The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-13

0AAA AASAASS w ~S~~~0Se S@~Ses to be sold to belligerents, al it taken out. Nye has told friends that he expects to get 30 names on his petition. And since he is an indefatigable worker he should get at least 20. Furthermore, Nye promises to filibuster all summer if necessary to prevent any re- vision of the Neutrality Act. Since he has quite a good-sized group of senators with him, this should be quite possible.
 Tragedy is that Secretary Hull easily could have secured Yves cooperation a year ago. The North Dakota senator was anxious to lift the embargo on arms to Spain, and had majority of the Senate with him. He was quite willing to make a bargain with the State Department whereby if it lifted the Spanish arms embargo, he would not oppose some of its ideas on general neutrality.
 But instead of doing this, Hull sent one of the hottest letters to the Senate in his entire six years in office, skipping Nye in the face.
 Now it is Yves turn, and since he has the support of Borah, La- Toilette, Johnson, Bone and sev- eral others, he may be able to block Hull's program.
 HULL AND THE KING
 Now that the King and Queen have come and gone. State Depart ment aides have dropped the se- cret that Carden Hull did not at all like the job of going to the Canadian border to meet the King and Queen.
 The Secretary of State mumbled and grumbled to those around him, but finally packed up his cut- away and grey striped trousers and got on the train to Niagara Falls.
 ROYAL FANS
 One groups of Americans who were strong for the king and queen were the U. s. reporters who accompanied them through out their North American tour.
 The correspondents were ef- fusively enthusiastic, described the royal couple as simple, kindly human beings with keen sense of humor and definite minds of their own.
 Most of the reporters voted the
 Queen the better public person.

 ness, but all were unanimous

 world affairs, they said. .. .. =.
 The neWsmen also were unani- nous that Canadian press and police arrangements were better than those on this side of the border.
 Another thing which impressed the correspondents was the snooty attitude assumed by the upper crust New York socialites attend ing the British Embassy garden party. This group including J. F. Morgan, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, ST., winthrop Aldrich and Mrs. ogden Mills, herded off by them selves and had nothing to do with the other 1400 guests.

 Henry Wallace is c versatile inc dividual. At recent press con- ference, he began by dodging questions on thet hird term. then jumped to the international cote ton conference. but really warmed up with a dissertation on child psychology.
