Embargo Debate May
Clarity Issues in Public Mind

Reaction to Conference
Is Favorable to President

: Inc general reaction to the con.
ference with congressional leaders
appears to have been very favorable
70 the President. The public Thought
on inclusion Of former Governor
Landon Of Kansas and Col Frank
Knox OF Illinois, Republican NOM
mees for the presidency and vice
presidency in 1896, however. was
quite different. Mr.. Roosevelt ad.
vertlsed the invitation to these gen.
tlemen to the conference as evil
oence OF his desire to adjourn poll
'ucs. That ballyhoo did not take
mold very well. Many observers
wondered how the President figured
mat Messrs. Landon and Knox could
nave anything to say about national
policy which Is the exclusive re-
sponsibilty Of congress. They were
defeated, discredited as leaders, BY
the voters in 1896. Thus, critics
suggested that Mr.. Roosevelt-with
politics adtourned-had played an
exceedingly smart brand of politics
and Messrs. Landon and Knox
swallowed the bait in the fashion of ]
amateurs. The President has put
the whole Republican party on the
spot. with the assistance Of its mem
Ders,, and there are signs that a
Republican effort will be made to
offset the move.
Now, there IS another thing CROP
ping up. Beneath shouts Of pariot-
Ism and declarations that we must
avoid getting into the raging mad
ness overseas, there is a feeling that |
congress ought to remain on the
lob straight through the winter.
The determination Of the President

To refer again to Lord Balfour,s
statement. it can be said that he
foresaw exactly what has happened
in the United States. It is neces-
sary only to recall that all of the

which We have passed since the

Mr.. Sisk's fault that the picture is so
good, though due credit must be
given to John Farrow, who directed
it, and to the good script and excel
lent cast.
For Mr.. Sisk had ideas about
pictures. He thinks that it is more
important to have a good story and
a group of actors who really can
act than it is to spend lots Of money
on picture, achieving spectacular
effects. II you remember "The In

you'll see what he means.
He didn't have stars for Give

wouldn't allow it. So instead he
engaged Joseph Calleia, Lucille
Ball, Wendy Barrie, C. Aubrey

plot, dealing with the forced land
ing of an air liner in a jungle and
the effect on the passengers, wasn't
