The Jackson Day dinners of 1910
which passed into history last night
leave the Democratic picture as of
today embellished by the following
incidents:
President Roosevelt admitted that
he himself Is riddle-a third term
riddle-and made no effort to an
swer the riddle.
Two members of his immediate
governmental family, Robert H
Jackson newly appointed Attorney
General. and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace, both made speeches
in other cities in which they de-
clared themselves strongly for re-
nomination of the President Fed

McNutt declared that mo wonder

to have the President relinquish his
high Office

Generally speaking. the high-rank-
dents address last night maintained
that he had not closed the door
to his possible candidacy. Here and
there. however. were Democrats who
regarded his address as "valedic-

Gavagan Hopes 10 Cul
Labor Row Clause
From Lynch Bill
Expects to Act When
Measure Is Opened to
Amendment Tomorrow

Representative Gavagan. Demo
crat. of New York announced to the
House today he would move "at the
proper time" to eliminate from nj.
anti-lynching bill provision ex'
empting violence in connection with
labor disputes.
He made the announcement al
the start of debate on the measure
which would impose penalties or
peace officers who permit lynchings
and on the political subdivisions ir
which they occur.
The provision which Mr.. Gavagar
said he would attempt to strike ou,
says:
Lynching shall not be deemed
to include violence occurring during
the course of picketing or boycottint
or any incident in connection with
any labor dispute -.
Mr.. Gavagan probably will offel
mis- motion when the bill is opened
to amendment tomorrow.
C0nvenes Hour Early.
Only a handful of legislators were
present when the House convened
an hour early. at IL am. in ar
effort to complete six hours of de-
bate by nightfall.
Representative Wadsworth, one
of the few Northern opponents OF
the bill, told his colleagues it coulc
never be enforced. AS the opposi-
tons first speaker, Mr.. Wadsworth
was greeted by applause from
Southern members.
He branded the bill "a snare ane
delusion" A far better solution
of the lynching problem, he as
serted, is the program of education
already undertaken.
He pointed out the country had
100 or more lynchings annually JUS
a few years ago. In 1889. he said
there were only three.
The debate on the anti-lynchinl
bill was expected to vail nothing
more than to put the participant.
on record for political use.
Due to Pass Tomorrow.
The measure is certain of Hous,
passage, probably tomorrow. It wor
the right to consideration yesterday

Comparing the advantages and
disadvantages of superbattleships,
Admiral Stark remarked that while
a bigger craft obviously would be
superior to an individual smaller
ship, it should also be remembered
that there is some advantage IN
numbers.
"a ship can be in only one place
at time" he said, adding that there
had been an example of this fact
in the South Atlantic recently. He
apparently referred to the defeat Of
the Graf Spec.
Admiral Stark also told the COM
mlttee that the Navy planned to
obtain 200 more two-engine, long
range bombers of the type which
flew In formation of 48 from San
Diego to the Panama Canal last
year. Already $50 of these planes
have been procured or ordered.
He reported, too, that the Navy Is
experimenting with l8-inch guns for
battleships. .. ..
Its largest now are 10 inches.

Barley Doubts Vote
For Loans 10 Britain
Al Present Session
King Credit Measure

BY GARRETT d. HORNER.

A broad proposal for unrestricted
financial aid to Great Britain, I'M
derstood to be favored by high ad-
ministration ofiicials, was said by
Senate Majority Leader Barley to-
day to have no chance Of passage at
this session of Congress because 1t
would provoke lot Of debate"
Senator Barley said that 'if we
were going to do anything about
this it should have been introduced
long ago"
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah
introduced the measure in the Sem
ate late yesterday. Chairman Pitt
man Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, to which it was referred.
said committee consideration would
await reaction from the State De-
partment.
Secretary of State Hull indicated
at his press conference today he
would withhold public comment on
the proposal until the Senate COM
mittee had asked for his views. He
said he assumed the resolution
would be sent to the department for
study.
In line with this Governments
avowed policy of giving material
assistance to the British, the meas
ure would exempt Britain from
credit limitations of the johnson
and Neutrality Acts and sanction
direct loans by the Export
Bank.
1t also would empower the Presi-,
dent to further the national defense
program by negotiating for acquisi-
ton of strategic British island pos
sessions in the Pacific, thus pos
sibly opening the way for a deal
for air and naval bases in the Pacific
similar to those recently acquired in
the Atlantic.

It was cynicism, Mr.. Willkie said
at Detroit last night, that weak
ened democracies in Europe. and
he voiced a belief that I'VE, too, in
America have become infected with
cynicism."
II have observed a tendency on
the part of some people" he con-
tinued, ito sheer at the homely
virtues that made our American life
so abundant and forceful. I have
observed tendency, especially
among our young people, to dismiss
the moral and spiritual standards
of our American tradition. Our
young people are inclined to tell
us that those standards. in their
own words, are the bunk. You should
be alarmed about this. You should
be tense with anxiety about our
youth. If they are cynical, if they
are losing their faith, our democ-
racy is in the gravest danger.
1--WE can already see the be-
ginnings of this. Thousands of our
youth, who have lost their faith in
other people, have formed Com
munist groups and have received
encouragement from high places"

faith of one man in another been
fostered and developed by the pres

her available funds for purchases Of
vital war supplies here.
Originally, British authorities had
planned their purchases here in CO.
operation with France so that their
cash would hold out for three years
or more. Collapse of France has
increased the British burden ire
mendously, however, and it has been
estimated that credit would be
necessary for further British buying
here by next summer.
There was no immediate COM
ment at the White House, Stephen
T. Early, press secretary, told re-
porters this morning. President
Roosevelt faced questioning at his
press conference late this afternoon
on his attitude toward the proposal.
Welles Statement Recalled.
Administration policy of aid to
Britain was emphasized only Sat-
urday by Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles, who said in a speech
at Cleveland that he believed the
people approved giving "all material
support and assistance" to the Brit
ish lin what we hope will be their
successful defense against armed
aggression" He pointed out that
England's continued freedom con-
stituted a bulwark for liberty here.

FORMULATION of Christian Ideals Called Best Defense

The best defense against world

the Christian philosophy of St.
Thomas Aquinas.
This was the key note of the
sixteenth annual meeting of the
American Catholic Philosophical
Association. which is its final
session at the Hotel Statler today.
The keynote was sounded last
night in the address of the assoc
cations president, Dr. Francis F..

philosophy at Notre Dame Univer-
sity. Speaking al the annual ban
quet, Doctor Mcmahon said:
The great need of the world
today Is for resurrection OF

Metaphysics is the branch Of
philosophy which deals with the
ultimate nature and causes of
