BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt will deliver an
address to the people over the radio
on Tuesday night. 1t will be "in the
nature of report which the President
desires to make to the country, follow
ing his recent visit to the West"
according to a White House anounce-
ment, late yesterday.
The President will speak from the
White House over all three networks
from $50 to 1890 pm.
No intimation came from the White
House regarding the subject matter
Of the address other than that quoted.
There was speculation outside, how
ever, as to whether the President
would discuss any plan he may have
for special session of Congress and
the program he believes Congress
should undertake, and whether he
would amplify the foreign policy he
disclosed in his recent Chicago speech.
From the wording Of the announce
ment the impression grew that the
President would deal with domestic
affairs, not foreign. which have re-
Gently been the subject of wide dis
cussion and which his recent speech
in Chicago served to bring into the
limelight.
Fireside Chat Variety.
This will be the first radio address
to the people of the freside chat
variety which the President has made
in some time, although many of his
addresses delivered at various meet
ings, as was his Constitution day ad-
dress, have been transmitted by radio
throughout the country.
No final decision has been an
nounced by the President regarding
a special session of Congress, although
before his return to Washington on
Friday it was generally predicted q
call for Congress to meet in November
would be made. Since his arrival,
however, there has been doubt ex-
pressed about the special session. II
the President reports to the country
that he found conditions in the West,
and indeed, across the continent, that
require speedy legislation, he may take
this occasion to announce his deter
nination.
One thing seems certain. If Con-
gress is convened in the near future,
the subject of foreign relations, in the
light of the Presidents Chicago speech,
may be debated in the Senate and
House almost Immediately, and for
the time eclipse domestic affairs. The
more aggressive leadership in world
affairs which the President indicated
in his Chicago address marks a wide
turn from the sentiment for isolation
Of this country which developed
strongly during the poet-World War
era.
Most Tangible Form.
This sentiment for isolation and for
a policy of 'minding our own busi-
ness and letting the rest of the
world solve its own problems reached
its most tangible form in the neutral
ity acts, passed by the last Congress
and re-enacted in the last session.
Whether Congress is now willing to
follow the President in his demand
for more active participation in world
affairs, particularly in the Far East.
remains to be seen. Already there
have been rumblings from the leading
isolationists. like Senators Borah Of
Idaho and Nye of North Dakota. And
others, more conservative in this re-
spect, like Senator Vandenberg Of
Michigan, while refraining from pass
ing Judgment on the Presidents pcl-
icy. have warned that the American
people must understand they may be

Decorations
Are Planned
Movement Discussed
for Christmas Hum
nations as in Re-
cent Years

Agitation was started here today
for the raising of funds for the an
nual decoration of the business dis
trict of Henderson for the Christmas
shopping season. Henderson has de-
corated it's retail district during the
Yuletide period for the past three
years.
Last year the work was done at a
cost of around $500. A very small bal
ance was left after all bills were paid
at that time. Last year a consider
able amount of equipment was pur-
chased which is of a permanent ma
ture, and this can be used again this
year. so that it will not have to be
bought.
It is thought, therefore, that the
decorations can be arranged this
Christmas season for a slightly less
figure than last year.
Already Sam Afford, who was in
charge last year, has been in touch
with concerns who did the work a
year ago. He said the erection of the
electric lighting system could be made
at very reasonable cost this year,
and that the laurel and the other ban
ners and festoons would be had un-
der a general contract He could not
say just what the cost would be.
Mr.. Afford shrank from assuming
the responsibility for the work this
year, but said he would be glad to
assist any one who would assume
leadership. Last year the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce sponsored the move
ment. That organization is now in
active, and leadership will have to
come from some other source. Mr..
Afford said, however, he thought it
time for the canvass for funds to get
under way. It is felt that the decora-
tions should be placed as quickly as
possible after Thanksgiving day,
which is just a week off.
