Farley Would
Be Better Off
In An Industry
V' —
By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. —Jim
Farley’s reported decision to quit
the government and become an
•economic nobleman, if not quite
a royalist, ought to rescue him
from a host of pangs.
The years of the open hand
when Farley was the lord high
dispenser of federal patronage
were pleasant years for a man of
his disposition. To the loyal par
ty servants who helped him make
the party great, he could be lib
eral without stint, for not in his
tory was there such a prolonged
period of the bulging purse.
But the times have changed and
the hand that fed the patronage
lions must now beat them back.
Most of the pie is gone and the
man who dispenses what is left
for the next three or four years
will have to say “No'’ more often
than “Yes.”
Farley may have the ability to
say “No’’ and make 'em like it,
but not in recent years has he
had much experience along that
line.
Rising Value
A stack of reasons could be giv.
en for Farley's decision to leave
as early as possible to become
(as report had it) the president
of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Com
pany. Farley may never have
measured them all out in his mind
in deciding this was the time to
go, but his decision turns the
light on them, regardless.
First off, his $12,000 a year job
as postmaster general isn’t
money for the new Jim Farley.
Like many another public ser
vant. his public life has enhanc
ed his value in the private swirl.
It isn't to be denied that Far- j
ley was doing fair to middling in j
the years immediately before he'
came into the public eye as nation
al Democratic chairman. New
York state chairman, and ultimate
ly as postmaster general. But it j
is not of record that he had at-!
tained such standing in the indust j
rial world that he was in line to I
head a major motor company, al-1
beit he was well known to be a
first line salesman.
Before his elevation to the cab
inet. he was New York state box
ing commissioner, a job he re- ;
cevied. by the way. from Gover- '
nor Al Smith upon the recom- j
mendaton of Jimmy Walker, ex :
mayor. That also was a public
office that helped build up the
service value of Jim Farley.
Farley has flung himself into1
public life with both zeal and
talent, but in return public life1
has not done badly by him.
There's 1940
A second reason for his pres
ent departure from public life is
that he isn’t adverse to more of
it. New York will elect a gover

nor next year, and Farley has
never indicated he would pass
(up a job like that just now.
Moreover, he is only 49 and
should need no telescope to see
i the presidential possibilities for
himself in 1940, especially if he
! should win the governorship
next year.
; And that raises a third point
j that may come into play in his
j stride from the mail pouches to
.the elegance of Pierce-Arrowdom.
,Genial Jim, the generous giver
j of patronage, is known and lov
jed by Democrats the nation over.
; But if Genial Jim should stay on
during the years of expected re
itrenchment and become Jim the
| denier, his lovability might be
! forgotten when time came in 19
140 to pick a man to save the
'game from the Tigers.
To Farley, life has been a con
i'stantly expanding universe, and
| if for a time he leaves a steadily
'shrinking patronage job to join
up w'ith a motor company it will
, be right in character.
