Mr.. Pittman roared on through the

fortune out of that and sundry min

man of the Foreign Relations Com

Why Shoot Him?
"Why shoot a man when you can

man, indorsing the hint of "finan-
cial sanctions" against world out
lawry in the Presidents address. He
readies his committee for action.
In Nome, Alaska, Mr.. Pittman was
charter member of the Ornery
Mems Club, organized at Tex Rick
ards bar. Years later, Ole Elliott,
Tex Richards partner, reorganized
the club in Tex's Northern Saloon in
Goldfield. I believe Mr.. Pittman's
affiliations were with the Montezuma
Club, down the street, but he was a
highly esteemed alumnus of the
Alaska chapter and he found en-
thusiastic "sourdough" backing in his
financial and political enterprises.

I'm the public concept of Sena-
tor Glass the qualities that prob
ably stand out most are his cour-
age and his belligerency in de-
bate. Though frail of health in
recent years, recourse to pungent
rhetoric, irrefutable logic and
extraordinary energy make him

spunky fighter, and, like most
men who dare to meet issues head

essentially generous and just.
The peaceful side Of his charac-

public, Is as rich and colorful as
his flair for combat. To old and
trusted friends he gives in full
measure the happiness that flows
from the best of human COM

Capitol and Nation-Wid according
to all early reactions from the mes
sage, is that the President, in star
ring defense as the paramount issue
now confronting the American
people, has risen to the heights OF
true craftsmanship. Relief of un-
employment is the Governments
inescapable duty. A balanced budget
is important, If not vitally necessary.
Continued aid to distressed agricul-
ture is urgent and unavoidable.
Ailing railroads need Federal sup
port. New Deal reforms, enacted in
a hurry and administered by over
jealous idealists, require revision.
But all and sundry of these desid-
erata, if they could be achieved over
night, would be utterly worthless
If they were to take place in a
United States incapable of protect
ing itself against external attack.
1t Is such thought, beyond the
shadow of doubt, which is at the
back of Mr.. Roosevelt's head in
declaring that "events abroad have
made it increasingly clear to the
American people that dangers with
in are less to be feared than dangers
from without" Throughout his
fortnight address the President
intimated repeatedly in one form
or another, that, however much
purely domestic questions clamor for
solution, what counts most just now
is the perpetuation of an America
in which people shall continue to
breathe the free air of a free
country" On ways and means to
make sure of that, Mr.. Roosevelt
bids Congress to concentrate before
all else. 1t will thus, in his judg-
ment, do first things, first"
Was it typographical error, or a
deliberate change in phraseology on
his part, that impelled the Presi-
dent, in the opening passage of his
message, to refer to "the state Of
the Nation" instead of to "the state
of the Union?" Section 3 of the
Constitution. defining the Presidents
duties, sets forth that ''he shall from
time to time give to the Congress
information Of the state of the
Union,' etc.
If Ambassador Joseph c. Grew
hadn't just asked for and received
permission to return to the United
States on leave, the probability is
strong that he would sooner or later
have been ordered to come to Wash
ington to report" on the situation in
Japan. BY deferring his departure
until after the current change in
government at Toxic, our seasoned
envoy will be able to give President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull an
up-to-the-minute account of just
what Japan's plunge into Fascism
means, as far as relations with the
United States are concerned. 1t is
roundly three years since Mr.. Grew
last visited this country-a period
during which Nippon's status in the
Far East has been vastly changed,
to say nothing of the outside world S
attitude toward her.
