By PAl L MALLON
(Copyright. 136, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, Fsb. 8. The Infla
tionary movement In congress was
admittedly dead at the start of this
session. What has
revived It lately
la no secret.
Most congress-
1 men will confess.
If In a frank
mood, that It
would be politi
cal suicide for a
legislator to vote
for general In
creased taxes in
a campaign year.
The perfect po
litical position for
PALL MALLON the congressman
who voted the two billion dollar
bonus bill and will vote the half bil
lion a year farm bill la to duck the
taxation responsibility entirely by
being for any kind of Inflation to pay
the bill.
It Is an especially Inviting escape
because they all know greenbacklng
will never become a law anyway. If
the senate doea not kill It. the presi
dent will.
Consequently Inflationary whoopee
you have heard so far la only a hint
of what you will near snortiy. ine
din will be terrific. Tet there will be
no greenbacklng, at least not at this
time and not In tnis way.
The ultimate proof of it lies In the
fact that there Is very little really
sincere congressional belief In money
manufacturing aa an economic policy
This la true even among some of the
men whose namea are now current In
the papers aa demanding It.
Thev will not admit such a thing,
of course, but they have betrayed
their personal distrust in tneir own
program In -varloua ways.- - For -4n-tance.
they recently abandoned that
feature of the original bonus bill,
although the original bill was the
beat legislative kite to tie ineir prim
ing presses to.
The fact Is the leading liberals in
congress have come around to the
conclusion that destruction of gov
ernment credit will hurt the poor
far more than the rich. The sky
rocketing of prlcea and chaotic fi
nances would also hurt the farmer,
aa they aee It. They do not really
want It.
There la more bookkeeping profit
In further devaluation than most peo
ple have suspected. President poose
velfs original devaluation was rough
ly 40 pel cent. It brought him a
theoretical gold profit of (2.800.000.
000. But that was based on a four bil
lion dollar gold atock. Now there are
ten billions.
The law now permits him to shave
only nine cent more out of the dol
lar, but that would amount, roughly.

THREATENS DELAY
NEUTRALITY BILL;

Proposal Termed 'Curious
Blend Homicidal With

Extend Present Measure
WASHINGTON, Feb. I. (AP)
Publication at the hitherto secret
attack by John Bassett Moore on
the administration's neutrality bill
brought Indlcatlona today the enact
ment of new legislation may be de
layed conalderably.
Chairman Plttman (D.. Nov.) ol
the foreign relations committee, bo
tore which the statement waa de
livered on behalf ot the former
world court Justice, aald today It
waa the "general understanding" the
document, made public by Senator
Johnson (B, Cat.), would be kept
secret until the entire proceedings
of the commlKee on the aubjeot
were published.
In the statement. Moors termed
the proposed bill "a curious blend
of homicidal with suicidal mania."
"I shall take up with the com
mittee," Plttman aald, "whether It
Is not advisable to publish the en
tire proceedings, both the criticism
of the legislation and tha defense."
Plttman conceded, however, that
the Moore attack, coupled with op
position of Johnson and others,
might so delay action on the meas
ure aa to force extension of the prea
ent limited neutrality bill, In which
an embargo only upon arms and
munitions Is Imposed. It expires Feb
ruary 39.
Senator Pope (D., Idaho criticised
the action ot Johnson In making
public the Moore letter, which waa
read to the oommlttee laat week by
Dr. Edwin M. Borchard. Tale univer
sity authority on International law
and severe critic of tne proposea
legislation.
"I am certainly going to ask that
the committee take up thla matter
of making public testimony given
in executive aesslon." Pope ssld.
While declining to reply to the
statements of Moore that tha bill
would create the "worst form of
dictatorship ever set up." Plttmsn
Insisted that It would not upset
the possibility for "soma neutrality
leglslstlon" this session.
Moore's csustlc opinion, sxpressed
during the secret senate hearing
and published today, spurred the
effort to alter the bill drastically or
scrap It entirely pending leisurely
rewriting.
Some legislators believed that no
new legislation could be enacted
before the present temporary law
expires Februsry 39.
