The fact is that conditions OF
travel to and from Canada for
American citizens are entirely
unchanged by the decision. To
get back into the United states,
the motorists simply have to
prove that they belong to the
Elks of Columbus. Ohio, to the
Masons of Philadelphia, or to
the X. of c. of Boston. Even

President Roosevelt will run
for reelection next November
under a heavy handicap which
did not weigh him down either
in 1882 or 1886. That is the
unfriendliness, If not the hostil-
ity, of the working press at the
nations capital and elsewhere.
Perhaps it is irrelevant for
a writer to discuss such ques-
ton. but the realistic fact is
that it is a political potential.
Reporters and commentators are
supposed to record solely the
facts. but they are human and
may see facts in different lights,
depending upon their emotions.
Four and eight years ago they
loved and admired FDR, even
though many of their bosses
didn't. Now-for obvious rea-
sons-they have lost their ador-
alton and their admiration.
To put it automatically.
Roosevelt had about 80 per cent
of the Washington press corps
on his side even four years ago.
Today it is doubtful whether
he captivates 10 per cent. Aside
from the kind of reporting they
will do under their changed at
titude. the psychological effect
on FDR himself will be detri-
mental.
It is much easier to hit the
high notes before an admiring
journalistic audience than it IL
before disillusioned bunch Of
reporters.

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JULY 81

Adverse aspects appear to
dominate today. Weather con-
ditions may be trying to nerves
and tempers. The configuration
encourages discomfort and even
rebellion. Women may be sensi-
tive and easily irritated.
Heart and Home: Under this
sway household arts should focus
attention. The preservation OF
fruits and vegetables should en-
gage housekeepers. Thrift, so
long recommended. now will pre-
pare for coming months when
food will be much discussed and
there will be imperative demand
for a sharing of our American
abundance. The cost of living
In the United States will increase
greatly in the fall.
Business Affairs: Unemploy-
ment will be reduced at this time
when government projects absorb
trained men and women. PEN
sions for the aged will be wisely
arranged and relief will be care
fully distributed. Higher prices
for necessaries and bargains in
luxuries win be prevalent as the
autumn progresses. Building will
continue to be widespread in the
East and West. A disaster that
destroys much property will
stimulate activity in the West
and Middle West, it is foretold.
National Issues: Criticism Of
men who WELD authority will be
common at this time when evil
suggestion is prevalent in new
propaganda methods. Partisan
principles will be forgotten early
in the autumn by an event which
encourages coalition in politics
and cooperation in all industries.
As federal funds are poured out
for the safety Of the nation. mis-
Judgment and harsh interpreta-
tons regarding the motives Of
public men will be broadcast.
international Affairs: As the
modern world is remade much
that was superfluous in the old
civilization will be discarded.
Through agonies and disasters
Europe is to survive for period
in which men will learn the
meaning of true democracy.
Since the rule Of dictators is TO
be brief there may be temporary
restoration OF q monarchy or
two, but government by the peo-
pie will prevail after time.
Persons whose birthdate II Is
have q year Of ups and downs.
There should be fair financial
returns, but changes may be
troublesome. Deception in new
partnerships may be encount-
cred.
Children born on this day may
be clever and energetic, but self
willed. They should be wisely
guided. for they viii have splen-
did possibilities.

strategy sums up to an effort
to make this fight a clear-cut
one between reaction las repre-
sented by Willkie) and progress
sivism.
This years Democratic plat
form is a most uncompromising
New Deal document. 1t defends
all the New Deal measures in
strong terms.
The New Dealers profess TO
see Willkie as the incarnation Of
reaction. They are planning their
campaign on that basis.
Lastly - The Democrats will
mention that Willkie is an ex-
Democrat himself, though they
probably won't emphasize this
much. And they probably won't
dwell very long on the familiar
story OF the closed banks and
breadlines of 1882. Their speak
ers tried that at Chicago and it
fell awfully flat.

These funds peck of very hot potatoes. The

HELPING THE FARMER

Editor The Times: AS / men.
toned in my last le.,er, the
farmer received more money for
his products 30 years ago than
ne gets today. and the manufac-
tured goods that he bought
could be purchased for less
money. What chance has the
farmer?
Now today the hourly money
wage in industry is three times
as high as 1t was 80 years ago.
And yet We hear people say that
the solution for our troubles is
that more people go to farming
for a living. They do not know
farming; neither do they know
what makes the wheels 60
around.
Many politicians have been
telling the farmers during this
period that by raising the hourly
wage in industry and govern
ment. it will automatically raise
the prices of the farmers prod
ucts. This is how they have
humbugged the farmer. 1t is
this kind of leadership that
causes people to lose faith in
democracy. Has 1t raised the
prices of the farmers products ?
1t has only raised the cost OF
living and the cost of farming
for the farmer. 1t Is only nat
ural that it should.
The farmer to be on parity
with labor in industry should
receive two times as much
money for his products. A
farmer may have $4,000 in
vested in farm, and he will
have to be a good manager and
work hard If he can make as
much money as a factory work.
er. ] say the farmer has not
been represented in government.
1t is time that the politicians
talk a little common sense. or
We will go down like the coun-
tries of Europe.
