historical Inconsistency

History is anything but logical or
consistent. The Pilgrim fathers, for
instance, originally sailed for the
Hudson and found themselves at
the end Of their voyage on the Mas
sachusetts coast. Their destination
was the Hudson, then Dutch, be-
cause they had come from Holland.
whence they had sailed from Eng
land seeking religious freedom. But
in Holland, life was so good that
the little band Of Pilgrims, seeing
absorption imminent with so many
lintermarrying with the Dutch, de-
termined to keep themselves sepa-
rate by journeying to the New
World. ~ -

Observation-Disclosures
Roosevelt took nobody into his
confidence anent his surprise
appointment of Paul V. Nc
Mutt as federal security direc-
tor-nobody, that is, except
McNutt. The circumstances
surrounding the selection have
shocked political Washington.
FDR offered the job to the
Hoosierite out of a clear MONDAY
sky at the White House. Few
hours later the former Philippine
high commissioner conferred with
National Chairman Farley. Not
only did the latter not know OF the
appointment. but McNutt did not
see fit to inform FRD's political
adviser and leader. The incident
shows how complete is the
arrangement between Frank and
Jim, for the president realizes that
Farley has harbored grudge
against Paul ever since the 1882
convention at Chicago.
Nor did Roosevelt consult or
notify his immediate family. Three
days after the Roosevelt Nc Mutt
conference, the president took
Steve Early and Jesse II. Jones
for a cruise down the Potomac.
The RFc chairman bought Wash
ington newspaper early Sunday
morning at a small Maryland
town. and read OF sthe appoint

SENATORS KILL
BUSINESS BOOM
DECLARES +. D.
Sees Bad Effect From
Neutrality Decision;
Asserts All Europe
Preparing for War

HYDE PARK. n. y
President Roosevelt said to-
day that refusal of the senate
to act at this session on neu-
trahty has killed off a nice
little business boom and will
have an adverse economic
effect until next January.
Roosevelt, speaking at press
conference. again emphasized that
full responsibility for refusal to
revise the neutrality law must be
accepted by the senate.
The senate. he said. IL gam
hing against the possibility of
war this year. and the result
Of its refusal TO act will have
m adverse economic effect.
With the international situation
and its effects on this country
highly uncertain, the president
said. business men will hesitate to I
make commitments because they I
can have no idea OF what form a
neutrality bill will take II congress
acts on the issue when it meets /
again next January.
HOPES FOR THE BEST
Accepting the fact the senate |
will not act, Roosevelt said. all |
he can do now is pray there will .
not be another serious crisis in 1
Europe before congress meets
again. He said, however. that a
crisis alone would not force him
to convene congress for a special
session. pointing out that other
crises have come and gone without
developing actual war.
But, he said, from erery
capital IA Europe. withOpt ca
ception. this government has
receired Evidence of prepare
tons being made for an ecen-
tuality that those capitals be-
here to be fairly close. The
preparations, he said, appear
to be moring at a fast rate.
The president gave no indication
that he plans to take the issue of
neutrality to the country.
SIZES UP SENATE
There can't be any immediate
issue before the country, he said.
because groups in the senate have
prscluded any action until next
January.
He noted that at his conference
with Democratic-.a and Republican
senate leaders this week, he was
informed that 100 per cent Of sen
ate Republicans and about one
third of the senate Democrats
would support the movement TO Y
prevent vote on neutrality. =
Under senate rules, he said. such :
! large group could prevent action
md those groups must accept full :
responsibility for their decision
Seated in his study at his Hyde
Park estate, Roosevelt reviewed at r
tome length the White House con- q
ference.
MEETING \
The keystone of the neutrality u
program is repeal OF the provision n
or arms embargoes against bel s
