MR. HOOVER IN CONTROL The decision of. California send an uninstructed delegation to the Cleveland convention reveals anew that Mr. Hoover is still head of the Republican party and as such is going to have considerable to say about who is nominated at Cl land. Supporters of Gov. Landon of Kansas counting on California. It is Hoover's home state and had Mr. Landon been successfyl in capturing the § delegation his chances at the convention would have ‘been given a very definite boost. As it turns out the i Kansas Governor remains a possibility but perhaps ®not as strong a possibility for the nomination as his g;supporlers heretofore have trumpeted. The uninstructed delegation was a clean cut vic- tory for Mr. Hoover and as such it was a victory for the Old Guard which most observers concede will dominate and control the Cleveland convention. The men who will have the reins at the June G.O.P. con- clave in the Ohio city are Mr. Hoover's men. They include Charles D. Hilles of New York, Earle S. Kins- ley of Vermont, Ralph E. Williams of Oregon, J. Henry Roraback of Connecticut and Walter S. Hal- lanan of West Virginia. Already these leaders have chosen the keynoter, Senator Steiwer of Oregon, and the permanent chairman, Bertrand H. Snell of New York. All they need to stage a convention right now is for the sage of Palo Alto to arrive in town and nod his approval. And it is very possible that he will nod quite vigorously now that he has Mr. Landon a thing or two in California. As Hoover control stock goes up at Cleveland the names of two so-called dark hors more prominent in the Republican picture—Keynoter Steiwer and the Senator from Michiga:, Mr. Vanden- burg. The later, who has been considered in the east a constant threat to Landon’s ambition, is slowly emerging as a serious contender but Mr. Steiwer can- not be overlooked. The Oregon Senator is more of a liberal than Vandenberg and in fact he has gone so far for a Republican as to support some New Deal Jegislation. While this must be very distastetul to ‘Mr. Hoover, the former President is politically wise enough to see the possibilities of Steiwer as a man who saw the need for temporary legislationsto deal with emergemcies but is now opposed to the methods used in carrying those policies into law. No, they will not hold a convention in Cleveland without Mr. Hoover and it begins to look more and more likely that none need aspire to head the ticket for President without the former President’s stamp of approval. Mr. Landon, under the tutelage of Mr. ‘Hearst, can put on his Kansas “hick” act with the hope of convincing a few voters that he is a son of the soil and Senator Borah can roar up and down tie land about international affairs but it is Mr. Hoover and his Old Guard henchmen who will pick the nominee at Cleveland.

In a recent ad- | dress before the American Academy of Political Sci- Mr The government that seeks budget by deflationary policies defeat ject, burns the candle at both ends, its expenditures and reduces its income. Exploding the current creed of Gov. Alf M. Lan- don, Senators Arthur Vandenberg and L. J. Dickin- son, Col. Frank Knox and Mr. Hoo%er that balancing the budget is a cure-all and end-all of the depression, the New York banker asserted If there be any one inclined to over simplify the problem to find a happy solu- tion by simply saying ‘balance the budget,’ let him bear in mind this paradox—a Gov- ernment cannot balance its budget by edict t cannot extract blood from a stone nor ence, Leffingwell said to balance its its ob- increases ga revenues by deflating the national economy | Continuing his clear and forceful exposition of the economic philosophy upon which the Roosevelt New Deal is founded, the famous New York banker said As long as unemployment here at home continues to be great, and Government aid on a vast scale continues to be necessary, | there ought not to be any reversion to defla- ! tionary policies. The greatest paradox of Government finance is that fiscal and mone- tary policies must be such as to increase and | not reduce the income of the people if the budget is to be balanced. Deflationary fiscal and monewary policies reduce incomes and increase the burdens thrown upon the State for relief and public welfare. Low rates of interest must be maintained by Treasury policy and Federal Reserve policy if there is to be recovery and a balanced bud- get. Any premature effort to make money dear, in apprehension of an inflation which does not exist, will defeat its own purpose by l retarding recovery, increasing unemployment, reducing income and increasing the need for Government relief. A private business man may, if un- restrained, by motives of kindliness and good will and social obligation, hire and fire as he pleases, raise prices and reduce expens curtail his business or wind it up if it runs at a loss. Government cannot do that. Government is the residuary legatee of all the successes and failures of all of us. Govern- ment must keep itself going and keep its peo- ple going too. Government can balance its budget only by enriching its people, not by impoverishing them. Government must intervene :o reiieve the suffering of the people. It is intolerable in the modern world, with its elaborate mechan- ism of trade and finance, its highly indus- trialized and mechanized economy, that our people should be left to starve or to endure privation almost worse than starvation. Demolishing “the gold standard fetish and the half truths of Old Guard orators as to the mounting public debt having endangered the public credit, the Morgan partner asserted with increasing forcefulness: It is intolerable that the monetary mech- anism, evolved for the sole purpose of achiev- ing stability and human welfare, should be permitted ever again to run amuck as it did from 1929 to 1933. It is an archaic supersti- tion that money is stable if its value remains fixed in gold only, while prices collapse more or less generally to the point of bankruptey, as they did in that tragic period. Let us not be unmindful of the depth of the economic despair from which in three vears we have emerged, nor of the vital neces- sity of Government action along those lines, however critical we may be of the extent and manner in which public expenditures have been made, or of this and that phase of monetary policy. Comparing the increase in the national debt from 16 and one-half billion dollars in 1930 to 30 and a half billions “during the five years of depression, Leffingwell reminded his audience that the debt “rose more than 25 billions in little less than two war years,” and concluded: The credit of the United States and the resources of the American peopie are so great that the financial risks involved seem even now, after five years of mounting public debt, quite remote.
