"WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The
world court light developed near the
I end Into an Inner atruggle between
j theKooaevelt
j t family and the
v aggressive pub
llaher. William
Randolph Hearst.
, It Is no exas-
?. geratlon to aay
that the presi
dent f.nd flnt

i. the only Impor
j tant campaigners
i working on the
i Inside lor the
v court. Mr.
. Hearst's sharp-
UCN
PAIL MALLO.N
Wl shooting squad of advisers picketed
the senate chamber for the other side.
Theirs was the only active troop on
that side.
h ' There was no secret about It. Mr.
Hearst's promoters arrived on the
scene late, shortly after Mr. Roose
velt's court message to the senate.
They found everything was set for
easy adoption of the court resolution
and they started In mllltantly to pre
vent It. Their strategists got the
comedian, Will Rogers, speaking about
the subject, also Father Coughlln.
' The president countered their ac
tivity with competitive radio speeches
by Mrs. Roosevelt and Senate Leader.
Robinson Disinterested observers
thought Mr. Hearst rather won that
phase ot the struggle.
But when it came to buttonholin,;
senators and mesmerizing them, Mr.
Roosevelt- seemed to have the edge.
He was able to call them into the
yVhite House, while Mr. Hearst's men
had to confine themselves largely to
the senate lobby.
It was by far the best Inside politic
cal struggle that Washington has seen
in years. It will not soon be forgot
ten by either side.
The rumor is going around again
that Secretary Ickes has reached the
end of his tether and will soon seek
other pastures. A congressional wish
is probably the father of that
thought. If congressional antagonism
to Mr. Ickes has made Mr. Roosevelt
think any lesa bf him, the president
: is keeping It very to himself. All sign
Indicate that it really has made him
like Mr. Ickes more. That is not true
of some of Mr. Roosevelt's closest
White House associates, who share
the congressional viewpoint, In mod-
. eratlon.
The hush 1 supposed to be on the
stamp matter. Postmaster General
Farley's spokesmen have just about
. confessed the facts, Indicated that he
was victimized by friends, and are
hoping everyone will forget It.
The facts seem to be that Sunny
Jim took about ten sheets of stamps
In all. He paid the regular price for
them, 'three cent per stamp, prob
ably 60 In all. They may now be
worth $100,000 In the philatelic trade,
which apparently Is not on the gold
standard, but fixes Its values on the
obsolete law of supply and demand In
defiance of Mr. Morgenthaus gold
price policy. However. Mr. Farley's
people contend few, If any. of his
friends violated his admonition not
to sell them, and that the trade will
never see them.
His political opponents may not
permit him to forget about the mat
ter, but strong Inside forces are at
work to smooth It cer, and It will
not happen again.
It la not possible to give an exact
lino on what will happen In silver.
The sliver agitators In and out of
congress are trying to cook up some
thing, but ao far they have had no
fire under their kettle.
The treasury la trying to becloud
lta activities with secrecy, but la not
succeeding. One week recently it
purchased more silver than In an
previous week. Yet the Insiders all
know more gold la coming In con
atantly and the treasury Is not get
ting any closer to the proposed ratio
of 35 per cent with gold. Indeed, it
haa been purchasing sliver very care
fully In London since the Chinese
protested that we Were draining their
money. Purchases may be stepped up
as far aa possible until congress ad
journs and then the tresaury may
ease up.
The beat guess now la that the ex
latlng situation la likely to drag on
for a year or two. or three, and that.
In the end, the silver purchase act
wjll be repealed. That la only a long
range guess.
A leading New Dealer haa told hu
friends very much on the QT that
Attorney General Cutnmings was not
so wrong as everyone thought when
he said negotlatlona for currency .ta
bulation were under way with Oreat
Britain.
This unquestionable authority said
the New Dealers were actually dicker
ing wit.. London for a de facto sta
oiliration which wou'.d not Involve a
written or nubile agreement. Britain
Ir aupposed to have balked because of
uncertainty of sjprerne court action.

with their hospitality). There is

(There is no mediums). Now
they are trying to make
"Shorts" out of the "Longs"
and Ilney is trying to make
"Loiiis" out of not only tbo
