are those who have looked for it to be
who do not for one moment
consider the vastness of the task of
accomplishing these changes. We can
have confidence in the President. He is q
good and strong man. am constantly
astonished in my contact " tn him by his
wide and intimate knowledge of every
subject with which he has to deal. ven-

the work of the departments and Of the
whole system and machinery OF our gov

casion l went to see him about an

impression that l have felt the
slightest resentment at Mr. Jonas'
