Though beset with many troubles,

fraught4 with strange elements, the
Presiderkp. OF the United States today

dependents and Progressives finds
himself in a position where there is
no incentive for him to be mindful Of
politics, as politics affects him. He
cannot be President again. He has
attained the highest honor possible
He has served his country well. He
can continue such service, and even
improve upon it because of the chang
ed political status. He is stronger
today than when he took office. for
he has larger following He is freer
today because OF that fact. His posi-
ton is one of many troubles, as we
said, but one of vastest possibilities.

to steer straight ahead toward goals
