dinners. It is at these affairs
that the Democratic leaders as
semble to discuss party matters.
According to well informed Dem
ocratic leaders, Madison Square
Garden convention left sharp diff
ferences which must be wiped out
in the, interest of party solidarity.
Only the spirit Of forbearance
the old game of give-and-take,
can patch up factional rifles.
1t seems logical that COM
plete reorganization of the COM
mittees will be brought about as
the campaigns for congressional
office approach. With COM
plete turnover in the House and
a third of the Senate up for re-
election two years hence. the
Democrats have an excellent
chance in the competition for
control of the legislative body.
1t all depends upon the history
of the Sixty-ninth Congress and
the performance of the present
Administration. Public opinion
which sways these affairs is as
variable and uncertain as the
weather.
Our international affairs have
taken on new aspect. The
President is apparently deter
mined to call a conference on the
limitation of arms. The attitude
of France has complicated the
situation somewhat. Late advices
from diplomatic channels indi-
Gates that the French will even
tually participate due more to
economic pressure than any other
cause. The United States holds
the purse strings and European
countries would probably find it
difficult to borrow if the Federal
government frowhed on their ne
gotiations. If you have ever
tried to extend your notes or
raise more money at the bank,
you will understand the need of
good will to the man with the
cash.
Just when peace had settled
over official Washington, another
investigation into the affairs of
the Shipping Board is in the of

the disposition of seven vessels
owned by the Shipping Board
and sold to the Dollar steamship
interests. The Pacific Mail com
