they will do nothing effective.
But there is one nation which
might-RuSSia. She has a mu-
tually protective pact with the
CZechS.
If Hitler wanted to find out
how weak Russian diplomacy
might be in the Czech situation;
If he wanted to know to what
extent the purges had relaxed
Russian military morale-he
could have taken no more effec-
tive way than to throw a left
handed war-cloud over Russia
from the other side, to see what
she would do.
THE BRISTLING RESPONSE
l. in Moscow was received with
some satisfaction in the coun-
ellis of democracieS where the
game is known and recognized
for what it is.
It may make Hitler watch his
forthcoming step in Czechoslo-
vakia more carefully than any
thing done in Paris.

In a blast against New Deal for
eign policy, Republican National
Chairman John Hamilton today
declared that "dictatorial action
in the foreign field is no less alb
horrent to Americans than it is in
domestic affairs"
Speaking before the annual
Marion County Soldiers and Sail
ors reunion here, Hamilton warned
against this country sitting in
an international poker game Of
power politics"
"I thoroughly agree" said
the COP leader, that politics
should not be played with the
nations foreign policy. agree
that in times of crisis in inter
national affairs the people
should stand unitedly behind the
President and the Government.
But this does not mean that
the people should accept unques-
tioningly every action Of their
government in the foreign field.

smiled and said: Law enforce

Several informal conferences
have been held between movie

trade practices in the industry.
The Administration considered
these unsatisfactory. However,
you will note the D. of J. pro-
ceeded fairly this time and
brought equity instead of crimi.
nal proceedings, which is a
public indication that all is not
beyond repair.
If the Government does not
have its way, it will probably
use the OMahoney Anti-Monop-
oily Committee to investigate the
industry and throw it's support
behind the block-booking bill at
the next session of Congress.

ION THIRD Term
Challenges Party Foes
in Speech

U.N.S0 Third-term talk-cur-
rently the centerpiece of any polit-
ical conversation in the Capital
picked up volume and tempo to-
day as three more national fig
ures piled feverishly into the spec
ulative orgy over possibility Of
President Roosevelt seeking re-
election in 1910.
Secretary Ickes became the Sec
ond top rank Administration Of
ficial In recent days to express the
belief that there would no no
doubt what the answer 81 the
people would be" If Mr.. Roosevelt
decides to run for a third term.
MAY BE PROBED
WPA Administrator Hopkins
last week voiced the opinion that
80 per cent of the nations WPA
workers favor Administration poll
cies and might be expected to vote
for q third Roosevelt term. Hop
kinS' pronouncement may net him
a call before the Senate Campaign
Expenditures Committee, which
yesterday announced that the
WPA chieftain'S statement will be
looked into by the Senate body
tomorrow.
Ickes, substituting for a radio
news commentator, in broadcast
last night, made no direct refer
ence to a third term, but declared:
IF the reactionaries in the
Democratic party want a real
test of President RooSevelt's
strength with the people, I
suggest that they continue to
work for a situation that will
result in the people being given
an opportunity to vote directly
on the proposition of whether
or not they are for President
Roosevelt and his policies. There
can hardly be any doubt what
the answer Of the people would
be-"
CHARLIE MCCARTHY
At the same time, Senator Van
denberg, of Michigan, prominently
mentioned as a Republican pos
sibility for the 1910 presidential
nomination, wrote in a letter to a
constituent that he firmly eX-
pected Mr.. Roosevelt to try for a
third term because Il do not see
where he can find his Charlie Nc

enough to stand any show Of per
petuating the (Democratic) dy-
nasty"
Senator Claude Pepper Cd,
Florida, renominated on a 100
per cent New Dear' platform,
tartly accused Vandenberg of seek
ing to avoid the real issue" of
liberalism versus conservatism in
1910 by dragging in" the third
term question.
RED HERRING
THAT is just a red herring"
Pepper asserted. Senator Van
denberg would like to drag that
in as an issue, and make the
President fight his foes on those
grounds. Liberalism is the real
issue.
THE people will support what
Roosevelt stands for, and whom
he stands for, in 1910. I do not
believe Mr.. Roosevelt seeks a
third term, but he is vitally in
terested in preserving our liberal
democracy. If the Democratic
party follows Mr.. Roosevelt, the
Republicans will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated"

Free Meal Ticket

CONGRESS is having bank
~ night. Yes sir, it's this way:
All Capitol restaurants have
been closed for the summer ex-
cept a small concession on the
House side across from the regu-
lar restaurant. The maitre
d'hotel of this luncheonette has
been losing money. Last week
he had an idea. His punched
luncheon checks each bear a
number. He would put all used
checks into a hat and each Fri
day pull a lucky number. The
winner would be awarded a 50

If this does not work, it may
be necessary for Congress to
pass another special deficiency

Having slashed prices very substantially, from

manufacturers will not seek to modify wage rates.
Officials Of the United States Steel Corporation

by no Presidential pleadings. It was instituted
