Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today
expressed the opinion that the defeat
Of the wage and hour bill in the spe-
cial session OF Congress does not mean
permanent defeat Of the legislative
principles involved.
Her opinion, she said at her press
conference, was based on her feeling
that when principles are right, they
will win out eventually. Details OF
the bill may need working out. she
added, but she feels these difficulties
will be overcome in the end.
Asked to comment on tine c. I. O..
situation in Jersey City. Mrs Roose-
welt declared she has a general feel
ing that the sci dement, of any ques-
tions by methods of intimidation is
never very permanent. She explained
she was only expressing her "own
feeling however.
The Presidents wife evaded ques-
tions on whether she expects to par

and beauty and richness of the drama,
its eloquence and its nobility, and the
truly heroic performance Of Miss Cor
nell in the Leading role.
JUSTICE was Mr.. Anderson's theme
in "Winterset," and now in The
Wingless Victory" his topic is intol-
erance. There is the quality of the
crusader in most Of mis- works. hoid-
over, Mr.. Nathan believes, from his
days as an editorial writer. Certainly
it is the crusading instinct, as well
as the eloquence of the speech. that
provides the story Of the sea ca plain.
the princess he brought back with
him from the Celebes and Tie destruc-
ton of their romance on the shoaLs of
New England bigotry, with its stiI-
ring overtones.
Mr.. Anderson. in his tale Of one
intolerance, seems to cry Out against
all of its forms. whether they be re-
hgious or racial. Without those over
tones The Wingless Victory" would
be merely the touching story of a
doomed love. With them it becomes
an impassioned outburst against one
Of the worlds most virulent curses.
But it is worth noting that. although
the playwright does Still hold onto
his crusading instincts. he grows more
and more defeatist as his talent for
dramatic poetry increases In Win
terset" he despaired of justice, and
now, in The Wingless Victory" he
sees no hope of tolerance and even
permits his heroine to see that love,
too, has failed her.
FORTUNATELY, however, this de-
featist quality does not seem to be
accompanied by any loss of dramatic
nobility. In Mary of Scotland and
"Winterset" Mr. Anderson told of the
tragic death of lovers. but in his latest
drama it is not physical death so
much as the failure of love that is
the tragedy. 1t would appear, there
fore. that with the destruction of his
last stronghold of optimism. roman
tic love, the playwright's pessimism
would have reached its final depth
and would result in the sort of hope
