Within the Administration itself there is a notable loss which is reflected in leadership that is hesitant and confused. Those who like to have their politics dished up. to them in personal, partisan, and parochial form will no doubt continue to believe 1hc explanation can be found in Mr. Eoosevell's temperament, in too much Farley or in too much Tug- of America, as he is of Louisiana. It is not eve.n that he will be President.

The worst or the best he can do in that line may be to prevent Roosevelt from being President, tor a second term. There are Republicans and consrvatives who are welcoming" fh at prospect. They are willing to accept victory, even at the hands of Huey. a IF, THEN. Huey can not be President, and may be the unfitting means of electing a better man-why care? Just because Huey, while he can iete-btrfW--wp his unsound self, may undermine the soundness of Ameri well, or in this or that experiment, blunder, or folly.

But an impartial view of the history of recovery, such as it Is, and of Jhc state of the depression throughout the capitalist world does not support, I believe, such a simple view. For it is a fact that the course of recovery since the low point of June, 1933, has been marked by series of hopeful advances and discouraging relapses. It Is a fact that the present retreat Is not confined the United States and is virtually world wide. ADVANCE INVARIABLY FOLLOWED BY RECESSIONS Since, June, 1932, we have had the advance of July and August of that year, the Autumn and Winter relapse, the boom in the Spring of 1933 and the relapse of the following Autumn, the recovery of the Winter of 1934 and the relapse in the Summer, the year end recovery Sviigi.iiiiii can democracy. He may; with others of his sort, so corrupt the thinking and the character of the people as to weaken our only assurance that the things which have happened elsewhere can not happen here.

"QUCH things can never lJ America," we says, contemplating the wreck of liberty and truth, all over the world. But a few years ago we would have said that they could not happen anywhere else, either. Now they have happened, nearly everywhere. The conditions and the movements which made them happen 1herc are row active here. Our confidence that they can not succeed here rests wholly in our confidence in the American people.

They, we think, would never SO THEY would not, if they retain the characteristics which so far have made America i a jjnd the present relapse. That these In view of the quantity of" these mash notes, it occurred to Congressman Compton I. White, of Idaho, that the present office staff of two. allowed to each member at a cost of $5000 a year, should be increased by one, at a further cost of $1000. MAJORITY VIEWS IT AS WORTHY LEGISLATION Statesmen are, for the most part, very humane, and especially so to their sisters and their cousins and their aunts who might otherwise be dependent on them for support back home.

To the honor of the Lower Houte of the sacred heritage-it must be said that a majority of them were heartily in favor of this, worthy legislation. At this point, however, there arose in the the sinister figure of Congressman Ford, of Mississippi, who can only be presumed to be a man without charity or any worthy kin-people of his own. Congressman Ford offered an amendment providing that if this additional allowance were granted, then it should be unlawful for any member to retain' on his clerical payroll any" member ofjiis family and should remove any relative so employed at this time. ij TRADE AND BARTER PLAN GIVEN CONSIDERATION There was great consternation at this brutal proposal, and the more statesmen, thinking of their" l(A-ed ones and of the cost of supporting them out of their meager salary of $10,000 a year, hastily considered subterfuges. The Idea occurred thai It mljht be feasible, to trade relatives from one member to another, Congressman Joe Dokes assuming the hire of Congressman Mike Swift's wife and daughter and Congressman Swift taking over the Indigent sister and nephew of the Hon.

Dokes. The loved ones in question might then be continued at their duties, if any, in return for their $5000 per year allowance, per office, though transferred to the payroll of a non-relative. It would then be possible to hire and trade, on the, basis of an uncle for a grandfather or a son for daughter-in-law, one more clerk, each, at $1000 a year It looked for a moment as though here might be a practical beginning of Mahatma Upton Sinclair's barter plan in the very heart or at any rate, In the very app'tftite, of the National Government.
