TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Rtockbri(kro) WEATHER . . what to do The lowest Icmperatuies in y?*ars have been freezingus up in the Fas'. T.n my home, town the thermometer crept . down to 18 below and cuddled up in the bulb. Steam-heated city folks think such cold is terrible. The; have' forgotten how to wear wool. There is nothing unhealthy in re gions where it prevails. Its principal drawback is that it makes the auto mobile useless. The old rcJiablc horse and Vw span of oxen come into their own in New England winters. An occasional frostbite doesn't worry rural folk who have "holed up" for the Winter, with plenty of salt pork and <yder in the cellar and1 forty cords of bireh and oak in the wood shed. If they can't get o?t to the movies, and the R.F.D. carrier is de layed by snow-drifts, they can at least gossip with the neighbors over the telephone. That's the way our ancestor* lived "for -throe hundred years in America, and we are ju*t as resistant as they were, if wo only thought po. PLANS ... for economy I hoar a lot of talk about a "planned economy" for tho United States. I have observed the planned | economv of Italy at first hand. 1 I * V | havrt mi<I abort the planned won- ! oiny of Russia and Mr. Ilitli-r's el - j I fort to introduce something' of t Ik* | sort in Germany. The general id*a,j as applied to I he United States.] leaves me eold. Every imaginative man has at limes thought of or been .impressed by the idea that this would be a per feet world if everybody would coop erato for the common good. So it would be, but try and make 'em ! The only way any sort of planned econ omy lean be imposed- on any people is by force, as the examples I hav?? mentioned indicate. As lonsr as crreat groups of people disft?T?"? with the plan, or have other plans of their own, there isn't any way to put any national plan into effect except by force. I haven't heard anyone suggest that, and I am sure that Americans would never tolerate methods which have worked in other countries. We'll continue to "nwiddle through" as individualists. PRESIDENT ... the office ,rBlack Sam" Fraunces, who was the steward of the President's house hold when George Washington lived in Cherry Street, New York, befoiv the national capital was moved to the District of Columbia, paid no at tention to the General's remon- ' t strances against the luxury of th^ Presidential table. "He may discharge me, he may kill me if he will, but while he is President of the United! States, and I have the honor to be his steward, I his establishment shall be supplied with the best of everything the whole country can afford^" said Sam. I have frequently said, bv won! of mouth and m print, that we in America are losing respect for the office of President. We do not pay the President a big enojugh salary, Prance pays hers three times as much and. demands far less of him. I think it is one of the weaknesses of n democracy that we think of the man, rather than the office he holds. As a man no one is entitled to more re spect than another of equal charac ter; but I would like to see the Pres ident, as such, held in such high re spect that, by reflection, th? Govern- j inent of which he is the J head is looked up fo, rather thaa held in I oonteenot. Roosevelt Continues To Get Support Of Congress ' Washington, Ian. 11. (Special) ? A good many members of Congrcan, both Houses, who came back to Waab ington all steamcu up to say ou* loud what they thought about the New Deal, have be< 11 <lisapj>ointed to discover that they can got no sup port from their colleagues for any open attack upon President Roose velt and his policies. Being ]>oliticianv they don't want to put themselves in an unpopular position, so they are koeping their feelings bottled up for the time being. Before long some of these safety-valves will begin to pop. and many things will be said on the floor of both Houses which will make '"hot" headlines; but the fact will still remain as it is now, that the President is running the Govern meiil of thes:1 more or less United States, and Congress is still taking orders from him. Summing up the news which re turning Congressmen and Senators havj' broSight back from their states and districts, it conies down to this: There is a general sense of bettei times. Recovery is definitely on th< way almost < verywhere. There is t great deal of popular resentment es peciallv among business men and' in dustrialists, at what are termed th-' dictatorial methods of Washington, but there is a pretty general agr.'e ment that the objectives of the Ad ministration are for the public wel fare. What has stirred up most of the objectors is not the purposes of the methods. Therefore, since these representa tives of the people have got back to Washington, (he soft pedal has been applied to Government pronotmce ments. It is being made increasingly clear that there is im> real intention on the part of Government to take over or retain control of business and industry, to plunge the country into Soeialism. There has been a good deal of compulsion, to compel business groups to get together and agree to eooperate, and there will be a good deal more compulsion exercised be fore all the groups which are con cerned with vital social services have been whipped into line. But rather rapidly the Government is taking its hands off one trade association aftev another, as its organization i? per fected, leaving it to the men in the industry to maintain the cooperativt machinery. Government will keep a v eye out to see that the old system of unfair competition does not come back, but within the limits of fail play, competition will not bo hamper ed, but encouraged. The President has made it clear to those close to him that he is not trying to destroy the Capitalistic system but rather to insure that it shall continue to work properly. Ann an essential part of the Capitalistic system is profits. Without profits th.*re fan be no important tax income for the Government. And taxes are all-important. The realization tliat Mr. Roosevelt, although he listens patiently to their theories, is not going to play ball with the radicals who would turn the whole system upside down Avithout waiting for any overwhelming demand from the public, has been a great disap }>ointment to m<*;t of the ultra-nidi cals Avbo have had the Presidential ear. No! th ? least disappointed man is Professor Tngwell, Assistant Se< retary of Agriculture, who is out ? spokenlv Socialistic, and who h:i ? staked his career upon the effort to put a curb on business enterprise by his so-called "Tugmell Bill," which would cripple the food and medicine industries and make it almost im possible for them to advertise at all. No proposal which has emanated from Administration circles has met with such wide-spread opposition as this. This opposition is the best evi dence that the nation as a whole is very far from being ready to go So cialistic. T ugwell's plan would put two of Xhe largest industries in tha world under the complete autocratic control of bureaucrats. But Mr. TugwelPs plan is not go ing through . The President has de clined to swallow it whole, his con fidants say. There will be some re vision of the present Food and Dru? Act, but the result will not be op pressive. At least, that is the outlook now. And the gossip in quarters where information is usually accurate is that Tngwell is on his way out. "Hie President is a good politician; tfc? best politician, probably, who ewt jMfittl tfce Xfrite Horn
