Political Fusion Hope to Avoid
Growing Danger in South Africa

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -
After trying both armed and political
warfare for more than SO years, the
English and Dutch in South Africa are
at present trying to find a basis of po-
l.tical fusion, and the experiment seems
10 be getting along very well. except, of
course. that there are a few people put
ting in a lot OF time trying 10 throw
sand in the wheels.
The war of 1881 was by no means the
first sign of this racial antagonism and
the war of l899-l902 was by no means
the last, but apart from these two flare
ups the war has been carried on with

movements, it had depended for its
growth, for its existence even. upon ex-
travagant promises of national indie

Then when it got into power it found
that fulillment of these promises was

A S the meeting of Congress ap-
~ proaches, January 3, there is
~ an outflow of query and sur
4 \ mise about what it will do.
Such comment is usual during
the approach of all Congresses; it is &C
CELEBRATED just now by What everybody
recognizes as unusual conditions.
Much of the speculation enters into
detail-what will Congress do about
and so on and so on. But there is
one broad question which underlies
and includes all others. This question
may be stated thus: What choice will
Congress make between continuing
personal government and going back
to government by Congress in the
usual way?
I say continuing personal govern
ment.' I do not say continuing the
dictatorship" What We are having is
not dictatorship, countless charges to
that effect Notwithstanding. One of
the least excusable examples of loose
use of the word dictator" came from
an exalted source, former Prime Minis
ter Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain,
who. implying that Mr. Roosevelt is
a dictator. said Il do not believe there
is any man who is good enough and
knows enough to exercise dictatorial
powers over free people
What we are having is not dictator
ship. We are still free people" Mr.
Baldwin, and We have made no de-
parture from our form of government.
Mr.. ROOSevelt'S Status.
What Congress did last Spring was
to transfer. strictly within constitu-
tional limits, an immense quantity OF
power to President Roosevelt to be used
within his discretion Mr.. Roosevelt
has been most meticulous to remain
within the limits of the powers granted
him and meticulous to remain not
only within the Constitution, but
within the laws on the statute books.
When he wished that the Government
should buy and sell gold at movable
price ranging from $3.50 an ounce
upward, the natural way would have
been to have the Treasury buy the
gold-the Treasury has been the gold
purchasing fundamentally of the Gov
eminent for a century. But there was
found among the statutes a law re-
quiring the Treasury to buy gold at
the old price, $20.67 an ounce. To
avoid collision with that law. Mr..
Roosevelt and his advisers devoted time
and ingenuity, finally deciding to have

A snappy event closed the past week
in Washington, society in all its varied
phases meeting on common footing at
the National Won1en's Country Club
for gala day, as they termed 1t, with
the Girl Scouts. AS the Red Cross
claims the Chief Executive as the
commander in chief of its organization,
20 the Girl Scouts automatically endow
the wife Of the President with the
same exalted compliment, and one Of
the most interested persons In the ar
rangements and execution of the days
events yesterday was Mrs. Roosevelt.
Back and forth from New York, down
Into the historic environs Of Virginia,
over to Annapolis, here. there and
everywhere, went our First Lady,
emerging from each trip as fresh,
buoyant and good natured as when she
started. A dignifled ceremony was that
at the Washington College of Law
where there was conferred upon her
the honorary degree of doctor of laws,
and now word comes that Mrs. Roose-
welt has accepted the post OF honorary
president of the George washington
Memorial Association, fact that sug-
gests and revives the dream of Mrs.
Henry F. Dimock who over a long
space of years conscientiously worked
for such a memorial. She got no
farther than substantial foundation
at the corner OF Sixth street and Con-
stitution avenue, but with the energy
OF Mrs. Roosevelt directed along that
line, Mrs. Dimock's vision may yet be
realized.
Mrs. Roosevelt is to hop off" today
In an airplane for the Pacific Coast
to visit her son, Elliot Roosevelt, who,
at the youthful age of %, is engaged on
his duties as an air line manager, and
while putting the company on its finan-
cial legs will also learn to fly. Re-
turning here on June 13, Mrs. Roose-
welt will proceed to add TO her already
long list Of engagements. June l8 she
will be honor guest of her god-mother
at West orange. N. j., when a dinner
will be given for her:
With eagerness the President and
Mrs Roosevelt watched the completion
of the beautiful White House swimming
pool in the west wing or terrace Of the
Mansion and already the President has
chriStened it. Historic Potomac waters
scarcely know themselves as they re-
fleet the blues and green's of the tile
that line the pool, and with its many
other elegancies 1t seems long way
back to the period when John Adams
made his way to the Potomac River
over boggs ind fells for a plunge in its
not too crystal waters.

Hosts to Fourth Estate
Informal Reception With Dancing Given at

Fly West Today.
Fly West Today.

The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
entertained at delightful reception
with dancing last evening at the White
House for members Of the Fourth
Estate.
The gracious infornality which has
prevailed in the Executive Mansion
from the very first day Of this admins
tration was even more evident as the
hosts greeted the men and women of
the press with whom they have had 50
close Q contact since their arrival In
Washington.
Summer blossoms in profusion were
used artistically about the state suite
and the doors and windows leading to
the garden and lawn Of the White
House were thrown open so that those
who had the desire might stroll about.
The historic crystal chandeliers gave
a blaze of brilliance throughout the
rooms and the Marine Band Orches-
ira, the musicians in their scarlet jack
cts, played as the guests were arriving
and during the reception.
BY thoughtful arrangement of the
First Lady, she first received her guests
in the blue room, the company then
going to the east room, where the
President waited to greet and chat
with each and every guest. During
the hours of the reception President
Roosevelt and the men who cover"
him laid aside the cares of the Nation
and forgot" to talk shop"
Delicious punch was served during
the evening and later a buffet supper
in the State dining room.
In addition to the members of the
press, the company included, the Vice
President and Mrs. John N. Garner
and the members of the cabinet and
their wives who are in the city, and a
few friends of Mrs. Curtis B. Dali,
daughter Of the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. The Presidents secretaries
and the First Lady's secretary, Mrs.
Malvina Thompson Schneider. were also
in the company.
A delightful feature which Mrs
Roosevelt arranged for her guests was
the presence of Miss Gene Dennis, well
reading the past, present and future
for the men and women who have
made writing Of the news Of the day
their profession.
