Washington, Apr. 19.
ESPITE denials, it is persistently affirmed that Mr. John Nance Garner, Vice-President of the United States, is objecting to Mr. Roosevelt's spending programme.
This is emphasized in usually well-informed quarters as boding ill for the Administration.
Although Mr. Garner.has fought for all the President's objectives for the last five years, he has never been a "New Dealer" but really belongs to the Conservative Southern Democrats, who have recently done much to oppose the President.
If the Vice-President joined this bloc, not only would the Republicans, who are opposing the President's spending programme, be encouraged to more and more strenuous opposition, but the Democrats themselves might split.
