Administration spokesmen—«apee> iiilv the Presld»nt — have oftan drawn an analogy between War and Depresiion Nlneteeii-seventeen and 1933, they believe, presented similar srave problems that had to ba ;:roniptly met with similar remedies.
There Is likewise a, practical an- ilogy between the expansion of the Federal government In war tlmo and its expansion during depresal(m. An enlightening comparison Is pub¬ ll ¦,'i':'d in a recent i.ssue of the U. 8.

When America entered the war tha :iational debt wa^ $1,225,000,000— $12 per capita. When the war was over in In 1919. tiie debt had risen to $25 482.000 000 -$240 per capita.
When America experienced Its last boom year, 1929, t.he national debt wa. a little less than $17,000,000,000 —$13^ per capita. In 1937. with re- co\ery at an advanced stage, the debt has increased $11.500 000.000, t3 $37 OO0.0O0.0O0-$277 per capita.
Tairteen new major departments '.vere created in 1917 and 191t—of '.vi.icii some of tiie most Important were the Alien Proijerly Custodian, -eene of grave post-war scandals; the American Relief Administration, the Railroad Administration, the War Finance Administration, tbe War Industries Board and the Vet¬ erans' Administration. As soon at the war was over, ,liquidation of tiiese bureaus began. Today only one. the Veterans' Administration. remains.
During depression., the Adminis- traiijn created over twice as many tiew major bureaus as were created In war time The.se include the AAA, the CCC, the Electric Home and Far.Ti Authority, the Pederal De¬ posits Insurance Corporation, the Farm Credit Administration, the TVA, t..e WPA. etc. And—though basiness activity has recently approximated boom levels in many lines—there seems to be no move on foot to elim¬ inate bureaus. To the contrary, as the News says, Mo.st depression- born agenclei; are regarded by ob- ervers as permanent. ..." Thua, 'ivhere the war bureau-, were created and designed to meet an emergency, and were abolljhed as soon as the emergency pavs^d. most of the de- prrs-icn-made bureaus have appar¬ ent!'.- become an established part of the government
Tiiere has been anotlvt-r vital change In the character of govern¬ ment bureaus. Firmer bureaus, such as those of w ir period, were e-tablishcd by Congress and were r.-iponsible to Congre.ss and the Ek- eculive branch. Many of the new bureaus are corporations, Incorpor¬ ated under the laws of Delaware. Tliey are not accountable to Con¬ gress. This was pointed out by the President's Committee on Oovern- nvir. Reorganization when l: said: The novel elements in this (pres¬ ent I period are the extended use of the corporate form and Introduc¬ tion of the 'Autliority . . . There are now over 100 separately organ¬ ized establishment- and agencies pre-umably reporting to the Presi¬ dent"
Tiie number of employes added to government payrolls In the war and depre>slon periods Is more difBcult to adequately compare. Civil Service figures are available—in 1918 there were 917.000 of these workers, as again.-t 438.000 in 1916; and in 1937 •ill-re were 857000. a.s against 559,- "".» Ill 1929 However, a very large proptrtion of the employes of the niployes of the new bureaas. partlc- tiliriv the incorporated ones do not req'iire Civil Service status, and no aut lorltalive cen.sus of their num¬ ber is available.
Tliesp facls indicate the reasons back of the de.nands for reorgani¬ zation of government bureaus. How¬ ever, there are .several strongly op¬ posed schools of thought on the .sub¬ ject :if how reorganization .should be accomplished. Under the Presl- dent'i plan, the dominance of the Executive over both new and old bureaus would l>e Increaaed. and some of the Independent bureaus, such as the Radij CommLssion, the ICC and the Federal Trade Commis¬ .sion, would be brought under Presi¬ dential control Otlier advocates of reorganization are against this ex- ten.don of Executive autliority, and want a form of reoganlzatlon that wUl maintain tne independence of the independent bureau-s, and Will consolidate other bureaus under Congre.sslonal control.
Biggest political Job in the U. 8. IS the Presidency, Second blggesti many think, Is Mayor of New York. Tliat is why New York mayorallty conte.st Ls an event of national aig¬ nlflcance and Interest,
The recent election proved two things-one. New York voters still Uke fhe New Deal—both Democratic candidate Mahoney and Republican candldaie La Ouardia supported It* principles Second, Tammany la very much on the skids—it threw Ita whole weight behind Senator Cope- land, whu ran In both primarlet, and he was badly beaten In «MSh.
The Democratic maehlne U Ma* honey's biggest asset. La OuartflA has no m.ichlne—but he la a ful, vote-getting pemonality. made a remarkable record for at' flclency and honesty as Mayor, has practically aU the New ffMk newspaper  support.
