From top-flight Democratic labor
quarters comes to this column the
suggestion that John L. Lewis is on
mighty thin ice In trying to lay
down the political law to the DEM
ocratic party or to anybody in it. It
is stated that virtually until the
dawn of the New Deal, the G. I. o.
czar rated as Republican. In
1928, according to the informant In
question, Lewis was active on behalf
of the Hoover and Curtis ticket, and
at one time was under serious con-
sideration by Hoover for the secre-
taryship of labor.

off Los Angeles Harbor outside the

the operation Of gambling houses

customers. So brazen have the ship
owners become that they insert full

Last minute Diplomacy.
Throughout the internationa,
tension of the last two or three
years the Roosevelt-H program
has been to withhold all advance
inklings of intended international
moves until Uncle Sam is really
ready to act. 1t is the policy OF
keeping the other fellow guessing
until the last minute and on the
anxious seat as to what this country
has up its sleeve. The imposition
of countervailing duties on German
imports and the withdrawal of Am
bassador Wilson from Berlin-ir
both cases without notice before
hand-were typical instances. Bolt
from the-blue diplomacy might be
another name for the method in
question. Toxic got concrete ex-
ample of it on July 26, when
