in which Abraham Lincoln and Cen
eral Grant were the chief actors, there
is an appealing human story that to
this day remains virtually unknown. 1t
is revealed in obscure and priceless
original documents, says writer in
the Washington Post.
The event to which the yellOwing
manuscripts relate is the appointment
Of Grant as lieutenant general in com
mand of all the Union forces in the
Civil war, an epOchal step taken by
President Lincoln more than 40 years
ago.
Lincoln had watched with increasing
satisfaction the military record of the
stOcky and taciturn Grant. With the
victories at vicksburg and Chattanooga,
the President reached the decision to
place him in command of all the Union
armies. To this resolve Lincoln held
despite extreme pressure from numer-
Gus disaifected elements.
Grant was called to the White House
and told of the Presidents intention.
Lincoln called Grant aside and told him
he understood the generals dread Of
public speaking" and in order to make
things il bit easier on that score, he,
the President, had written out 1.-The few
lines" he intended to say to Grant on
the occasion of the formal delivery of
the appointment.

Lincoln urged Grant to say something

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Opposi-
ton to President Roosevelt's neu-
trality program melted rapidly to-
day in the face of a drastic Ad-
ministration proposal to guarantee
this nations peace in the event of
another major war.
The Presidents suggestions, in
troduced simultaneously in the Sen
ate and House, went so far along
the road to rigid neutrality that
even the most ardent isolationists
hesitated to oppose it.
Supporters of the cash and car

Senate Munitions Committee, after a
hasty conference, said the Admins
tration's proposal represents great
advance of historic Importance
They insisted, however, the Presi-

ROME, Jan. 4.-Italy fitted

Roosevelt, in his message to
Congress, offered expansion

The Presidents reference to those
who revert to the law of the sword,
or who believe that they have mis-
sion to subdue others, was taken
here as referring clearly, and direct
ly, to Italy.
In answer, those in political cir
cles said coldly that they regretted
the President had shown insufficient
knowledge of Ita1y's case against
Ethiopia, and of the true situa-
ton"
But there was national relief over
disclosure of the neutrality bill
which the Administration is spon-
soring to keep the United States
aloof from war;
Feared Unfriendiy Acts
Fear had Increased that this bill
might authorize a complete en-
barge on such essentials as oil. It
was said frankly in advance that
any such bill would be regarded as
definitely unfriendly to Italy. 1t
was limited mySteriously, also, that
the United States certainly would
be drawn into a European conflict if
it pushed its neutrality acts to linn

without injuring Ethiopia.
There was no sympathy here with
the Presidents implied invitation to
Italy to exercise patience and seek
by peaceable negotiations an outlet
for surplus population.

40 years. Patience proved useless, it
was added-as it has been on so

provocations and methodical
breaches of agreements.
Negotiations Pointed Out
Italy did carry out peaceable ne
gotiations for years, it was argued,
as shown by treaty of friendship
with Ethiopia and three. treaties
with France and Great Britain con-
corning Ethiopia.
But there was no reward, COM
mentators said. for Italy's admit
tedly' honest aspirations and legiti-
mate needs.
They read in the Presidents state
ment about reasonable and legiti-
mate objective" a recognition of the
reasonableness and legitimacy of
Italy's detectives. But they added
that such recognition was empty
unless accompanied by a concrete
plan.
(The President made no reference
to Italy or to the merits of it's OBJ

Roughly, MS address divided into
two explosive fragments-the first.
statement of international affairs
that was interpreted in Europe as a
yelled attack on Italy, Germany
and Japan and heartened Great
Britain, France, and other League
OF Nation countries in their efforts
to maintain peace-the second. an
attack on sections of Big Business
that steal the livery of great ma
t1onal constitutional ideals to serve
discredited special interests that
reused speculation as to organiza-
tons and individuals he had in
mind.
Speech Full of Fight
Observers believed, and Immediate
reaction proved, that Mr.. Roosevelt
opened the 1886 presidential CAM
palgn in his annual report to Con-
gresS on the state of the nation"
His speech was a fighting" one
and it propounded issues MANY ex-
pected to be disputed almost un-
ceasingly between now and election
day.
Several paragraphs stood out. One
was:
Il am confident. that the Congress
of the United States well under
stands the facts and is ready tn
wage unceasing warfare against
those who seek continuation of the
spirit Of fear. The carrying out of
the laws of the land as enacted by
the Congress requires protection ur-
til final adjudication by the nigh
est tribunal of the. land. The Con-
greSs has the right and can find The
means to protect its own preroga-
tiyes."
Court Challenge Seen
This statement was given great
significance in view of widespread
court attacks on New Deal laws.
Many saw a promise of anti-iniunc-
ton legislation at this session of
Congress.
Collection of processing taxes UNI
OcI the AAA, the new DedlS farm
relief program, have been crippled
by injunctions. Only recently a
Federal judge enjoined the New
Deals labor relations act.
Another excerpt: They seek

ance-to control and often do con-
troll and use for their own purposes
legitimate and highly honored busi-
ness associations: They engage in
vast propaganda to spread fear and
diScord among the people - they
would gang up against the peoples
liberties
Asks Congress to Advance
This reused speculation as to the
organization or organizations Mr..
Roosevelt had in mind. The Ma
tional Manufacturers Association
sponsored recently determined at
tack on the New Deal.
The United States Chamber Of
Commerce has been critical. as has

10 and April IA, 1888, as ordered by
President Roosevelt.
Claims Heavy Loss
In order to carry on his Canadian

he then was required to purchase
1916 ounces of gold from the Royal
Mint of Canada for $113, 249.1 IL, cost
of $31.3l an ounce.
He is suing for the difference be-
tween the price of $2067 an ounce

ment on the gold he turned in and

claiming loss of $33,249.11, or
$1064 an ounce.
In addition, Mr.. Smith claims he
suffered damages of $4,000 through
loss of options caused by the gold
