Everything here la sup poses w yiyyw.v myj.twj "i"t aeriy. b cij mhuh flow, 'n turn, according to cua tora men, socie ty, and even news. For that rea son a dire prob lem h a a been created by the fact that certain eecret re porta from the busi ness advisory council have lately developed . ISCHIUM PAUL MALLON a way of getting on the front pages. The council was Secretary Roper'a Idea. Newa reader may recall that the secretary of commerce's council of business men was supposed to ex press views of business. The council members were to tell what they thought about the new deal. For a tune their thoughts, aa expressed In their reports, must have been un printable. At least these reports were eent to the White House and referred down the alley to a department for eternal consideration. They were made public only when they favored the aoclal security program or continu ance of the NRA. The last two rcporta of the council were on tho tax bill and the Guffey coal bill and were very critical. They mrs sent to the White House and referred, aa la the custom, to a de partmental filing cabinet. In each case a week elapsed and then the re ports appeared on the front pages. One was published by a foremost Washington newa gatherer and the other by a trade paper in New York. No one suspects President Roosc Tlt of slipping out these critical re ports, but there la ground for sus t pjelon that the business round! has developed a system of making Us Tlews known to the world. Whet happened is that the council givea the president a week to make Its riews public. If he falls, there are ways. A fancy Job of editing was done on the congressional record to conceal the fact from posterity that the house aat unconstitutionally for twenty minutes last Saturday night. The rec ord says the house quit at 11:47 p. m. That the house could not decide what to do before It expired at mid night, so Mr. Byrns defied the edict that time waits for no man. He told one of hla clerks to get a stick and atop the big clock over his head. It remained stopped until about half an hour later, when the leaders decided the mess was too big to be solved that night, and congress Adjourned until Monday. Smart lawyers may be able to fig ure out a way to attack the consti tutionality of everything congress did thereafter. But they will have a herd time proving it in view of falsi fication of the record. An editorial conclusion that this congress could not even adjourn con stitutionally, however, may not be far wrong. If new dealers will see Senator Cap per they may learn something to (Continued od Page Seven) FARM MORTGAGE BILL AWAITING SIGNATURE WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.
