Why Retard Recovery
By Meddling Abroad?
By James T. Williams, T.

Whether Congress adj
journs early in June or re-
mains in session indefinitely
is a decision that lies with
the President. 1t may turn
out to be the most impor-
tant decision which Mr..
Roosevelt will face in the
presidency.
The Importance Of this de-
cision arises from the pos
sibility that it may deter
mine the ultimate success
of the Administration. Every
true American wishes the
Roosevelt administration to
succeed because every Amer
lean home will share in such
a triumph.
Mr.. Roosevelt is looking
into the face Of a decision
therefore that will affect
not only the President and
the Congress but also the
whole American family that
is the Nation.
And the decision before
the President is whether to
stand by the national pro-
gram proclaimed in his in
augural address to establish
national recovery" On a
permanent foundation by
"putting our own national
house in order" before un-
dertaking an international
program to rehabilitate Eu-
rope and reorpanize the
world.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

when 1t comes to a struggle
between his gustatory appetites
and his romantic warnings, it's
always safe to slip a scallion
into the salad.
Sometimes a modern girl de-
cides to remain a spinster for
a few years longer, because she
prefers the irregular presence of
a lover to the regular absence
of a husband.
Marriage used to be the
period at the end of courtship
days; now, it is merely the
dash between divorces. Many
a girl wonders, while she is
making the frillies for her
hope chest, what the well
dressed grass-widow will be wear
ing, next season.
The hard-boiled bachelor, who
tries to convince a girl that
marriage is "all a mistake" is

She Wants a Change

She Wants q Change
Be sensible, old Man, when
your wife says she'd like to
make a trip, alone, to visit rela-
tives or friends, or places of in
terest to her.
Sure she likes her home, and
she is not tired Of you-don't
think it.
But she wants a little change
from her regular routine.
Shed like to be free a while,
to go out and do as she pleases,
and that does not mean be in
diScreet-not at all.
You often, in season, arrange
hunting or fishing trips without
her.
But not because your wife
has become tiresome to you.
Why don't you see your wife
wishes for a little visit with
friends in the same light as
your hunting or fishing trips?
The Washington times., 1933-05-09

chance a girl gets to say mo"
to a man, these days, is when
he comes to the door and tries
to sell her a brush.
The biggest question for a
marrying girl to decide is
whether she wants the kind of
husband who exclaims, mi
gosh, it's late!" when the clock
points to ten-thirty, or the
kind who carols, "Oh, the
nights young, yeti" when It
points to midnight.
One of the decisions with
which a middle-aged Lothario
kids himself is that it will
keep him feeling younger to
be a young girls Daddy"
than to be on old girls prince
Charming"
This is the time of year
when a man has to make the
narrowing choice between young
onions and young love. But

Domestic Problems
Come First

In his inspiring inaugural
Mr.. Roosevelt defended his
program for national re-
covery'' upon the ground
that "the emergency at
home" cannot wait upon the
solution of international
problems. While recogniz-
ing the desirability of as
sisting in international eco
nomic adjustment, he ex-
pressed the very positive
opinion that our international
trade relations ARE in point
of time and necessity secon-
Diary to the establishment
of a sound national econ
omy."
The response of the Con-
gress and the country to
this appeal to the American
spirit has been widespread.
Congress has given the Pres
ident greater powers than it
has ever given in time Of
peace to any one OF his
nredeceSsOrS. These powers
were given him to deal with
1.-THE emergency at home.
Many Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress have
had misgivings about the
surrender of so much power
to any President in peace
time.
If Mr.. Roosevelt seeks
the same unprecedented
powers to deal with Euro
pean affairs that Congress
has given him to meet the
emergency at home the in
dications are that he will
encounter a firm and con-
scientious opposition, t h e
strength Of which even his
most expert economic adj
wiser does not yet realize.

That Way
Lies Trouble

Giving the President al
most supreme power to es-
tablish national recovery"
by putting people to work,
purging the banking system,
increasing the purchasing
power Of the people, cutting
Federal expenditures, reor-
ganizing executive agencies,
preventing further loss
through foreclosure of our
small homes and farms, con-
solidating the railroads, reg
ulating production in the in
terest of the national well
fare, and providing for IAN
adequate but sound cur
rency" is a serious surren-
der for Congress to make.
Giving the President such
supreme power to cancel
Europe's war debts to the
United States, wipe out pro-
tective tariffs, involve this
country in security pacts
and surrender other demands
that our European debtors
are making or preparing to
make would be, in the opin-
ion of a representative group

surrender.

Miss Fuller, however, although un-
seen by this department, is nevertheless
the most striking example of a recent

what an influence She has had even in
this metropolis Known in Manhattan
as a shrewd and moving actress who
wrung many a heart-string and made
glad many wizened soul, she has, in
her first screen appearance, apparently
done the same thing all over again.
Then, too. she is being groomed for
better things. Said Frank Pope, Tom
Bailey's publicity henchman: She is

why"
