of General Johnson are over.
 Confidence in the investing market will be encouraged. For above almost anything else right now, Roosevelt is anxious to get private funds flowing, start busi- ness carrying the burden of ex- penditure which the government, so far, has shouldered.
 The spectre of a complete strike by capital, the dread pos- sibilitty of unlimited govern ment, so far, has shouldered.
 The spectre of a complete strike by capital, the dread pos sibility of unlimited government spending had a certain effect last summer. Roosevelt's friends say it worried him.
 This, then, is the new goal: Friendly cooperation with
 business, without crackdOwns,
 but with firm regulation on
 behalf of the public; and in
 regard to Labor, not as much
 favOritisrn as in the past.
 Whether the president can do this without alienating the growing radical opinion which he himself senses, only the next two years can tell.
 MERRY-GO.ROUND
 Chief man behind Tom Mooney's initial victory in the Supreme Court was youthful appearing Washington attorney named John Finnerty Fin nerty comes from an old aris- tocratic family, rides with the hounds in Virginia, but is the perennial champion of lost causes. Years before Ramon de Valera had a chance to be president of the Irish Free State, Finnerty served as his at- torney, kept him in hiding in Washington. He still acts as de Valera's American attorney. Finnerty was the man who reinstated John Donovan to the MIRA despite the be1ligerent objection of General Johnson. He is the man who has chan- pioned the cause of pacifists be- fore the House Naval Affairs Committee despite the fact that his father--a big navy man once was chairman of that com mittee The strange thing is that many radicals are sus- picious of Finnerty because three or our times week they see his name in the society columns as one of the famous fox-hunters of Virginia.

 And undoubtedly some of the things they have whispered to Moley have got to the ear of the president. For he has been calling in some of the big busi- ness moguls lately for pleasant advisory" talks. The moguls have gone away distinctly de- lighted.
 CONFIDENCE IN THE LEFT
 On top of all this came the elections and overwhelming vic- tory.
 The results were interpreted by everyone, including the presi- dent, as an unequivocal vote of confidence in his policies.
 And these policies, for the most part, have been liberal, progressive, and some of them even radically Left.
 Roosevelt indicated to one ad- wiser just after November 6 that he was now more inclined than ever to keep Left. For two req sons: First because his Left poli- cies had been approved by the mass of the people; Second, be- cause he sensed strong under current of radicalism in the country ready to go much fur ther than he ever thought of going.
 However, Roosevelt is great student of history. Particularly, he is a student of Napoleon. It was Napoleon's policy to offer his enemies truce when he was riding the crest of victory. BUSINESS TRUCE
 Roosevelt is now riding on such a crest. If those closest to him read his mind correctly, he is now ready to offer big business a. modified truce.
 Regulation will be continued though how rigid it will be, remains to be seen. Certainly the bombastic, crack-down days

Paris Letter

(United Press Sta Correspondent)
 Paris. (UP)-The anonymous Master of Moulins now has q name. Its "Jean HayJ' if the de- auctions of Dr Maurice H. Gold. blatt, director of the Art Gallery of the University of Notre Dame are correct.
 The triptych of Moulins, long considered the masterpiece of French art of the 18th Century, and over which has waged 8 veri- table war as to it's authenticity, definitely is the work of Jean Hay, and painted in 149S.
 Identified as Hays Work
 Some critics have considered these panels in the Cathedral of Moulins as the work of another painter, Jehan Perreal, but Dr Goldblatt, the Chicago expert, who first saw the triptych in 1926 and who for the past eight years has specialized in the study of primitives, mainly of the Floren- tine and French schools, now is convinced that 1t is the work of Hay.
 have been trying to solve this problem" he said," and the paint CT was believed by some to be Jehan Perreai, court painter to Charles VIII, Louis XII and Fran cois I, but there was nothing dcf- mite upon which to base this sup position. By my own method of Identification of paintings, how ever, I am positive that this trip- tych is from the brush of Hay"
 Hay was a famous artist of the 18th Century, now almost fcrgot- ten, and one of the many pictures painted by him still bears his name. It is the "Christ with the Scepter."
 Painter for Bourbons Louis Dimier, French art his- torian, says that Jean Hay was painter to the Bourbons and that he made Tours the center of his activity. Dr. Goldblatt has. identi- fled IA other paintings in the great galleries as the work of f3ny, some of them being anonymously attributed to the Master of Mou- line. Four are in the Louvre Museum, three in the Brussels Muesum and others in the chief BdIlerieS OI Muutcu, ESW VtA and in the Chicago Art Institute, where his planting "The' Annunci- ation" is part of the Ryerson col- lection.
 Jehan Perreal paints much like Hay, which accounts for the con- fused Identification, but Dr. Gold blatt attributes his discovery to the fact of an authentic signature and a date, 14S8, on Portrait of a Young Man" in the Friedsam collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it is wrongly attributed to 1.-the Master of Moulins. This :s the only known signed picture by Perreal.

Press Comment
WINTER DRAWING NEAR
(Hartford Times.)

The autumnal season of 1884 appears to be adhering to schedule set premonitorially several weeks ago. Light frost came very early, scarcely awaiting the end of Au- gust. Killing frost arrived before the middle of october. Snow fell before November 1. The past 36 hours have witness a cold wave which carried frost to Pensacola, Florida, deposited a foot of snow in parts of Vermont and chilled in wintry fashion the whole territory between Ontario and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Storms dashed the seaboard." The leaves were off the trees sooner than usual. An early winter is in rational pros pect.
 Despite these early cool visita- tions, however, autumn thus Tar has maintained average temper ature much above normal. Early winter and severity of winter are not at all necessarily concomitant. But the point to emphasize IS that it will not do to put off any fur ther the customary winter prepa- rations. Now is tho time for all prudent people to get their prem ises. their persons and their cars snugged and ready for cold weath- CT, and at once, because although the weather map has run for mild conditions in many days past until Tuesday. It's behavior has changed and tho promise is that before many days the Connecticut com- munities may have the privilege of stepping on Ice and the noise of missing radiators may be heard In the land.
 Whether cold lasts long or not. it operates swiftly and discomfit- ingly when 1t comes upon the un- ready.

Washington, Nov 16.-The biggest question being asked throughout the country to-day is whether Mir Roosevelt is swing ing over toward definite coopera- tion with Big Business or whether he will continue his old 'left of center" course.
 Many self-appointed oracles have answered this question. They have come from the inner presidential sanctum to proclaim that Roosevelt is going Right in big way; or that he is go- ing Left more definitely than ever. Talk to either side and you get different view.
 This divergence is due chief. Nv to the fact that the president is toying with the always haz- ardous game of going in both directions at the same time.
 This is blunt way of putting it. But the fact is that he is being pulled prodigiously not merely by business and labor on the outside, but by members of his own official family on the inside. And the result has not been coherent.
 The pulling began after the Green Bay speech last summer. Written in large part by Pro- lessor Ray Moley, it pledged. a program of social aid for the Forgotten Man, with the con- tinued rigid regulation of big business.
 The effect was to send cold shivers down the spine of almost every monied interest in the country and undoubtedly was one factor in the threatened strike of capital late last sum- mer.
 JEFFERSONIAN MODERATION
 Immediately after the Green Bay speech, Roosevelt received calls from some of the good old Jefferson democrats in his cabi- net. Among them was Cor dell Hull of Tennessee, arch enemy of Ray Moley. Another was Secretary of Commerce Dan Roper, a believer in cooperation with business.
 They urged caution. They though their chief had gone too far. Regulation of business was all right, they said, but they thought it was not neces- sary to scatter 8 lot of bloody heads around the economic horizon.
 The cracking down, they thought, should be stopped.
 Simultaneously, Roosevelt's ad- visers say he came to the con- clusion that labor had over reached itself. The strike in San Francisco, and particularly the strike in the textile indus. try, convinced him that Labor had the bit in its teeth and would run away with the country un- less jerked to a quick halt.
 Since then, even Professor Moley has gone a touch conser' YQtive.

A Book a Day
Sees g Golden Age In Maine Boyhood
By BRUCE CAPTION

Our golden age seems to be just behind us. American writers
 are looking back at the past, these
 days, as never before. They are seeing it as an enchanted time and place, lit by some magic afterglcw which makes the present look drab and dull by comparison; and they are writing some uncommonly ap- pealing books about 1t.
 The best of the lot seems to me to be Lost Paradise" by Robert F.
 Tristram Coffin.
 MT Coffin looks back at his boy
 hood on a Maine seacoast farm
 some 25 years ago, in a region
 where the average man was part farmer and part sailor, and he Is
 marvelously successful at the job of giving the reader a sense of the
 enchantment which he finds in that scene.
 It was a boyhood of hard work, to be sure-but what compepsa-
 tions it had! There were open fields under the sun, woodlands
 where a boy could wander after
 cartridges with dog and gun, a
 warm sea in which a lad made hot
 and tired by blowing could plunge
 and be refreshed; there were steaming fish chowders, and juicy
 huckleberry pies, and huge dishes of crushed strawberries and cream in a mixture so thick that & spoon would stand in it.
 There were, in fact, many crea- ture comforts and wholesome pleasures, mingled with a sense of freedom and a feeling of honest self-su Efficiency that would make any life seem good.
 Mfr Coffin writes of all this with great charm. He presents a de- ilghtful picture ,of Maine seacoast life a generation ago, and makes e book whose reading Is sheer pleasure.

CRAWFORD AND GABLE
REMAIN AT COLUMBIA
Chained" Goes Into Another
Week at F Street
Theater.

The way Joan Crawford fits from
one love to another in Chained" at
the Columbia, one is constrained to
wonder at times if she ever will make
up her mind.
Joan and Clark Gable are starred
in the picture, but the acting of Otto
Kruger automatically stars him,
though his name isn't printed in such
big letters on the "blurbS."
Even If Otto does the admirable"
thing in sending Joan back to Clark
(an Argentine rancher) for the final
time-and does it in a sacrificial
"she's-yours-take-her" fashion, he
does a grand job and you'll wonder
that Joan didn't stick around in spite
Of him. However. that's a woman's
business, this mind-changing, so we'll
let it 60 at that.
Briefly. Joan is Otto's secretary. He
owns a huge fleet of ships, and sends
her away on one of them to recuperate
from an illness. She meets the Ar
gentinian, falls in love, but returns
to Otto and marries him, melodra-
matically enough, for we see flash
backs showing her affection for the
South American. Then Clark appears
(just few days run up to New York
from Buenos Aires) and all her love
returns. Clark does the big" thing,
seeing Otto's love for Joan, and leaves.
Then comes the martyr act, Otto has
"seen all" and tells Joan to 20 back
to the pampas with her true love.
