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

fallible argument, but they at least

be true. They are not Important.
Anyone wno reaoa air. oingnara
marks closely can see the real sig

will disagree with that. Even the In

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. (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.
Just In the nick of time there ar
rived a Republican relief pitcher
