A 1SESI ME OF GOVERNMENTAL.
HAPPENINGS IN THE
NATIONAL. CAPITAI.
Washington, March 8.?With one
exception the administration's program
ot national defense 13 moving
thiougn congress with utmost as
much speed and ease as the President's
new deal measures moved four
or five years ago.
The house of representatives turned
down the proposal to establish a
naval base on the island of Guam in
mid-Pacific, but otherwise there has
been such complete bi-partisan support
of the army and navy program
as to indicate that senators ami representatives
believe that the folks
back home are worried about the
condition of workl affairs and don't
want tile United States to be caught
unprepared as wc were when mat
iters came to the climax of war in
1917.
At the same time, congress is
trying to be careful about making
warlike gestures in the direction of
any particular nation, though there
have been several speeches by irresponsible
members of both houses
which, if taken seriously, might easily
stir up bad feeling abroad.
Fear of giving too nruch offense to
Japan is the reason behind the refusal
to make naval improvements in
Guam. That little island was allotted
to the United States by the
Treaty of Versailles, at the same
time that Japan was given several
smaller islands not too far away.
Bo til nations are forbidden by the
terms of the treaty to fortify their
island possessions. Whether dredging
out the harbor of Guam to accommodate
a few battleships, or
building a drydock or a repair 3liop .
for ships, making the island a naval
base, would violate the treaty, nobody
on Capitol Hill is quite sure, I
but the point on which the Guam
improvement plan was drafted was
that it could and probob'y would he t
interpreted by Japan as a threaten- ,
ing gesture. j

\
ministratich now appears to be to re- '
stcre the ccnXMeKco of business that J
there win be no more experiments by
the government of x kind to frigUter
investors. Numerous signs point to
a real desire to encourage business in 1
the hope that the wheels of industry
can l>e started revolving at sonic- 1
thing like their former -speed. <
Hie ending of the controversy be- J
tween the TVA and. the Commonwealth
and Southern electric power i
interests is one of these signs TVA 1
finally bought out Commonwealth
for eighty million dollars, rcgaivled ^
as a fail* price by ail concerned, and
the President announced that there
would be no more government competition
with private power com- 1
panics. The hope is that this as- .
surance will open the pockets of in- ,
vestors who would like to put several ^
billions into utility improvements.
The question of taxes on corporate
earnings and capital gains is still
holding investors back, however. The :
President, gave notice that the admlnstration
would propose no new
taxes, and Secretary Morgenthau, for
the treasury, reiterated that assurance.
Tax Matters Studied
It remains to be seen, however,
how far the administration will cooperate
in eliminating some of the
lax measures now on the statute
books, which business interests repaid
as handicapping investment.
The committees of both senate and
house in charge of tax matters are
giving a great deal of study to the
proposals for the elimination of the
tax on corporate surprises entirely,
and the reduction of the capital gains
tax law in such 3 way that if an investor
takes a heavy risk and earns
a profit proportionate to the risk, he
will be permitted to keep a fair
share of his profit.
The man of the hour in Washington
is Harry Hopkins, the new secretary
01" commerce, former head of
WPA. Mr. Hopkins is making- a
good impression upon business men
who have to do business with his department,
and is strengthening the
business advisory board.
Presidential Possibility
In informed political circles here,
the voice of Harry Hopkins is being
cgarded as the voice of President
Ftooscvelt. The belief is growing
?tcadily that Mr. Hopkins is the
rTesident's personal selection as his
successor in the White House, and
hat he was put in the department of
tommorce because in that, position nc
<>iiid taik to business men and build
r.ii, ielt up as a tigure 10 be *s"v
x>nsid< ro.s t& in presidential calibre. }
"Uniu his latest appointment ait.*
fopkins had never had business cx>erience
or many contacts with busiicss.
His whole career has been that
if a social worker. Personally, Mr.
iopkins impresses almost everybody
vho comes in contact with hini as a
nan of sincerity and decided personal
harm.
How far he will be able to add to
hat impression the belief that he has
1 sound, broad view of economic
>roblems especially as Uioy affect
msincss remains to be seen.
