontented with their lot. They
are looking always for advancement
jh for themselves.
"In Europe It Is different. The
peon knowa there Is little chance for
him to better his lot and does not
worry about it. He Uvea his life In
an entirely different way. He con
tenta himself with what unambitious
beauty and simple comfort he can
get out of his surroundings, (jis
life Is acceptable poetry. Yours Is
ambitious business prose. Personally
I prefer the European way, but I
doubt that your people will.
"You may make reforms, but you
cannot legislate that inherent feel
ing out of your people. As I recol
lect you once put prohibition In your
constitution, but you still drank. So
will It be with the reforms you are
now enacting. 1 think your revolu
tion has been very mild.
"Your constitution and your lawa
are what your people want them to
be from time to time. Your govern
ment can go no further than your
people will let It. Your people are
ambitious and conservative."
In proof of these points ,he added:
"I notice that the popular organi
sation of labor In your country Is
the American Federation of Labor,
j which Is a non-radical Institution.
Tor your veterans it Is the American
Legion, also relatively a conservative
outrit.
"They typify the spirit of your
people."
"Radicalism Is a great equalizer,
which would better the living condi
tions of your poorest, but your smbl
tious people would never accept It.
They are Inherent gamblers with
fortune, who will take a chance on
poverty If they can also have a chance
for success.
'' "I will bet you that na matter
what kind of a stock marget regula
tion bill you pass, your Ingenious
crowd up there will figure out a way
to get around It and will have a
boom market within six months."
Half the Insiders In Washington
would probably agree with this analy
sts of the fundamental situation. The
brain trusters would not. Their oblt
I uary notice was published some time
Lugo, but probably Dr. Wirt did not
see It. At any rate, his dissertation
It founded mostly on what one of
them Is supposed to have told him
last summer. A lot of water has
gone over the dam since last sum
mer. Alw. If Dr. Wirt could get any two
brain trusters to aaree on any meth
od of procedure about anything, a
medal Is awaiting him at the White
House.
Here Is what happened: Mr. Roose
velt called in the college professors
to help him formulate his reform pro
gram. He found that college profes
sors are great on abstract logarithm,
but poor on political exigencies. He
found one or two who could soften
their theories to practical necessities.
But by and large they would die for
Vietr principles.
So he suggested that they suffer
torture instead of death and Invited
them (with come exreptions) to Join
his government either offtcta.lv or
unofficially. That would hav tn
all right for them except that he
also Invited a few pr?ona lira johr
aon. Hull. Roper. Farley. Currrr.iuai,
ft al, to alt In with him.
Th result is these bratn li i.sV tp
are fir more dismayed at the
minstratlon than you could -:ij:i y
be. They have found Mr. irwvr t

Florida fish bito for a Demo
crat. Mr. Hoover went down
there one time and they
wouldn't come to the polls at
all.
