Washington, May 25 —Al
though the end of the Congres
sional session is still weeks and
perhaps months ahead, official
Washington is beginning to
think about Summer vacations.
So far this Spring Washington's
climate has been quite bearable,
but the stifling Summer season
is close at hand. In Summer no
body in Washington ever does
anything which can be avoided.
Every year which passes em-

phasizes the mistake which was
made by the Pounding Fathers
In locating the Nation's capital in
this miasmic swamp on the banks
of the Potomac. It was one of the
conditions imposed upon the new
ly-formed Republic in 1787 by the
delegates to the Constitutional
Convention held in Philadelphia
just 150 years ago.
Virginia. Maryland, the Caro
linas and Georgia feared domi
nation by the northern states if
they assented to the capital re
maining in Philadelphia, where
the Continental Congress had its
headquarters.
Indeed, although Philadelphia
was the largest city in America at
that time, the feeling against it
was so strong that for the first
two years of .our national exist
ence New York was the seat of
government, which moved back to
Philadelphia only after the com
promise of a completely new city
on lands donated by Virginia and
Maryland, had been arrived at.
Location Unfortunate
Nobody could foresee then what
a gigantic institution the Govern
ment of the United States was
going to become. And nobody
realized the enervating quality of
the climate, in this particular spot.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
That is not a matter of latitude,
for there are hundreds of cities
much farther South in which it
is possible to live and work in
comfort the yew around. Most
of these, however, are at high al
titudes or situated near enough
to salt water to get the refresh
ing effect of the sea breezes.
In Washington midsummers
there is no escape from the
steaming humidity, unless one is
fortunate enough to have the air
conditioned halls of Congress
and some of the new executive
buildings in which to seek refuge.
And a definite result of the cli
mate is to slow down the pace at
which Government employees do
their work.
Every observer who has been
here for any length of time is ac
customed to the enthusiasm of
new administrators who come in
with each successive administra
tion and • voice their determina
tion to speed things up. In a few
months these enthusiasts have
succumbed to the Washington
climate, and few of them ever
keep up the pace they set for
themselves.
Vacations Necessary
That is why vacations are such
an important element in the
scheme of things in Washington.
It is not possible to move the
capital to a more invigorating
climate, but it is possible for ev
eryone whose official duties per
mit it to get away for long per
iods and come back refreshed.
Even the lowliest clerk in a Gov
ernment office gets a 30-day va
cation on full pay every year. It
would be cruel not to grant them
that privilege. And the higher
one's Government job, the longer
and more frequent the vaca
tions.
President Roosevelt has set an
all-time record for vacations. He
has not done quite so much trav
eling as President Taft did, but
he has spent more time away
from Washington than any pre
vious President ever did. Mr.
Taft traveled 115,000 miles prac
tically all of it in the United

States, during his four-year term.
Mr. Roosevelt so far has trav
eled only 105,000 miles since his
first inauguration in 1933. His
itinerary has included'every state
in the Union except New Mexico
and Arizona, most of our island
possessions and many of the
British colonies. He has visited
five foreign nations as President,
though he has not gone to Eu
rope. Only one President ever
went to Europe while in office.
That was President Wilson, who
made two trips across the Atlan
tic in attending the Peace Con
ference. • ' /
New Legislation Delayed
With the Presidential example
before them, the impatience of
members of Congress and high
Administration officials over the
slow progress of events- here is
quite understandable. They, too,
want to get away and relax. That
is why it becomes increasingly
unlikely that any but absolutely
essential legislation will be passed
at this session. It is the general
feeling that, no matter what he
may propose, the President can
not hold Congress here very long
after the Supreme Court issue has
been laid to rest.
The eagerness of legislators to
get away from Washington is not
wholly the desire to escape the
summer climate. A high propor
tion of them want to find out at
first hand from the people and
politicians of their states and dis
tricts just what the voters think
now about the policies and pro
posals of the Administration.
Probably the most important po
litical question among Democrats,
particularly those from the South
is: "How far will the voters fol
low us if we come out openly in
oposition to the President?" That
such a move is one which many
of them would like to make is un
deniable.
Some administration officials
are aware that the South does not
like many parts of the New Deal
program as developed thus far.
There is a feeling, reflected in the
cloak rooms of Congress though
not voiced on the floor, that too
much emphasis is being placed
upon the interests of organized
labor, which is a concern of the
north rather than of the south.
Also the interest shown by some
of the Administration's left-wing
advisers in the Negro problem is
giving Southern statesmen con
siderable concern. That is some
thing in which the South resents
any Federal meddling. Is is the
South's problem, and the South
insists upon handling it in its
own way.
