CITY TAILORS
Less than two weeks ago a Con-
gress, of which all members of the
House aiyl one-third the membership
of the Senate were fresh from the
people, assembled up on Capitol Hill.
Observing political analysts predicted
and conditions pointed to the conclu-
sion that we were about to witness
one of the most—if not the most—
weighty and important sessions of
Congress in the history of our Gov-
ernment. Momentous actions by the
Administration during the past year
under delegated powers were booked
for approval and (he eguivalent of a
vote of confidence—in spite of far
from proven efficacy and evidence of
some reactionary tendencies—prelim-
inary to the delegation of new and
farther reaching powers. Billions
upon billions of dollars have had to
be raised and provision made for
their effective disbursement. From
the minority element, of course, was
expected militant objection. The ma-
jority element was just about as har-
monious as that famed pair of Kil-
Kenny cats. Fireworks aplenty were
looked for—a display of fireworks in
comparison with which Mr. Payne's
most elaborate exhibition would fade
into insignificance.
Just now the seers and soothsayers
are flabbergasted. There has been no
anticipated display of fireworks. Mrs.
Astorbilt's Tuesday pink teas would
be sanguinary riots with assemblages
of the 74th Congress to date. Even
the personally delivered President's
message failed to create a noticeable
ripple of excitement. There was not
even the excuse of organization. The
Senate required no organization, since
Vice President Garner continued to
preside. The Speakership of the
House, by definite prearrangement,
went to Joseph W. Byrnes, of Ten-
nessee, practically without opposition.
The day before convening a caucus
of the House Democrats set up ma-
chinery which should function in re-
sponse to the wishes of the Adminis-
tration. The Senate leadership was
likewise in sympathy.
Of course, there were a few high
lights, but Congress itself was not
responsible for them. The Supreme
Court threw a small left-handed mon-
key wrench into the NRA machine
when it served notice that Congress
must still continue to do the legis-
lating for the American people; that
laws must still be made in conformity
with the Constitution and not by the
Chief Executive or any of the agen-
cies of the Executive which may be
set up. The opinion of the court in
the oil cases is salutary. It comes
at a time of widespread belief that
Congress had delegated, and probably
would continue to delegate, many of
its powers to the Executive, including
its law-making powers. An executive
authority that also legislates smacks
of dictatorship.
And then, there "busted" into the
Senate at the earliest possible mo-
ment, the Kingfish—not the prototype
of the Amos 'n Andy broadcast, but
that harlesquinesque, pseudonymous
kingfish from the delta at the mouth
of the Mississippi. The forward end
of the "Long and short of it" had
proclaimed from far-off New Orleans
his intention to. address the Senate
on the patronage issue in Louisiana
between him and the administration.
But it is more and more evident in
Washington that many Democrats
feel he is getting ready to pounce
upon their party and absorb all or a
large part of it in 1936, and they
would like to hang a bell, or prefer-
ably a can, upon the Senator to pro-
tect their eleclorial votes. This may
seem in the East a fantastic worry.
But it is real enough.
What a very prominent Democratic
Senator said after dinner the other
night represents the general attitude
of his colleagues toward Senator
Long:
"He is brilliant and dangerous. He
is industrious and has much capacity.
The depression has increased radical-
ism in this country. Nobody knows
how much. Any attempt to squelch
him adds to his foundations. We are
oblidged to propose and accept many
things in the New Deal that other-
wise we would not because we must
Írevent a union of discontent around
im. The President is the only hope
of the conservatives and liberals; if
his program is restricted, the answer
may be Huey Long. «
"Now, in the names of all the
gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our
Caesar feed,
That he has grown so great?"
