WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 There la
only one thing which excites Wash

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
