Departmental officials have been busy pleading * for more authority and money. Tfcfey now have full opportunity to devote their energies to the undertakings sanctioned by the legislative wing. New agencies have sprung up and housing space is at a premium. The Federal executives are confronted with a tremendous task in evolving procedures and rules which will harmonize with the statutes. The law-makers were free-handed in bestowing; control over industry, banking and the social life of the people: In fairness to the legislators itt must be stated that the new functions of the central government were not granted without challenge. The N6W Dealers openly solicited the increased burdens of public administration as part of their social and economic program. The four-months absence of the Congress will not provide sufficient time to test their experiments before the solons return to their official duties. Because of the loud and- bitter complaints among Congressional minorities that coercive influences were largely responsible for the extraordinary grants of power, it is not likely that the Administration will be heedless of observant critics. There is an election in the offing. A flock of adverse court decisions leveled against measures sanctioned by the previous sessions also contributes to the caution." The veteran political wheel-horses have suppressed the young lawyers and economists who played havoc with tlte New Deal in its earlier years. 1 It is generally conceded' that the Administration took a chance with court reversals when orders were issued to pass bills of doubtful constitutionality. The legislators were particularly skeptical of the Guffey measure to control the bituminous coal industry. It was facetiously called the "Goofey iiill" and taken as a forerunner of regulation of other industries. By some, the coal bill, 5s considered as a substitute for the defunct NRA act. Reports are current that the Roosevelt camp has not abandoned the NRA idea and will press for something of the kind at the next session. This opinion is probably predicated on the whisper^ that several Congressional committee" will be called back two months before the next formal meeting. It is bruited about town that the remnants of the NRA machinery now making intensive studies of selected industries have been ordered to finish their preliminary work by November. Not knowing what use will be made of their information, industries are not. going; beyond t^e bounds of courtesy in co-operating with! the NRA investigators. Elderly folks who expect to qualify as beneficiaries under the social security law are due for heart-aches. Certain hard and fast rules regarding cooperation with states have been laid down in the new statute and the states must comply with the stand-' ards so set. Considering the fact tljat 42 state legislators meet only at twoyear intervals, it is obvious that some time must elapse before a majority of the states can And th/bir way clear to qualify for Federal grants. About 35 states have some form of old age assistance but revision will be necessary to conform to the enumerated requirements of ttye Federal act. The statute also faces long-drawn court contests. An official statement issued Aug. 26 shows that the. Agricultural Aa* justinent Adminisration paid out $563,438,812 during the fiscal y„ear ended June 30 in rental and benefit payments to farmers" under adjusttnent contracts in five commodity programs. In addition, $148,520,000 expenses for drought relief, food conservation and disease eradication activities were reported. As an illustration of variable human nature, scouts returning from political surveys ra» port disquieting sjrmptoms among the" beneficiaries. Resentment has been noted among farmers who "plowed under" for a consideration. Their peevishness is due to sky-rocketing prices for their products and no pigs or other profitable items on hand to meet a boom market. Oyr diplomatic activities having todo with delicate questions of foreigii policy will undoubtedly more expeditiously with Congress away. Unfamiliar with the political motives back of Congressional interference with statecraft, the diplomats felt that European chancellories and petopfo might easily misconstrue the blustering at the Capitol. So sensitive at© peoples on the brink of war that even / a few speeches by ill-informed demagogues mighft involve this country in an international mess. ' More Valuable Than Platinum 'N'.
