Business

A Republican, Edward ]. Noble
built his confectionery business into
a mint called Life Savers before
President Roosevelt named him
chief of the civil aeronautics author
ity. Because he represents busi-
ness, also because he believes-un-
like many businessmen-that u. S.
industry can move forward under
current governmental regulations,
Mr.. Noble was too good a friend to
be left in the non-controversial field
of aeronautics. Result: He has been
named assistant to Harry L. Hop
kins, new commerce department
chief who is conscientiously trying
to make that traditionally dead-end
office into a vital aid to U. S. busi-
ness.
But Harry Hopkins is admittedly
trying to sell the New Deal to busi-
ness (though not without carefully
removing obvious stumbling blocks)
and he may have his eye on the 1910
presidential campaign. Hence Mr..
Noble makes good front man, "
and now the front man is himself
looking for front men.
At his first press conference in
the new job, Mr.. Noble gave U. S.
newspapers a want-ad for patriotic,

International

Though U. S. citizens have been
wont to decry Britain's vaccilating
foreign policy. events Of 1889 have
focused more than passing attention
on a similar problem at home: Does
Washington officialdom agree on a
sound, well-reasoned foreign policy?
Is such a policy reflected in COM
nonsense national defense?
Most Americans think not, though
by and large they feel alike about
Hitler and Mussolini, dislike war
and want no part in an arms race.
Yet informed Americans agree both
Germany and Italy were manhan-
died at Versailles, agreeing also that
the U. S. must have adequate" de-
fense, even if it means an arms
race. On the subject Of American
interference in foreign affairs there
is debate: One school prefers ira

Relief

His 1889 relief vote may be rec
ord on which many senator and
congressman will rise or fall next
election. Reason: Congress is de-
termined to outlaw the present sys-
tenn, substituting something closer
akin to state administration in which
states will also pay bigger share.
If the plan succeeds, fine; if not,
disgruntled relief clients could make
hostile constituents at election time.
Major idea is that of South Caro-
linas Sen. James F. Byrnes, who
boasts coalition support for meas

Act and Its Administration
Causes Widespread Criticism,

1t is, perhaps, as much because of
the terrible administration of the
law as from the inequities of the
loosely drawn law itself that the
criticism has been so widespread.
Hundreds of cases, coming before
the board, have left employers with
personal losses as a result of one
sided determinations. Labor unions,
affiliated with the American Fedora

Refugees

Patterned after Red Cross and
Salvation Army, the Friends Service
committee was formed in Phila-
delphia during the World war by
Quakers. An earlier Philadelphia
Quaker was Joseph Scattergood,
who in 1880 built a Quaker prepara-
tory school at West Branch, Iowa.
Closed in 1881 for want of funds,

making way for new arrivals.

group also resents President Roose-
velt's strong reiteration Of long
standing U. S. interest in Pan-Amer-
ican solidarity. The other school
discards silent isolationism as no
longer possible in a world of fast
communications where politicians
ride the same boat with foreign
tradesmen.
Until early April, President Roose-
welt had accomplished little by way
of clarifying foreign policy, thanks
partly to an impasse with congress.
Each White House plump for inter-
nationalisin had been followed by
congressional plumping for isolation
ism, until in one short week the
President apparently took the ball
from congress via three strokes that
made the U. S. citizenry conscious
of a definite interest in Europe's
fish kettle. First was the apparently
casual remark at Warm Springs,
where Mr.. Roosevelt promised Ito
return in the fall if we don't have a
war" Later he explained that I'VE"
meant western civilization, and that
the remark was actually planned to
give direction" to public thought.
Next, while congressional isola-
tionism began simmering, Mr..
Roosevelt told the Pan-American
Uniou's governing board that the
Western hemisphere is willing to
match force to force" against ag-
gression, in defense Of New world
institutions and independence. BY
this time congressional isolation was
boiling, but few hours later the
President delivered his biggest
stroke-a frank appeal for world
peace via diplomatic note to Hitler
and Mussolini. Its gist: The Presi-
dent would serve as intermediary
between dictator states and 81 ma
tions of Europe, North Africa and
Asia Minor. whose integrity he
wants them to respect. This would
lead to an International conference
for disarmament, economic settle
ment and at least 10 years of mutu-
ally guaranteed peace. Most fear
full quotation: PLAINLY the world is
moving toward catastrophe un-
less more rational way of guiding
events is found"
Congress held its breath awaiting
formal replies, too concerned for
reckless speech-making at the mo-
ment. Isolationism's cause seemed
defeated, yet even liberal interna-
tionalists began worrying lest the
u. S. be summoned to serve 1917's
purpose again, i.e., bring peace to
traditionally quarrelsome Europe.
Idaho's Sen. William E. Borah
wrote: This is not a war over the

In 1877 B. c., two Chinese astrono-

hundred years earlier an eclipse
scared the Medes and PerSians into
ending their five-year war. No such
consequences resulted one mid
April day when the sun, moon and
earth staged similar phenomenon.
