M - t - By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, D. 0., April 37. There Is & little truth In what the Wall streeters and the liberals are saying about each other on the front pages every day, but not much. Their excited allegations are mostly old-fashioned ballyhoo for' their op posing sides in the struggle over the stock market bill. The Wall streeters probably arc spending lot of money (as the liberals say), but it Is not doing them much good. The advantage is all with the liberals. They have key men in congress with whom they work di rectly. The Wall streeters are work ing with perhaps half a dozen con gressmen (no more), who dare not openly espouse their cause. The Whitney-Redmond stock ex change group operates from a down town hotel, but Is rarely seen around the capltol. The Corcoran-Cohen lib eral cheer leaders march into councils with Chairmen Fletcher and Rayburn of the senate and house committee, even going to the extent of writing statements for Fletcher. Their ace under-cover worker, however, Is Sen ator Jim Byrnes, the South Carolina nonpareil, who covers the floor of tne senate for them. Their major Influence, however, is Big Bertha (their affectionate name for president Rooseveuj. All thio lobbying they do In the name of the people without spending a dime. The poor little rich boys from "Wall street haw been doing everything they could do to beat that lineup. They started out by (stirring up every em ploye of every brokerage house around the country to write and wire con gressmen. Lately they have branched out, getting manufacturer to bring prewure on the congressmen. That is probably legitimate, because every manufacturer who issued stock is af fected by the bill. The liberals recently made much of this phase of Wall-street lobbying when Rayburn discovered that cer tain amendments offered by the man ufacturers really had come from the stock marketers' mimeograph ma chine. The trouble with the Wall-street efficiency Is that most congressmen would Jump up and run It they saw a Wall streeter coming that la. If they though anyone was looking. All tbe cherges and counter-charges wilt boil down In the end to exactly nothing. A strong stock market bill will be passed within the next 30 days. Its major provisions will not be written In either house of congress. The real work will be done later In a confer ence of committees representing both houses. The way things' are shaping back stage now, the house margins pro visions, with some modifications, will finally prevail, es will the senate in dependent commission idea. That means you may expect a mini mum margin requirement of 35 to 43 per cent, and the market will be regu lated by a federal commission of three, to be appointed by the Presi dent. wall street will not like this, but it can work under such an arrange menfc. The best answer Mr. Roosevelt tip,' ured out to the Wlrt Hurry w to tv nurnev Baruch to tne naseoau game. Publicity experts considered it . mty.r stroke. Pictures of the President tossing out the first bill lwv cet wide public circulation, and. in them this year, Mr. Baruch t. t the right hand of the Fresl dent. It was the first time ho had been Invited to the White House In a long time. Speaker Ralney and Floor Leader Byrnes have been working furiously on the administration legislative yi" since the story got out that Mr. Roose it miiht change leaders nest year. Their feverish avtlvlty has not only irt.ii killed the McLeod bill, ob jectionable to Mr. Roosevelt, but also Is having an influence on silver. Ralney always has ben a brazen sllverite, but lately the silver bloc has been complaining that It is unable to get a word out of him on mai sv.oji-.-t You can bet your last cent that oermany will not get export credits here as long as sne continues nn i.ret-defaultlnc policy on her bonds. Those who are working out the export policy are agreed on that. The independent stock market com miaslon idea was considered a Wall street victory at first, but the liberals are coming around now to accept It. They realite Mr. Roosevelt will ap point the commission! and their group will be represented on it. The house leadership failure was discussed at Mr. Roosevelfa cabinet meeting last Friday. Tne state department continues to send up to conaress bills lor payment nf claims to French subjects. The houw foreign affairs committee knows ' more than to report these bills to the house. There la not a chance of French aubjects getting their claim as long as the French war debt po!:cy continues. (Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallcm.)
