George Peak, the farm adminis
trator. rather favored a modified
equalization fee arrangement, and
there was a period when it ap
peared that Tagwell might become
as much a storm center, in the
Agriculture Department as Moley
was in the State Department. But
eventually he won over the oppo
sition, and comparative peace fol
lowed.
SOME FIT, SOME DON’T
Some others—particularly thase
assigned to think up new ideas for
the treasury—have not made their
places so readily. One professor
was ejected summarily from a
confidential conference of hostile
treasury officials.
When Professors Warren and
Rogers were detailed by the White
House to study the currency sit
uation. a high Treasury officer
told inquirers:
“One of them I never heard of,
and the other is really quite an
authority on dairy matters.”
The officer devoted the better
part of two days to finding out
who these professors were and
what they vere up to.
But unlike Moley and Tugwell,
Warren and Rogers never project
ed themselves into administrative
matters. They and various others
of the lesser professorial lights
have been gravitating in the sta
tistical and research end of the
government, leaving public policy
to the non-professors. Perhaps
this may forecast the final solu
tion of the problem.
