THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1938 Washington, D.C., March 5â€""Let us not throw away the benefits of our economy or burn our house down to kill a few bats in the attic." That statement is taken from the testimony of Mr. Bernard M. Barâ€" uch before the Senate Unemployâ€" ment committee last Tuesday. Other leading citizens have issued the same vminfi the Administration leadâ€" ers on innumerable other occasions. But unlike these other warnings, the Administration cannot pochooch the advice of Mr. Baruch by calling him an _ antiâ€"Roosevelt partisan who wishes to be a dramatic alarmist. He has been a personal friend of the President. He is recogmized as a stanch Democrat who has for many years made large contributions to the Democratic campaign coffers. Mr. Baruch is not unsympathetic to the professed social objectives of the New Deal. His criticism is diâ€" rected to its methodsâ€"to the exâ€" tremes to which it goes. Because of the "extremes" in what otherwise might be an acceptable approach to some given problem, the New Deal laws have often resulted in more ‘harm thin good. A greater evil is substituted for some evil sought to be corrected. The bats may be deâ€" stroyed, but the house is burned down! A concrete example of "extremâ€" ism" in legislative proposals is the socalled "reorganization bill" now being debated on the Floor of the Senate. The professed purpose or objective of the bill is to increase the efficiency of the Federal Governâ€" ment. That is truly desirable, and no one can for a moment criticize the objective. But the method proâ€" posed to accomplish that objective is "extreme." ‘The pending reorganization bill proposes to delegate the President almost unlimited power in changing the Federal Government, It will give him the power to abolish agenâ€" cies, establish new agencies, and consolidate the agencies. It does more than that. It goes so far as to vest him with even the authority to change, in whole or in part, a function of government whenever he sees fit to do so. In other words, the proposed bill would, as a pracâ€" tical matter, enable the President to change any policy of government decided upon by Congress. It is almost unbelievable! If there should be any one who doubts that such should be proposed, let him obâ€" tainâ€" a copy of S. 3331â€"and read Seeâ€" tion 2 on page 2 of the bill. The reading of the language of the bill itself should be sufficient to conâ€" vince one of the extreme proporâ€" tions to which the proposed law In reply to vigorous objections made to this‘ proposed transfer of power to the President, the Adminiâ€" tion leaders call attention to Secâ€" tion 4 of the bill which provides that the President must submit his Exâ€" ecutive Onders to Congress. That is true. But there are two signifiâ€" cant features of that Section which should be pointed out. They are inâ€" dicative of the ever prevalent exâ€" tremism, as well as the artfuiness of the New Deal draftsmen. The measure provides that the Exâ€" excutive Order must be submitted to Congress and that it will not beâ€" come effective until after 60 days. * Plumbing and Heating ELECTROL OIL BURNERS > §12%, Laurel Avenue â€" ‘Highland Park Shep Phone, Highland Park 271 â€" Residence, H. P. 499 Representative 10th Congressional (North Shore) District Hecketsweiler Studio Photographers 1 8. M. Johns Avenue M“M@ THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON boy has become a young man. Look at his last photograph â€"then urge him to have a new one made NOW. Have you realized the change? Your HOWARD MORAN If Congress does not act by passing a bill nullifying the Executive Order within the 60 days it becomes effecâ€" tive. Tt will be noted that it is not neâ€" cessary for Congress to ratify the Executive Order before it may beâ€" come effective. On the contrary, the New Dealers prefer to have it the other way, placing a 60 day limitation on Congress within which to act by way of nullification. If Congress disagrees with some Exâ€" ecutive Order, all it can do is to pass a bill nullifying the order, And it must do so within 60 days, otherâ€" wise the Order has the full force and effect of law. Why should the Administration prefer the "nullification‘" process over the "ratification" by Congress process? Is not the "ntmauon"‘ procedure more in keeping with the principles of our democracy? It is another example of the New Deal "extremism." A second significant fact is that if Congress is to nullify any Execuâ€" tive Onder it must pass a bill. That means the President can veto the hillfi and a vote of twoâ€"thirds of both Houses of Congress would be necessary to overâ€"ride the veto. It will be noted that the reorganiâ€" zation measure does not provide that an Executive Order may be nullified by enactment of a Concurâ€" rent Resolution, where the signature of the President is not required. That is to mild for the New Dealâ€" ers. That would leave too much power in Congress. Rather, care was taken to be certain that the President could veto any bill Conâ€" gress may pass to nullify any Exâ€" ecutive Order. To accomplish a reorganization of the government the New Deal adopts the extremest method possible. "To kill the bats in the attic,"‘ we are isked to do nothing short of "burnâ€" ing down the house."
