Counts on Gains Before ‘Washington, June 19.—Contrary to the dope other experts may have tried to pour into your pink ears, this correspondent is forced to report to you in all honesty that the U. S. supreme court NRA decision was neither @ crushing blow nor a great strategic victory for Mr. Roosevelt. Leaving aside those possibilities which really shouldn’t be predicted, because they may not happen, the essentials of the political situation have changed very little in this last exciting month. These things are still true: 1, Mr. Roosevelt is the only outstanding presidential candidate, 2. The Republicans haven’t found a popular candidate. 3. Chances for an effective third party are more dismal than at any other time in the last year. Most progressive leaders figure on supporting Roose- velt in 1936 against a probable coalition of conservative Republicans and Democrats. Meanwhile, the president continues to veer perceptibly toward the left. eee HOOVER’S ACT FLOPS The key to a political situation is to be found only in the emotions, fears, and aspirations of the voters. Thus, you can get a partial slant by observing the out- bursts of popular enthusiasm which follow the recurrent public remarks of Mr, Hoover. You haven't noticed any? Well, the human eye and the human ear have their limitations. It's the job of party leaders to present Republicanism in a new, attractive package. Since neither major party is more than a name and a politcal machine, the job is @ tough one. Of course that doesn’t mean that it can’t be done. But popular disillusionment with the Roosevelt program, @ prerequisite, is just beginning to tell. eee PROMISES HOLD VOTERS Roosevelt remains the great “promiser.” Handi- capped by the fragrant memory of Mr. Hoover's promises and what happened to them, the Republicans can neither out-promise F. D, R. nor—as yet—persuade the masses of voters that he isn’t trying to keep those lovely prom- ises and to some degree succeeding. Failure of the populace to get excited about the death of NRA was the chief factor behind Roosevelt's failure to let the supreme court issue become a political issue at this time. To what extent it becomes such issue later depends on the supreme court itself and the future course of the recovery curves. : NRA had reached a point where it was neither a Political asset nor a political liability. Fighting for a constitutional amendment or a curb on the court’s power for the sake of a New Deal experiment about which few 8,500,000. On that basis the average expendi- ture per man is less than $1,150 for both wages and materials. Now, however, the discovery is made that of the more than $1,000,000,000 of projects already passed upon, the cost per worker is nearly double what it should be. This has forced a radical change in policy announced by the White House. : The immediate serious result is the delay enforced by the decision to withhold for the time being approval of all works plans while Director Hopkins canvasses the country for Jocal quick work that will take the least amount of materials. That such undertakings are to be given the preference means that much con- struction work of which the labor cost is com- paratively small must be temporarily, if not permanently, sidetracked. That includes hous- ing, upon which the president put great stress in outlining his works program to congress last January. The situation now presented was not alto- gether unforeseen by some and was the basis of the doubt felt by them about the claims made by the president regarding the effective- ness of his solution for the unemployment problem. Mr. Roosevelt, however, was ex- ftremely confident. He declared he had made study from every angle, both of the plan and tthe amount of money it would take. The un- fortunate part of the ensuing predicament is that it inevitably raises the question if his con- clusions were as soundly predicated as they were represented to be. To Read What You Please This year is being celebrated the bicentennial of the freedom of the press in this continent. In 1735 John Peter Zenger was acquitted of libel for having dared friticise Governor Cosby of New York. It is an anni- Wersary whose celebration is not limited to the profession pf journalism, for the freedom then sealed to the Ameri- (an newspapers has been all the people's. Freedom of the press means more than the inherent Fight of an editor to call a governor a scoundrel. Free- dom of expressed opinion is but a part of the heritage, @s we can now more clearly see, since it is enjoyed in but few nations. In Germany, in Italy, in Russia, Spain, Mexico and a host of other nations it is even forbidden to print the facts upon which opinion is formed. Where the freedom of the press has been destroyed all news is ood news and a helpless people knows not how the country fares, g You, as reader of newspapers, may disagree enthu- plastically with your journals’ opinions as stated on the @ditorial page, but the facts from which you arrive at an @pposite conclusion come from the news columns of that Same press. Journalistic freedom is no professional monopoly or trade privilege.

Pressure from farmers, workers, and old folks prob- ably would then be nearly irresistible. It would certainly provide Roosevelt with plenty of support in any stand he took as to the court, meanwhile leaving him no alter- native but to fight the supreme court issue to a finish. Meanwhile, Roosevelt is still betting on continued gradual recovery between now and election time. He doesn’t believe the effects of the NRA collapse will stop it. On the other hand, if things do go wrong, that can be blamed on the supreme court—without whose decision there would be no alibi. eee JUST A MILD THREAT The conservative coalition against Roosevelt, which seems to be the chief dream of President Jouett Shouse of the American Liberty League, isn't likely to be a'seri- ous threat unless there's a business slump. Its present hopular appeal seems very small, though it is likely to be supported by the bulk of business and financial interests. Plenty of officers in the movement, but not many privates.

With Other DITORS North Dakota on the Way Back i (Minneapolis Tribune) ‘The good will tour sponsored by the Greater North Dakota association served a happy purpose. What it did was to show North Dakota in its true light: a great state courageously forging its way out of the discouragements of drouth and depression. The sensation-mongers and alarmists, within recent years, have been giving North Dakota more than its fair share of their morbid atten- tion. They have magnified its troubles many times, and painted its future in the drabbest colors. One might have supposed, after listening to their lugubrious chant- ings, that North Dakota had been permanently prostrated by its misfortunes, and that it was fast becoming the nucleus of a vast desert waste, 4 The whole northwest has suffered from these doleful Prophets, and the warped and distorted picture they have presented of its difficultfes. That North Dakota, in common with the northwest and for that matter with every other state in the union, has had its troubles no one denies.

The drouth is behind, and North Dakota is looking gratefully ahead, surrounded by the lush prom- ises of what may prove the greatest harvest of food and feed in its history. Farm income was up last year, and business has improved. In the cities and towns, there is an undercurrent of hope and confidence, The good will tour was limited to North Dakota, but if it had been extended through the northwest, there would have been the same pleasant impressions of re- vival.

However, one phase as illuminating as any is the earnest effort of the pro-Roosevelt inter- preters to make Herbert Hoover a didate for the 1936 Republican nom- ination. Every time he opens his mouth they burst forth with loud cries of “Hoover's a candidate, Hoover's a candidate.” It is like children shout- ing “The Goblins will get you. The Goblins will get you.” * * * ‘The idea back of this is so trans- parent that practically anyone can grasp it. The basic thought is that the prejudice against Mr. Hoover is still deep enough to offset the growing re- sentment Mr. Roosevelt and Mhis policies, solidify the Democrats and again split the Republicans. In brief, nothing could possibly be as helpful to Mr. Roosevelt as to run against Mr. Hoover in 1936. That is the notion and it is entirely sound. The reasons are clear. It would at once transfer the Republican position from the offensive to the defenseive. As things stand today, they have a very strong case aganist Mr. Roose- selt, plus the asset of a vast number of Democrats, including most of the better-grade leaders of the party, whose bitterness toward the man and his policies is intense. The Hoover nomination would change all this. It. would revive every anti-Hoover argument of the 1932 campaign. He would be loaded down with blame for the depression, with his attitude to- ward prohibition and the tariff, with the bonus army story and the bank failures, Already some of the more eager are muons pank. statistics. Some of this is justified, but some of it is unfair and exaggerated. A lot of it is the result of the three years’ “smear Hoover” Charlie Michelson campaign, directed by Mr. Shouse and financed by Mr. Raskob. None the Jess the fact remains that the Hoover nomination would change the whole political picture, drive the millions of disgusted Democrats back to their party, switch the attitude of important newspapers now thoroughly anti-New Deal, so confuse the people with per- sonalities as to make it impossible to get a clear-cut issue on the Roosevelt a magnificent comeback, may confound the professional | Policies and performances, in all prob- pessimists, but it will surprise no one who is familiar with | bility save him from defeat. ee * The interesting part about all this state so rich in natural resources, and so blessed with a|is that no one knows it better than Mr. Hoover.

They would say he did not mean it, that he was working under cover, that it was just a gesture. It would have no effect in stopping misrepre- sentation of his position. ee # ‘The second reason is that this is not the time for such a statement. He wants to be a factor in the party, to have something to say about the plat- form and something about the ticket, and to help elect it. If he wholly re- moved himself as a possibility now, his party influence would become aca- demic rather than real, The truth is no element of his party wants Mr. Hoover, and ‘is renomination is most unlikely. The Old Guard Conserv- ative leaders of the East are as strongly opposed to him as the Prog- ressive Republicans of the West. The attitude of the Grass Roots confer- ence was typical of the feeling. A number of Republican as well as Democratic editors are still unable to see his name without slapping at him. He has almost no friends among the politicians. He is an unlucky man who has been badly treated, and he isn’t a candidate. The insistence on his candidacy is one evidence of the real uneasiness in the Roosevelt camp.

She couldn't think of Sally Moon now— nor of anything else— “Drive on then,” the man cried exultantly. “We can get a special license in Connecticut.” Long afterward the girl thought some special madness must have possessed her that day. She could not remember quite clearly by what devious route they arrived at the shabby, shingled house in the lit- tle, sleepy village. The frayed clergyman who examined their pa pers did not seem to find the sit- uation at all odd. He accepted them and their demand quite calmly. ‘As if in a dream the girl heard the words, “I, Katharine, take thee, Michael...” A woman came out of the kitchen, wiping her floured hands, ‘Then they were back in the car again, Katburine’s bands on the wheel.

I'l) go back to Innicock and get some money— throw some things into a bag.” She had promised to go with him, for better or for worse. In sickness and in health. Something wild~and free within herself ex- ulted at the thought. This lean, smiling young man was her hus- band. No one could take him from her. He glanced away, avoiding her eyes. “Do you think I'm going to let you go now? We can telephone your stepmother .. .” Suddenly it seemed to Katharine that if Bertine knew it would spoil everything. Bertine, prying and questioning, weeping perhaps, and talking of the shame and disgrace of it. a “No,” she said gently. “But now we must plan what to do, where to Shai] we go west again—or is it—would it be uncomfortable for you?” She asked this haltingly. Now that she was his wife, perhaps Michael Heatheroe would tell her why those grim men with badges were looking for him. “No—not very,” said Michael. It she hadn’t known the affair was so serious, she would have sworn there was amusement lurking in his eyes. “Katharine, can you realize itt” he asked huskily after a moment. “Yesterday I thought I was done for. Today you belong to me.” “I can’t drive when you look at me like that.” she murmured. She stopped the car and there was a myprmuring interlude. “Listen, Katharine,” said Michael after a space. “You needn’t go back to Innicock at all. I have some cash in my pockets.” “Idiot!” she told him. “I haven't any clothes.” “Well, I'll buy you some.” “With what?” she demanded, laughing. He frowned. “You've married a poor man, my darling.” “As if that mattered.” “The first time you ever gave me any tangible proof of your affec- tion,” said the man softly. She laughed gayly. “I like that.

Only . . .” “Only what?” “She's always been the one be fore to break the darn things,” Katharine confessed, ingenuously. “Michael, this is a terrible thing we've done to her...” “Lord, it is rotten,” the man con- fessed ruefully. There was Bertine to be told and Katharine’s father and Sally Moon ...

She was in despair. “Bat why else did I come with you—marry you—except to save you?” “I thought,” he told her quietly, “it was partly because you loved me.” Then she was in his arms again, half-weeping, wholly absorbed in the oft-told, ever-new story. But they were getting nowhere in the argument. She telephoned Bertine, with some garbled, hazy account of a forgotten appointment and hung up the receiver with shaking fin- gers. Michae) waited for her in the foyer of the little hotel. “We can’t lunch here,” he said. “But the man says there’ room down the street . She laughed on a note of excite. ment. “Let's dash there then. I’m starving.” Over an omelet and rolls and tea their eyes and hands met. “Our wedding luncheon,” Katharine said. How strange fate was! Only ¢his morning she had planned never to see Michae) Heatheroe again. “Now, my darling, you must really let me go,” she pleaded when he had paid the check and they had wandered out again into the hot, bright sunshine of mid-after- noon. Two children with bursting brown paper bags came out of a grocery store to regard the pair with curious, interested eyes. Michael laughed, tucking her hand in his. “I'm coming back ty Innicock with you,” he said. “Oh, you can’t, really.” There was terror in her tone. “Ob, yes, I can,” he said gayly. “I haven't done a thing to be ashamed of.” She whirled on him. “You mean —you mean you tricked me into
