That the installments OF newspaper
exposure Of Mr.. Black were not then
complete and that Mr.. Black was in
Europe-"until such time as he re-
turns there is no further comment to
be made"
Message Delayed.
But for Mr.. Roosevelts Chicago ad-
OeSs about foreign relations there was
abundant cause. It is not even likely
that Mr.. Roosevelt hurried to make
the address at an earlier date in order
10 blanket the Black case. For the
opinion OF some persons Of good judg-
ment is that Mr.. Roosevelt's utter
ance about the state Of the world was
delayed beyond the time when Amer
lea ought to have spoken. Is it con-
celVable that Japan should be violat-
ing the nine-power treaty to which
America is a party, and America take
no notice? Is it conceivable that the
strongest nation in the world should
say nothing when the peace of the
world Is being violated on two conti-
nents?
whether the address Mr.. Roosevelt
made was the best possible one to
make is another question. MANY OF
the best informed answer the question
IN Mr.. Roosevelt's favor. 1t is fam
tastlc to assume that Mr.. Roosevelt
wrote this address offhand and hur-
riedly on a railroad trip, between stons
at dams and bridges As one who has
observed developments at Washington
my surmise-though it is only a sur
mise-is that Mr.. Rooseyelt's Chicago
address was the final declaration of a
policy that had been built up by the
state Department and himself owe. a

operation with Secretary OF State Hull
What Is Next?
The question now is, what next?
We have ahead of us a situation not
dissimilar to that which the country
faced in 1914-1917. In this situation
what is to be our policy, and who is
to make it? Even If Mr.. Roosevelt
were as wise as Woodrow Wilson, it is
doubtful II the country would sur
render our policy making to the pres
ent President as fully as it did to the
former one. AS it happens. foreign

Roosevelt has functioned with less
cause for violent dissent than has been

crate or Not, Overshadowed Black Case.

sympathetic concern for the Navy
than any other President in recent
years.
Nevertheless, Mr. Roosevelts actions
in the domestic field have excited so
much distrust of his judgment that
the country will hardly wish to let him
have exclusive personal power in
foreign relations. A President who
would make a mistake so disadvanta-
geous to himself as the Black appoint
ment might make mistake Of similar
magnitude in foreign relations. OBJ
servers have come to feel also that
Mr.. Roosevelt takes definite pleasure
in acting on impulse, that he does not
like to take advice. So much is this
so that when he is bent upon an i'm
pulse he avoids letting his intentions
be known to those who should be his
advisers, lest taey advise him against
what he wants to do. This was true in
the Black matter. 1t was true in the
matter of the court proposai-Mr
Roosevelt has boasted that only two
persons in the world besides himself
knew of that proposal before he sensa-
tionally sent 1t to the Senate. The
country would hardly like to have I'M
portant steps in foreign relations taken
that way.
Who Is to Make Policy?
But who is to make our foreign
policy? Who is to make concrete the
future steps which Mr.. Roosevelts
Chicago speech necessarily implied?
So far as Mr.. Roosevelt consults with
his Secretary Of State, the country
can feel assured. Mr.. Hull is a man
of the highest character and intelli-
gence, prudent, sure-footed, steady
minded. But there should be an even
broader base Of thought and judg-
ment for the momentous steps that
are ahead.
To get the consensus OF the best
minds Of the whole country is not
practicable. But it is practicable. and
Mr.. Roosevelt ought to be willing, to
get the consensus Of the best minds of
his own party. For him to fail to do
that would be Wanton WillfulneSs. As
start. Mr.. Roosevelt might consult
those Democratic leaders, including
Vice President Garner, who last
Spring tried in vain TO advise him
about the course of his court proposal
IN the Senate. II he is to consult
the best minds Of his party. he
should include some OF those Demo-
cratic Senators who opposed him on
the court proposal, such as Senator
Glass. for example. If taking advice
is unpalatable to Mr.. Roosevelt. he
