WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

President Roosevelt's two prospec-
tive speaking engagements in Vir-
ginia-to dedicate a veterans hos
pital at Roanoke on October 10 and
to accept a degree from william and
Mary College at Williamsburg the
next day-rnay be utilized for impor-
tant campaign utterances on the eve
Of election. The expectation is that
F. D. r. will choose either those oc-
casions or his favorite medium Of a
f1reside broadcast from the White
House to submit the administrator
case to the country just before vot-
ers troop to the polls. Shrewd poll
tician that he is, Mr.. Roosevelt is
certain not to repeat the immortal
blunder of Woodrow Wilson in 1918
and ask for the election Of an out
right Democratic Congress. Yet, be-
cause OF the Presidents immense per-
sonal popularity, every Democratic
candidate for either House or Senate
Graves ringing eleventh-hour pro-
nunciamento from him, designed to
inspire support for the party ticket
What is generally looked for from
Mr.. Roosevelt is a vote making resume
Of the New Deal to date, with fore
cast of further relief and recovery
plans and an outline Of his social
security" program.

Herbert Hoover's closest friends in
Tnc fV1eP fOy1
semblance Of an attempt at a politi-
cal comeback is to be discerned In
the former Presidents current "Chal-
lenge to Liberty" magazine article and
forthcoming book. THE Chiefs
devotees point out that he is still the
titular leader Of the Republican party
and entitled to be consulted about its
plans, but they are certain in Their
own minds that Mr.. Hoover has re-
nounced all further ambition for pub
lie ONCE and is irrevocably deter
mined, as well as fully resigned, tc
remain high private in the real
rank. All this, Of course, does not
foreclose the possibility that, If suf-
fciently urged, the sage of Palo Alto
might under special circumstances
not of his own making, be induced
to consider another presidential nom-
ination. But at this writing those In
position to know his mental processes
are willing to bet 100 to l that moth
ing is farther from Herbert Hoover's
thought than a third race for the
White House.

Hampson Gary, Texas Democrat
and former diplomat, who is chairman
of the broadcasting division of the
new Federal Communications Com
mission, has promptly won his spurs
throughout the radio world because
| of his recent Nationwide broadcast
in defense of the freedom of the air
and his incidental explosion of the
myth that something in the nature
of Government censorship is in the
wind. Both Republican and Demo-
cratic champions Of free speech have
taken occasion to let Commissioner
Gary know that he struck exactly the
right note at the right time. Among
those who complimented him Is
Senator Borah, Republican progress
sive, of Idaho. During the past few
weeks Mr.. Gary has served as acting
chairman of the Communications
/ Commission. Though a tenderfoot In
the domain of radio, he has quickly
mastered the important ms and outs
of the industry and confesses lively
enthusiasm for all and sundry asso-
ciated with the wave lengths.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY pHnANDER JOHNSON.

Over and Over.
Over and over, the Summer, q rover,
Draws near with a song and sigh; /;
Her soft serenading too swiftly Is
fading
As Autumn's gray shadows draw nigh.
The storm rattles grimly: the sun
shines but dimly
Till the rainbow's aglow through
the rain.
Through every mood ranging, existence
keeps changing.
Over and over again.
Over and over, the bee in the clover
Collects of the sweetness a store;
And the grasshopper shiftless is
doomed with the thriftless
To taste of life's pleasures no more.
Midst sorrow or singing the old world
goes swinging
With joys to efface every pain,
And with griefs still returning through
living and learning
Over and over again.

No Loan for the Soviet.

There can no longer be any doubt
that the negotiations with the Soviet
Union concerning debts and credits
have now reached the state Of almost
hopeless deadlock. Contrary to wide
spread popular belief, 1t Is not the
matter of the debts and claims due
to the Government and citizens of the
United States on which agreement
has been found impossible. Stalemate
Is due to Soviet insistence upon a loan
as the price" for its pledge to ac-
count for already existing obligations
running into hundreds of millions Of
dollars.
President Roosevelt has fatty re-
fused to acquiesce In the Soviet's de-
mand, which altogether comprehends
q long-term loan and commercial
credits totaling more than 5000, ,0oo,-
900. With Europe already owing the
United States an aggregate of ten or
twelve billion dollars, nearly all of
which is In q state of deliberate de-
fault, the President rightly reflects
public sentiment in withholding his
assent to q proposal which would
heavily increase the amount now
standing on the debit side Of Uncle
Sans ledger.
Acting Secretary of State Moore
says that the United States has gone
the limit" in making concessions on
the material points involved in the
negotiations with the Soviet. Am
bassador Troyanovsky is understood
to have asked for an open credit"
or outright loan of 100000, 900 in
addition to 500. 900 900 in credit ia
cilities through the Import Export
Bank set up in Washington to pro-
mote trade relations with the Soviet.
The loan was to be extended at low
interest for from twenty to twenty
five years, and credit facilities were
to run concurrently. The Soviet pro-
posal provides for excess loan inter-
est at ten or twelve per cent, the
fund created thereby to be applied
in payment of American claims.
Under such an arrangement Amer
ican claimants would receive only
partial payment OF their dues. and
the payments would depend entirely
on the interest profits" derived
from Soviet business done through
the Import Export Bank. According
to the Associated Press, 1t Is esti-
mated that it would take an annual
trade turnover Of 100000, 900 in
credit transactions to pay of the
American claims in eighteen or twen-
ty years.
The United States has decided that
it will not come to terms with the
Soviet Union on any such basis as
this. Moscow has apparently as
sumed its position on the theory that
American industry Is so hungry for
export trade that the Washington
Government could be maneuvered
into almost any kind Of q deal the
U. 8. 8. r. might project. Messrs.
Stain and Litvinon now know that,
eager as this country is to expand
its foreign market, there are limits
Of concession beyond which it is
not prepared to 60. Moscow can
also not be blind to the fact that
recognition Of the Soviet government
was accorded last November on very
definite conditions as far as old
Russia's debts to us are concerned.
II those conditions are not or cannot
be met, the whole situation that pre-
ceded recognition might automatic
ally and logically be ripe for recon-
sideration.

conspicuous success. While his huge
audience Of hard-boiled newspaper
men and Republican and Democratic
politicians did not swallow, hook, line
and sinker, his z. P. !. c. plan, Sim
clair made upon everybody an i'm
preston Of great charm, disarming
candor and personal magnetism. He
was at his best when good-humoredly
answering questions shot at him with
out notice, proving clearly that hecklers
have no terror for him. Unlike the
soap-box radical of tradition, Sinclair
refrains from hair-tearing oratory and
confines himself to matter fact
statement of his case, argued always
in terms Of the average man. It's easy
to understand, after hearing him, how
1t came that the mild-mannered au-
thor Of "The Jungle, ran rings around
his opponents in the California guber-
material primary.
Il ~
Representative at Large John j.
Cochran, Democrat, Of Missouri, who
was defeated In the recent senatorial
primary, has accomplished the un-
common feat of being renominated
for the House after aspiring in vain
to make the senatorial grade. The
new thirteenth Missouri district, in
which he is now running, is in North
st. Louis and includes the old eleventh
district, which "Jack" once represented
in Washington. Cochran was named
by the District Democratic Committee
after the candidate already nomi-
mated in the primary, Joseph A. Len
non, voluntarily withdrew. In a letter
of acceptance Mr.. Cochran states
that continued membership in the
House will enable him to achieve
many Of the things he hoped to do
In support Of the Roosevelt recovery
program, had he been promoted to
the Senate.
Mrs. George z. Allen, wife of the
District of Columbia Commissioner
had a pleasant surprise ringside meet
ing with Jack Dempsey at the police
benefit boxing matches in Washing
ton the other night. When the former
heavyweight champion, who refereed
the fights, learned that Mrs. Allen is
the daughter of the late Michael
Kane, one-time well-known member
of the District bar, Jack recalled that
he had known Mrs. Allen as a girl
Of IL, having met her at the time her
father represented Dempsey In a legal
capacity at Washington.

Gov. John G. Winant of New
Hampshire, chairman of President
Roosevelt's Textile Strike Mediation
Board, ranks as a strong Republican
presidential possibility for 1886. If
the Mediation Board contrives to re-
store peace in the textile field, it may
turn out that the President did a
sporting thing in giving Gov. Winant
chance to achieve national fame
It was a strike-the Boston police
confict-politicians recall, that made
another New England Governor, CAL
win Coolidge, President of the United
States once upon time.

Peter Goelet Gerry, former DEM
ocratic Senator from Rhode Island,
is accounted a strong favorite to win
over Senator Felix Hebert, Republican
incumbent seeking reelection. Gerry
is an original AL Smith man, and,
though the outstanding Democrat in
the State, has had little recognition
from the Roosevelt-Farley machine
| during the New Deal.

"What Shall We Do to Be

Elder A. Gains Thompson at Be-
thesda last Sunday morning. Many
who had not before heard an ad-
ventist preach were surprised at
the strength of the discourse of
the visiting minister, at his famili-
arity with the scriptures as he re-
ferred to them in confirmation of
each of his sermon references. He
impressed his large audience with
his earnestness and zeal and as
sured for himself another out
