(Convrlght. 1935. by Paul Mellon)
WASHINGTON. Deo. 20. The
largest half of President Roosevelt's
PWA oollcv story was not voia. "
the prssiaeni
said was that he
would not again
ask congress for
a lump sum. He
would aeek spe
cific appropria
tions for specific
projects next
year, about nan
a billion dollars'
worth In all.
None of the
government mlm
e o g r a p h ma
chines was turn
ed on to herald what this meant In
the wav of restoring Washington
normality. The Ickes publicity
ma-
ohlne In particular
wns lamentably
silent. J ' .
If It had spoken, it would have
groaned that the Ickes PWA system
Is dead and done for. the theory
of congressional authority over pub
lic works is re-established, the old
"nork barrel" may now again
opened on the floor of
and senate, after an
the house
absence of
three years.
Note For the benefit of readers
born since 1932, It may be advisable
to point out- that the pork barrel
system Is the one tor sll and Ml
for one Idea. That Is, a congress
man gains support for his own pet
federal expenditure pork In his own
particular district by supporting
similar pet projects desired by
brother congressmen for their
trlcta. f
his
dls-
The announcement also neglected
tn .xnlaln why the executlve-alloca-
..,.tm nf expenditures -waa
being abandoned. Any congressman
nn tell vou. The downs who have
returned so far have been swearing
under their breaths that Mr. Roose
velt, would never again get a lump
mm .nnronrlation through congress,
You may recall he had difficulty
I... vr. This vear he would cer
tainly have been defeated on the
lump aum Idea. Even his own crowd
of liberal Democratic congressmen
would not have supported him on
that. -
The reversal of PWA policy was
proffered so gracefully that some
of the congressmen began to look
Mr. Roosevelt's gift horse In the
mouth. They found several teeth
missing.
The fact Is that Messrs. Rooeevelt
and Ickes, In the last two years,
have started nearly every large fed
eral public works project they con
sidered to be worth while. They
have reached virtually the bottom
of the edible pork barrel. It will not
break their hearts to let the con
gressmen chew on the rinds that are
left.
Also, their recommendations this
year will largely be for second year
appropriations to carry on the par
ticular projects which they have
already singled out to be started.
(Passamaquoddy, Florida Canal, etc.)
It may be Incredible, but the
main reason why Laval Is still pre
mier of Prance today Is because
Christmas Is coming.
At least, the best Informed diplo
mats here will cross their hearts,
or whatever they use for hearts, on

The British government, abandon
