Hastens gladly to extend.

Future fear or old regret;

EYES OF NATION
ON PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Cites Heavy VOL
ume of Mail at White
House.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
avalanche of mail received at the
White House-totaling 100000 let
ters and packages since March a
is viewed by President Roosevelt as
proof of an awakened interest by
the people in government, his friends
said today.
Mr.. Roosevelt was interested in
tensely in recapitulation of figures
showing the daily and monthly re-
ceipts of mail and kilograms since
his Inauguration. December, with
a daily average of 1900 letters and
packages, leads all the previous
months of the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
The survey showed that since in
auguration day 100000 kilograms
have been received at the White
House. OF this number, $4,000 came
this month. The daily mail by
months was:
March, 5000; April, 4,5Oo; May,
$500; June, $500; July, 1000;
August, 1,50O; September, 1000; Oc-
tober, 5000; November, 5000, and
December, $4,000.
The receipt of such heavy mail
requires a staff of dozens of en-
ployes to answer and file the cor
respondence. The mail is heaviest
after Mr.. Roosevelt's periodic mes
sages to the nation.

route to Washington with Mrs.
Garner, genially submitted to an
interview and characteristically left
town without saying much of any,
thing.
He had mo thoughts" about in

said, and when asked whether he
liked being President better
than his former post OF Speaker
of the house, he replied:
Il could have told you something
then, for I knew what was going
on. But I don't now. However,
after being in Washington a few
days, I may get the slant of things
and might be able to talk-but not
for publication. My chief does that
now"
He was reminded that the last
time he was here he predicted the
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment.
"And I was right" he replied
vigorously. It should have known
something about it after being in
Washington for forty years. But
now-well, am not supposed to
make any predictions. I am only
supposed to preside over the senate
and vote when there's a tie, and
nobody knows when thereu be a
