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. he Training Ship For Young Mariners Visits Southport (Continued From Page 1) ij" the end of the two day stay, Captain Bosshardt said: "We , are darn sorry to have to leave j North Carolina.

With her salmon-colored topsides set off by a broad black whale on either side, her carved figure-head, her oblong | stern and quarter ports and her j two square yards, she made the j denizens of the water front wonder whether they had been trans- j ported back a hundred years and ; were watching some American privateer slipping out to sea to harry enemy commerce in the war of 1812.
