Genuine Danger of War,
But Not Immediately

Because of the necessity for avoid
ing wrong impressions which is a
vital thing in international relations,
President Roosevelt told the mill
tary affairs committee of the senate
confidentially something of the in
side story. believe he did right in
shielding those facts from general
knowledge for no one knows how
they could, or would, be distorted in
German or Italian newspapers.
But this air of mystery has back
fired in curious way. 1t has
aroused certain portions of the coun-
try into veritable frenzy-particu-
larly, some members of congress
and they have seized upon rela-
lively unimportant thing as their
weapon in striking at Mr.. Roose-
velt's foreign policy. They have
jumped all over the Presidents neck
about the sale of airplanes to
France, airplanes that were manu-
featured and are being manufac-
tured by private plane builders and
which are being sold for cash to
the French government.
1t is made to appear that this is
a terrible thing. The howlers are
saying that Mr.. Roosevelt has vio-
lated the spirit of the neutrality act
and that he should never have given
permission for the sale of the
planes. There are other charges
flying about, also, but they are I'M
important here.
have dug into the situation as
far as is possible, I believe, and
fail to get very much excited about
the whole thing. There is, of course,
the genuine danger of war, although
I am not convinced that Europe is
going to break out tomorrow. Some
time, probably, but not immediate
ly. Such clash of hopes and con-
victions and traditions and faith as
obviously occurs between the philos-
ophies of relationships and democ-
racies is bound to lead to use of
force but I think there is the prob
ability that 1t is further away than
this jittery feeling of the world now
indicates.

A New leaveninq AGENT


Some homemakers may feel
that it is too costly to purchase
such fancy breads outside the
home. And they may feel that
they cannot spare the time re.
quired for home baking. Such ar.
guments might have been valid in
the past. But not any more!
Recently a new kind of yeast
has been developed which makes
it possible to prepare a variety Of
hot breads at home-more quickly
than ever before. Thus. home bak-
ing follows the trend of the times
and becomes quick-baking.
One reason why modern home
makers have been reluctant to
make bread and rolls at home, |
believe, has been the difficulty of
obtaining leavening agent that
was both quick-acting and pos
sessed good keeping qualities.
Yeast is the most satisfactory
ieavening agent for bread and
rolls. Heretofore, only two types
had been available. Fresh, or
compressed yeast, and dried
yeast. Both of these products are
composed of yeast plants COM
oined with cereal.
Fresh yeast has higher mois-
lure content, however, and be-

President Has Authority
To Shape Foreign Policy

When it comes to foreign rela-
tons, however, the situation is en-
tirely different. The constitution,
wisely enough, provides that such
matters must be dealt with by the
President. It allows him the power
of negotiation but it curbs that pow
er by requiring him to ask congress
for declaration of war. In other
words, the President is provided
with authority to shape and conduct
the foreign policy, the dealings with
foreign nations, but he must have
the approval of congress, which rep
resentS the people, when the con-
GLIDING phases of those negotiations
are reached and the nation is about
to be bound.
That condition was arranged at
the outset of our nations history.
1t has worked well. The rights of
the people are amply protected.
Think for moment what the situa-
ton would be if our foreign poll
cies were in the hands of addle-
pated demagogues in the house or
the senate! I hazard a guess that
some of them would talk as long as
Hitler did the other day and create
just as much grief.
So, l firmly believe there should
be some secrecy about our foreign
policy and that the President should
have some liberties in working out
arrangements with other govern
ments. After all, any program that
he has must eventually be published
and debated by congress.

in that day this dessert was known.

dated 1869. Fruits, sugar, and
cream combined were placed in an

to have served it at social functions

AdoIescents Like Variety

One way to help growing girls
to be energetic is to encourage
them to eat some form of bread at
every meal. This will help to keep
up the fuel value of the diet at
very little expense.
Mothers must, however, guard
against loss of interest in bread
stuffs by various members of their
families, as a result of monotony.
Luckily, there is no reason why
this should occur in any home.
For it is possible to provide bread
stuffs in such a variety that the
same kind need not be served
twice in succession within the
space of one or two weeks.
You can add variety to the diet
by preparing bread from graham,
whole wheat or rye flour. Rolls
can be made from plain or sweet
dough. Some of the more popular
are Parker House rolls, sandwich
rolls, finger rolls, cinnamon buns,
butterscotch rolls and pecan rolls.

ducts. A heavy carry-over OF
dairy products from 1888 is
causing present low prices,
which should increase the con-
sumption of butter both for

said.

was an unpublished Saturday
night stag party in Washing
ton. The party was staged by
a potent Administration sup
porter recently appointed to
one of the top-rung Washing
ton jobs. The guests list was
made up of all the inner New
Dealers.
According to reports, purpose
of the party was to lay the
groundwork for a systematic
campaign to head off the con-
sentative trend of Congress.
When the campaign gets under
way more third-term talk may
be heard, as that is part of the
program - to stop the Garner
movement.
There was more behind the
White House dinner-conference
with business leaders than was
contained in the official eX-
PLANTATION offered the press.
Many things were discussed,
but the whole affair was care
fully staged for a single pur-
pose (Which was not told to the
newSpapermen). That purpose
was to head off amendment of
the National Labor Relations
Act and to forestall an inves-
legation of the Labor Board by
Congress. It was a move to re-
concile business men to an at
tempted adjustment of the labor
act problem through admins
trative changes rather than a
revision of the law.
In other words, those who
planned the conference believe
that if business can be zap
peased" with promises, there
will be no need for Congress 20
go ahead with its plan of ap-
peaSement by action.
Word comes from London that
the British government has
been testing its newest wrinkle

new in the legislative or tax
alton line turned up in this

ployed similar technique and
simply used business men as the

BY metric measure, Capitol
Hill and the White House are
only about a mile apart. But if
the distance could be measured
now on the basis of policies
and aims, it would show them
to be poles apart.
Differences now are being
Smoothed over in spots and the
wide breach is being kept out
of the headlines as much as
possible, but keen observers de-
tect a bitter conflict.
Here are a few of the major
issues on which the adminiStra-
ton and the Congress have
collided head-on:
/. Taxes: Congress wants to
remove some of the burdensome
tax load and thus stimulate re-
covery 10y permitting a more
natural flow of capital. The
White House (until a compro-
mise was worked out) was dead
set against any change, argu-
ing that taxes must be left
alone to finance the govern
ment spending schemes.
2. Foreign Affairs and Neu-
trality: Congress wants to
maintain a handS-off policy in
foreign troubles and to retain
some responsibility and con-
troll over foreign policy. The ad-
ministration wants to c%entraliZe
this authority in the hands of
THE President.
8. Labor Act: The Congress
men want to satisfy the public
clamor for amendment of the
National Labor Relations Act
but the New Deal he;mSmen are
determined to leave the pres
ent law on the books without
change.
4. Spending: Congress really
wants to curtail spending, but
the White House group thinks
spending must be continued.
The White House is unwilling
to concede that past spending
has failed to produce the de-
sired results, arguing that re-
covery is in sight and can be
reached with a continuance OF
the spending program.
AS observers see the struggle
from the defines, Congress
sional thought is being propelled
by Mr.. Average Citizen (who is
paying the bill).
Incidental to this situation
