WASHINGTON. D. O., June 6. The
veaeon why the administration's
plans for congress have been so
much up In the
sir la that Preal
' dent Roosevelt
purposely keeps
them that way.
It causes a lot
of grumbling
among the some
what bewildered
democratic lead
ers and some talk
that Mr. Roose
velt does not
know what he
wants. The. same
i L w m m ViannPTlPrt
Paul Mallon
last year when he closed congress up
in a similar state of uncertainty.
But It worked out rather well then,
from his standpoint, and It probably
will again.
If Mr. Roosevelt came ou.
with a fixed program he would play
ji ti intn Yuk VianriH of his oppOBl-
ion. His opponents could talk his
plans to death. They could filibuster
until his adjournment date and be
completely victorious.
There would also be a howl about
dictatorship.
All that Is avoided by tne fact inv
Roosevelt lets lew people
entirely what he has in minu.
Those who are In the confidence of
the president expect passage of the
Wagner labor board bill, home mort
gage financing, oil control. AAA, sil
ver and the tariff, and adjournment
by June 23.
It any. of that heavy cargo is Jetti
soned, It will be oil and AAA. There
has recently been a decision of a
Louisiana court reopening the oil con
trol case, so that measure may not be
needed. The AAA amendments are
wanted, but the AAA can get along
without them.
Mr. Roosevelt has made some per
sonal plans which show how he really
feels. Private arrangements have been
started for him to sail on his Hawai
ian cruise about June 3S.
The best comment on the uncer
' tslnty of congressional adjournmenta
uaa offered by Nicholas Longworth
when he was speaker. A constituent
asked him when congress would quit,
and he replied:
"You had better see the chaplain of
lie house. He Is nearer to Ood than
I am, and God only knows."
There Is so much wire-pulling of
the personnel of tne new stock e
hange regulation commission that
nnnt walk around the White
JSouse these days without stumbling
ever half a dozen wire manipulator..
Both the liberals and the financial
men want "the right kind of men"
appointed, but they have different
Ideas about what kind of men are
The only thing considered certain
by both sides is that James winaio
of the federal trado commission will
be chairman. If you guess that Lan
ni. hrinn a raw men over from the
federal trade commission you will not
be far wrong. Commissioner Mathews
and Counsel Healey are both good
men. In addition, there Is strong
Vtotolnri Reniamln Cohen, who
knows more about the legislation than
anyone else.
Cohen Is being subjected to rather
strong objections from downtown New
Yorkers. Even some persons no mf
,rH friends there, have been pass
it. nnunn aeatnst him, using
fairly strong, and not altogether po
lite, tactics.
That may help to make his appoint
ment certain.
The new head of the federal com-
..oHnn. commission would be
interstate Commerce Commissioner
Walter Splawn If It were not for the
fact that his eyea have failed re
cently. He has spent some time at
Johns Hopkins. Physicians are yet
doubtful as to whether he can con
tmn hi Government labors.
Splawn Is, by all means, the beat
man for the post and, If he Is unable
to serve, no one knows who will get It.
The Job will be a big one. t-ommu

Pennsylvanian Chosen to
Lead Party Struggle for
Place in Political Sun
G. 0. P. Beliefs Set Forth
CHICAGO, June 6 p Henry P.
Fletcher of Pennsylvania was elected
Republican national chairman today
to carry on the struggle of the party
to regain its place in the political
sun after the national committee had
published a platform condemning
many policies of the Democrats and
pleading for Individual initiative In
stead of regulated business.
Fletcher, nominated by Mrs. Worth-
lngton Scran ton of Pennsylvania, re
ceived 67 votes of the 92 cast, John
D. M. Hamilton, committeeman from
Kansas, received 25 votes.
Hamilton was the only other nomi
nee. He immediately moved to make
Fletcher's election unanimous. The
balloting was completed at 3:3S p. m.,
(Central standard time.)
CHICAGO, June 6. fP) The Re
publican national committee, setting
out the party's platform for, the fall
elections, today announced a "liberal
and progressive attitude" but declar
ed war on "government domination."
The party leaders, approving a four
page document drafted by a "policy
committee," recognized that the
country has been "backward in social
legislation" and said such questions
"demand attention by the govern
ment." They declared, however, that Amer
ican institutions "are In greater dan
ger than at any time slnca the foun
dation of the republio" of being en
gulfed by the authority of "an all
powerful central government."
The statement of policy took the
form of a creed, setting out Republi
can beliefs. Among them were, "w
believe in an economic system based
upon individual initiative and the
maintenance of competition."
The statement added parentihetie-
ally that competition should be
"checked by government regulation."
The committee's statement, draft
ed as a platform for its campaign to
win back congressional seats in the
fall, was issued as the party leader
went into the second day's session
here.
