Washington. March 8. ? The lirst real Presidential boom for ?940 has been> launched here with 'lie reception and banquet to Paul V. McNut-t, High Commissioner to *he Philippine Islands, former Oqvernor of Indiana and former Commander of the American Len >on. Political Washington lakes The McNutt boom seriously. It is tieing managed by Frank McHale, i)emocratic National Committee nan of Indiana, and is backed by lovernor Townsend and the en tire "regular" Democratic organi zation of t'he state. A McNutt :am paign fund is being raised by the "Hoosier Club" which collects two percent of the salaries of all ndiana office holders. What especially interests Wash ngton is that no sign of opposi Tion to the McNutt boom has ?;ome from t'he White Hou\e or ihe Democratic National Commit tee. This is interpreted in some quarters as,,, indicating that the President does not seek a third term for himself and is content* to let otherB scramble for the nomination ? always provided that the ones out in front are his 'riends. Won't Fight F.D.K. Gov. McNutt's supporters call Him "the first New Deal gover nor," and declare that he will withdraw from the race it Mr. Roosevelt should decide that he wants to run again. The present plan is for Mr. McNutt to resign his Philippine post in August and come back to the States to start a speech-making and organizing campaign. European affairs have taken the Japanese situation out of the limelight of political interests, a! least for the moment It is no secret' that the shift of England's foreign policy from one of almost defiance of Italy to one of con ciliation and compromise has re lieved the State Department of a considerable amount of worry. It is clear now that England is go ing the limit to prevent a Euro pean war, and that removes the fear that this country might be somehow involved in a conflict not of our seeking. The English reversal of policy, moreover, has gone far to set at rost the notion that any alliance with England could be counted upon. They have demonstrated again, it is held here, that Britain will always act for British inter ests first, and calmly disregard the interests of other nations, however friendly. Wooing South America Another phase of the European mess, however, is causing consid erable concern; that is the growth of Fascism in Europe with the imminent possibility that the Fas cist trend already noticeable in South America may grow. With German and Italian policies now controlling, or about to control Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Roumania and the Balkan States, there will be a powerful block of Fascist governments occupying all of Central and Eastern Europe and capable of putting a power ful drive behind the demand for colonial possessions into which to expand. The flight of the six American "flying fortresses," U. S. Army Dombing planes, to Peru and Argentine is regarded here as a piece of diplomatic strategy de signed to tie the South American republics more closely to the Unit ed States. It is the State Depart* ment's policy to try to build up an All-American united front against Fascism, though there are 110 official utterances on the sub ject. The situation in Brazil still gives some of the State Depart ment officials the jitters. Both #3erman and Italian influences are suspected of being behind t'he re ? ,:eently-proclalmed Fascist form of government in Brazil, while the number of both German and Ita lian eolonlsts settling in that and qome other South American coun tries is increasing. Recovery Thru Lending The recent renewal of t>he Re 'onstructiou Finance Corpora tion's offer to lend money to busi nesses in need of funds, is regard ed as /an evidence that the Ad ministration's policy of spending fey for "pump-priming" is ing toward a policy of help business recovery by lending. / iue theory that free.spending by tihe Government results In Increas ed purchasing power is bitterly opposed by the Treasury, the Fed eral Housing Administration and the R. F. C., among others. Opponents of spending say that money distributed in the form of wages for W. P. A. work does noti "work up from the bottom" to create pools of capital, which must be created if any great revival in | the capital goods industries is to i come about. It is in the so-called | capital goods industries that the ' falling off in production and in employment is the greatest. Lend j ing Federal funds to industries to help them expand and to make jobs is now being accepted as the soand method of Government aid to recovery, by many who former ly could bee no way out but/ ac tual spending. Plans and Politics """" There Is a sharp opposition from some Administration circles over curtailing relief. W. P. A. wants to keep on spending money, and has strong political backing To Be Buckley vs. Day? COLUMBUS . . . Whoever the Democrats nominate for United State* Senator, whether Senator Buckley, o f an opponent of the New Deal, he will have the oppo sition of a proved Republican vote-fetter, Arthur H. Day (above), Ohio Supreme Court Justice, who has announced hia candidacy for the Republican nomination. Judge Day is a CVsveland lawyer and World War ea|Kaiin, and was elected to the Ohfo Supreme Court Bench in 1934, with the highest percentage of votes cast for any state office. in Congress fronf districts which have been benefiting by the in flux of Federal funds. The bet ting now. however, is that there will be no more lijg spending af ter the $250,000,000 just voted for relief has been used up. pro viding the present "repression" doesn't last beyond*. midsummer. The end of the filibuster against the anti-lyuching bill and the pige onholing of that measure by the Senate has cleared the way for constructive legislation. One Ot' the important measures on which extended debate is anticipated is the wages-aud-hours bill, which good prophets are predicting will be passed in a form whii h will be acceptable to all sections of the country. The general principle of a 40-hour week and a basic wage of 40 cents an hour is expected to be maintained, with permissible variations for certain classes of industries and sections of the country, based upon statistical an alyses of the cost of living and otiher factors.
