Indeed, in^ natiou that has a tradition of being largely conserva- tire. some of the things that have hap pened. or have been brought about by the new dealers;, could not e\en be Imagined except by those Iwho dwell In the hoose of the theorist. But they i have ; they are with" us, and .without coramendatiofi or criticism, it la being asked: whst have we? For one thing, Jn the past twelve months, we liave oh9(‘r\'ed the slowly, stretching tentacles of the federal gov ernment reaching out into hitherto un- bpowD functions; we have seen those Mine tentacles taking ever more and more the rights of Individuals and of ^ atalea and leaser divisions, of guveror ment. and we have witnessed what some itersona bold to be an absolute destruction of that taisic difference b«‘tweeD one_natioD and a union of our several states. Tiiat is. according to the view just set forth, we are for the period of the emergency at least, just one people “instead of |»eoples of the 4S states and the Ldstrirt of rolutiibia. Also, i think it is true that never In i our history have we known a time when the Pr»*sident of the Tnlted States was poKsesaed of such power either legally or politlcMIy, as now.

It Is natural — 1 ^That"‘ they—ahabld be.— going ta be some years before we can know whether tho theories and the plans of the iM*w dealers will be accepted iDta the basic structure of American lives. Of one thing we can be sure: If all of the changes, or even half of them, are knitted permanently into our so cial structure, the accomplishuient af these last twelve mouths In that direc tion will have l»e«a greater l»y many times than the changes that have oc curred in any other century, indeed.

Every oae of them has Injected Into American life projects and proposithms which were rejected in one form or another , In their basic ideas In years gone by, Ender the desjteratiou of the depres sion. they were hurled Into the whirl pool of our so«-ial structure with vary ing auoi'esh*, as meosun’d hy the re sults thus-far. Nearly all of the prin ciples Injected Into the coiiiuierrlal lifeblood of the nation are of a char acter to prooiots group or unit action diatingulslied from individual action that wa.s develo(>ed with tite opening up of American re.sources after forma tion of the I’nion. We never have known^ for instance, a time when oar government told hu»lnes.s In so many worde tiiat it could work together as a unit. If II M«*l <wTatn nHiufreiBents, nor have we ever known a time when our government said to agriculture that It had to rut down its produo- Jlion in a Bjono|iolistlc agreement in order to force higher jtrices. One could go on and on with illustrations. Now. to re|»eat the c-arlier question: what have we?

The coun- Noiiceahle try has eiin^rged deprc.s.'.lou, to some extent at least. 1 believe no one can say with assurance, however, Uiat we are far enough on the road to recitvery ttiat we can be sure of no relapse. But those persons who are best In a (mhu- tion to appraise conditions certHlnfy feel there has been a gain. As to the cause of this Improvement, one can pick up an argument almost : anywhere. The ardent sup[»orters of , the new deal assert the Itosevelt poli cies are responsible, while those op- i posed to the Roosevelt fiolicies claim 1 there Is a probability th.st some or all of the progress made came, from the natural wearing out of the depres sion. That is. history records the same course for all depreuMions. Stocks I nnd^ supplies are exhausted and pro- i diiction starts up of ita own aemrd to aieet the demand. So we are staiVing in on a second : year of the new deal, as 1 see the pic ture. still uncertain as to the outcome i but equipped with greater conflilence ' than obtained among the rank and I file of the people a year ago. it wW be reialied how mihjr times President Roosevelt has said, in presenting new Items in his new deal, that here was something else to try. lie has ex|ieri- menied. The law of average might seem to indicate that part of them will work, and obviously a 'part of them have been influential in the economic progress that has been made. But who can sav 'with. a.«surance which they were and how much influence each had? It la my conviction that sational. propiwal to give Secretary of Agrlcnlture Wallace authority to con- t;col the amount of cotton that may be prodneed each year. Tlie legislation, known aa the Bankhead bilL la oil- . douhtedly the most lmi>ortant-prop* ositioB yet devised for extending fed eral. power, because It not only la- vades rights hitherto respected but It provides the secretary of agriculture with power to force cotton farmers to obey his orders In limiting the cotton productloB. Sutx'inctly. the Bankh«‘ad bill with sfhTcfi'congfeSs Is now Wrest Ttng wooTd'T limit the prtvdaction of etdton in tho I’ntted Slates to pine million bales for the crop year of and la order to prevent the prvKlucflon of a greater amount there Is a d«*stmotive sales tax provided for appli<*ation to tho \ surplus. Tbe tax is flxeil at twelve cents a pound for the amount in ex cess of nine million bales, and that figure, of course, is higher than the value of the cotton Itself. To enable the sevveiarr of agriculture to control the preduettoa. each fanner who plnnte*! cotton would have to obtain from the secretary what Is desrrliied as a «“erllflcaie of exemption for the amount he lnlende<l to pn*diice. That Is to say. the farmer would he given a certiflcate exemiUlng so many pounds of Cotton from the operatlob of the sate* tax. and It Is pr»‘.iuined that the certificates of exemption will l>e issued only for the requlreil ainoiiht. Fr«>m Ihl* brief outline, it must be ap{»arent that never lefore has there heon such a draWlc pro|*osal for con trol of Individual husln<*sses of niea in this c*>unlry. ' . Cnder the present crop rtsluctlon plans, the pro|»<»slf|on is voluntary. There Is a coniractuni kirangeinenr Into whl«'h the producer voluntarily enters.

Tliese certificates theroselves migtit t*ecome a com- noidity. This could mean that various persona prho la the |«ast have engaged in the production of cotton and would be entitled to exemiition certificates, may prefer te remain out of cotton produclioa and to rely for part of their InrosM honnsiiy received from cottoa upoo the sales values of their exemptloa cenificstes!"- Thc arerrtary likewise pointed to another vital si»^*t in the statement that There was no due allowance made for. dffferefices In soil conditions or weather, between the north and south Hnew of the cotton belt, and^ ottier such purely local phases. ^ But It Must Be Admitted , Pleasing Quality Is Hard to Define. On behalf of a well known charity there is, to be a series of lectures given in New York on the intriguing aubjecl, “What is charm?” "Experts" on the subject of charm have been reendted to talk on their specialties. There Is to be a well- known beauty si'ecialist, an actress, a aocieiy woman, an Important dressmaker, a poetess and "promi nent women from the world of art. home decorating and the screen"! A:id they will endeavor to answer the question. “What is charm?" 1 doubt 1? they can—If anyone can. The nwiment you try to track down the quality to definable terms It eludes you. "That sounds like It.” you will Ksy, “l»ut So-and So would not answer quile to such a descrip tion, and yet she has charm.” Or aomevvoe who does answer doesn’t have quite that something that fwds her apart and makes everyboiiy, men. won^n and children—oh, yes, the women and children, too, recog nize real charm—her slaves.

It reminds I e of that faraoua question of Mrs. Teall of tbe Newark Evening New'g. "What quality do yen vibrateF It is a quality that some women vibrate, but I d«Hibt that any one “si»eclalist" can quite catch It—It Is comiMMimliMl of ao many things.
