GUIDE BOOK
Retail Advertising,

A guide for retail advertising

s. P. Muchmore, assistant direc-
tor of the Washington office, an
nounced today.
The book, he said, will be dis
tFibuted through the 81 bureaus
located in various cities adding:
"It has been checked for &C
curacy by retailers from coast

tific and educational authori-

The Guide, Mr.. Muchmore de

Stronger Foreign Policy

INTERNATIONAL and isola-
i ZIONIST authorities have been
re-reading Mr.. Roosevelt's lately
sharper pronomcements about
dictatorial aggression but are
unable to develop anything with
sufficient definitenesS to war
rant such public condemnation
or commendation.
The way Mr.. RooSevelt's as
sociates look at his Herald-Trlo-
une Forum statement, it means
he is going back to the line OF
his Chicago denunciation of die
tators, or almost back, say about
to Cleveland. They are inspiring
interpretations that a stronger
foreign policy is developing.
Senate isolationists cannot
get that out of FDR's words. AS
they read the remarks, the Presi-
dent pats the furies on the back
in alternating paragraphs Cap
proving the Munich peace) while
kicking them in intermediate
paragraphs.
1t is just possible both inter-
pretations may be insignificant.
What Mr.. Roosevelt seems to be
leading up to is a demand for
revision of the neutrality act to
give him greater powers at the
forthcoming session of Congress.
