OF course, there is no politics

WPA figures reveal that 564,-

F.D.R. Canadian Speech

NDON, Aug. 18 Q.N.S0.
Pre- Roosevelts' address
promising to protect Cana d a
against domination by any other
than the British Empire created
tremendous sensation in London
today-in official circles as well as
among the general public.
ewSpapers devoted large
amounts of space to the Ameri-
can Presidents speech and all
shades of British opinion hailed
it as an historic declaration Of
Anglo American friendship.
WARNING TO WORLD
1t also was regarded by Britain
as a clear warning to the world
that the democracies-esQecially
the English-speaking democracies
are standing together.
A cautious note, however, was
stressed by some organs of Brit
ish opinion, which warned their
readers not to read too much into
the speech. f
It was pointed out that al
though the President stated Amer
lea would suffer from the back
wash of a great world disturbance.

DUNLAP BLAMES
HIGH OFFICIALS

ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. 10 G.N.SO.
The flat charge that Federal Off
cials more powerful" than direc-
tors of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation forced his resignation
as Atlanta counsel for the RFC,
was hurled today by Edgar B.
Dunlap, campaign aide OF Senator
Walter F. George.
Referring to his wired resigna-
ton yesterday which he said was
demanded because he refused to
cease actively working for the re-
election of Senator George, Dun
lap asserted:
"It is very evident that the
pressure on the Reconstruction
Finance corporation to purge me
continued from other and more
powerful sources until finally
they liquidated me-"
Dunlap made no direct refer
ence to President Roosevelt who
urged Georgia voters to reject the
senatorial aspirations of Senator
George and, instead, elect United
States District Attorney Lawrence
Camp.

Main Reason

OEVERAL who have read ad-
~ vance copies have gained the
idea that the main reason for
labor peace in England and
Sweden may be that both en-
ployers and employees are or
ganized collectively and deal
with each other with restraint
and fairness, the employers with
out spies and the employees
without Communists.
Last year, the President sent
a commission to Europe to study
cooperativeS. Nothing came of
that either. Next years COM
mission probably will study the
comparative kick in French
wines and the more complete
relaxation offered by Siestas on
