An Inside Picture sof
Financial and Polit-
ical America

WASHINGTON-The policy
of "appeas >nt" has blown
up before anybody at Wash
ington learned what the word
meant or how to spell it.
The inside explanation is that
President Roosevelt, even
though utterly sincere, could
not reverse a 6-year trend
overnight by few gracious
gestures and promises.
While he was promising not to
hurt private enterprise, the house
was considering measure ap-
propriating 100000 for con-
struction of competing. utility lines
in the Bonneville area. Assistant
Attorney General Thurman Arnold,
behind the doors of house SUBJ
appropriations committe. was beg
ging for sensa tional enlarge
ment of the antitrust division
though with scant success.
Roosevelt himself responded to
hostility toward boosting the debt
limit by demanding retention of
authority to issue three billion in
greenbacks, which he called nec-
essary Club in the closet" Lastly,
he passed out word that tax de-
torrents to business expansion
would not be strapped.
Though Tommie Corcoran had
finger in the swift shift from right
to left again, entire blame cannot
be assessed against the president.
Various private interests. notably
the stock exchange crowd. tried TO
take advantage of the White House
to rush Roosevelt too far to the
right too soon.
Other groups let IL be known
that they would not cooperate
and sat back. So the appeasers
went on another sit-down
strike.
The presidents very private re-
quotation of his gesture toward
labor liberals-the Barley amend
ment TO the national defense bill
furnished an advance tip on the
nature of the forces which may
some day drive him into the arms

TUESDAY FIRST
DAY OF SPRING

It's just as we'll Tacomans were
a little previous in their celebra-
ton of spring Saturday and Sun
day, when overcoats and hats
could be left at home and auto
tops put down for the first time
this year.
Because when spring officially
starts. Tuesday morning a minute
before 7:30, the weather bureau
has good reason To suspect that
umbrellas and zippers may be the
most suitable garb.
Increasing cloudiness eAst-
ward, unsettled conditions in the
west portions. probably rains on
the coast. moderate temperature
and increasing southeriy wind Is
the forecast for March 81. OPEN
ing day of the vernal season.
A highly normal spring day
will be only fitting in such
normal year as 1889 has been up
to now. Weatherman Meyers re-
ported Monday morning that pre-
cipitation has run only .43 of an
inch short OF average. Sunday
was rainless, with maximum
temperature OF 81 degrees, mimi
mum OF 46.

have never learned to swim, due to
fear of the water, to overcome
that fear"
There are few sports that every
person may indulge in. Swimming
is one of these sports. 1t not only
offers an excellent opportunity for
exercise, but it also is great health

GERMAN LEADERS

No Break Unless Forced to It By Strong Refer-

BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Berlin, Jan.' n.'4-(UP)-Responsible Na1 quarters today asserted that ut terances before the United States Congress might determine the fu- ture of relations already close to the breaking point-between the United States and Germany.
 They awaited President Roosevelt's speech on the state of the nation and the remarks of members of Congress for an indication whether relations with the United States would be- come further strained. The iInplica- ton in Nazi circles was that hostile remarks before Congress might force" break in relations, unless the United States government should disavow any violent attacks on the Reich.
 The speech by MT. Roosevelt was of particular interest to leading Nazis.
 No Break Unless Forced
 We would not break relations un- less the United States forces us," a Na1i spokesman said.
 Nazi officials summed up their at- titude with it is up to the United States not us," admitting that Ger inan-American relations were close to the breaking point.

REVOLT AGAINST
 CHAMBERLAIN

London, Jan. 4.-(UP)-A new at tempt to organize a revolt against Prime Minister Neville Chamber lains' foreign policies will be in- augurated tonight at a private meeting of members of all political parties.
 It is the aim of the sponsors to organize 100000 people in new po- litical group pledged CD to strengthen the defense program; t2) to apply a firmer foreign policy.
 Leaders of the movement include Duncan Sandys and Vernon Bart lett, members of the House of Commons: Randolph Churchill; Lady Violet Bonham- Carter; Jules Menken. former secretary to David Lloyd George, and H. Liddell Hart, well known writer on military topics.
 The fact that Sandys is Winston Churchill's son-in-law and that -Randolp Churchill is his son might indicate that the dissident conser- vative leader was not iinsympathetic to the new movement.
