SGaDTTDB fl IUI ji rui ji w lllljfe By PAUL MALLON. (Copyright, 1834. by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 39. President Roosevelt does not tell all he knows In his speeches. Nor does he make his most affective speeches In public. That was evi dent at the re cent b a n k e r a' convention. The bankers came to town Intent on insisting upon 1 budget balancing and dollar sta bilization. In their resolution, adopted a few days later, they were Just as strong as ever for budget balancing, but the soft pedal was applied to stabilization. It was not even mentioned directly. ' The reason for that certainly could not be found In Mr. Roosevelt's pub lic speech. He made no promises on stabilization. Certainly something must have happened on the aide lines to put the stabilization Issue In the background. fa: 4 Paul Mallon Certainly no one will attempt to relate that Mr. Roosevelt made any promises on the side, but there Is reason to believe that he, or those competent to speak for him, did give the bankers a better private explana tion of the money situation than they had when they came. All that can be said about that now la that the common sense of the monetary situation might be thumb nailed as follows: The dollar Is stabilized now In fact. It has been stabilized on a gold standard at this level since last January. The stabilization Is what lawyers would call de facto. The only monetary uncertainty Is purely psy chological. That Is, some people fear this stabilization will be changed some dsy. What the conservatives have been wanting la stabilization de, Jure. That Is a complicated way of saying they want Irretrievable stabilization by law. The only way that stabilization would differ from the one we have now la that It would close the door to any future monetary action. Some of Mr. Roosevelt's conserva tive advisers who really know the Inside of the world monetary situa tion believe that kind of atablilza tlon would not be stabilization at Look at England and France. Eng land Is supposed to have an unstable ' currency, but the pound has been stable In fact sine the first of the year. It has not fluctuated much. Franca has legal stabilization, yet the franc In fact has been less stable than the pound. In other words, the de facto stabilization In the United States and Britain has afforded at least as stsble currencies in the last nine months as de Jure stabilization In France. A bigger point Is that Mr.. Roose velfe political advisers believe he would play directly Into the hands of inflationists and soldier bonusltes If he announced de Jure stabiliza tion TlftW. This Is the usual time of the year for the inflationists to start ouuamg publicity bonfires under the White House. They will probably have a bigger majority in the next congress than they had In the last one. If the door Is shut In their faces, they might very well tske the situation out of Mr. Roosevelt's handa by a two-thirds vote. At lesst the con gressional end of monetary uncer tainty would In no way be appeased by stabilization, but might be en ri ThKA views, mav not be in fallible argument, but they at least present an unpuonsneo pnowisrH" of B3me new recent Interchsnges 01 thoughts between the new dcslers and the bankers. rfc.-. i. vmm jifinlt word from the Inslds that capable Ambassador Bingham, at London, spoae onij iw himself when re ioia me msnm winv the other day that stabiliza tion was desirable. The little birds which chirp administration doctrines vrhlinff that Bingham's speech waa Inspected before delivery by State Secretary Hun, dui no oj ii These two facts may or may not be true. They are not Important. Anyone wno reaoa air. oingnara marks closely can see the real sig nificance of his address In four small words "In the long run." No one will disagree with that. Even the In flationist want stabilization "In the long run." If there are any Inter national negotiations for stabiliza tion now going on. they are so deeply concealed that the usual channels are unaware of them.

(UP) Republicans announced with con siderable flourish today that James A. Farley, In addition to being post master general and chairman of the Democratic national commit tee, had now qualified himself for the title of "the Roy Rlegels of politics." Rlegels was a California football player who picked up the ball find ran the wrong way. Farley's reaction to the bestowal of this new title was Impossible to obtain because, what with rubber stamps, green Ink, Upton Slnclalrs and other things that have made his life a bed of thorns, he struck back vigorously at the Republicans by leaving town. A brief recapitulation Is necessary to explain why Farley felt It neces sary to as the saying goes shuffle off to Buffalo and make a speech. In the last few days he has, un known to himself, signed letters urging: .1 The election of Upton Sinclair as governor of California (so far as Democrats are concerned, their only comment on that ono Is "ouchl") 3. The re-election of Rep. Carroll Recce of Tennessee, an enthusiastic Republican. 8. The election of tfirce senators from Montana, Instead of the con ventional two. Despite the fact that all three of those fumbles were caused by the fact that Farley's signature waa rub ber stamped on letters by his sub ordinates, the Republicans have been vigorously popping away at tin post master general until tonight most of them had a newly-discovered malady called orator's throat.
