Some of my reasons hopefuness concerning future that
is not too distant, are as follows:
think that the more thoughtful Americans who have fol-
lowed the Deal have done because they regard
experiment that get results They have felt it worth
while to take chance.
That spirit not really revolutionary 1t will pass
the experiments fail.
completely confident of the existence of economic and
other laws social Since the New Deal and the die
atos in Europe trying to counter to of these
laws, they will fail.
And in case, have fortunately gone gradually
with the aid of the Supreme Courthat is yet late
to turn to the right
Anoher point is that the notion that the New Deal
is the only alternative what is called going back Hoover
is wrong This will become more and more apparent
In my opinion the business leaders have learned lesson
More than that-and not the least hopeful ndcaon-there

have been much impressed by speeches recently made
by Donald Rchberg of the brain trsters who still has
influence with Roosevelt In both he stood for sound economics
and true liberalism
In opposed Federal Government fixing wages saying
that under such regulation 1--WE will find ourselves moving
rapidly the end of the competitive system Fix wage
and you have to fix all prices He added that many labor
problems local in character.
In the other Speech he said that the Government cannot
legisate mpoyerabor that will bring industrial
peace What it do aid in providing conditions of
negotiations of which such be made His
thought obviously that the appropriate field for Govern
intervention is in the maintenance of fair competition
Who denies that!
Then there remarks made by Mr. Roosevelt Of course
he many things In recent however, he said
1T is important that business whole profits And
he said ut is the interest of the nation to have Government
help private enterprise"
He speeches upheld American democracy as against
European relationships In action he has Of late dealt with
England and France rather than Russia Germany Italy
From the beginning when he was "swinging left
most widely in the palmy days of Tugw and the Brain

politician would finally dominate Roosevelt deaistic

Personally like what is true and right and
to new to the line all the time But the President says To
MAINTAIN Democracy of effort requires of
patience dealing with differing methods Then political

doubt that Roosevelt has such definitely fixed radical
principles that he will fight majority of the people

Ody, laughing DoA pdrIleS
contributed their part to the
general scene, and amongst
the early arrivals were the
Be gia n Ambassador and
Countess van der Straten
Ponthoz, who, this afternoon,
will be hosts at a cocktail
party and reception at the
embassy in honor of the Bel
gian Army riders, including
Capitaine Commandant Chew
alier Henri de Menten de
Horne, Lieut.. Paul Mondron,
Lieut.. Ives van Strydonck
and Lieut.. Ferdinand Pos
wick.
Countess van der Straten
Ponthoz was attired in black,
a silver fox falling gracefully
from her shoulders. and her
black hat, fashioned sharply
off the face on one side. was
intriguingly trimmed with
veil and jeweled pin. Nine.
Poswick, the only lady ac-
companying the Belgian
riders to this country, looked
as though she might have
just stepped from a fashion
magazine. Her suit had a
skirt of gray tweed with a
jacket of black, and she wore
a gayly colored blouse. Her
Scotch hat was checkered in
green, red and white feathers,
and boosted perky quill.
Diplomats were everywhere!
Behind the press box we spied
the Belgian Ambassador and the
Second Secretary of the EN-.
bassy, Mr.. Gerard Walravens,
making their way over to the
paddock with some difficulty,
for the recent rains have not
been followed by enough SUM-
shine to dry the terrain. The
Ambassador of Germany was &C
companied by Frau Dieckhoff,
whose costume consisted of a
smartly cut black Persian lamb
coat, with a Russian toque of
black.
The Italian Ambassador loves
a horse show, you can tell it by
watching the expressions on his
face. Yesterday, Donna de
Suvich was with her husband
and others in their party were
the Secretary of the Embassy
and Countess Roberti. The En-
voy's pretty blond wife chose
to wear a black suit with an As
cot of bright yellow, while the
Countess was chic in an ensem-
BILE of gray trimmed in krimmer.

accidentally happened to find it
out. Last year, when Peggy was
abroad, a particular bolt of cloth
in the shop of a famous tailor
caught her eye. The cloth was
black and gray tweed. Peggy
went in and made inquiry and
was told she could only buy
few yards, the rest of the bolt
was promised" She bought
the few yards and the above
mentioned coat was the result.
Later she found OUT that the
rest of the promised bolt was
made up into an ensemble for
the chic Duchess of Kent, who
had evidently admired this cloth
just as much as Peggy, and just
a little bit ahead of her!
