The investigation, of course, like a lot of others staged recCenisy by the subservient congress, was for political effect only. It was intended to relieve the Townsend pressure. Instead of that, by Dr. Townsend’s one man rebellion, the pressure was redoubled. To try him before the House for contempt, which is honestly shared by. millions . of other citizens, will. delay adjournBent and martyrize.the venerable visionary. and to try him in _ the but will destroy all effect such a trial might have on. the fortunes: of House candidates who seek re-elecAnd what do the revefations made by the Bell. committee, thus far, amount to? The committee ‘has discovered in brief, that Dr. Townsend and some of his very practical minded aids have been boondoggling at the expense of the legions’ of dime and nickel adherents. This for Dr. Townsend of course is a monstrous crime. The fact that the Federal government has frittered many a million (witness the Passamaquoddy tide harnessing project and the Florida ship canal) and has spent money ‘with both hands (PWA and WPA) to insure another four year tenure for deserving Democrats, does not excuse Dr. Townsend in the eyes of his righteous investigators for havjing diverted a few thousand dollars . from the river of small change into. the pockets of himself and his aids. . The only worth while investiga. tion of Dr. Townsend and what he . does with all the money contribut. ed by his deluded following, would . be one instituted and conducted by . his own supporters. But so far from . any businesslike desire to know . what becomes of their ownmonéy, . “e's supporters rather tend to deify. t he old doctor. Already -they link his name with that of Washington and) Lincoln, and if the Bell Committee persecution, they will presently find the Townsendites investing him with the robes and halo of one of the saints in glory. This Congress has done many things to make. itself ridiculous. in the eyes of the American people. It has been. subservient, answering the Farley whip cracking with abject bootlicking. It has been cowardly, passing act after act to pacify the farmers, the veterans and other minority groups. Of relief money spent in the South, the solid Democratic South, it has spent 93 per cent of Federal funds, and in the New England states with twice the population and the home of the Black Republicans the Federal contribution has been 52 per cent. In effect Congress has abdicated and the country is being governed from the post office building and the White House. But this Townsend investigating committee is the slap stick comedian es that Huey Long had lived: to see it and comment on it in his own peculiar way. The fact that the committee takes itself seriously adds to the national hilarity, or, as the case may be, disgust. A committee of this~kind could only be born of a futile, srubber-stamping aggregation whose only diversion in its dull servitude is the indoor sport of baiting and bedeviling their betters.
