The extent to which these co-operatives will go in their cohesiveness in matters of legislative policy cannot be determined at this early date. Nevertheless the mere existence of these bi-partisan blocs provokes serious thought among the responsible party chieftains. The attitude of the coalition toward newer problems of trade agreements, national defense expenditures, farm relief and taxation has not been clearly defined because they have not been afforded much time for determination of policies. The fact that the political complexion of the next Administration and the next Congress hinges upon the issues now before the legislative assembly contributes to the uncertainty as to what will come of it all. There is much ado on all partisan fronts about retrenchment in public expenditures but no agreement is in the offing. The Roosevelt proposal for national defense has provoked widespread comment. The early reactions forecast a "go slow" position in Congress. Some lawmakers contend that too much spending for armament at this time might be a forerunner of our participation in the European war. ^Others, having in mind the experiences of last fall which revealed the shortcomings of the belligerent's weapons, insist that this country should delay arming to permit further revelations under the tests of strenuous warfare expected with the arrival of spring weather on European battlefields. While there is a well-marked trend of sentiment toward keeping out of overseas wars, it is expected that the debate of certain proposed will accentuate the costs of hostilities in the people's minds. The Connally tax bill providing for a drastic overall tax levy to defray war costs will probably make the average citizen realize what the entrance of this country into foreign entanglements, would jnean in dollars and cents. A departmental error is said ta have been responsible for sending the recommendation into the welter of Congressional debate. The consideration of the proposal will undoubtedly project the Whole question of Presidential wartime powers into the political arena in a campaign year. Because polls and velvet hostility on the part of an overwhelming majority of voters toward American entry into war the Edison proposal for extraordinary grants of power to the Chief Executive even for an emergency rather than actual war and the Connally tax measure, which hits all pocketbooks, are designed to keep the Congress peace- conscious The reciprocal trade agreement issue so vital to the candidacy of Secretary of State Cordell Hull as the Presidential nominee is an absorbing topic. Some leaders would prefer early settlement of the trade policy to sidetrack the inclusion of the subject in party platforms this summer as a national partisan referendum. The solons are not all certain as to the effects of these trade agreements. It is stated that the State Department is disposed to over-state-ments ,as to the triumphs of their negotiating policies with foreign countries an not entirefamiliar with the effects on domestic industries. The Congressional axemen are whetting their weapons in anticipaion of an investigation of Secretary of Interior Ickes. The Cabinet Officer, a stormy petrel, forced the removal of Director Finch of the, Bureau of Mines and shifted eleven minor officials with Civil Service rating. The inquiry will probably break oiit in full blast when an appointment is made which requires Senate confirmation. Ickes is charged with discharging the veteran director because he refused to fix up reports to coincide with the Secretary's policies and also resisted the domination of John L. Lewis over this Federal agency. The Jackson Day dinner which is considered a Democratic love-feast was anything but. Reports of rump meetings before and after the dinner show that the political talk turned toward cliques which are struggling for control of the party's nominating convention. Those who expected the President to clear the atmosphere and relieve the tension as to his pi arts for the future are stillpuzzled by his remarks. Dinner guests from Capitol Hill revealed the rise of the Garner bloc, which is proceeding on their own way without regard to Mr. Roosevelt's wishes in the matter of a party nominee. Some speculation is evident about the policy which Robert Jackson, the new attorttey- General, will follow as to indictment of union labor leaders in the construction field for conspiracy to boost building costs! Jackson has been closer to the Inner Circle st the White House or the radical wing whieh counts on labor support. PIMM «S~ •• ' X-Bay |p. L. B.
