All Senate Democrats and most Republicans and Progressives like, respect and admire Mr. Robinson. The Senate is a club. To reject the majority leader forthwith, without some recognition which Mr. Robin- son would find compensating, would subject the President to deeper resentment. He would be called an ingrate. He would be accused of turning down a man who has led the fight for all the New Deal measures because he suspects that man of innate Democratic traditionalism. He would be even more widely accused of intending to have a Supreme Court made up of what, in ¢ respects unjustly, is called “the Frank- type. This would hurt the President and make much more difficult his relations with Con- gress. It would increase the chances of a party split that would endure through 1940. It would inspire some of the President’s young radical advisers to urge a third-term effort upon him, which might prove the major blun- der of his life. Flatly to reject Mr. Robinson, in brief, would open to catastrophe a political situation which can yet be easily composed. Balancing the budget is nonsense, says Mayor That's what the chap who wound Dore of Seattle. HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their ing: JUNE 9. J. J.
