...League has gone, the Treaty with it, Germany is on the road back, (with an obvious goal,) and internally France is weakened by uncertainly--the stage could not better be set for a fascist coup d'etat, the unification of the State, and the subsequent elimination of the "internationalist disturbers"; the socialists and communists. The last riots on the boulevards were the preliminaries to a real bout. The parties involved have had a taste of direct action; they will be anxious to rectify their tactical mistakes and recapture lost opportunities. And in the end, when France is psychologically ready...
...does not quite phrase one of the fundamental criticisms of the Roosevelt administration which is sharply illumined by the Hull Moley duel. Mr. Roosevelt has shown us respect for the principles of hierarchical distribution of power and immediate responsibility of higher officers. Putting the nationalist Moley under the internationalist Hull was an open invitation to trouble. In other departments, the President's desire for centralization through the personal listening posts has led to difficulty as Lindley remarks...
...Administration, the Assistant Secretary, as the President's personal representative in the State Department, far outshone the Secretary in the headlines ; how Dr. Moley called at the White House morning, noon & night, was a member of the exclusive Roosevelt bedside Cabinet; how he, an economic nationalist, clashed with internationalist Secretary Hull before, during and after the World Economic Conference, to which Moley's visit as the President's "messenger boy" was pompously over publicized. Back in the U. S. Dr. Moley discovered that his conspicuousness had produced a sour public effect. No longer was he welcomed...
...President and his ranking Cabinet officer met at Hyde Park for the first time since that May day on which Secretary Hull, as chairman of the U. S. Delegation, sailed away so hopefully for London. Then as an internationalist he was about to have his innings. But the President's long-range handling of the Conference, his refusal to consider currency stabilization, his dispatch of Assistant Secretary of State Moley to London all combined to lacerate Secretary Hull's feelings and start reports of his resignation. The Conference had failed and the President's nationalist policy...
Secretary Hull's mollification was made easier for the President by the temporary-transfer, three days prior, of Dr. Moley from the State Department to the Justice Department. Internationalist Hull and Nationalist Moley have made poor bedfellows at the State Department. President Roosevelt turned his chief Brain Truster over to Attorney General Cummings for a month to conduct a survey of crime in general, kidnapping and racketeering in particular. Dr. Moley's new assignment was entirely logical inasmuch as he had made his principal pre-election reputation as a crime researcher in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri...
