 Clever, sophisticated and resource ful, she manages to pull strings in drawing rooms. conference cham bers and even in the stately halls of Congress. Lucy is as successful in influencing women as in using men. She yields her power with incredible grace
 Most of Lucy's connivings are staged in one or another room of the Wayne home. It is one of those Colonial mansions found only in certain sections of Washington. It has majesty that seems to come from the traditions that cling to it from the past.

mo government faithful
to the sacred trust involved

them.
Every nation must sup
port them, If civilization is to

"The longer the nations de-
lay acceptance and obServa-

the jeopardy into which all

ISSUE UNIVERSAL

THAT issue Is universal. No
more than q community or .
nation, can the world base It's
experience in part on law and
in part on lawlessness, IN part
on order and in part on chaos,
in part on processes of peace
and in part on methods Of vio-
lence,"
He strongly defended the Ad.
ministration's foreign policy Ia
the Far East, and asserted that
there will be no withdrawal Of
American naval vessels from
China waters. All history and
experience shows, he said, that
firSt-claSs powers maintain armed
forces abroad to protect their ma
tionals and their interests. To dc
otherwise, he maintained, Is
craven and an invitation to
trouble.
DARE NOT WAIVE RIGHTS
"To waive rights and to per
nit interests to lapse in the
face OF their actual or threat
ened violation" he said, can
serve only to encourage diSre-
gard Of law and the basic prin-
ciples Of international order,
and thus contribute to the In
evitable spread Of international
anarchy throughout the world"
No one nation, he said. can
maintain the principles outlined.
To maintain them requires q Ger.
tain degree Of cooperation among
the nations-but in such instances
of cooperation, he asserted:
This Government will retain
at all times its independence OF
judgment and freedom Of &C.
ton"
While advocating cooperation
between nations, he continued,
I'VE have never entertained and
have not the slightest intention
of entertaining any such notion
