Organized labor was soundly berated
by C. L. Bardo, president of the Na¬

National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart
Washington. — Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho, sometimes denominat¬
Fletcher ed as a progres-
sjve Republican, has
Will Stick sought out the front
pages of newspapers
again with a demand for reorganiza¬
tion of the Republican party. He
called for the resignation of Henry
P. Fletcher as chairman of the
Republican national committee and
was promptly met with a digni¬
fied declaration from the chairman that
he had no intention of resigning and,
further, that he intended to see what
could be done with the present carcass
of the elephant that vas trod upon so
badly in the last two elections.
That declaration would appear to
have been enough to stop the Idaho
senator temporarily, but it failed and
he was back again on the front page
with another press statement to the
general effect that the present leader¬
ship in tiie Republican party would
amount to little more than a huge joke
unless there were reorganization, re¬
suscitation or reincarnation or some¬
thing else. It seems, however, that the
second blast by Senator Borah was
more than an ordinary dose because it
aroused Senator James Couzens of
Michigan, another individual who en¬
joys labeling himself as a progressive
Republican. The Michigan senator
Borah had real plans, Mr. Fletcher
should resign and the chairmanship
should be offered to Mr. Borah so that
his constructive ideas could be carried
out.
Charles D. Hilles and Mark L. Requa,
Republican national committeemen
from New York and California re¬
spectively, also had their ire bestirred
by Senator Borah while the row be¬
tween Borah and Fletcher was pro¬
ceeding. Neither of these men took
much stock in the Borah proposal be¬
cause they never have viewed things
as the Idaho senator sees them.
The controversy between the several
outstanding individuals over what to
do or not to do
Says Party about the Repub-
Can Come Back *ican party is con¬
sidered by many
political writers in Washington and
by many political leaders as being lit¬
tle more than a flash in tiie pan and
unlikely to lead to solution of the prob¬
lem faced by the party which went
down to such ignominious defeat in two
successive elections. It has been Chair¬
man Fletcher’s contention that despite
the licking the party took, it can come
bst-K and be as strong a force in Amer¬
ican politics as it ever has been, but
he hinted that nothing could be done
until tiie party organization and rank
and file of the voters get over tiie
shock. Ttiis was the condition which
confronted the Democratic party after
tiie defeat of James M. Cox. the Demo¬
cratic candidate in 1920, and it was
paralleled in 1928 when President
Hoover defeuted Alfred E. Smith of
New York. Yet the fact remains the
Democratic party came back and is
now In absolute control of the govern¬
ment machinery. Astute observers
here generally, I believe, hold the view
that some changes may be necessary in
party policies. This view possibly was
expressed better by Representative
Fish, a New York Republican, than
by anyone else when he said that it
was apparent there should be an at¬
tempt made “to liberalize and to hu¬
manize” Republican party policies.
The problem confronting the party
therefore, is looked upon as requiring
something more than front page criti¬
cism. Indeed, I hear many expressions
to the effect that a period of quiet con¬
sideration by party leaders may do
mere to develop a constructive pro¬
gram than all of the bushwhacking and
gun toting by any of the regulars or ir¬
regulars can do. In other words, to
sum up the picture as I hear the con¬
clusions stated here, it would appear
to be a time for the party leaders to
brush away cobwebs and look upon con¬
ditions as they exist rather than to
allow personal animosity and personal
ambition to overcome solid judgment.
So as the Republican row is seen to¬
day, the case is what kind of an arfi-

Secretary Wallace in his annual report
for the Department of Agriculture. Mr
Wallace believes that the adjustment
program should he continued although
he admitted that the enormous sur¬
pluses which previously existed havsi
now largely disappeared as a result ot
drouth or from other causes.
Tiie secretary's report shows soma
indication, in the opinion of observers,
of an intention to change the tack oi
the adjustment program. He suggested
that the task ahead may include ad¬
justment of production to a rising da
mand and that, it was pointed out, will
certainly not require crop reduction
exclusively. fundamental pun
pose, according to tiie secretary's out¬
line, is to establish a balance between
production and consumption, and in de¬
scribing tliis program he coined the
new phrase “balanced abundance.'’ Un¬
less this is done, Mr. Wallace declared,
there is danger of the country “falling
into a pit of. scarcity economics.”
“In 1933,” the report continues, ‘'ag¬
riculture had enormous surpluses of
wheat, cotton, tobacco, and hog prod¬
ucts, which had accumulated as a re¬
sult of war-time expansion, economic
nationalism, strangled foreign trade.
and reduced domestic consumption.
I'rices had fallen to 50 per cent of
tlieir 1929 level. Merely to avert far®
ruin it was imperative to eliminate the
surpluses.
“As matters then stood, production
control seemed to he synonymous with
crop production. But it was never
contemplated that reduction once start¬
ed should lie continued indefinitely.
It would be a serious mistake to reduce
farm production constantly. Such a
course would raise prices temporarily,
but w T ould restrict consumption, and
create new farm competition at home
and abroad.”
Mr. Wallace added that it is neces¬
sary to recognize that crop control in¬
volves a restriction of agricultural pro¬
duction and declared that the only al¬
ternative is a recovery in agricultural
exports. achieved,” he
