(Continued from Page 1)
He can issue three billion
Hollars in paper money with no
gold reserve behind it
He can decree the free and
unlimited coinage of silver,
and fix the ratio of the silver
dollar to gold at any propor-
tion he sees fit
"He can prescribe the regu-
lations under which gold can
; be owned, traded in, held or
■ exported.
- He can operate a “stabiliza-
, lion fund” of two billion dol-
lars in complete secrecy, be-
en? accountable to nobody for
its operations.
•He can suspend trading
any stock exchange for a pe-
riod of ninety days.
He can raise or lower by as
much as 50 per cent any tariff
'imposed by the United States
da goods imported from any
nation which enters into a
trade agreement with this
country.
He can spend practically at
his own discretion funds for
relief, farm benefits and other
similar projects, totaling more
than all previous Presidents
lumped together have ever
been authorized to spend.
There have been some talk
of the possibility that the
President would voluntarily
relinquish some of those broad
powers.
Some plan for turning relief
back to the states may be put
forward. In any event the ex-
pectation is that the new ap-
propriations for relief will be
rigidly apportioned for specific
purposes.
To Vote on Hopkins
There are expected to
echoes of the W. P. A. I
with their difficulties and get
at least sound advice. How
business men will get along
with Mr. Hopkins, and he with
business men, is still a ques-
tion.
Those who hold that his ap-
pointment is a good one point
out that he is personally closer
to Mr. Eoosevelt than any oth-
er man in Washington, and
that, the President will listen to
him when he tells him of the
troubles of business more than
be ever listened to Seecretary
Roper.
There is no doubt that those
who have business with the De-
partment of Commerce wili
find Secretary Hopkins an
. agreeable fellow, personally
likeable and genial in his con-

merce comes up for discussion.
That he will be confirmed is
generally believed. * It takes
only a majority of the Senate
to confirm a Cabinet officer,
and at most the members of
the Cabinet are merely the
President’s clerks, employed to
run the executive departments
according to his ideas.
In the ease of the Secretary
of State and some others. Cab-
inet officers are in line of suc-
cession to the Presidency in
case the President and the
Vice-President should both die
before their terms expire, but
the Secretary of Commerce is
not so eligible, so it makes lit-
tle difference, as most of Con-
gress sees it, who holds the
job.
The principal criticism of
Mr. Hopkins’ appointment is
that he has had no business
experience. His whole life
has been spent as a social
kind, and is the life of the
party on almost all social oc-
casions.
In Patterson’* Hands
When it comes to running
the Department of Commerce,
that job will be mainly in the
hands of Assistant Secretary
Patterson, an able man who
has Seen the actual executive
for a long time.
Washington is still trying to
figure out just how much the
United States got out of the
Loud Speakers In Congress
It is interesting, though
perhaps not important, to
learn that the House of Repre-
sentatives in Washington has
been equipped with ioud
speakers. The general idea
has been that Congress had
plenty of loud speakers al-
ready.
Careful re-reading of the
news item about the new
machines limit the range of
members' voices to the ears of
other members there is noth-
ing for the rest of us to worry
about.
We are pleased to learn that
the loud speaker system has
no radio attachment. The pro-
posal to broadcast the pro-
ceedings of_pongress was voted
down because of the impossi-
bility of providing facilities
for the 435 members who
would all want to make
speeches at the same time. So
long as their only audience is
within the four walls of the
House of Representatives there
13 so particular incentive to
oratory other than the inher-
ent urge which inhabits every
legislator’s breast.
