slider, in light of what has been happening in
Europe this little dispatch from Washington:
The Chamberlain government is launched on
new foreign policy that contemplates recovery
of British prestige in the Orient once cordial
relations with Italy restored, it was reported
tonight in diplomatic circles. This policy will
have the approval of the Roosevelt Admfnistra
ton, which envisions no British threat to Ameri
can interests in the Far East.
That's a pip! American interests in the Far
East as they now stand remind one of peanut
compared to watermelon-$750, 100000 in all
the Far East, including Japan, against $4,000,
100000 for Great Britain.
1t has been obvious that Great Britain could
do nothing in the Orient so long as she was at
loggerheads with the Italians in the Mediter.
ranean. It is Chamberlains desire to make any
kind of concessions in Europe to prevent war
which Eden's policy of reckless idealism would
have promoted-from breaking that weak link.
When the concessions are made and the link
to the Far East maintained then will begin a
fresh drive to convince United States citizens
that their peanut" is menaced and that they
should dive into the Orient to its rescue.
The result, of course, would be that we should
lose our Shirt destroy our own democracy, lose
the peanut But we will have saved the
$4,000 000, 900 watermelon for Cousin Neville, OF
the Birmingham Chamberlains, and that's all
that Cousin Neville wants.

TUESDAY, MARCH I
Dear Washington
By Helen ESSary

DECIDING that message has been discovered at
home, has been wired to this country and printed
in the papers here. It's reactions on this country
likewise have been cabled to Dublin, with maybe
a picture to boot.
Does the news story correspond with my of.
ficial communication? Perhaps not in every
syllable But it's sufficiently accurate to give
the real meaning.
"I remember during a recent passage at arms
between countries, putting it politely certain
ambassador called at the State Department here
and said, Mr.. Secretary, have come to assure
you that my government will not permit its
army to proceed farther than 20 miles this side
Of a given point"
Mr. MacWhte chuckled as he recalled the next
act Of the Secretary who, reaching for a paper
in his desk drawer, said: That's odd Mr. Am
bassador. Because these press dispatches prove
that your troops have already advanced 10 miles
beyond that point"
so you See," added Mr.. MacWhite, cts better
to tell the truth in the beginning"
On to Spring Hats
NOW sudden jump by me to spring hats.
After all, they are not SO far from interna-
tional affairs On the contrary, their twists
and qu1rks reflect the goingson of the rest Of
the world. For that reason wish the map of
Europe would settle down and behave itelf I
cannot face the new millinery. Even less can
I face myself in one of those triple mirrors when
I have on my weak head chapeau that ex-
presses the turmoil in the world.
This column, heaven knows, is so adaptable
that 1t has no backbone. In one days printing
it breathes the spirit of the Nazi the Communist,
the young Republicans, the New Deal and P v.
McNutt. But it cannot make over its profile to
suit spring millinery.

BABCOCK RAPS
'REORGAN|zING'

If Congress passes in full the
Presidents Government reorgani.
zation bill, this country will re.
turn to the same kind of patron
age the Continental Army fought
against at Valley Forge and
Bunker Hill.
That is E. Claude Babcock' S
opinion.
Last night the president of the
United Civil Service Employees
madeya scathing attack upon the
measure contained in the bill
which would place the civil service
administration under one man.
Babcock spoke in a forum of
the Women's Democratic National
Council. He said:
This isn't today's problem.
It was talked over wnen the Con-
stitution was written. We're
going to talk it over, and our
sons and grandsons are going to
talk it ovel."

advice to young diplomats who hope to get on
In other peoples worlds?"
Simple and Pleasant

"Life in this country has been simple and always
pleasant. But if you're asking me to talk from
observation I'd say there's only one rule for
modern diplomats: Lay all your cards on the
table,

The old days of secret messages by special

This money must have a sense of security that,

unemployment is due to such fear.

Regained by
Countess

Countess Sarah Beecher de
Luppe, granddaughter of a for
mer Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court and niece
of a former ambassador, today in
United States District Court re-
gained the American citizenship
which she lost on May II, 1922,
when she became the bride of the
French nobleman, Count Jeane-
Bertrand De Luppe.
In the simple repatriation cere-
mony before Justice F. Dickinson
Let's, Countess de Luppe at the
same time renounced her title,
although she will soon return to
France and her husband and their
four children. The laws of this
country forbid an American citi-
zen to assume a foreign title.
Countess de Luppe's grand
father was the late Chief Justice
Melvill w. Fuller, according to
Attorney Benjamin M. Minor, who
accompanied her to the court
house today. Born in Buffalo in
1896, the repatriot was visiting
her uncle, Hugh C. Wallace, then
American ambassador to France,
when she met Count de Luppe.
She has been in this country
for several months on a business
mission, Mr.. Minor stated, and
will soon return to France.

U,S,FORCEWEAK,
M'ADOO'S VIEW

Flouting the contention that
this country's geographical posi-.
ton renders it immune to attack,
Senator William G. McAdoo, of
California, speaking here last night
in the seventh annual coast-to,
coast radio rally of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, urged an ade.
quate national defense program
as the surest means of keeping
out of war.
The address was delivered at
the National Press Club ballroom
where local members of the vet,
Grams organization met at a ban.
quet in honor of their national
commander, Scott P. Squyres.
Senator McAdoo cited as the
chief reason for our entry into
the World War the belief among
other nations that the United
States was unprepared. He de-
clared that If this country in 1917
had had a navy strong enough to
take command of the seas, we
would never have been involved
in the World War"
Squvres also advocated a pre-
paredness program, declaring taht
the best insurance against war is
"a national defense program that
will discourage the attacks of any
single nation or any combination
of nations"
