Sept. 8 The ad venture of Secretary Morgenthau and the bond dealers during the last ten days may be nystlfylng to the public, but not to Mr. Morgen thau n c the bond dealers. They understand perfectly what happened. Also they understand each other better now, although, of course, they anything about that out loud. PAUL MALLUM T- outsiders. It may seem odd that the treasury was able to float a J500.000.000 note Issue this weeK at the same InKrest rato and ap proximately the same maturity as the la sue for one-fifth of that amount which failed a week earlier. It looks as f there must have been some bar:stage blood and thunder In the Interim. There was not. I The Inside story is not a iSovl thriller, but a modern fable In fi ance with a lesson for Mr. Mor genthau. You might call It the les son on 'Trie e.cononiir.inis and the Gravy Hounds." Master Mr. Morgenthau has been cutting down on gravy for the bond dealing hounds, month by month, giving them smaller and smai;r opportuni ties for a subsistence profit. In fact, some of the hounds have been bark ing among themselves that Mr. Mor genthau was not only an economizer, but a chlseler. They became convinced of It ' he started making them bid for bare bones under the auction, bid ding system of bond flotation. They decided to teach the economising roaster a lesson by going on a hunger strike when he put the hundred millions before them at the time they were In a period of liquidation with the banks. The strained period offered them a subtle opportunity to stress their feelings Now no politician will undertake to k' j a good word for bond deal ers but Mr. Morgenthau had ob-..i.u- .haroened his economizing th story is that thev fhouia u tne story No manu- f,r,r tr'1-S tn Chlsd prlCCS Oil hlS customers, at least not to the limit of taking sixteenths, eighths or quar ters of a point from them, especially If the manufacturer cxpc to re" main in business very lonsf?

Mr. Mor genthau eliminated the auction bid ding system ln the successful issue. He offrred the new notca at par. The disgruntled beagles Immediately over!krd their liquidation situa tion and oversubscribed the Issue. You may be reasons..' certain that, after this lesson, the auction bidding system will be used rarely by Mr. Morgenthau. If at all.

He as serted further "that at this moment stantlat and widespread recovery." The president gave his views in a letter to Boy W. Howard, publisher of the Scrlpps-Howard newspapers, who reported fears of business men and asserted, "there Is need to undo the damage that has been done by misrepresentations of the new deal." In perhaps his most complete ex position of his administration and his Ideas for the future, the president said he claimed no "magician's wand." but "wo do claim that we hr-e help ed to restore that public confidence which now offers so substantial a foundation for our recovery." Confidence Helurnlng "I take it." he wrote, "that we are all not merely seeking but getting the recovery of confidence, not mere ly the confidence of a Jiall group, but that basic confidence on the part of the mass of our population, in the soundness of our economic life and In the honesty and Justice of the purposes of Its economic mles and methods." Howard discarded hostility from "flnanc'tfl racketeers, public exploit ers, and the sinister forces spawned by special privileges," but asserted that many business men of "patriot Ism and sense of public service" be lieved the wealth tax bill "revenge on business" and expected a "recess from further experimentation until the country can recover Its losses."

(AP) The statement by President Roosevelt, made public today, that the New Deal's "basic program" had' reached "substantial ccipletfon" and that a "breathing spell" for Industry Is here, was greeted gladly by leaders of his party. Disagreement as to the value of the administration's program In business Improvement, however, was expressed by opposition leaders. Assertions similar to the president's had already been made by some of those familiar with his Ideas but they apreclated more public attention they sa Id. It was noted that the stock mar- ket moved quietly higher at the start Some Skeptical Skepticism was evident ln some op position quarters, however, where the New Deal has been described as hos tile to the constitution Itself.
