The last week las not been an Ca
pecially good one for Robcson, NJ Ilier
House acquitted itself by practically
sitting down on ono or iva Of lIs
pet schemes especially the ravy re-
construction job. There would not
be so much objection TO tho Navy

nppropriated for that purpose would
be honestly expended. All Amrri-
cans feel more or less ashamed Of tho
position we occupy among the Ma
non as a mnratime power. AMI would
be willing 10 see II somewhat i'm

all other things combined and ihere
is feeling thai heOis not the proper
person 10 manipulate the work of
