Mr.. McNutt, in general, is for the New
Deal objectives. But the security admin
istrators speeches are confined to pleas
ant-sounding generalities, as BELTS a
candidate. AS Governor of Indiana, Mr..
McNutt did tax ruthlessly to bring State
finances under control and he gained the
support of the States farmers. His stand
on vital labor issues is uncertain.
Cordell Hull is conservative who be-
lieves in lower tariffs. But, as cabinet
member, the Secretary of State has not
entered into controversy on other New
Deal policies.
On the Republican side, there is more
clarity in the case Of Vandenberg and
Taft, but very little clarity concerning
the ideas Of Dewey or Bricker.
Senator Vandenberg has consistently
opposed most of the New Deal. He is an
isolationist in foreign policy and yet one
who believes that domestic problems will
gradually solve themselves if left alone.
Senator Taft is not an isolationist in
foreign policy. He is a strong advocate
of Federal economy through reductions
in relief expenditures. The farm prob
lem admittedly stumps the Ohio Senator.
Organized labor probably would not be
enthusiastic concerning his views.
Mr.. Dewey and Mr.. Bricker are COM
plete question marks.
The prospect now is that war abroad
will do little to detract from the inten-
sity of the fight for power that will be
fought out in the United States in the
year ahead. Stakes in that fight are
high. not only for the parties involved,
| but 1oe the country ksolS.

The earlier books Of Finland were Of q
devotional character. That has been the
experience Of nearly all countries. But
in 1885 the Kalevala was published. This
is a great historical legend Of Finland,
an epic poem, the metrical form of which
was adopted by Longfellow in his Song
Of Hiawatha." From then on Finnish
book creation flourished, the native
tongue outrunning the Swedish, which
had been the chief vehicle. Today four
times as many books are published in
the country IN Finnish - In Swedish,
and six times - many are sold.

Local People Will
 Attend Benefit ShouU

Mrs. John s. Dye, Mrs. Leaven- worth P. Sperry and Mrs. Alexander J. Thomson of this city are among the patronesses for the performance which Ruth Draper will give in New Haven on Thursday evening, Jan- uary 26 for the benefit of the New ington Home for Crippled Children. Many local people are planning to attend the performance.
 Mrs. F. Goodwin Smith of Hart ford, chairman of the appeal com- mittee of the board of directors, stated that Miss Draper, who is keenly interested in the work of the institution, is donating her services.
 It has been some time since a Connecticut audience has had an opportunity to enjoy Miss Draper's inimitable character sketches and because of the popularity of the star and the institution for which she is appearing, a large attendance is arl- ticipated. Reservations are now be- ing received at the New Haven theater.
 Miss Draper recently opened a New York engagement which won high acclaim from metropolitan critics and audiences. She will pre- sent five sketches and in addition there will be a short musical pro- gram by the Newington Home Choir and alumni.
 Expressing the hope that there will be @ large attendance, Mrs Smith pointed out that the Moving ton Home is not a state institution although 1t receives a small yearly grant from the state. It is sup. ported mainly by endowment gifts and an annual appeal for funds.

fend against game or even a slam in the major suits, in view of the strong bid made by West. Halfway measures did not appeal to him and even five diamonds did not seem to him sufficiently pre-emptive to pre- vent East and West from getting to- gether.
 The result was that South made all the tricks. With both oppo- nents void of diamonds it was not difficult to establish both the king and queen of clubs as high, and thus dummy's losing spade was discarded and South's losing spade ruffed.
 It is quite possible, even probable, that had North failed to make the
