THE EVEN Ananias Club Eligibility Is Hinted President, Mr. Roper Contradict Each Other on Speech. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. ORE than 30 years ago, Theo- dore Roosevelt started the “Ananias Club” and from time to time put into its Mmembership those who disputed his wveracity. The newspaper correspondents of Washington who 3 Mmeet regularly st o with the Presi- dent of the} United States i they have too i much respect for i Franklin Roose- velt. They would prefer to believe that any incons tency of state- ?e:‘d t\\'fls lu‘l.‘ad- o ertent rather 5 Shebrala e David Lawrence. Last week Tuesday, the press cor- respondents asked President Roosevalt if he endorsed the statement on labor policy which had been made by the Secretary of Commerce, Daniel Roper. Mr. Roosevelt replied flatly that he had not read the statement. The in- ference conveyed was that the Presi- dent knew rothing about it until it was published. This would tend to detract from the importance of the Roper speech as an administration policy. Now comes the Associated Press on Wednesday of this week with a dis- patch stating that “Secretary Roper revealed today that he had submitted a recent speech of industrial labor re- lations to the White House.” Mr. Roper is quoted as having said that he sent the address in advance to Becretary Early of the White House stafl. A Contradiction. What does Secretary Roper mean by contradicting the President? Or maybe it wasn't intended as a contra- diction? If the President wasn't just fencing with the correspondents and trying to evade a direct answer fo their questicns, and if he literally meant that he had not read the Roper speech in advanoe, it could mean that the White House is run on a basis whereby an important pronouncement on labor policy is passed upon by tine secretaries without taking the tmub)e to draw it to the attention of the Presi- dent of the United States. There have been reports for some time that the White House staff was 80 overworked as not to be able to take care of the President's mem- oranda, a circumstance that may or may not be behind the recent re- quest for six executive assistants to the President at a salary of $10,000 each. But it sees incredible that a vital pronouncement on labor policy would be approved by a White House secre- tary and no knowledge of its phrase- ology given to the President of the United States, who was elected by the people to administer the laws of the land, including those concerned with labor relations. Strange things do happen, however, at the White House nowadays. Only | recently it was averred that the| President signed a lot of blank sheets of paper with his autograph, and he didn't know that the Democratic Na- | tional Campaign Committee put the sheets into campaign books which | were later sold to corporations in vio- lation of the Federal corrupt practices act, the proceeds being used to retire the financial debt incurred during the 1936 campaign by the Democratic na- tional headquarters. Maybe He Didn't Want to Know. It has been suggested that perhaps | Mr. Roosevelt didn't want to know in advance what Secretary Roper was going to say, so he, the President, would be able to repudiate it if public opinion didn't take kindly to the ad- dress. These tactics have been used before in other administrations and | are called “trial balloons,” but it is| rare indeed to find a President of the United States unadvised about an im- portant statement issued by a member of his cabinet. It is even more rare to find a cabinet officer saying some- thing to the press on a question of fact which conflicts directly with what the President himself has said to be the fact. One explanation might be that Secretary Roper is tired of being made the “goat” in his relations with business men and the public generally because things he has said of a con- servative nature have frequently been repudiated by the President's own | statements or actions in respect to various public questions. But this explanation hardly seems adequate. What seems more plausible 1s that Secretary Roper missed read- ing the item in the newspapers say- ing President Roosevelt claimed not to have read the Roper speech in ad- vance. It would be most surprising to find Secretary Roper, who is trained in the school of political loyalty, mak- ing a misstep of this kind innocently. X, however, he did say what he did, knowing what the White House had declared to the press, it may have real significance as indicating that Mr. Roper is not gaing to be put “on the spot” through the carelessness of the White House staff. Was Press Misled? The question remains: Did the President mislead the press, or does the White House staff keep him so solated that he does not even have 8 chance to read the most important statement on labor policy that has come this year from a high official of the Roosevelt administration? Some sort of explanation would seem to be due the press and the public of what did actually happen, for it would be most regrettable after the fine record of relations with the press ‘which has been built up by the Presi- dent and his able assistant, Secretary Early, to find that the White House considers it legitimate to fool the news- paper men. For, after all, fooling the press is not different from fool- ing the public, and it will be recalled that Abraham Lincoln spoke a warn- ing that might be repeated now, to the effect that one can fool some of | the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

BY H. R. BAUKHAGE. HATEVER you may think of the President’s letter to Acting Senate Leader Barkley, ordering “no surrender” in the court fight, it was no bluff. That isn't a guess, it's authentic. “May I, therefore” (shades of Woodrow Wilson), he remarks and you can see the tight smile and jaw shot forward, “tell you very simply that the objectives of the President . . . remain the same.” The door was open, the fiddles were muted. It would have been so easy to retire gracefully, bowing, and let the most heatedly debated issue since the declaration of war slip into the limbo of forgotton things. But today the players in the know know that the court bill is to be fought out and let the dead fall where they may. The Rooseveltian “dutch” is up. But the program was planned calmly, with advisers. The strategy, like the “objectives,” is unchanged, except perhaps that the shock troops will get more action. * k% % Administration scouts today reported that there were still votes enough in the Senate to pass the bill. There was, however, uncertainty as to the abllity to check recommitment (which would mean the bill would go back into committee). The administration claims 54 votes for the bill in the Senate, but the death of Senator Robinson may have released at least four men from their personal oaths of allegiance to the lost leader, which might mean they would vote for recommitment. They called at the White House Thursday morning: Andrews of Florida, Brown of Michigan, Gillette of Iowa, John= son of Colorado. While the result of the Sumners' revolt in the House is realized as a potent factor, the administration believes that, once the Senators succumb, the morale of the House oppositionists will follow. An attempt to seat Senator Barkley as majority leader will probably be made early next week. Adjournment is predicted between September 1-15. * ok ok % The court oppositionists intend to take the fight into the country, attempting to build backfires in communities of the Senators whose votes they haven't corralled. * K ok % This Sunday, Senator Wheeler is scheduled to speak in New Orleans; Monday in Atlanta. The geography is significant. Senator Overton is from Louisiana. Senator Russell is from Georgia. These aze two of the eight Senators upon whom the pressure is being applied. The others are: Andrews of Florida; the Browns of Michigan and New Hampshire, re- spectively; Johnson of Colorado; Chavez of New Mexico, and Lewis of Iilinois. Chairman Hamilton of the Re- publican National Committee is still in Europe, but the boys at home are by no means idle. If two pleces of strategy, one in Missouri and one in New York, are typical of what is planned in between by some of the G. O. P. leaders, it will become as hard to draw a party line as a royal flush. i} The plan, in brief, is to go right down the line in the next election for the Democrats who have opposed the court bill in the Senate or who have been threatened with reprisals by Jim Farley. * K % % Senator Bennett Champ Clark already has the backing of the Re- publicans in Missouri. One heavy contributor to the last campaign was told flatly to put his golden sinews into the Clark election. In New York, should Senator Copeland run for mayor, he would have Republican backing against Mayor La Guardia. To the little group of men who crowded into the taxi last February after the President revealed to them his court plan before announcing it to the press, Representative Sumners’ recent outburst against the bill was hardly a surprise. At the White House meeting, Sumners hadn't said a word. Afterward, in the cab, he turned to Senator Robinson and remarked: “I'm going to cash in my chips.” He held his hands out to the Senator. “Here they are,” he said.

A new accord, announced late yes- terday by Secretary Morgenthau and Arthur de Souza Costa, Brazilian finance minister, provides that the United States will sell up to $60,- 000,000 in gold to the South American republic. Souza Costa and Secretary Hull also made public an agreement to bulwark the existing Brazilian-American trade treaty with “minor complementary measures.” The officials said the two nations would protect benefits of the recip- rocal agreement “against outside com- petition that is directly subsidized by governments.” Germany Not Mentioned. Although some trade experts have asserted Germany rapidly has in- creased sales to Brazil through ex- port subsidies, Germany was not mentioned in the statement. | Brazilian spokesmen said there would be no change in their country’s | relations with that nation. They added that although a trade understanding with Germany has expired, negotia- tions for its continuance will be started. The monetary agreement, following by less than a week a similar under- standing with China, provides that Brazil will use gold acquired here for currency stabilization purposes. Payment to Be in Dollars. The gold will be paid for with Amer- ican dollars, acquired by Brazil in foreign exchange markets or through trade operations. The metal, which will come from the Treasury’s $12,- 400,0000,000 hoard, will be left in this country. Against it, the Treasury may advance dollars to Brazil for stabiliz- ing operations. Brazilian spokesmen said it was intended to brake fluctuations between their milreis, now quoted at about 6.6 cents, and the United States dollar. Treasury authorities said the two currencies will not be linked rigidly, but that more stable relationships between them will be sought. Federal Reserve Board reports J. FRANK KELLY, INC.

Party Government Issue Foes Must Beat Court Bill or Be Driven Out of Politics, Writer Says. BY JAY FRANKLIN. HE {rrepressible issue at Wash- ington is not the reform of the Supreme Court; it is responsi- ble party government. It may very well be that the “found- ing fathers”—whose graven images are 8o solemnly paraded by the anti- Roosevelt cabal—did not intend us to have party government at all, although we lived under a Republican party government from 1861 to 1933, and are still bound by Republican policies so long as the courts remain immune to political progress. ‘The principles of party government are very simple. They embody recog- nized leadership, disciplined loyalty and reliance on the will of the voters. They also involve a commonly ac- cepted set of general principles upon which the people can pass at our regular elections. There is nothing new or sinister or alien in all this; it is the practice of political democracy. It is obviously impossible to have party government when legislators elected under a general mandate for specific leadership and recognized ob- jectives feel free to pull their new- laid consciences like rabbits out of a hat and announce that they will not follow their party's chosen leader or execute his policies. “Tears” of McCarran. ‘That is not party government at all. It is personal government of a dan- gerously irresponsible sort, and not all of Senator McCarran's crocodile tears, not all of Senator Burke's legal sophistry, not all of Senator Wheeler's camphor-reeking “liberalism” can con- ceal the fact that they are exalting their personal opinions above the reg- istered decision of the voters to “trust Roosevelt.” Independence of this kind leads directly to government by cliques, by cabals, by little groups of willful men. It leads to government by any “battalion of death” whom money can buy, ambition tempt or mischief divert. Can men who owe their office to a party be free to desert it on major issues? The Republican Progressives paralyzed much of the G. O. P. pro- gram during the 1920s. We might have got rid of Tory rule earlier than 1932 if it had not been for existence of such rebellious Republicans as George Norris and Bob La Follette. If they had been forced out of public Republican discipline the voters would have found it easier to decide the issues of the 1920s. So with the New Deal. Men who will not support Mr. Roosevelt or his program are not going to be read out of the party. They are auto- matically reading themselves out of the party. The final decision in such matters rests with the nominat- ing conventions and the primaries. It is enough for democracy that the general electorate shall confirm or reject the party’s decisions by eluct- | ing or defeating their candidates. Importance of Court Bill, ‘This amended judiciary reform bill is not worth all the hot air which has been generated in the Senate chamber. Its passage will nc' auto- matically make Mr. Roosevelt a Nero, a Caligula, a Hitler or even a Stalin. Its rejection will not of itself stale- mate the reform of American insti- tutions. All that will be decided is whether the politicians whom the people elected to help Roosevelt do his job are free to mutiny and try to cut their leader’s throat, or whether the President is succeeding in creat- ing a new majority party with enough discipline and liberalism to proceed under its own power. That is why the Judiciary Com- mittee’s report on the measure was a direct attack on the President, a challenge to his leadership and an imputation of motives which, if sus- tained, would justify his impeach- ment and removal from office. Poli- ticians use words rather carelessly at times, and it is quite likely that most of the nine Senators who signed the vilifying report did not regard its bitter language as more than a con- ventional form of political argumen- tation. Some of them may still feel personally well disposed toward Mr. Roosevelt. Calls Foes Ambitious. To at least two ambitious men, however, the form of the report is a matter of immense personal im- portance. Senator Wheeler of Mon- tana and Senator Burke of Nebraska are ambitious men, they are clever men, they are adept in the art of rabble rousing, and they know that now either they must beat Roosevelt or be drummed out of decent politics. They well knew what' they were doing when they set out to defend the judicial oligarchy, and they know that if they win they may be able to dictate the Democratic party’s fu- ture policies and to select its major candidates—just as old Boles Penrose was able to crush Theodore Roose- velt's progressive movement and to name Warren G. Harding as Repub- lican candidate in 1920. Here is involved no great consti- tutional issue, no weighty scruple of a sensitive conscience, no principle of pure or impassioned patriotism. The New Deal party is a great party to control, a profitable party to loot. The fight is for responsible party government by the New Dealers and for anarchial opportunism by a hand- ful of shrewd and ambitious poli- ticians. Its outcome will not be de- cided until the elections of 1938, (Copyright. 1937.) CUMMINGS TO TALK TO CRIME EXPERTS 500 Fingerprint Specialists Also to Hear Hoover, Maj. Brown and Senators.

This Changing World ' Sino-Japanese Tension Looks Worse Than it Really Is—Actual War Is Held Doubtful. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. 8ino-Japanese tension looks worse than it actually is. There is no doubt that the Japanese are pouring troops into China and that the regulars of General Chiang Kal Shek are moving cautiously towards the borders of Northern China. But it is doubtful whether these troops will face each other on the battlefleld. There have been frequently such situations in recent years in the Far East and all that happened was that the Japanese grabbed a few more Chinese provinces. The world was then not as alarmed as it is now. Great Britain did not rush, after 1932, to consult the United States and France was in those days more placid than ever. ‘The reason why so much fuss is being made in London and in Paris over the Chinese-Japanese row is that these two capitals want to drew the attention, which is for the time being focused on Spain and Central Europe, to the Far East. How much this will help the situation is one of those questions which only diplomats can answer. * % X The State Department is interested in the conflict, but is not unduly alarmed. After the diplomatic belting we received in 1931 and 1932 when we shouted that this country will never tolerate the acquisition of territories by force, the State Department has learned its lesson. * kK ok ‘The doctrine of non-recognition of lands by force is still one of the cardinal points of the State Department’s foreign policy. But everybody realizes that it is nothing—for the time being at least—but the expression of a pious wish. The non-recognition doctrine has not prevented Tokio from grabbing more Chinese lands and Mussolini from conquering Ethiopia It will not prevent the Japanese from taking the whole of Northern China, if they think they want it. Many of our diplomats believe that the Chinese-Japanese conflict will die out as quickly as it flared up. Some saving device will be found to give both parties a chance to get out from under without much real fighting. * ok % % But the row enabled the Japanese general staff to rush a large number of troops to the Asiatic mainland. These troops will not be recalled soon; they may linger for a while. And many a suspicious observer believes that we had better look for another Amur River incident with the Soviets in the course of this Summer. * K % % The Manchurian incident has taught the nations whiclt signed the nine-power treaty guaranteeing China's territorial integrity not to stick their necks out any longer. While, like the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations covenant, the nine-power pact is still in exist- ence, the diplomats realize that in fact, it is as dead as a corpse. Hence Great Britain made only friendly representations in Tokio while Secretary Hull, in a gentle manner, told the Japanese and Chinese Ambassadors here that it would be in their own interest and in the interest, of the rest of the world for the two countries to patch up their difficulties. But there will be no more notes and “verbal” protests in Tokio reminding the two powers of their treaty obligations, * ¥ ox % As the situation in Europe and in Asia continues to be obscure, the foreign diplomats hope for the best and fear the worst. There have been no basic changes in the international situation. x k% % The three autocracies;—Germany, Italy and Japan—continue an un- swerving policy. They announce loudly what they want, and challenge the others to stop them from getting it. The Democratic States are doing their utmost to avoid & conflict, at least until their military preparations have reached a point when they can accept the other's challenge without fear for the res ts. That is why Great Britain is struggling to find “elegant solutions” to the problems the other nations are planking on her lap and why Russia is trying to make a show of power when it knows that her power is no longer what it was a year or so ago. : ‘The French are beginning to lose patience with the dictators and Wwhile they are not in as good a position as last year, they seem determined to bring about a show-down, if a show-down must come.

Who’s Who Behind the News Senator Barkley Is a Liberal, Although Not | an Extreme One. BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. ENATOR ALBEN W. BARKLEY, ‘Wwho appears to be the adminis- tration choice for Senate lead- ership, is & bit farther over to the left than the late Senator Robin- son, whom he would succeed. Senator Robinson, pretty much of a conservative, was a hard-hitting New Dealer for reasons of personal and party loyalty. The also hard-hitting Kentuckian headed into the promised land mainly under his own steam. He is not an extreme liberal, although he has indorsed labor militancy and has drawn strong - political support from labor. He fought the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill and was an early advocate of the recognition of Soviet Russia. In defending the President’s Su- preme Court plan, he has vigorously expounded what he believes to be the necessity of drastic economic adapta- tion, maintaining that the Constitu- | tion is “a living and vital instrument"” which allows such change. He is not grouped, however, with the established dissenters and party recreants of the Senate. His log-cabin take-off and his rise as a Southern homespun statesman outline a career much like that of Senator Robinson. He studied law and politics under Irvin Cobb's “Judge Priest” of Paducah, who in real life was Judge William Bishop. After the usual Southern workout as county prosecutor and in other such offices he went to the Senate in 1913. “That Alben is a smart boy,” said his father, as he sold the ancestral log cabin and moved into town so Alben could get an education. He got it, wrestling ash cans, working as a Janitor and waiting on table at Marvin and Emory Colleges. He is a serious, bulky, tough-fibered, hard-working citizen. He has a specially built | typewriter, designed to stand a lot of punishment. This is necessary because | the Senator is apt to be vehement, | manually or vocally, and he likes to get. up in the night and whack out a two- fisted speech, with appropriate key-bar emphasis. He was boomed for Vice President at Houston in 1928. He was the Demo- cratic keynoter at Philadelphia last | Fall. In 1932 he was the first favorite son to withdraw in favor of Roosevelt. He, too, is zealous in party loyalty, but | it just happened he was traveling more |in the same general direction with Franklin D. Roosevelt than Senator Robinson.
