WASHINGTON
LETTER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.?Priv- I
ate pow-wows among Congres- j
sional groups during the last few
days indicate that the powerful
coalitions among Republicans and
Democrats, which functioned so j
effectively at the last regular session,
will be revived for this
term. The extent to which these
cooperatives will go in their cohesiveness
in matters of legislative
policy cannot be determined
at this early date. Nevertheless
the mere existence of these bipartisan
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 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 wide
spread comment. The early re- j
actions forecast a "go slow" position
in Congress. Some lawmakers !
contend that too much spending |
for armament at this time might J
be a forerunner of our participa-1
tion 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 J
with the arrival of spring weather !
on European battlefields.
While there is a well-marked
* ' I
trend of sentiment toward keeping
out of overseas wars, it is
expected that the debate of certain
proposed legislation will accentuate
the cost of hostilities,
in the people's minds. The Connally
tax bill providing for a dras- i
tic over-all tax levy to defray
war costs will probably make the!
average citizen realize what the j1
entrance of this country into for-1
eign entaglements would mean in 1
dollars and cents. A departmental 1
error is said to have been responsible
for sending the recommendation
of the Secretary of the j
Navy for commandeering powers'
in an emergency into the welter j
of Congressional debate. The con-!
sideration of the proposal will undoubtedly
project the whole ques-1
tion of Presidential wartime powers
into the political arena in a
campaign year. Because polls and
personal mail reveal hostility on
the part of an overwhelming ma- j
jority of voters toward American j
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 j
platforms this summer as a na- j
tional partisan referendum. The j
solons are not at all certain
as to the effect of these trade
agreements. It is stated that the
State Department is disposed to
over-statements as to the triumphs
of their negotiating policies
with foreign countries and not
entirely familiar with the effects
on domestic industries.
The Congressional axemen are
whetting their weapons in anticipation
of an investigation of Secretary
of Interior Ickes. The Cab-1
inet officer, a stormy petrel, fore- I
ed the removal of Director Finch
of the Bureau of Mines and shifted
11 minor officials with Civil
Service rating. The inquiry will
probably break out in full blast
when an appointment is made
which requires Senate confirmation.
Ickes is charged with discharging
the veteran director be- j
cause he refused to fix up reports [
to coincide with the Secretary's
policies and also resisted the dor.i- (
ination of John L. Lewis over this j
Federal agency.
The Jackson Day dinner which
is considered a Democratic love- j
feast was anything but. Reports j
of rump meetings before and1
after the dinner show that the
political talk turned toward the
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 plans for the future are
still puzzled by his remarks. Dinner
guests from Capitol Hill re-}
vealcd the rise of the Garner \
bloc, which is proceeding on their I
own way without regard to Mr.
Roosevelt's wishes in the matter
of a party nominee. Some specul- j
ation is evident about the policy I
which Robert Jackson, the new I
Attorney-General, will follow as
to indictment of union labor lead- j
ers in the construction field for I
conspiracy to boost building costs. |
Jackson has been closer to the
Inner Circle at the White House '< th
or the radical wing which counts 1 ar
on labor support.
