OUR leading straw pollers announced their latest results almost simultaneously within the last few days. Each of the four thus seems to indicate a different result. The Literary Digest suggests to the ordinary reader that Landon will probably win. Dr. Daniel Starch, leader of a research organization, shows the outcome will hinge upon 8 per ceat of the undecided vote. Dr. Gallup, organizer of the Institute o public opinion, hiats & Roosevelt victory by & narrow margin. Fortune proves it 1z a Roosevelt landsiide. Substantially, the figures are these: Name. Digest. Starch. Gallup. Fortune. Roosevelt 41 50 59 Landon Lemke _ Undecided If you will look at the figures closely, you will also see the Digest and Fortune are within 1 percent- age point of being exactly Oppo- site in their conclusions. And, if you average them all up, you will find the consensus is: Roosevelt, 49; Landon, 46. Poll conductors will offer many worthwhile reasons why a com- parison of their current totals is unwarranted. But none of these explanations will help an average reader to find out definitely how the election is going. It is true the Digest poll covers only 31 States. As it is an extensive straw ballot poll (750,000 ballots so far), its final verdict will not be ready until just before election. The other three are sample ballot systems. Dr. Gallup's deductions are made from polling about 165,000 persons weekly in all localities and classes, and Dr. Starch’s system is the same. TReir deductions change from week to week. Fortune deduces only once every three ‘months and then only from polling 1,600 persons, dut its latest deduction is conmcurrent with the other three. Each deducer has arguments to prove his method is the most accurate. But the trouble is no one can find out who is wrong until after the election is oyer and the question becomes immaterial. « e w0 The question of how much of these straw polls is straw has stirred hot debate in parlor and office. Politicos and their experts are disturbed. Certain Democratic authorities, in fact, are promising under their breaths to have & bill outlawing straw polls proposed at the next session of Congress, even though most of the polls give an edge to President Roose- velt. 'These authorities do not question the sincerity or validity of the polls, but claim the early results are misleading, and hurt their game. The debate probably will never get to the point of passing & law. The politicos won't go that far. After election, ususlly, all is forgotten. Never- theless, & bill probably will be introduced at the next session and the sub- jects debated. Presidents have a hard time maintaining an objective viewpoint. FEnthusiasts swarm around them and generally fawn before all their ideas. Harsh criticism from their political opponents naturally stirs a defensive attitude within them and thus obscures their own vision. Mr. Roosevelt, those around him say, has fought to maintain his objectivity and has adopted an unusual policy. He tosses many written suggestions and ideas to any one who happens to be around, callers, stenographers or secretaries, and asks their opinions, just to get their inexpert viewpoint. The other day. for example, he thrust a very important plan before his 19-year-old son and said: ‘“How does that strike you?"” PR It did not get out, but the Presi- dent sent a personal telegram to the new Secretary of War Wood- ring saying he would readily un- derstand the reasons for offering him a recess appointment only. Politicians are bearing the tale that Gov. McNutt of Indiana or Mayor La Guardia of New York is slated for the job if Mr. Roose- velt is re-elected, while others say Mr. Woodring, a Kansan, will get it if he carries Kansas for Mr. Roosevelt. Still others draw a connection from the retirement of one of Mr. Woodring’s relaties as an independent in a senatorial race. Apparently Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Woodring are the only ones who really know. It cannot be true, but Capital newsmen claim to have discoered a Senator who does not want pubdlicity. And he is not only a Sena- tor but chairman of one of those investigating committees, the chief purpose of which has always been publicity. Chairman Lonergan of the Senatorial Campaign Investigating Com- mittee seldom will meet the press, and when he does, he wants to put out a written statement. Recently he reluctantly discussed a meeting of his committee and suggested that in the future all questions be submitted to him in writing. He was not trying to suppress information, but he just ‘was not seeking publicity. A movement is afoot to put him in the Smithsonian. * (Copyright, 1936.)

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT in his Pittsburgh speech denied the charge, made some weeks ago by Republican Vice Presi- dential Candidate Frank Knox, that “on life insurance policy is secure, no savings account is safe” And at Pittsburgh on the . same night Col. Knox repeated the charge, amplified it, insisted the § charge is true. As in many ¥ cases, the differ- ence of opinion hangs upon par- % ticular word The words used by Col. Knox, % “secure” and “safe” are not the right words. These words, as commonly used, imply danger of bankruptcy, danger that the life insurance companies and savings banks may fall and close thelr doors. There is no such danger, and Col. Knox did not mean to say there is. He explained, in his repe- tition of the charge, that this 1s not what he means. The real danger is inflation. I hope the reader will not stop at that for- bldding word, for what I hope to do is to explain, in part, what inflation is. Col. Knox Thursday night used a more apt word, “dilution.” “Dilution of the dollar” is an accurate descrip- |tion of what the administration is doing. “Dilution” means watering the milk, and the average man grasps | what that is. What is the fiscal practice of the administration that dilutes the dollar, | | and thereby causes peril to life insur- | ance policles and savings bank ac- counts? The practice is not easy for | the average man to understand it. Economists understand it per- | fectly. Some of them try to make it | clear to the public. Few succeed. | Possibly I may not succeed. But I | shall try the device of being very | simple. The erudite will understand | | that in being simple I am obliged to | omit many qualifications, details and technical terms. . “Borrowing” Not Borrowing. President Roosevelt describes what | he does as “borrowing.” Strictly, it is | not borrowing at all. | I it were | | borrowing in the ordinary sense, as| | the average man understands that | | word, it would be less dangerous. | However, let us see just what it is, just what takes place. Let us imagine the scene: Mr. Roosevelt wants some more money. He wants it to spend on ‘Quoddy or for relief or whatnot. ‘There is not as much- in the Treasury as he wants. He sends for Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau. “Henry,” says Mr. Roosevelt, “I want another billion.” “Okay, chief,” says | Mr. Mgqrgenthau. Mr. Morgenthau calls up the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. “Print a billion of short-term bonds,” says Mr. Morgen- thau. Now, essentially, what happens?

S0 what I say is that Mr. Browder shouldn’t crave to sue anybody. If he believes in the practice of what he preaches, which of course he does, he ought to go around kissing everybody on both cheeks and rejoicing that at Jeast one outstanding principle of Rus- sian communism has been applied in America—and to him.

If mot too much of it is done, there is nothing irregular about it. But the reader will see it is very dif- ferent from the way he himself “makes” dollars. The average man makes dollars only by work, by pro- ducing goods or dealing in them. The administration makes dollars by & kind of magic. The average man knows that for him to get a thou- sand-dollar deposit In the bank he must work and save.

Knox is quite certain this will happen.

That was after it| was known that Mr. Roosevelt had | entered into a stabilization agreement with France and Britain. Some per- sons think that stabilization abroad will help, mildly at least, toward avert- | ing inflation in America. Others, and apparently Col.

The only | real safeguard against inflation is lori the Government to stop “making”| dollars in the way I have described. ‘That means the Government must stop | spending more dollars than it has, must keep within its income.

We, the People -Defense of Coughlin’s Right to Voice Opinions Brings Many Diversified Views. BY JAY FRANKLIN, OME TIME ago I urged that Father Charles Edward Coughlin was entitled to freedom of speech and that any ecclesiastical attempt to silence his attack on Roosevelt would constituie Vatican interfer- ence with American politics, since he had been allowed to attack Hoover unrebuked. This innocent application of our constitutional liberties to the radi- orator of Royal Oak has provoked three comments from the neighbor- hood of Philadelphla, Apparently neither the Coughiinites, the Catholics nor the Communists are pleased with my generosity toward the micro- phone messiah. T. F. (Irish) writes darkly: “Your damning of Father Cough= lin by the faint praise of liderty of speech for him, is the beginning of your perfected attack upon him. You, like many of your kept columnists, are using the Macchiavellian tactics of your master, Franklin Double-cross Roosevelt, Perhaps, the commons may be deceived for another four years and again turn to their former reactionary masters. Long or short, the day of reckoning is inevit- able in spite of Macchiavellian statesmen and prostituted writers.” s e e e V. M. MoC. (also Irish) writes for the American Catholics: “To us & priest is something more than an average citizen—highly educated so that he may more fully serve as God's representative and something that we can look to and respect as well - N a8 accuse ourselves to for our sins of omission and commission. “The fact that he is the only priest in the country doing and saying things in such a crude manner, I think, is sufficient proof that our priests keep themselves aloof from politics as a game and engage in it only & sclence. We have always prided ourselves upon being able to go to our churches and never hearing politics discussed and this was especially true during prohibition, when so many churches were head over heels in politics. The encyclicals of our Popes regarding politics and economics dealt with these two sclences only in a general way and were meant to apply to conditions throughout the world. “When Father Coughlin talks about the Federal Reserve Bank, the silver question, the gold standard and whether Roosevelt, Landon or Lemke are elected he is going far afleld of our Holy Father's bulls— hence, we feel that he was educated and ordained for God and the things that appertain to God end that he should be Inade to stick to his voca- tion. How can he look after his congregation while he is flying over the country, and as far as the money end of his racket is concerned, this is doing more to harm the church than anything for centuries.” . . - XRoresrss Finally, T. H. (who bears the surname of one of our recent Presi- dents) objects to my having implied that there is litlle freedom of speech in the Soviet Union and advises me to read the constitution of the U. 8. 8. R. He adds: “In this country free play is given to those like Coughlin, whose interests are definitely against the interests of the general masses, while the leaders of those masses are constantly and with legal sanction suppressed. (T. H. gives a long bill of particulars, with which I agree. Radicals are not given constitutional liberty in this country.) *This is not an argument for the suppression of Father Coughlin. Ina capitalistic country that would be as incongruous as the suppression of & speech by Stalin in the U. 8. S. R. But it is an attempt to convince you, as a liberal writer on political issues, of the necessity for you to in- vestigate the laws and policies you write about.” * ¥ ¥ % ‘These three views are the honest expressions of three approaches to the subject of Father Coughlin's political activities. My position remains the same. I can sympathize with the anxi- eties of those Catholics who feel that he is bringing discredit upon their church. I can share the resentment of the radicals that a Coughlin is tolerated, encouraged and financed, while Communist leaders are shut off the radio, their meetings broken up by police, and their candidates kept off the ballot. And I can appreciate the uneasiness of the Coughlinites at the fallure of the New Deal or the Vatican to make & martyr out of their hero. But I really had nothing up my sleeve. I still insist that Father Coughlin is entitled to complete freedom of speech and of political action, as an American citizen, and that those who would suppress him lack faith in the power of free institutions to preserve human liberty and religious toleration.
