Further more, while the British Government and press maintained outwardly ﬂn uncompromising at- titude toward the Soviet Govern- ment, the enrbargo, would be a double-edged weapon and both countries, 1t was indicated, would seek means of escaping the effects of the boycott.

He appeared to have won com- mand of the situation with his moves for inﬂation that. will res- pond to control and place within the power of the government a counter-deflation programme. I

Senator '1‘1'iomas, Qklnhomo Dem- ocrat, leading advocate of broad currency expansion, revised his In- flation B111 after conference with the President and drafted ft to give to the chief executive the power lie deems necessary to put hLs pro- gramme into effect.

The Thomas proposal undoubted- ly will be employed as the basis for the administration legislation. Hts new Bill glvcs thtfPresldcnt broad discretionary power to do several things, including expansion of cur- rency, the lowering of the gold con- tent of the dollar, the creation of a dollnrstoblllzatlon Board and the arrangement for increased use of silver through international agree- ment.

The startling Roosevelt pro- gramme almost completely distract- ed the attention of Congress. The Senate ploddcd ahead with the Farm Commodity Bill while the House stood in recess.

A veritable wave of support and enthusiasm for the presidential plans came from Capitol Hill and particularly from the inflatlonlst group. ‘

Late 1n the day a delegation from the House called at the White House and arranged for o. meeting tomor- row to promise support for the Pres- ident. In this group were the infla- tion leaders including representa- tlvcs Patmim of Texas; Scnigham, of Nevada, Rankin of Mississippi; Cross, Dies, McFarlime and Welde- man of Texas", Knute Hill of Wash- ington, and Ficsfnger of Ohio, all of them Democrats.

On the Senate floor the veteran Fletcher of ﬂorlda, Chairman o! the Banking Committee, hailed the cause of "controlled inflation" as a necessary step with international action to stabilize currencies and raise commodity prices.

"What ls ifeeded," sold Fletcher, "is not so much more money, as 1n- creased velocity 1n its movement. What appears to be 1n circulation is‘ not really circulating. '

Many propositions are in mind. If. was pictured today at the White House 11s a football game with Roosevelt as tho quarterback. Sev- eral plays are in the bug but until the effect of one is realized it is not. certain what the next one will be. Aware of the probable effect; on the bond market of the drastic steps immediately required to bring about controlled inflation, the administra- tion has virtually abandoned for the time being the long time public works programme, which would have to be financed by bonds.

Instead, attention is going to be focused on providing jobs between now and next Spring. This public improvement plan would not. neces- surlaly involve a huge bond issue but 1t will be centred at the some time on providing immediate jobs.

In withdrawing the gold support o! the American dollar 1n foreign exchanges, Mr. Roosevelt regarded the move as one calculated to 1m- prove American commodity prices and to put this nation fn the some position as the other countries which have depreciated their cur- rencies by going off the gold stand- ard.

This, of course, put: him in a more strategic position to bargain for the return to u revised gold standard which he has in mind.
