Few realists seem to be deluding
themselves with visions of conditions
they would like to ha,ve, but are get
ting ready to meet conditions with
which they are confronted. They are
tired of politics. They offer very
little criticism of the president, even
In private. Sincerely, they want to
cooperate with blm and among them
selves. - - '
There will be. no more conferences
criticizing the New Deal program, but
several more things along the line of
the recent wage Increases. Theso In
creases may have been Inspired by.
the new taxs on undistributed earn
ings, trut were nevertheless a, fore
runner of a real cooperative effort to
Absorb unemployemnt, Increase pur
chasing power and, get things started
on s substantial basis. . .
The impending change of front Is
the best possible assurance anyone

in the Immediate future. It almost

The undisclosed events lead In? up
to Prof. Tugwell's departure may be
one, two, three, a follows:
1. Tugwell went to see the presi
dent and presented a grand farm
tenant plan, leaping upon the prob
lem In a big national way, creating
a federal corporation for the purpose,
etc. President Roosevelt told him to
take the Idea up with Agriculture
Secretary Wallace.
a. Wallace saw Tugwell, but could
not see the Tugwell plan. Wallace
had his own Ideas about a more
gradual approach to the problem.
9. Tugwell then went back to the
i president and attempted to put his
V idea over. That received no 'encour
' agement. At a later visit, a stenogra
pher Wtis called In. and a letter of
resignation waa dictated as well as
the acceptance. Some say the presi
dent dictated both letters at Tug
well's request, but no outsider Is In
a position to swear to that.
The presidential letter of accep
tance started off In the customary
manner: "Dear Rex.' Thus, Tugwell
Joined the exclusive "dear dash club"
of ex-New Dealers, who have been
awarded friendly letters on their de
parture. Membership of the club In
cludes: "Dear Hugh" Johnson; "Dear
Joe" Kennedy; "Dear Ray" Moley
et al.
v The name of the club ha develop
ed from the apocryphal supposition
that Mr. Roosevelt keeps a file of
resignation blanks so that all he has
to do is to fill In the name when
the proper moment arrlvea.
Newsmen here were rough on Re
publican National Chairman Hjnll'

T conference. They cuffed him around
the room with question.
What aroused them most waa Ham
ilton's plan to have the Republican
etna tors and congressmen furnish the
leadership for the 17,000,000 persons
who voted Republican November 3.
Skeptics could not stretch their imag
ination to the point of believing any
leadership could come out of such a
hodge-podge collection of economic
beliefs a represented by congression
al Republicans, with House Leader
Snell at one end and Senator Prarjer
at the other. As one sharp-witted
newsman told Hamilton:
"There will be no one to caucus
except Arthur Vandenberg, Preddle
Hale and Wallace White. They could
hold It In a telephone booth. Ours
tike Praxier and Nye will not even
attend.
Nevertheless, Mr. Hamilton atuck
to his solution, probably not because
he liked It. but because there Is no
other. The Indisputable fact 1 no

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 31. (
Government officials and, unions to
day considered possible federal Inter-
ventlon In the maritime strike in be
half of Alaska and Hawaii, while the
walkout spread to the Canadian west
coast with longshoremen deciding to
quit their Joba at Vancouver.
Col, O. F. Ohlson, manager of the
government owned Alaska railroad,
reached here and conferred with As
sistant Secretary of Labor Edward F.
MoOrady on plans to charter ships
for movement of necessities to Alaska.
President Roosevelt authorised this
move earlier In the week.
- The question of using government
ships to move supplies to strike-Iso
lated Hawaii awaited word from Pres
ident Roosevelt. The navy ordered a
survey of Its supply ships to deter
mine which vessels might be used If
the president-authorized the move.

These moves' were made a the re
sult of many appeals that the north

ning low on food and other necessi
ties. The attitude of the unions toward
government operation of private ships
remained to be disclosed.
- MoOrady announced he would In
form strixe leaders of the govern
ment plana and urge them to move
the ships.
Some sources expressed the view
unofficially that the unions might
not desire to cooperate by manning
the private ships,-although no gov
ernment official said specifically that
unions would he asked to supply
the personnel. -
After talking to MoOrady and
union representatives, Ohlson said
the strikers had offered "certain con
cessions" toward the release of ships
for emergency use. He said he would
discuss the matter further with
unions and shipowners Monday.

FEDERAL RESERVE
CREDITFREEZING
Hint Reserve Requirements
May Be HikedHeavy
Gold Imports Eyed.
WASHINGTON, Nov, 31. (fl) Ap.
prehenslvely watching a steady In
low oP gold, the federal recerte
board gave s strong Indication today
It may ,lnor&e reserve requirement
again, to curb credit expansion by
"freenlng" mora than $1,000,000,000 of
excise bank reserves.
After a . work of conferences about
the effect of heavy gold Imports on
the national credit situation, the
board, through Chairman Marrlner S.
Eoclee, announced that "careful con
sideration" waa being given to the
question "with a view to taking such
action st such time as appears to -be
neccssnry in the public interest."
; Reserve officials said this Indicated
a .probability that, unless the pres
ent situation changes, reserve require
ments may be further increased tn
January or February, after funds
withdrawn for the holiday .season
flow back Into the banks.
On Aug. IB, the board Increased
requirements by B0 per cent to elim
inate about $1,AOO.OOO,000 of excesa
reserve as a basis of "possible In
jurious credit expansion."
Under the law, It coud Increase re
qulrementa by another SO per cent
of the level existing prior to Aug-uat
IB.
Excess reserves are banks' idle
funda over and above those held as a
required reserve behind deposits.
Economists estimate that every dol
lar of excess reserves (an support
from 18 to 910 of credit. Thus, to
guard against - "runaway" credit In
flation, the federal reserve board
seeks to keep excess reserves at a
"controllable" level.
