make the world so interdependent
that 1t couldn't afford war and that
international hatred would be fiuxed
in the world trade stream, once you
got 1t going.
Here's Mr.. Grady, after all these
years. translating hopes into deeds as
he bats for Secretary Hull in the
Anglo-American trade negotiations at
Geneva. This will be the ten-strike
OF trade agreements If 1t comes of,
the nub of the Hull policy being at
stake here. Mr.. Grady Is head Of the
division Of trade agreements Of the
Department of State. Casual table
talk doesn't often work out like that
but then there was nothing casual
about the fervor and belief Of the then
obscure Mr.. Grady.
It impelled him to Join the faculty
OF international trade and become
dean Of the College Of Commerce Of
the University of California and made
him the American member Of the
League Of Nations committee studying
raw materials and their world alloca-
ton. He also became a member of
the Economics Committee Of the
League and a writer and lecturer on
trade and commerce at various uni
versities.
As I remember his earlier point Of
view, and 1t seems unchanged, he be-
lieves that the gradual erosion of tariff
barriers and the stimulus of trade on
the basis of specific, particularized and
localized interests will break down the
major incentives to war.
He Is native of San Francisco,
educated at st. Mary's University and
at the Catholic University Of Wash
ington. He moved out into the world
current Of trade negotiations through
the San Francisco Chamber Of Com
merce, for which he was trade ad-
wiser. He is the author of many books
and treatises in his field and has con-
Quoted exhaustive research In inter-
national trade relationships.

hands q commission to Q politician
for any ONCE there will be natural
inquiry as to whether he is doing
this rs President or as head of the
Democratic party" But while there
would be tendency to accept most
appointive positions in the Federal
service as patronage" the innovation
which Mr.. Roosevelt has introduced
Is that Federal judgeships now have
become part of the political pap of
his regime Lifetime jobs are handed
out to deserving members Of the party
irrespective of whether they live in
the districts where they are to serve
as judges.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his audience he
realized he was breaking precedent
and he seemed to glory in the doing
Of it. But the precedent raises many
grave questions as to whether the
Federal judiciary isn't being packed
with politicians whose avowed par
tisanship will break down faith in
the Federal judicial system. And some
day the President or the head of the
Democratic party" may decide to call
all the people on relief together as
he travels across the country and
personally hand them their checks.
Certainly under the theory that it is
Mr.. Roosevelt's money and his own
favors being dispensed it would create
no surprise to find him on the stump
further emphasizing the power Of
the Chief Executive to give offices,
funds and contracts to members Of
his Federal and State political
machines.
