ADMINISTRATION SPOKESMAN USING NEW
EINSTEIN THEORY TO EXPLAIN POLITICS
(By Byron Price)
Something akin to the Einstein theory has been evolved
by various administration spokesmen to explain what’s what
about current political complexities.
There is such a thing as relativity in politics, it is con
tended, as well as in science; and it is added that faulty un
derstanding of relative values often leads to what might
be called political optical illusions.
For instance many public statements have been made to
the effect that Mr. Roosevelt veered a good many degrees
to the left after he took office and that he now is sliding
back several miles to the right.
Mr. Roosevelt himself denies this. His thesis is, in ef
fect, that the administration has been in exactly the same
spot all along; that it only seems further to the right just
now because the political back-drop of public sentiment
took such a violent lurch to the left in the elections.
It is easy to see the difficulty of grappling with such a
supposition asthat, of analyzing it accurately and decid
ing definitely whether it is sound or not.
Things are so mixed up all ’round and still are moving
so rapidly in so many directions, that it 'is hard to tell what
figures in the foreground are really standing still while the
landscape revolves around them.
Sometimes public men have thought they were stand
ing still when actually they were not. In the present dis
ordered state of politics, it would be a very accomplished
engineer who could find a fixed point from which latitude
and longitude could be measured.
Perhaps any real map-making may have to be postponed
until the present gyrations cease. Some day historians may
be able to determine just what dislocations did take place
during the earthquake. j
Take the case of the govrenment’s titular second-in-com-1
mand, Vice-President Garner.
It is well known that in the 1932 campaign there were
those who urged that he be muzzled because of his suspect
ed radicalism. In the 1934 campaign, it was charged he
kept silent because he was more conservative than his par
ty. Actually, did he or the party change? j
Or the case of that other reputed second-in-command,
Donald Richberg.
Is he, ir is he not, in his present role of placator of big
business, precisely the same Richberg who so recently was
fighting valiantly for the cause of- the working man, >and
doing so much to increase the power and prestige of or
ganized labor?
Citations could be multiplied without limit, in both
political parties.
Witness Herbert Hoover, regarded in 1928 as so unorth
odox that he had to whip the republican old guard to get
the presidential nomination.
Witness up-from-the-city-streets A1 Smith, now a pill
ar of the American Liberty League.
There are those who believe some of these situations

would stump even Mr. Einstein. One certain thing is that
it all is very confusing to the layman and hard on the eye
sight.
When local citizens get aroused to activity and take an
active part in the making of better business and a better
city, they will make their city forge ahead by leaps and
bounds.
They will make their city a progressive city by linking
accomplishments with the boosting.
Fellowship in business does much to make better busi
ness, and better business builds a city.
