American Press Comment
(Received 1.30 p.m!) NEW YORK. April 15,
The Washington correspondent of the “New York Times” says that- most of the House of Representatives and the Senate leaders joined in commending the programme, though two of the foremost opponents of the Reorganisation Bill, Messrs Byrd and O’Connor, outspokenly attack it as wasteful. Senator Borah endorsed the relief proposals, but criticised the spending.
The “New York Times,” in a leader, says: “Once more the Roosevelt Administration has chosen to pour down water into the well, instead of mending the pump. The Administration has once more confused cause and effect. “This confusion, if persisted in, promises to lead to a tragic end.” The New York “Herald-Tribune” says: “The President has ceased to lead except in the field of spending. How this vast Inflation is to effect lasting betterment there Is not even an effort to suggest. Thus for real measures of recovery, the country must look to Congress."
