WASHINGTON - Americas
1910 Christmas will be the big
gest and best since the boom
days of the twenties. All eco
nomic signs herald an unpreced-
ented upsurge in all lines.
Heavy industries. largely be-
cause of rearmament. are hitting
peak activity. The demand for
consumers goods, based on
steadily increasing purchasing
power, is growing every day.

records.
The American people have
gone ON purchasing spree.
Workingmen are making fairly
good money, and their wives are
spending 1t. The fat boys are
getting the biggest dividends
they have received since the era
of the Coolidge BOOM and they
are reinyesting their money In
rearmament stock.
1t may not last-Washington
economists estimate that arti-
fetal good times Will endure for
five years-but during that
period they believe the pickings
will be good. After that, in their
opinion, may come the deluge.
The administration is moving
slowly and obliquely but persist
emily for a severance of relations
with the Axis powers. J. Edgar

Bridges and the +. b. Is raids

tipoff.
President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Hull don't want to break
off formal relations with the
Germans. They don't want to
lose what sparse contact we
have with Berlin, where we have
not had an ambassador for sew
eral years.
Mr.. Roosevelt and MIR. Hull,
as the directors of our foreign
relations policy, want TO keep
hands off. But they have let
MIR. Hoover. also Harold l.
lckes, know that they would not
object TO actions or statements
which might provoke Berlin or
Moscow TO kiss Uncle Sam

administrative agen eies for
years. Jim Lands, former

dispairing mothers pleading for

wall OF want must be heard for

liberty and love will encircle

We are climbing the heights
and leaving preiudices far be-

the golden dawning of more
perfect day.
With willing hands and loyal
hearts we have taken the bur-
den of the weak because we are
worshipers of liberty and friends
of the oppressed. We have done
this because we believe that
happiness is the only good; rea-

intelligence and love we can
