(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINOTON, D. C, April 3. Mr.
Roosevelt's Democratlo congressmen
are doing a lot of cloakroom growling
these days about the mugwumps.
That Is the new name they have lor
the braln-trusters. ttie Anthony Ad
vocates and all the social-minded ad
visers surrounding tho White House.
It sounded bad, but all it means Is
one who "belongs to a political party,
and reserves the right to independent
action." That description tit the
advisers better than anything they
have been called previously, and they
have been called a lot. Howover, It is
an old political word and has accu
mulated some sinister Implications,
such aa a hint of radicalism, in Its
long career.
The Democratic congressmen, par
ticularly a number of southerners.
' offer the word In Its most obnoxious
sense.
More than anything else It shows
the Inner situation which has arisen
between congress and the White
House.
The congressmen say they have
been getting a lot of mall from home
during the last few weeks which has
changed their minds about many
things.
This mall has been continuously
laudatory of the president but In
creasingly critical of his advisers.
it has unouestlonably encouraged
congress recently to resist some of
the tendencies of the new deal. At
least it Is the excuse congressmen
offer privately lor the sharp over
throw of the president on his veto of
the veterans' and pay cut restora
tions. Off the floor they say that If
the administration is going to "throw
all that money away on CWA" It can
afford 200.000,000 or more for the
veterans. Also. "He Is Just listening
to the mugwumps; what do they know
about politics?"
Those arguments had more Influ
ence than anything said openly in
the debate.
Tho same feeling was noticeable In
senate action on the Bnnkhead cotton
control bill. What the senate did to
that bill was a thinly concealed af
front to the Wallace-Tugwell group
sponsoring the measure. A passed,
It would not control anything, ex
cept Wallace and . Tugwell. .
An amendment was Inserted ex
empting the first six bales for every
farmer. There are roughly about
2,000.000 cotton farmers. The ex
emption therefore could theoretically
apply to 12,000.000 bales. Only 13,
000,000 bales were produced last year.
In practice the exemptions would
be much less because the bigger
farmers produce the most cotton, but
the example Is striking proof of what
the senators thought about the AAA.
The AAA boys will have consider
able difficulty getting the bill back
In workable shape.
In other smaller things, there has
been a similar undercurrent of feel
ing. It seemed to be present In a
much milder way In the general de
mand for revision of the original stock
market bill.
It Is also a likely explanation of
why some Democrats were so eager
to sponsor an investigation of the
brain trust on the slightest excuse.
The next thing on which an In
vestigation Is likely to break out In
a serious way Is silver.. Sllverltes are
making the most of the undercurrent
and aro passing the word around that
Mr. Roosevelt Is being badly advised
on that subject. Blame la being
placed on Treasury Secretary Morgen
thau and Professors Warren and
Rogers.
It is rather thin propaganda, but
it is making headway In the senate.
There will be no surprise If the sen
ate takes the meaningless Dies bill
and lacks the important Wheeler na
tionalization scheme on It as an
amendment.
That would not mean much more
than another affront. Mr. Roosevelt
would veto the plan even If the house
approved, and It could not pass over
a veto.
When you boll all this lentlment
down vou will see It does not exactly
constitute a congressional revolt
against the administration. It has
the elements of a political maneuver
rather than a rebellion.
The Democratic congressmen do not
want to revolt against Mr. Roosevelt.
He la still too popular for that. No
attacks are being made on him. and
moat of the attacks on his advisers
are Indirect.
The movement has two purposes
In one:
To make political hay for the com
ing elections out of such things as
veterans, pay cuts and sliver, and
To blame It on the mugwumps-
Senator Wheeler has told newsmen
he has Insufficient votes to pass his
liver amendment, but has told the
silver people victory Is assured. What
he told the silver people represents
his best Jcdgment.

2. Not much news Inst coupl
of dnys from Astor'g fishing
smack. Pretty nice of Englnnd
to let our president fish m
their ocenn.
Spenkinff of ocenns, on
grand fleet of 110 ships have)
to leave this coast this week.
Japan says they havo heen in
their ocean long enough. VT
are ahont the only nation that
hns a fleet but no ocean to put
it on. The thing Ave ought tn
do is to dig a canal right smack
dab across the U. S. from cast
to west. Then when there is
objections from tho proprietor)
of the Atlantic mid Pacifio we
could cruise in our own waters,
something we can't do now.
