LEADERSHIP INTACT.

As the old saying goes, give the devil his due, it must be admitted that the opposition to the present Administration has developed considerable showmanship in the last year or two with it's Longs, Coughlins aye, and the Grass Rooters Credit must be given for furnishing the American people with amusement. but when the curtain goes down on the various acts there is nothing yet presented in the shape of actual leadership comparable with the Roosevelt touch
 Governor Troy who has just returned from two mcnths in the States during which time he met and talked to leading men in various walks of life, said of the President On his return:
 All the outstanding men in all parties
 concede he is the only leader in sight at this
 time and I predict his reelection by land
 slide proportions.
 The fact is that most of the hue and cry against President Roosevelt is not much against the Presidents program as it is an effort to develop somewhere for political purposes some man who can carry the opposition banner with semhance of a popular following in the 1886 campaign. So far the Moses has not been found in the wilderness of the Grand Old Party or among the mavericks who gambol on any or all preserves with abandon Thus the beating of the tom toms grows ever louder in an effort to camoufage the actual situa- tion which outstanding men in all parties well aware of-Roosevelt promised the leadership, has furnished it and has yet come along with program which offers anything which can com pare.
 Much has been made in the way of balyhoo about expenditures of the Roosevelt regime con- siderpg this the most vulnerable point for attack but the fact remains that money has been spent by the Administration except for human welfare. to keep and children from starvation and attempt to rehabiltate them for the future. You hear the great yowl about spend ing public funds but have you yet seen the opposi- tion put it's finger single item where money wasted? No. they talk in generalities because they know that spending in behalf of humanity is not only sound but absolutely necessary.
 The clarion call in '32 was for leadership Frank lin D. Roosevelt stepped into the picture and SUD- pied it. While the attack is politically directed against him the real purpose of the opposition is to discover another great man if they can All thinking people the Roosevelt program can stand by force of it's very purpose-the betterment of humanity-and not it's crucfxion as in the dark days Of Hoover.

Threatened by Guards.
When under the cover Of darkness
between Greece and Yugoslavia,
Serbian guards threatened to shoot
me.
The Greek government denied Donal
F. McGonigal. the United States vice
consul at Salonika. permission to pro-
ceed to Drama, Seres, Kavalla and
other cities In Greek Macedonia to
warn all Americans there to leave for
safer zones.
The representative Of the Gary To-
bacco Co. likewise was prevented from
going to Seres to determine if his
company's personal property was safe,
and the Bulgarian consul at Dresden
was forbidden to leave Greece because
he lacked the official permission of the
Greek government.
The widest rumors are current
throughout the country. One Is that
government airplanes have sunk the
cruiser Averoff, flagship of the in
surgent fleet.
Another says that former Premier
Eleutherios Venizelos, inSurgent leader,
has been shot to death in Crete.
A third report is to the effect that
government forces have occupied Ka-
valla and Alexandropolis.
The great danger at present in
Macedonia Is not revolution or civil
war, observers declare, but the posi-
bility that thousands of disaffected
workmen in the great tobacco-growing
region about Kavalla may sack Ameri-
can tobacco warehouses and other
property, create other disturbances or
declare a Soviet republic in Mace
donia.

Americans In Greece believe that
the presence Of American destroyers in
Kavalla, Alexandropolis and Salonika
would do much to protect American
lives and property In the event Of an
uprising or bombardment Of both ports
by the rebel fleet.
It now seems clear that the British
cruiser Royal Sovereign came to
Athens to prevent the rebel fleet from
bombarding the capital and its price,
less art monuments. British author
tiles declare the war vessel would have
gone to Kavalla to prevent similar
bombardment Of that city, except fee
the fact the British admiralty feared
loyalist aviators in their excitement
might have attempted to shell the
Royal Sovereign in the belief she was
the insurgent cruiser Averoh.
Such an incident. the admiralty
feared, might conceivably lead to grave
| international complications between
Greece and Great Britain.
The Simplon- international Express

today.

GHEVGHELLI, Greek Yugoslav
Frontier, March l1.-Greece entered
the eleventh day Of its revolution to-
day with apparently no more signs
of peace than when the insurrection
began.
Government infantry, artillery and
airplanes continued to harass the
rebels along the Demirhissar- -Seres
front without decisive results.
Reports circulated that government
troops had captured Seres, but these
reports were discounted by observers
of the situation here. 1t is still I'M
certain whether the Loyalist forces
have even crossed the River Struma.
In Athens the cabinet appeared to
be in a dilemma, not knowing whether
Gen. George Kondylis. commander of
the Loyalist forces, should attack the
rebels with all his five divisions of
the national army or continue merely
to worry the insurgents with a single
division hoping to disrupt their
morale.
The government was seemingly
hesitant to test the loyalty of Its SOL
diers and aviators. in the opinion of
some observers. fearing that they,
too, may join the revolutionists.
Both Claim Victories.
In the absence of impartial and re-
liable reports from the front, the
whole situation remains obscure and
uncertain. Both sides claim over
whelming victories. Not single
American or foreign correspondent
has succeeded in reaching the gov
eminent or rebel lines, although
British and French military attaches
are reported to have gone to the front
by permission of the government.
Gen. Kondylis informed newspaper
men that he expected the revolution
would be over tomorrow or Wednes-
day, after which American and other
foreign correspondents will be per-
mitted to visit the front.
In order to prevent foreigners and
Greeks from receiving signals from
the rebel feet and army, the govern
ment has conflscated all private radio
sets. including sets owned by Ameri-
cans.

crease is without exception the most
important economic problem which
faces us today"
Declaring recovery is proceeding by
a series of ups and downs, the report
added:
Business is now in its third up
swing since March, 1888. This up
swing apparently terminated with the
second week in February, for since
then production, which had been ris-
ing in many basic industries. such as
steel, electric power, automobiles and
others, either turned downward or
ceased to show more than the normal
seasonal rise.
Although business observers now
believe this years Spring season will
not lift production any further to-
ward normal or create more than the
usual temporary jobs for the unem-
ployed. No decline is expected in the
next few months. Business will prob
ably continue along a plateau. with
steel and automobile production held
steady and the expected rise in build
ing postponed somewhat"
