Thursday, June 8, 1939 WASHINGTON Washington, June B—Most of the talk about economy in Gov ernment is turning out to be ex actly what experienced political observers have been predicting it would turn out to be —just talk. That goes for Congress and for the Executive branch of the Gov ernment as'well. It goes for Re publicans and Democrats in Con gress, for New Dealers and for conservative Democrats as well. The plain fact is that politi cians are not alarmed over the increasing national debt, but are concerned with appropriating more money which has to be borrowed, and distributing the borrowed money where it will do them, personally, or their party organizations, the most good. Two recent instances indicate this attitude in Washington, where the present Government policy is described as "lending spending." One is the address of President Roosevelt to the con vention of the American Retail Federation. The other is the ac quiescence of Senators and Rep resentatives of all shades of po- Safety!

POWER COMPANY litical opinion, of every party and faction, in agreeing to add $400,- 000.000 to the expenditures for farm relief, without a record vote. The President's talk to the re tailers is regarded here as a statement of the Administration policy in regard to debt and taxes. The President said, in effect, that there is no need for anyone to be concerned about the growth of the public debt, since the peo ple are borrowing money from themselves anyway; and that the borrowed money is being spent for things which benefit every body and will eventually result in improving business conditions. Advocated by Eccles This is substantially the policy which has been advocated by Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, whose influence with the President in financial matters is now consid ered to be greater than that of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Treasury is, however, more closely in accord with the Presi dent on the matter of tax revi sion than it has been for some weeks. The Treasury's attitude has been for a long time that the only way to increase the nation al income, which means the in dividual incomes of citizens and business enterprises, is to repeal or modify the taxes which pre vent idle capital from engaging in new enterprises or expanding old ones. The President has been strong ly opposed to tax reductions which are not compensated for by additional taxes in other di rections. How far he will go along with Congress and the Treasury remains to be seen. There has been a noticeable shift in the atmosphere of polit ical Washington in recent weeks. It can hardly be said that the op position to the President and his policies within the ranks of his own party has diminished mater ially, but there are outward signs of a more friendly feeling on both sides. Expert sign -readers interpret the present siatuation as indicat ing that the President is hopeful of reuniting the Democratic party so as to insure himself a third term nomination, and that all but a few of his most bitter oppon ents inside the party are begin ning to wonder whether the Dem ocrats have a chance to elect anyone in IS4O except Mr. Roose velt himself. If that opinion becomes a con viction, party expediency and the personal political futures of num erous Democratic leaders will over-rule personal antipathies and dictate the support of the Presi dent for a third term. Garner Boom Alive That is not to say that the Garner boom for the Presidential nomination is dead. It is still very much alive. But Democrats are asking themselves and each other whether it would be safe to put up anybody with a less wide spread personal following than Mr. Roosevelt himself, to contest against whatever candidate the Republicans may nomination.

Next week The Tribune will print more pictures and give away six more tickets.— (Tribune Photo.) ington is that the scheme in which Postmaster General Farley, as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is currently engaged, is not to collect pledges of delegates for himself, as had been whispered, but to insure the backing of the state party ma chines for the renomination of the President with Mr. Farley as Vice-President. There are signs that all is not going smoothly in the Republican groups in the Senate and House. That they have not agreed upon a policy to which they can all adhere, is evidenced by the large number of Republican members who voted with the Democrats on the Agricultural bill, which is conceded by practically every body to have been a barefaced bid for the farm vote, paid for with public funds. There are indications that the House Republican organization is slipping away from the leader ship of Congressman "Joe" Mar tin and that the boys are begin ning to run wild. And in the Senate the revival of the Vanden berg boom for the Presidential nomination has not only threat ened the leadership of Senator McNary but is causing disturb ance among the friends of Sen ator Taft. Jesse Jones Considered % The prospect now is that Ad ministration pressure will be put on Congress for new spending lending programs, which are not yet fully developed, but which are intended to stimulate business by some scheme of forcing idle capital to go to work. How this is to be done is not clear. Much will depend upon whom the President names to head the new consolidated Federal Lending Agency. The most likely prospect is Jesse Jones, head of the Recon struction Finance Corporation, whose record as administrator of a difficult job is considered by almost everybody to be excellent.
