For a large part of the !mischief and folly of the world comes from rushing in, taking a position, and then not Kknowing |how to retreat. There is something about making a speech or writing |an article which perverts the hu- man mind. When the utterance is | published the Rubfcon has been crossed and the bridges have been burned. It seems to end the in- quiry, and after that we almost cease to be interested in the truth, being so preoccupied to prove that we already possess it. What be- |tween the demand of the audience |for an infallible preceptor, the van- |ity of the speaker, and the terror- gi.-sm of those who lie in ambush and I stick to it. In private inter- course any one who sticks to his story regardless is set down by his friends as slightly batty. In pub- lic life he passes for a very strong fellow. The Roosevelt Administration has, it seems to me, been singularly skillful in not making itself the Iprisoner of its own pronounce- ments. Here and there it has stumbled as, for example, in the |promise that the N. R. A. would put I forget how may million men to work by Labor Day, in the threat of a boycott which the good sense of the contry so sensibly rejected, in the grimaces at Henry Ford, in the pledge to the farmers not merely to help them but to give them the exact quota of pros- perity which they had just before the war. These have been slips. They have been exceptions to the rule. For in the main the Presi- /dent has made it his practice not to paint pictures and make prom- /ises, but to contrive expedients and |decide practical issues. In this habit of his' mind he has shown himself to be an amaz- ingly successful leader in a period of crisis. He has known better than to imagine that a great na- tion of free men could be indoc- trined with any consistent set of principles. So, like the wisest of nd well being of us all, the ready to quote what he said last|the English speaking statesmen, he | year against what he may believe |has preferred to find his political “m‘yegr_ the impulse is almost ir- and eccnomic principles in the ne- ll resistible, once a man has published cessities of each particular : situa- his opinion, to say: That's my story | tion, limiting his output of high- | not. ;‘cupital market is to be run, as in |the past by international bankers ‘soundin'z generalizations to the indisputable truths of honor, court- |esy, and ordinary morals.

At home !there is complaint that he has not neunced a monetary policy, that {he does not define the position of labor under the codes, that he does |not make it known whether the N. [R. A. is an emergency measure or a new industrial order, that he does make it clear whether the or, as it is at this moment, by the Federal Government, that he does not indicate whether he looks for- ward to a general policy of econ- omic nationalism or backward to a revival of relatively free trade. There are real issues at the heart of all these questions, and they will have to be decided. But as 1 see it, there is, in additlon to his native caution, a controiling reason why Mr. Roosevelt has felt it nec- essary to lel the, issues come to him rather than to reach out for them and render his verdicts. He has come into power with a two-fold mandate from the people: to raise the country out of the de- pression and to inaugurate a New Deal. He is commanded to bring back better times, and he is also commanded to bring in a different order of things, So he must have Recovery and he must have Recon- struction, and, unless he is arouse disappointment and revolt, he must set them both going simul- taneously. Now that complicates matters. For at innumerable vital points the pursuit of one of these objectives interferes with the achievment of the other. If he could devote himself in singlemind- ed fashion to Recovery, stimulating enterprise, profits and confidence according to the orthodox canons of capitalism, there is little doubt that employment would revive fast- er and business begin to hum soon- er. But he cannot be single-mind- ed. While he is trying to stimulate recovery he must also respond to the conviction of the mass of the people that the old order of things up to 1929 needs drastic renova- tion. He must give evidence that he is installing new controls and collective standards. This discour- ages enterprise and so retards Re- covery. Yet he cannot say to his constituency as revolutionary lead- ers in Russia, Italy or Germany say to their people: endure patient- ly the sacrifices of the present for the sake of the glorious future. Mr. Roosevelt is not a revolutionary leader. He must produce the pros- perity of the old order while he builds a new one. Thus he must shape his course with one eye on the short objective of Recovery and | the other on the long objective of Reconstruction. u s . That this produces a kind of chronic dilemma has been amply | illustrated since the adjournment of Congress. Thus, if the only thing the President needed to do was to encourage an old-fashioned busi- ness revival, it would have been sheer folly to raise the question of union recognition as acutely as the N. R. A. has raised it, or to depress an already frightened capi- tal market with the threats of the Securities Act, or to disrupt the paralyzed machinery of capital in- vestment by the Glass-Steagall Bill, or with the N. R. A. to raise the costs of production in advance of profits and an increased volume of uncertainty of a threoretical specu= lation on the possibility of some to]? demand, or to create the profound | vholly new kind of currency, or o copen up vistas of drastic taxa- ion on profits and of stringent rol of public utilities. Obviously hese things retard recovery. But 10 less obviously they, or things ike them, have had to be under- aken if the pledges of a New Deal ere sincere. For the New Deal kably implied a different ution of income and financial wwer than that which prevailed sefore the crash, a much stricter ng of private enterprise, and 1 far-reaching attempt to reduce the competitive and enhance the to-operative motives in American ife. | almost every juncture, there- ore, decisions have had to be tak- n whether to advance the New Jeal at the risk of slowing up >nterprise for recovery, or whether o promote enterprise and slow up he installition of the New Deal. jometimes the Administration has emed to be quite clear in its ojects it was working on.

The fact is that the President has to achieve what both zroups desire, he has to give eoch its head and then rein it in, and somehow drive them both abreast. This attempt to make the best of soth worlds is not the easy way to success, and only a daring man would take it. But for Mr. Roose- velt there was no other way open, siven the situation as he found .t and the expectations of the peo- ble who raised him to power.
