CvSEK WAJHIHGTCH Washington, November 27. ? The shifting panorama ot the New Deal brings a new picture to the fore every few days. But each succeeding picture Is a little clearer than what preceded It, so that It becomes easier to under stand the AdmlUtratlon's pro gram and to deduce Its policies. The recognition of Soviet Rus sia is easy enough to understand. That government has now contin ued for sixteen years, which is pretty good evidence that II is a stable government. The fail ure of the United States to recog nize it in the past has been based on two points, primarily. One point was that the Soviet govern ment of Russia refused to recog nize the debts of the old Cxarist Government of Russia and its successor, the other and more popular ground of non-recognl tlon was the avowal by the Bol shevik! In their earlier experi ments that they were out to con vert the whole world to Commun ism and Intended to start Red revolutions everywhere. Russia seems to have discov ered that the Capitalistic nations are not going to make any trouble for it so long as It doesn't make trouble for them, and Maxim Lit vinoff, the Russian envoy, seems to have convinced Mr. Roosevelt that his promise, on behalf of his government to lay off Commun ist propaganda in the United States, is one that will be kept. Russian Debt Situation As to the debts, the present government of Russia Is not much more remiss than some of th3 other foreign governments which owe much more money to the United States. American businesj and banking interests who have made some of the private loans ? to old Russia that have not been paid have assured the President that they are willing to hold those claims in suspense, hoping to ?work them out some way through the new business which recogni tion makes possible. There are also guarantees In the agreement with Russia of re-, liglous liberty for American citi zens living or travelling in Rus sia, the right to employ American lawyers if they get into trouble, and freedom to travel anywhere on proper passports. The Btatpsmanlike view of the Russian agreement is that it goes some distance In removing a pos sible seed for a future war. Tho business view that Russia Is a good customer for hundreds of millions a year of American man ufactured goods, and has a lot of valuable raw materials to sell to us. And the Soviet govern ment points with pride that it and its banks and business men have never failed to pay any foreign obligations incurred since they came Into power. The Treasury Shifts Turning to Internal affairs, the shake-up In the Treasury has set a lot of people guessing, and alarmed the conservative "sound money" interests, who had been hoping that Ur. Roosevelt was about to abandon his currency program. Olving Secretary of the Treasury Woodln an Indefinite leave of absence is merely the President's way of stalling off ap plicants for bis Job. Henry Mor genthau, Jr., now acting Secre tary of the Treasury, will doubt less have the title as well as the work If he makes good. He Is personally as close to the Presi dent as anyone in Washington. He Is regarded as neither ultra radical nor ultra-conservative. He is In full sympathy with (he Administration's program of de preciating the dollar in interna tional trade? that is, in terms of gold ? until a point Is reached at which all of the world currencies can be Aablllsed on a new gold basis. What many of the Administra tion's critics overlook .it is point ed out here by the President's friends, Is that all of this so called "inflation" of the ^dollar as a .result of putting the pries of gold up does ont affect the soundness of the dollar here at home. The Government's credit is still good, these authorities say, and even the silver certificate, with only a few cents' worth of silver at present gold prices, be hind it, Is Just as good a dollar as it ever was. But with all the gold out of private hands and in the Government's control, gold figures as money only In settling Inter national balances. The old gold > dollar could not compete with the depreciated monies of the rest of the world, and as a result we were losing our foreign markets for our exploitable surpluses, and getting starvation prices for such as we could sell. Nothing has pleased the Ad ministration's friends so much as the news from Bombay that the Indian cotton spinners are now beginning to buy American cotton again, something made possible only by the depreciation of the dollar in terms of gold. New Recovery Paths Another stlmulvs to the forolgn trade of the United States and a stabiliser of world prices Is ex pected shortly. If those closest to the Treasury are to be believ ed, there Is a definite sllver-pur chase program shaping up, which should hare a great effect Id bringing about a speedy adjust ment of International currenclet and lifting world price*. Lea* attention la being paid to the NRA and the Codes, now that the period of the "Blue Eagle" agreement la shortly to expire and the big industries are beginning to operate under the group or aa soclation code*.

Men are being put to work ail over the country on Jobs of a public or simi-publlc nature, and money is being pour ed out in pay envelopes wlthoui too much bookkeeping and audit ing. There is every confidence here that the stimulus of this "priming the business pump" will be felt, by New Year's, and sc stimulate waning confidence. Early in December hearings are to begin on the Tugwell bill. In tended to put the clamps on the advertising and selling of pro prietary medicines, cosmetics and food products which do not come up to standards which, the manu facturers say, are impossible to maintain, and which most impar tial observers regard as unneces sary and oppressive. There wll| be a big lobby in opposition to the bill, and a big fight is ahead. The opposition Is not alone from manufacturers and advertisers, but also from newspapers, which would be seriously affected. The strongest ground of opposition is the danger of putting control of any business Into the hands of Government bureaucrats, which the Tugwell bill, in its present form, would do.
