The emi nent Dr. Tugwell does not generally speak with authority on the financial aspects of the new deal. Specially he did not at Los Angeles, If his speech there meant that the profit from gold devaluation is going to be ap plied to the debt so as to make the budget look bet ter any time soon. There are good reasons at this end for suspect PAUL MALLON ing that the doc- to did not intend to aay anything new. All he meant to do was to re iterate what Treasury Secretary Mor genthau has been saying for months; namely, that the debt will thus be reduced at some time. Far more authoritative financing sources than he within the new deal believe the proper time will not be reached until money gets tight. They do not see that time coming within a year or two. To use that profit now would add an Inflationary aspect at a time when It la not needed and would probably be harmful. The only thing It would accomplish is to give the budget a better political appearance. But therei is a better reason than that why It would hot be done. The gold profit la the stabilization fund. The treasury cannot afford to use up that fund as long as world currencies are flitting about aa they are. You may check off Dr. Tugwell's assurances as at least semi -political and wholly academic. Some men at the controls here are willing to bet even money that Dr. Tugwell will not have a Washington residence when the next campaign tart. They expect the White House to discover suddenly some day that the economic situation at Geneva, or something equally Important, needs Dr. Tugwell's personal touch, for the yer 1936. Nothing specific has happened late ly to warrant such a conclusion. The lor Angeles speech was not that Im portant. Nor Is the fact that his rural re-settlement program has de veloped administration difficulties indicating that the doctor's talents for administration work are not equal to hla philosophical proficiencies.
