Let US wander through the narrow
teeming streets Of q great city's slums
on . hot Summer night. The air is
oppressive. The tenement houses tow

breath of air, nearly obliterating sight
of the starry heavens.
Airless Rooms Inside.
Let US enter one of these so-called
homes, forgetting for the. moment
that this word originally meant q
place Of peace. comfort and security.
Inside, there are airless rooms. some
of them without windows, nearly all
Of them small, insanitary. foul.
Is 1t any wonder that environment

Unfortunately for Mussolini, the
trade treaty situation Is in charge OF
Assistant State Secretary Sayre. He
happens to be on his vacation. When
he returns he will undoubtedly have
to give his first attention to more
pressing matters. There are so many
things one must attend to when one
is Assistant Secretary of State, espe-
cially when one wants to attend to
other things.
Meanwhile, he official erpland-
tion OF the treaty situation Is that
"we are working on IT," That Is
an impreondble explanation. 1t Is

should be added that ",De are not

cited about little red tape. They ac-

fleld manager, reading something like
this:

told you were studying specifications.

June. I suppose If I came there now
it would still be the same"
1t would.
Note-the soil erosion crowd will
deny it, but several thousand men In
the field are working at less than
half efficiency because they have been
unable to get proper tools. Supplies
for the bureau are bought through
its own purchasing agency and not
through the peoples procurement
system. which buys for most of the
emergency works activities.
Lucky for Wharton.
The A. r. of L. is involved in an
other warm inside scrap about craft
unionism. There will be trouble
about it at the coming convention.
When the executive council met
recently, United Mine Worker John

ton shook fingers at each others
noses about the issue. Wharton, who
Is a bantam, went to the extent Of
inviting heavyweight Lewis outside.
Lewis did not 60. which was lucky
for Mr. Wharton.
Lewis lost out in the executive
council by q large vote. but 1t may
be different at the convention.
Note-William Green will undoubt-
edly be reelected A. r. of L. presi-
