WASHINGTON. Tab. 5. A lot Of
people are making the mistake of
believing that the new deal la going
to draw Itself up in lta nationalist
shell because of
the beating It
got in the world
court. It cannot
be done.
The new deal

that erroneous
deduction to

day than they ever have been. One
f Impelling thought Is back In their
minds. Our cotton exports are run
ning 40 per cent below the ten-year
average. Other exports have suffered
as much since last fall, but cotton
has sounded the political alarm.
Clearly our foreign markets are shriv
eling up on us. Something must be
done, and something will be done.
That Is why there was a field day
of small talk from new dealers dur
ing the past week about foreign
trade. Statements came from Roper,
Hull, Sayre. peek and others.
tt Is true, but misleading, that
the White House was cold to State'
Secretary Hull's suggestion for a re
vival of the world economic confer
ence. It was cold because Mr. Roose
velt has not made up his mind. For
the same reason no presidential com
ment was forthcoming on the sug
gestion of Commerce Secretary Roper
for a world council to regulate pro
duction. These Hull and Roper proposals
are authentic administration trial
balloons. The White House Is care
fully watching, the results, -Shortly
you will see a strong new administra
tion program, not based on the
theory of Isolation. .
The Potomac river has risen a foot
In the last fortnight from the tears
ahed on Mr. Roosevelt's shoulder by
congressmen who feel deeply grieved
about the patronage situation.
Not much about It gets Into the
papers. The congressmen always come
out of such White House conferences
and say they talked about shoes,
ships, etc. It la evident, however,
that free-flowing congressional grief
has precipitated a critical party sit
uation. Mr. Roosevelt has been
touched.
No announcement will be made
but he will loosen up several tight
bureaus shortly.
One may be the farm credit ad
ministration. That Is a Juicy plum
orchard with 1.888 appraisers. Mr.
Morgenthau has kept It away from
the congressional plum connoisseurs
through his friend Prof. Meyer. Civil
service exams now are being held for
the appraisers, limited to those now
holding office, most of whom are
republican holdovers, n win oe
to change such plans, but Ocneral
Psrley can do It. If he gets word
from the White House.
Another Irksome thing Is that the
home owners loan corporation hires ,
men here and sends them Into the
field. Instead of hiring good demo
cratic voters out In the home pre
cincts. That situation will certainly
be corrected. A third bureau on
which Farley has his eye Is the D.
8. re-employment service. It Is full
of psls of a man who runs It.
- This would be enough to appease
the congressmen for a few weeks.
They would like to get their fingers
Into the treasury nnd Interior de
partments, but there Is no chance
with Messrs. Ickes and Morgenthau
holding out against them.
The other bureaus have played ball
with Farley and the congressmen
fairly well, especially the RFC. FHA
and. Incredible as It may seem, the
AAA (except for the 3.000 county
.cents).

Oeorge T. Frey, treasurer for the
recent president's birthday celebra
tion, announced today that the total
amount taken in from all phases of
the party was $424.65. of which a
total of 9342.06 was cleared. This
sura, while over $100 less than was
taken In last, year. Is considered a
good portion for Medrord'lrrtne- -national

balance to a greater extent than last
year, when more than $500 was taken
In and expenses amounted to less
than $25. This year expenses totaled
$81.80, covering music, hall rent, tick
ets, and one telegram. Al Stewart's

operation. Seventy per cent of the total bal
ance, or $240.07, will remain In this
community for the campaign against
Infantile paralysis, while the remain

BOURBONS AGREE
POWER FOR RELIEF
WASHINGTON, Feb. B. (AP)
Democrats on the senate appropria
tions committee today agreed upon
amendments striking out two entire
serttona of the administration's $4,-
8H0.000.000 work relief bill which
would have granted unlimited powerB
to President Roosevelt In administer
ing the fund.
Tho Democratic members were not
bound to support the changes before
the lull committee, called to meet
tomorrow to pass on the bill, but
predictions were freely made the
changes would be agreed to since
they also were largely approved by
Republican members.
One section the Democrats agreed
to eliminate would have authorized
the president to make loans or pay'
menta to "needy Individuals," to
make grants, loans or contracts with
out restriction, and to acquire by
purchase or the power of "eminent
domain" any property, improve it,
and dispose of It In any manner he
saw fit. V
The other section would authorize
the president to "consolidate, redis
tribute, abolish or transfer" the func
tion; and property of any emergency
government agency, delegate the
powers conferred upon him to any
government agency, and "establish
and prescribe the duties and func
tions of government agencies."
It also waa agreed to eliminate aa
too broad the words "relieving eco
nomic maladjustments from the sec

to require payment of the prevailing

being wages on these projects should

The danger Is Increasing raptdlj,

to parents, to see that their children

The children themselves fall to
realize the aerlousness ot the situa

skates in the business section, do so
only to retire around the corner and
mount them again. The chief said.
"We make them take their skates
off. But if we go around the block
I rF1 qc)tiyi we re apt to meet them
putting them on again, and our
force Is too smalt at the present time
to keep several men on duty warning
