Washington, D. C., March 80.?
President Roosevelt's decision to
fr?id Congress in session until it has
enacted the major "policy" measures
which the new Administration de
aries, came as a surprise, but is in
line with the President's determina
tion to move with the utmost possible
speed in his program of reviving pros
perity..
The main reason for his cancella
tion of the plan for a recess of sev
* eral weeks was the insistence of the
farm leaders that if anything is to 1>e
accomplished in the way of farm re
lief it must be done now, before this
sermon's crops are in the ground. Con
gress, therefore, is struggling with
the problem of how to reduce crop
acreage and pay the farmers for keep
ing land out of cultivation, without
patting a new load on the taxpayers
or too heavy a burden upon the con
sumers of farm products.
The Administration's bill, submit
ted to Congress by the President
with the statement that it is "a new
and untrod path" which may not pro
duce the hoped-for results, would give
the Secretary of Agriculture extreme
ly broad power to regulate produc
tion and distribution of farm products,
in the effort to give agricultural
products the same purchasing power
with respect to the commodities which
. the farmer buys as was the case in
the five years before the war. TEe
"basic agricultural commodities" to
which the new plan may be applied
are wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, sheep,
rice, tobacco and dairy products.
Power With Secretary
The Secretary of Agriculture is au
thorized under this bill to make agree
ments with farmers to pay them rent
for land kept out of production or to
pay in cash benefits for reducing pro
duction in other ways, and to obtain
funds, for this purpose by assessing a
tax upon processors of farm prod
ucts, the amount of the cash benefits
and the- amount of the tax being left
in every case to the Secretary to de
termine
In other words, Congress is asked
to delegate as broad powers to the
Administration in the matter of farm
relief as it has given the President in
the matter of reducing Government
expenses and in reorganizing the
banking system of the nation.
It is not exaggerating to say that
Congress is afraid of this proposal. It
is entirely different from anything
which has heretofore been discussed
under the head of farm relief. Mem
bers dont know how the cboys back
home" like it, and are afraid of the
big politically-organized farm groups,
who do not seem to have any finger
in this particular pie. Also, they are |
hearing from millers, packers, tobacco
manufacturers, cotton spinners, cream- ,
eries and cheese-makers and other j
"processors" who don't like the idea
of having to pay this tax.
There seems likely, as this is writ- ,
ten, to be more open opposition to ,
President Roosevelt in the debates on
this relief measure than has been the (
case with any of his other proposals (
so far. But the wise political observ- "
ers here are willing to bet that the j
bill, not much changed in principle, j
will be passed.
The Patronage Whip - j
President Roosevelt is no amateur i
in politics, as anyone knows who has <
followed his career from the time \
when he was making trouble in the {
..?New York State Senate long before 1
the war. He knows how the game is t
played as well as anyone who ever 1
sat in the White House, better than i
most of "his recent predecessors. And ^
the President knows that the time to j i
get what he wants out of Congress is t
now, before the jobs have- been dis- j
tributed. Not even * start has been
made toward the distribution of pa- j 1
. tronage, and Senators and Represen-'t
tatives who want to get some of 1
those 150,000 Federal appointments, 1
for their constituents are modi more I \
willing to play ball with the Presi-il

jobs have been passed out. For they
nut get the jobs for the boys back
lome or stand a ehaice of losing out
next election. That is elementary
politics, and President Roosevelt
cnows it
There are still other major meas
ures which the President wants to get
chrough Congress and into his own
lands before the boys on Capitol Hill
jo home. One of the most important
of these is a program for enforced
consolidation of railroad systems.
Only the immediate exigency of farm
-elief prevented the President from
^ending this to Congress a couple of
.veeks ago.
Forign Affairs Soon
Foreign affairs are beginning to
jet closer attention from the new
Administration, now that the more
pressing dometic problems seem on
iheir way to solution. The appoint-!
nent of Norman H. Davis as a gen- j
?ral European representative of the!
Government, with the rank of Am-I
bassador, is hailed as indicating Mr. I
Roosevelt's appreciation of the good!
relations which Mr. Davis has estab-j
ished in Europe in the past two years I
is the American delegate to the dis- J
irmament conference, the world eco-j
aomic conference and other interna- j
:fanal gatherings.
There is a good deal more to the in- j
:ernational situation than is apparent!
m the surface. The settlement .of the]
var debts owing to the United States [
s only one item, likely now to bet
arought to a head very soon. Disarm-1
unent is regarded here as of gravel
mportance, for unless some agree-!
nent is reached soon there is decided!
ianger of a new European war, Which I
vould not do the United'States any!
rood. Germany and France seem j
?eady to leap again at each other's!
hroats; Italy probably would attack I
France from the rear in that case,!
uid Poland is itdiing to fight it out
vith Germany. Another foreign mat-1
er of importance is the question of I
he recognition of the Russian Soviet!
government.
There is plenty of work ahead for!
^resident Roosevelt, but he i* facing!

righ spirits. Hejs riding the top!

does not call particular attention to
itself except for its colorful leaves
and berries in the autumn. But in
March or early April a startling
change takes place; those dar-hued
guardians of the baby flowers are
transformed to white and pink, at
tracting attention to their own beauty ?'
and to the sweetnas of the green and J
yellow flowerets in their midst.
If you look carefully just at the ^
time when those satin capes are being .
folded back, you will discover the J
secret of the notches which add so j

Flowering dogwood was never in- i
tended to be picked and carried away.

been taken from the tree, their fresh ^
whiteness becomes brown and with"- .

years before there will no longer be ^
any dogwood to delight folks In
