C, Sept. 6 There vu a poignant social note burled down In the dispatches from Hyde Park a few T days ago. It aald "Mr. TugweU yMl depart soon for Europe, whore he plana to Tls:t the major coun trlea and study their problems In relation to paral el ones heTe." That is the flrat anyone around here had heard about the rm taraln truster raul MaUon leaving the AAA at a time when the program for next year 1 being plan ned. A few of the higher AAA Insid ers had been expecting something like that, but no previous announcement had been made. Little general Interest was aroused because the famous Softball pitcher of the new deal Is known to be sub ject to hsy fever, and this Is the worst time of vear In Washington for hay fever sufferers. Only those closest to th squire of Hyde pari emelled more than pollen behind the trip. The casual way In which such an Important announcement was smooth ed over was enough to arouse some speculation. But the. suspicious souls had more to go than that. They re called, for Instance, that President Roosevelt tried to send General John son to Europe only a week or so ago. It Is not generally known, but when President Roosevelt offered that sug gestion the general looked htm In the eye end said: "If you want my resignation you can have It." No other reply was made by the general. None was needed. This Is not meant to Imply that President Roosevelt la trying to get rid of Mr. Tugwell. The only Impli cation Intended Is that, when Presi dent Roosevelt suggests Europe to anyone, the favored party has natural cause for alarm. Thow who believe that they know what President Roosevelt Is thinking about have an Idea that Professor Tugwell may not go back to the agri culture department. If he does, It will be only for desk space. There are good reasons for believing that the presl ) dent hopes to use his good adviser ultimately in a broader capacity, not limiting him to one subject. Tugwell la an Idea man. not sn executive. He Is a thinker, not an ad ministrative technician. His worth to the administration has been limited by the extent to which he has been saddled with administrative and exe cutive duties as assistant agriculture Mr.im. some minor conflicts of administrative opinion have arisen re cently Inside the agriculture depart ment to accentuate that fact. The result may be to thrust profes sor Tuirwell Into a more eminent ad visory capacity but not until after the congressional elections. His Eu ropean trip will last at least that Ions. .qnrh nn arransement should satisfy everyone. Including Senators Smith and Byrd and Professor Tugwell him self. Th wise men of Wall street have turned lately to new reading mate rial. They arc coins extensively now Into all the written works of Associate Justice Brandies of the supreme court and of Professor Fell Frankfurter. They are not doing It for pleasure, but In an effort to divine the next steps of the new deal. These two are rather generally ac cepted on the Inside as the phllcxo nh... h.i,inrf tH n deal, especially in relation to forthcoming soclsl re - form legislation (old-age pensions. unemployment Insurance, etc.) At least their writings will be more wholesome for the Wall-street minds than the trash they have been read in about the coming American boom. Slate Secretary Hull and the soviet ambassador said goodbye as if they meant It when Hull turned down the soviet debt ofrer. They were as angry as diplomats allow themselves to be. Mr. Troyanovsky took his !sm!ly and went oft Into the Virginia hills. Mr. Hull noted that step and also took himself to the Virgin!.' hills, but to an entirely different section, where hi." path wo;l!d never ernes tliat of M Troysriovaky.
