AS F. D. R. hasn't explained
what's come over him, he opens
wide the foodgates of speculation;
and, whether the White House
knows it or not, the guessing is in
full blast. Is it isolationist jitters,
such as overlook him after the
brave quarantine" speech at Chi
cago in October, 1887? Is he re-
luctant to check the third-term
tide in mid-channel? Does he
hesitate to antagonize Congress
lest the trade agreements policy
be wrecked? Is he afraid the
Democrats possibly paramount
1910 issue-"We kept you out of
war"-may blow up? Is there
some incredible fear of offending
Soviet Russia or incurring Stains
displeasure? In face of Mr..
Roosevelts irresolution, he subjects
himself to suspicious like those just
enumerated, however unfounded,

Keeping Out of-HonOr.
Withholding financial aid from
Finland or allowing 1t to be used
only for corn. cotton or confetti, in
stead of automatic rifles, field
artillery and bombing planes, may
keep us out Of war, but it will also
keep us out of honor and self-re-
spect. Far worse, it may keep Fin
land out of victory, or at least Grip
pie her fatally, just as victory ap-
pears within her grasp. And
should that happen. events may
prove, more swiftly than the Sem
ate thinks, that American con-
nivance in the Czecho-slovakiza-
ton and Polandization of Finland,
with Sweden and Norway next on
the list. brought Communism to the
Atlantic Ocean, with the democra-
cies of the Americas as the Reds
next stop. Has Mr.. Roosevelt en-
tirely forgotten his words at Chi
cago-"If these aggressions and in
humanities increase, let no one
imagine that America will escape,
that 1t may expect mercy, that this
Western Hemisphere will not be at
tackled, or that 1t will continue to
carry on the ethics and arts of
