President Seen Turning Toward Left In Order to Win Election in 1936 (Contin From First Page.) toward the left, far enough toward the left to give the radicals no rea- son for starting a third party under Huey Long. Why don't the conservative Demo- erats put some pressure on Mr. Roose- Yelt? Why do they allow the radicals | in the party to do all the pressing? ‘The conservative Democrats don't like Mr. Roosevelt's course. They don't like the New Deal. Some of them say openly that they don't like it. Sen- | ator Carter Glass of Virginia damns the New Deal as a whole, calls it an “abomination.” Senators Tydings of Maryland, and George of Georgia, and Byrd of Virginia and several others speak out publicly against parts of the New Deal. I estimate that out of 69 Democrats in the Senate fully 50 don’t like the New deal. Fully 50 are conservative, in the sense that | they regard the New Deal as radical. | They don't like the New Deal; indeed, | they are appalled by it. But they stop short of threatening to form a new party. In the tug-of-war between two pressures on Mr. Roosevelt, the conservative pressure counts not at all, because it does not threaten Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. There | really is no pressure from the con- | servative side. The radical pressure | counts for everything, because it threatens to form a third party and thereby threatens Mr. Roosevelt's re- election. As Gen. Johnson puts it, “Franklin Roosevelt is not going to permit himself to be defeated in 1936.” l Now I do not doubt that Mr. Roose- velt's partisans and Mr. Roosevelt himself would put this in a different | way. They would arrive at the same result—that Mr. Roosevelt is going to the left in order to prevent a radical third party from getting started. But Mr. Roosevelt's friends would put it this way—this is the way one hears | 1t in circles close to the White House: There are a lot of radicals in the country, the country is in danger from them, there is danger of revo- lutionary upheaval: and the way for Mr. Roosevelt to prevent revolution is to keep in touch with the radicals, keep touching elbows with them. keep them understanding that Mr. Roose- velt is their friend. Course Holds Peril. Grant, if you insist, that this view is sincerely held. is nevertheless a | mistaken view, and a tragically mis- taken course of action. The end of it, if it goes on, will be more serious than anything we have seen yet. What | Mr. Roosevelt does has the effect of increasing radicalism. The true way | to cure radicalism is to get private ! industry going. make it possible for men to have jobs, jobs in the normal sense of private industry. And the only way for Mr. Roosevelt to get private industry going is to take the conservative direction. What Roosevelt. is really doing. his going in the radical direction, terrifies private indusiry and keeps it paralyzed. Mr. Roosevelt’s going farther and farther in the radical direction is'a link in a vicious chain. The chain, the circle, can be desribed thus: The radicals demend radical action; Mr. Roosevelt takes a step in the radical direction; that step scares private business; because private business is scared, recovery is postponed; because recovery is postponed, radicalism in- creases. And so on through another round of the vicious circle. The conservative Democrats, by be- ing sllent, by failing to put pressure on Mr Roosevelt, are doing a dis- service to him and to the country. By letting the radicals do all the pressing they embarrass Mr. Roose- velt. Mr. Roosevelt's real wish, I think, is to steer a_middle course. But the conservative Democrats don't give him a chance to steer the middle course, because they don't put on him any pressure corresponding to what the radicals put on him. President Heeds Pressure. To change the figure of speech from pressure to pulling, one would say that Mr. Roosevelt is at the middle of a tug of war. The radicals pull | their end of the rope very hard, but | the conservatives don't pull at all.| This leaves the President, as he con- | strues politics, no choice but to go in the direction the radical rope pulls. | If it is plain Mr. Roosevelt is going | to go to the left, what will the con- servatives do about it—I mean all the | conservatives in both parties? The ! Republicans—they are practically all | conservatives in the sense of anti- | New Dealers—think they have a chance to win, as Republicans. But | the Republicans standing alone can'i | win if Mr. Roosevelt is able, as Gen. | Johnson says he will be, to prevent | the formation of a radical third party. | The only chance of the Republicans lies in Mr. Roosevelt's following being split by a radical third party. And it is apparent Mr. Roosevelt is going so far to the left that even the ex-| treme radical fringe will see no need of a third party. | If all the conservatives in both par- | ties were united in a common party with a common candidate for the presidency they would win. If the | Republicans think of themselves as primarily conservatives, and if their one wish is to save America from rad- | jcalism, then the Republicans ought to be willing to make any concession whatever to get the conservative Dem- | ocrats to unite with them. I should not like to lead the reader to think | that such a union is likely. But it is 50 desirable that it ought to be likely. Belgium Bad Example to Gold Bloc; Monetary Orthodoxy Receives Blow (Continued From First Page.) sunk to some 150 billions. fiscal tak- ings absorb no less than 100 billions. if local taxes of all descriptions are in- | cluded in the picture. To such a state of affairs the revision or the abolition of the gold standard certainly would bring some relief. But the essential reservation must be made that the remedy will prove futile if retail prices begin to rise— | because, in that case, as salaries would have to keep up with them, producing costs, t0o0, would be swollen and their adjustment to selling prices would not be carried out. The great task to be performed is, then, to make use of the devaluation of the currency to! bolster up wholesale prices and the | price of raw materials, and, simulta- neously, to leave retail prices more | or less where they are. How can it be expected that such contradictory | movements shall be combined and | harmonized by the application of a single policy of devaluation® The answer is that the price of raw | materials and agricultural products | has fallen disastrously. out of all comparison with retail prices, for the simple reason that salaries play a | negligible part, as far as they are con- cerned. Wholesale prices, too, which | depend mainly upon the relation be-' tween supply and demnand and are not | closely governed by salaries, have | been much more severely affected. As & result, there is a big margin where | those two sets of prices can freely re- bound before they rejoin the retail | prices of today. ‘ Profits Would Solve Problem. ’ But were retail prices to ascend as | well as the others, the disparity would | persist and the purchasing power of the community would not be really restored. Of course, once industrial profits have reappeared, the economic | crisis can be considered to be at an | end and the economic forces to have | resumed their free play. They can | be left to take care of themselves. It can be granted that the problem has solved itself somehow. The above remarks, incidentally, explain why, in the United States and in England or Belgium, for instance, a policy of devaluation is seen from different angles. In America, which is a great producer of raw materials and foodstuffs, devaluation has been welcomed by most as conducive to rising prices; while in England, Japan | and Belgium, which live principally | on industry and exports, it has been | hailed as a means of budgetary relief and lower producing costs. Moreover, devaluation was delayed In Belgium, and so far has been avoided .n France, by the apprehen- sion many have felt lest, on the whole, the cost of living would become more oppressive, owing to the special psy- chology of the people. If this were | the case, the main advantage of the | process would be missed. In that re- spect it must not be overlooked that | in both countries, less than 10 years | ago, the currency was deprived of a large proportion of its gold content. All who had to live upon fixed in- comes and were unable to recoup themselves by commercial or indus- trial gains—such people were dras- | tically fleeced. “New Deal” Seen in France, In the mind of all those victims devaluation not unnaturally means | the issuing of bad money and a con- | tinuous advance of all prices. Now, let the professors epdeavor to make them realize that in 1926, the cur- rency permanently lost most of its pur- chasing power because it was too high., owing to the overflowing stream of bad money which had been released to defray the costs of war and recon- struction; but that at the present time | the economic organism suffers because the purchasing power of the currency has become too small. Tell them that, in consequence, devaluation—which formerly expressed itself in high prices—ought, if tried again in the | new circumstances, to produce low | prices. The professors who put forth this argument would be laughed at And, mind you, notwithstanding & those fine theories, it is quite possibi that the “profiteers” would success- fully exploit the monetary reform and “make a killing.” Nevertheless, in France and other countries, after methods similar to those of Herbert Hoover have been put to the test :nd‘tound inade~ °7 quate, the tendency asserts or will probably assert itself to open up. one way or another, a New Deal after the Roosevelt pattern. On March 18 Belgian currency practically ceased to be convertible into gold at the level established eight years ago and on April 1 the gold standard was reintroduced at a loss of 28 per cent of the former parity. Confused Banking Blamed. What swept out the “bankers’ cab- inet.” in office since Autumn, and hastened the process of devaluation under the new cabinet was, as in the case of America, the fact that in day. of prosperity the banking system had failed to keep carefully apart twe functions which ought never to be confused—the safeguarding of de- posits and the financing of industry | and trade. The result was that finally | the nation’s critical economic condi- tion led to the withdrawal of de- posits. The Societe Generale de Bel- gique, of which Minister Francqui was head, thus controls 70 per cent of Bel- | gian industry and colonial undertak- | ings in the Congo. The *“bankers’ cabinet,” therefore, had to choose between a general clos- ing of banks and suspension of the gold standard, involving devaluation. It selected the latter but left to fits successors the problem of enforcing it in all its details. | The trouble is that while the old Liberal Catholic majority maintained to the end that the gold content of | the currency should not be impaired, | it made it necessary for the new pre- mier, an expert unfettered by party ties, to enlist the services of the So- cialist party. The Socialists accepted his offer only on condition that eco- | nomic and social reform would be coupled with monetary reform, that managed economy would be added to managed currency. Within the small framework of Belgium, as a con- sequence, a new Roosevelt experiment now unfolds, on perhaps a more am- ; bitious scale. All odds are that eco- nomic and social reform will spoil reform of the currency. Already re- tail prices are kept down only with the greatest difficulty. / Belgium Bad Example. Belgium's step is of bad augury for what remains of the gold bloc. For some time speculative pressure has exerted itself against the Swiss franc and the Dutch guilder. The French government eventually may be ex- pected to withstand all this commo- tion energetically, but isn't it to be feared that protracted resistance would only result in giving the Socal- ists their much-coveted opportunity? If the rest of the gold countries part | with the gold standard or begin to | manipulate the currency, what will be the effect on other nations? The | “gold bloc.” as long as it continues to makes for some degree of s Demonstration Crosse & Blackwell’s PANTRY-CORNER | with is truly formidable. | line—involving. as THE bility and fixity, in so far as there is no need for England to depress her currency further in order to reap the advantage of production costs lower than those of the *“gold” countries. She gets those advantages with to- day’s devaluation of 30 to 40 per cent, and can afford to let the dollar retain, in relation to the pound sterling, a Mr. | proportionately greater purchasing Power. Contrariwise, were the purchasing power of the gold currencies to be in- creased on the home market—were the French franc, for instance, to fall to the figure of 90 to a pound sterling instead of 71 to 72, the British gov- ernment would not only resort to new measures of customs protection; it also might be tempted, by means of the equalization exchange fund, to re- store the vanishing premium upon which its production and trade main- tain themselves. Were this done, the dollar in its turn might be carried away in that downward race. In other words, the pelicy of devaluation would get out of control, No Good if All Try It. After all, devaluation, as far as exports are concerned, is profitable only if it is practiced by just a few countries, however powerfpl they may be. As soon as it is pragdiced by all, it ceases to be of real Advantage to anybody and can lead only to further economic dislocation. Hence the idea that to ward off that possible aggravation of the crisis, a general stahilization of currencies ought to be provided for by an inter- national agreement. But there is still no sign that such an agreement can be achieved. In an international conference on this subject, every country would attempt to steal a march on its rival—that is, to select | whatever gold level would be most helpful to its own producers and ex- porters or, if it could not do it, under the pressure of the creditors’ interests at home it certainly would deny to | others the right to secure such an advantage for themselves. In the home politics of each nation | currency stabilization always gives rise to the bitterest controversy that can be imagined, because it cets con- tending groups of interests fizhting one another. Transferred to the in- ternational plane, that controversy would be still more vehement. It would reach the same degree of acer- bity as the disarmament discussion. Central Authority Needed.

While the bulk of the 2d Wing of the &. H. Q. Air Force is stationed at Langley Field—now the home of the 2d Bombardment Group, the 8th Pur- suit Group, and the 19th Airship Company—other squadrons forming an integral part of the group are being created at other points along the coast. Bolling Horhe of Tactical Units. Bolling Pleld, as a result of the re- organization, will be for the first time in its 18 years' history, the home of technical units of the air force. The local field is reaching the greatest peak of activity it has known, with the creation of three new squadrons now in process. The new Bolling Field squadrons are the 14th Bombardment Squadron, a part of the new 9th Bombardment Group, with headquarters at Mitchel Fleld, N. Y. the 21st Observation Squadron, which is to be equipped with long range amphibion planes capable of reconnaissance operations at sea or ashore, and the 100th Service Squadron. Although these squadrons are being organized and will be housed at Bolling Pleld, they are a part of the 2d Wing, will receive much of their actual train- ing with the wing and, in case of emergency would at once join the wing for war service. The present Headquarters Unit at Bolling Field | has been abolished and administration of the field turned over to a station | complement, as is the case at other flelds which are the homes of tactical | organizations. Not only do the new War Depart- ;men! plans provide for the temporary | promotion of Air Corps officers to ranks in keeping with their duties and | responsibilities, but they also provide for a rigorous weeding out, especially in the G.

Flying proficiency | boards have been set up for this pur- | pose and will pass at least once a . year on the flying ability of every pilot in the service. | New Plan im Effect Now. Under the new plan which went into effect March 1, the chief of the | Army Air Corps, Maj. Gen. Benjamin | | D. Foulois. assuming the same status period of 27 days. The maneuvers were designed to test whether a Gen- eral Headquarters Air Force combat unit ‘could operate in the fleld, con- stantly changing its theater of oper- ations, take care of itself, supply itself by air transportation of rations and Alr Corps supplies, and evacuate its sick. All functions of field operations and the present fleld equipment of the wing underwent rigid testing under war conditions. ‘Through all sorts of ‘weather conditions, planes of the Wing flew a total of 3,753 hours without a single serious accident and with but one forced landing. As a result of the maneuvers improvements are being made which are expected greatly to improve the mobility and fleld efi- clency of all air combat units. ‘The second major maneuvers, a cold-weather test flight, operated during the entire month of Pebruary in the Ncrthern and Northwestern States, involved 17 airplanes of the various service types. These ma- neuvers resulted in some of the most dramatic ircidents in peace-time serv- ice flying, taking the planes through avage blizzards, high winds, tempera- tures of far below zero and even a | terrific duststorm. The lessons of these maneuvers were many and im- ing of engine covers, wheel skiis, cockpit and cabin heaters, flying clothing and other equipment.

The increase of 800 men scarcely will be felt. The situation with respect to officers is even less encouraging. There is a feeling, how- ever, in the service that the Congress which has authorized increases in the military service will not permit the magnificent new G. H. Q. Air Force | to be crippled long for lack of per- | sonnel. Hopeful, revitalized, with & new morale and a new goal, the officers and men of the Air Corps and the | General Headquarters Air Force to- | day are working harder than in many years, to give the United States the most effective air defense it ever has known.

The bombardment airplane, because of the vastly improved speed and per- formance of this type, has become the backbone of the new G. H. Q.

All the tactical squadrons in the Continental United States are trans- ferred to the command of the new commanding general of the G. H. Q. Air Force, who is responsible directly to the chief of staff. not to the chief of Air Corps. Two large-scale maneuvers which are regarded as of outstanding im- portance have been held in connection with the reorganization, with a num- ber of only slightly less important maneuvers on a smaller scale. One of the major maneuvers took 81 airplanes, a non-rigid airship and a ground train of 42 trucks into a number of Southern States in a series of field maneuvers which covered a small cannon, or must resort to the rather uncertain method of dropping | light time bombs on the bombard- ment airplenes while in flight. Although the G. H. Q. Air Force has been organized and is function- ing, it is & skeletonized force and its crying need is for personnel, espe- cially officer personnel. Tactical squadrons which should have 24 com- missioned officers in many cases are composed of not more than three | commissioned officer-pilots of the | Regular Army. three or four Reserve | officers on active duty and three or four flying cadets.
