Washington, June 10. — Whatever the outcome of the efforts of congress and the' administration to 'siUvage what is-left of the New'Tleal, in the Ight of the supreme court’s decisions, one thing seems clear to most of the political observers here. That is that the issue upon which the presidCTtial campaign of ^936 will be fought out has been sharply and clearly defiiped. The issue will be whether the Unit ed Statqs government is to be further centralized in Washington, or wheth er the existing system of 46 indepen dent stateo is to he continued and strengthened. The supreme court made it clear that under the Constitution as it stands tlu^ can be no such centrali zation of power as Mr. Rosevelt and his advisoi^, ahd his supporters in congress, attempted to exercise. And while the administration is try- in|r to make up its mind whether the people of the United State# are ready to amend the Constitution, the boys on tioDB last fall ; is giving a goc^ many congiessmen something to' worry about There were 32304,^00 ballots fast at that electiqp. If only 1.2 per ceiit "of those yotea hadHbeen cast on the^ other side, in the right districts, a Republican majority instead of a Demoeraitic majority Hbuld have been elfcted. There were one hundred uid eleven closely contested dSstrictsib and a shift of one vote out of every 86 in each oT those 'distru^ would have made the pfi^eht congress Republican instead of Democratic. The boys from those 111 districts, which mght have gone the other way, are wondering ndw how far their vot ers will follow them in any scheme to revive NRA or to change the Consti tution of United States. They have already hehrd from home that,Un the Opinion of great masses of voters, the NRA was already as dead as prohibi tion ever was, even before the su preme court delivered the ^nal knock out blow. What is worrying them ia how far it will be safe for their own political tutures to go along in any kind of effort to revive the codes. Searching for Control Among the interesting suggestions that have been revived as a result of the supreme court decision is the old idea of a federal incorporation law, which would require all businesses en gaged in inter-state commerce to take out federal charters.

Literally, ithere has never been such a state of confusion in Washington within the memory of anyone who is now active in public affairs. On the one hand is the firm belief of the dominant majority in Congress, and of the administration, that. centralized control of business and industry is ab solutely es.sential to the salvation of the economic life of the nation, On the other hand there is profound uncer tainty a.s to whether this point of view | is, held by enough voters to back upj riously than has been the case hereto fore^ More Coalition Talk Getting back to politics, wJilch Washington always gets back to, the suggestion of a coalition party to op pose Mr. Roosevelt next year is being taken with increasing serio^nes.s.
