Congres^ frit that Mr. Roosevelt’s i popularity was on the decline, and| 'evinced a strong desire to assert its! j independence of the executive by do- ring aft iCcnuld to “put the 8kTds“ un der him. \ T^e turn of congressional sentiment began in May, when the Florida pri- ,mary results gave warning that per haps the voters of the nation, as a whole, did not share the distrust and dislike of the president, which so many congressional members of his I own party expressed, in acts and words. There was anxiou.s feeling of the public pulse in the back home dis acat and policies. The administratkm’s rearmament and intemationd poli- cies app^ to have the Wrgest meas ure of .pofMilar support; the presi dent’s attitode towanl labor and busi ness and his T. V. A. policies arc lefst favored. The government reorganization pro gram is definitely unpopular, and there is widespread dislike of t^ ad visers and associates generally re garded as^ having great influence at the White House. Fact<MTr labor, farm workers and other wmge-eamert are strongly for him. Farmers, housewives and “white collar” workera in general are report ed to be strongly for him, while ex ecutives, students and professional people largely lean the other way. Basiness Uptam In Fall Besides such evidences of the presi dential hold upon the affections of the American citizenry, another and imne sidistantial ground for the ad ministration’s gratification 'with tiie national outlook is'the evidence of returning business confidence.^ Part of this evidence is the sharp upturn in the stock markets,* immediately after -the adjoummenjl of congress; indicating that investors are recover ing from their jittery feai;, of an in tention in Washington to ruin busi ness. , “ The economics in Washington are confident that the business depres sion is “scraping bottom” and -that the upturn will be apparent to every- bo<ly by August or September. This view is confirmed by the opinions of non-political authorities on economics, incl'jding Col. Leonard P. Ayers of Cleveland, whose business forecasts have been almost uncannily accurate. Business men, who have got into the habit of expecting a lambasting w'henever Mr. Roosevelt makes a speech, felt better when, after * he pointed out that business' has made many mistakes, he also took labor to task for its exorbitant demands and conceded that government itself had not been ffee from errors of judg ment.

He disavowed any intention of intervening, as president, in any pri mary oMitests, but as head of the Democratic party he teserved tbe ri|^ to prefer' liberal to reactionary candidates. Stronger than any words he did or could utter was his unezpbdted ^ecu- tive order patting into the ckunified civif service more than 100,00Q gov ernment positions which have hereto fore been regazded as political' pat ronage. He accompanied that with an order forbidding sil priHkal activttiea by government en^oyees or the use of political influence to gain employ ment in the puUk service. Experienced Washington' observers expect no such millenial state of things to come into existence ovar- nighty but it is hailed by the advo cates of civil service reform as the longest step ever taken in one stride toward the ideal of taking public ser vice outside of the realm of party politics.

Can it be that the depression of 1937-38 came an the result of public over-spending and over-speculating? We have spent great sums of mon. ey — billions of dollars — priming the pump, recovering, and relieving. At the end of e^ht years we are asked to do it all over again because there is another depression—do it all over again with greater spending, and deeper defkks. There is tangible evidence on all sides, at this very moment to refute completely the theory of spending to Mve. Yet, we are asked blindly and mutely to follow that theory in the same old groove which has led us in a cycle to the point whence we start ed. We are toM to continue on the theory which has been so realistically ditoredked. 'fhoiw who would as much as srince St spending whatever is necessary to feed and clothe and shelter those in ;^'^ual8. want are hard to And. of direct obligations, and at least five billion dollars more in contingent lia bilities. Of the latter there is no way of telling how much actual debt there is in that total. It is upon this fiscal foundation that recent reforms are founded. It is upon this foundation that the govern ment is seeking to build recovery. True 'liberalism must always be backlogged by strong, aonnd, conaef- \ative fiscal policies if progress is to be perpetuated as a step to a more enlightened and proaperous future. A debt ridden nation wirii conalant- ly recurring deXicks offers no hoge to its underprivileged. A debt ridden nation with constantly recurring def icits offers puny guidance to recov ery and prosperity. Paying oneM bills is always con structive; k is never destructive.
