Every    President, ' aiiWMtll    IS
American political tradlUaa, Is | a  "congressional honeymoao" Is. for a certain period ot UaM. I 3r  short  as  trie  case may kt, suggestions and requests of ' are received with almost appeal and arc enacted Into law. "s faced by no major deteetlOM I his party ranks, and his floar Uutmn need give but little tSort to Ing "the boys In line."
In our recent history, ttw honeymoon was that ef Hoover, who had to daal wtlb • hostile Congress within two iraags af'^r his election—a ctreuautSBSS that had much to do With hiB cruihing defeat when he ras for reelection.
Longest honeymoon has baaa that of President Roosevelt. For fasr years, every major policy bt a4> vocated was approved with a mloU mum of debate. He recelvtd as set-back^ fro.Ti Congress. In auch matters a^ disbursement ot govarn* ment money, he was given almoat a free hand He had written by hla advisors, sent them to Congress and saw them made ints law within • few days. Never was the authorttf of the Executive so broadened.
To say that this honeymoon la now over is simply to state an Ob* vioos fact, apparent to both tbO friends and opponents ot the Nov Deal. Cause of the split was tha Court Bill UUirrate eSecM of tta* .split are today the subject tor gutw> Ing, forecasting and editoriallzlnf bf everyone in the country who takta an Interest in politics.
The death of Senator Robinson— who. through his great peraooal popularity, ability and nuatcry at the complicated parllmentary t«cb- nique. was able to keep the Stnata runnlni; like a well-oiled Aimlnti- tratlon machine for four years—waa a serious blow to the Prtildant But the seeds of discontent havt been brewing for a long timt. had Mr. Robinson secured tht age of the Court Bill, which Is tS« tremely doubtful, the broach ba* tween Congress and the Whlta House would inevitably have wldtn* ed. Faced with no eHoetlvt Ka* pubUcan opposition, the overwholm* ing Democratic majority haa batB gradually breaking Into a oumbar ot oppoaed, restive factlooa.
The upshot ot this, as tht Waah« ington columnists have been wrttiot. Is clear. The Court Bill—parhapa the most Important piece of lofla* lation proposed by the AdaUaittrs* tion—Is definitely dead. Ihtrt «U1 be no Increase in Supreme Court membership no proctor, and no la* j crease in the membership of tha lower Federal courts unleas a delblUa need tor Judges is shown. It la probable that a bill will be offeraS whereby the proyress ot casta ia* volving Constitutional queatloaa from District Courts to the Supreaw Court, will be expedited, and tha Attorney Oeneral will be empowerad to appear in lower court cases whaa the constitutionality of a Federal law is que.stloned These minor re¬ forms have long been advocated by conservatives and liberals alilce, and will not stir opposition
Futhermore. the other 'must' bills on the Administration's flve-porit I legislative program fur this session are definitely m danger—the chances. -s.iy tae expert.-, are against then passing. The-c*bills would fix mln- •niuiii wages ai.d maximum hours tor ir.du-Ty in Inter^tat commerce; rt* organiae the government d'part- ments and bureau^; provide for iow- cost housing: plug up loopholes In the tax laws, and set u,i a i«ew farm plan, based on the "ever nor¬ mal granary." Potent remark came recently from Repre.seniative Wood* rum. a strong Whi"./e Hou-.e adherent, who said that if the AdminUtratkm insisted on pa.s.smg an ambitious legislative program such as Uils, Congress will still be here when the frost i.s on the pumpkin." The revolt, in brief, ha^ reached a hifhly advanced .stage.
Tlie eflect..- of this on the country ire gradually becoming clear Krst, the chances are st.'ongly again;, any addition.il experimental legislation" on a wide scale Second, the poMi* bihty of a spht m I>>mocratic ranks, that will result In a new party, with tlie conservative Southern Doir.c- crats Joining witii the Republicans, becomes corustantly greater Third, the President's power and hold orer Congress is waning Fourth, as re- .'»n: -urveys. such as that made by F^r::ine indicate, the New Deal is slipping in public esteem, even though Mr Roosevelt, as a persoa* aUty. still command', the admlra* tion of million^ ot voters.
Thi^ is all true, whether Congest adjourns tomorrow or neat year Tlie attitude of the President, ap* parf-ntlv i<: that he will conttaae to in.sist on approval of his Will oppose. Indirectly, the ation of Drnnocrats who are him such as Van Kuys and Wheelar. Not sirKte the war has the polttttal •situation been so chaotic full of d.mamite.
