PRELUDE TO STORM.

Be patient for this little moment now
Before the rumOr of rain,
While the silver underSideS of the
leaves
Flash in a quickened wind
And the color of the sky falls
From bright steel to ash;
Be patient in these deep canyons Of
streets
While papers ascend in the gale
And the wind blows cooler from
somewhere
Far beyond the city walls;
soon will come the first splash of
flat drops
And the good smell Of wet dust,
The whispered speech of summer
rain to leaves
And answer of the leaves to rain.

to the time when it must readjust
its economic policies or face loss OF

The barter system imposed by ag-
gressor nations on those that they
subjugate IS regarded by President
Roosevelt as one Of the threats
that might compel this country to
make a choice among three courses,
friends of the executive said:
Erect a Chinese wall around
the country as far as trade is con-
cerned and attempt to live within
ourselves.

whose control of the labor market
