amendments to the Wagner act, as
proposed by a special house COM
mittee, would practically repeal the
law" It was good bet that the
house would kill all the amend
mentS.
WeLLes Junket
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles continued marching through
the chancellories of Europe in an
attempt to dig out "the present
phase of the European situation. I"
Neither he nor anyone else could
really dig it out, because the Euro
pean situation was more perplex-
ing than anything the world has
seen in 20 years (see EUROPE).
Arriving in Paris after visits at
Rome and Berlin, Mr.. Welles
lunched and dined with President
Albert Lebrun, Premier Edouard
Daladier and many lesser states
man, receiving his baptism of fire
when anti-aircraft batteries sounded
off against a Nazi reconnaissance
plane. He heard the same old
terms: ID No peace so long as
Hitlerism reigns in Germany; (2)
liberation of Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia; 90 guarantees for the Sc
curity of peoples and the integrity
of all nations
Next stop was London, where he
was closeted with Foreign Minister
Viscount Halifax. Expecting to dis
cover nothing there, Mr.. Welles
nevertheless had important bust
ness: Cd to caution British leaders
that war measures such as inter-
ference with U. S. mails and ship
ping were having an adverse effect
on U. S. sympathy for the allies;
(2) to buy six suits of clothes from
a Hanover street tailor. In view of
the utter confusion in which diplo-
macy found itself overnight, observ-
ers guessed Mr.. Welles would have
to visit Paris and Rome again.
Meanwhile, back in Washington,
newsmen camped on the state de-
partment's trail seeking verifcation
of the rumor that U. S. Ambassador
Laurence Steinhardt had been re-
sponsible for the Russo-Finnish
peace talks. Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull denied it, but other admin
istration sources limited that Mr..
Steinhardt might, in an unofficial
capacity, have paved the way for
Finland's latest delegation to Mos
cow. Said White House Secretary
Steve Early: There's absolutely
nothing that we can say about the
situation"

SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN

One of the most effective speak
ers in the house is Rep. Writ Court
ney, Tennessee war veteran, who
won his seat only last fall in a
special election. Three weeks later
he startled the chamber by making
the best speech of the neutrality
debate.
During his whirlwind election
campaign Courtney amply demon
strated his gifts as a silver-tongued
orator. His opponent was Mrs.
Clarence Turner, widow of his pred
ecessor.
1t was tough spot for a Southern
gentleman. To get elected Court
ney had to challenge Mrs. Turner's
qualifications for the office. At the
same time, he couldn't assal a
woman. This was the way he met
the problem:
Ladies' and gentlemen: I find
myself in very embarrassing po-
sition running against this beauti-
full and gracious lady. My family
came from Virginia; my father
served under Lee; but, friends, have
you been in congress when it was
in session?
Sometimes there is bedlam
there. Sometimes the lie is passed
and sometimes fists fly. Imagine,
my friends, if you can, placing in
such situation this beautiful and
gracious lady whose heart is in the
skies with one who has gone beyond
the last horizon"
The voters imaginations broke
down, for Courtney won with a two
to-one majority.

licked from the start because the
party is split on these questions.
Many prominent Republicans and
big contributors have publicly sup
ported New Deal foreign measures.
The managers also reported that
in the coastal states, where Vanden-
berg is weakest, there is much pub
lie opposition to his 'let's go get
'em" stand on the Japanese. No
final conclusion was reached at the
conference, but it is significant that
since then Vandenberg has been ST.
lent about Far Eastern affairs.
NOte-The consensus of opinion at
the meeting was in favor of enter
ing Vandenberg in more state pri-
maries in opposition to Dewey. Most
of the managers reported that the
New Yorker, despite his lead in pop
ular polls, was losing ground with
local G. 0. P. leaders and news
paper men, with whom he had a
number of personal clashes during
his recent Western sorties.

NO GUN-RUNNER.

The protocol office of the state de-
partment ran into a novel war-born
problem the other day when David
Gray, new minister to Ireland, came
in to make plans for his departure.
Gray is tall, slender gentleman,
with a taste for hunting. He told
the protocol Office that he couldn't
be happy on the other side without
his sportsman's shotgun.
"But ] am going to Dublin by way

Storing Green Vegetables

Moisture and quiet cold air keeps
green vegetables most nutritious, it
IS reported to the American Chem
ical Society. When so stored, vege-
tables are much better protected
against drying and whiting. Fresh
vegetables are living organisms,
and as they wilt they sicken and
die, and their cell walls tend to
break. Under such conditions the
vegetables are less able to retard
the destruction of their vitamins.

MEXICO:
Oil Settlement

In March, 1888, Mexico incurred
the i'll will of many government
by expropriating the oil properties
held by II U. S., British and Neither
lands companies. Since then the
companies themselves and their
governments have tried in vain to
reach a settlement. Mid-March
brought first indication that Mexico,
whose oil has been unwelcome on
the world market, was ready to
come to terms. From Mexico City
came reports of settlement with
the Sinclair Oil company, whereby
Mexico would pay for appropriated
property with 100000 barrels of oil
(market value is about $1,000, 000).
With the impasse broken, Is other
unhappy companies also hoped
settlement was near.
INTERNATIONAL:
Bloodshed and violence, which made
headlines in Europe, also made netos else
tOhere:
Argentina
Alleged vote frauds in Buenos
Aires province caused President Ro-
berto Ortiz to supplant Gov. Manuel
Fresco by a federal administrator.
When the ouSted National Demo-
cratic party threatened to recoup
its position with force, President Or
tiz declared martial law. Tear gas
was used to dispense a crowd out
side the provincial capitol at La
Plata. After several days expert
ence indicated the government had
a strangle hold, the ousted govern
ment apparently decided to abandon
force in favor of political action.
Palestine
To stave off Arab-Jewish violence
during the European war, Britain's
cabinet announced restrictions
against purchase of Palestine land
by Jews. Though Jews protested,
the parliament in London backed up
the cabinets action. When word of
this action reached Palestine the
Jerusalem Jewish national institu-
tons declared a general stoppage of
work. Ten thousand paraded through
the streets, giving British police a
tough battle.
China
Mid-March found Japan's army
driving against Chungshan, birth
place of China's famed Sun Vat
Sen, located south of Canton.
Meanwhile, as Japan completed
her thirty-second month of fruit
less war, new enemy appeared
for both Nipponese and Chinese
forces. Chinese Communists in
northwestern provinces, formerly
fighting for the Chinese government,
were reported drawing closer to
Moscow, leaving Gen. Chang Kai-
Shek out on a limb.
Entirely negative, meanwhile, was
Washington's response to the obvi-
Gus gestures Japan has been max
ing to win a new trade treaty with
the u. S. Gestures, which mounted
daily, included (1) Jap efforts to set
tie U. S. damage suits; (2) relaxa-
ton Of police restrictions at Shang-
hal; 80 conciliatory conversations
with u. S. Ambassador Joseph
Drew; (4) opening of the Yangtze
river to U. S. commerce. In the
senate, where sentiment for an en-
barge against japan was still
strong, 1t was felt no immediate rap
prochement is possible.
