is confession of deep faith, summons to duty anc call to action W A 84
 It is a happy commentary on &American democ- racy that two months after of the btterest political campaigns in history there is parti- san division national issues On both sides dur ing the campaign there appeals to class prejl- dice There the deplorable spectacle of eggs and tomatoes being hurled at one of the candidates while both of them hooted and leered when they ventured into hostile territory
 Quite naturally the 22OOOOoO voters who sup ported Wendell l. Willke disappointed that their candidate did not win. But among the vast majority of Wikie supporters there is no resent ment that be detected because of the fact that President Roosevelt reelected for third term On the contrary there indications that many sincere Willke supporters are happy that Roosevelt won.
 This transition from campaign bitterness to national unity is emphasized by the almost univer- sal favorable reaction to the Presidents most recent nreside chat his address to Congress and yester- days inaugual speech.

the Government has a controlling interest" Some legal authorities interpret this as clear proof that Congress had no intention of in- cluding the government in the ban.
 They contend that it would be per- missible for federal lending agency, like the Export -IImport Bank, to extend credits to Britain without violating the Johnson Act. The question has never been tested in court. However, the Administra- tion has no intention of extending government loan without Congress sional approval.
 In private discussion President Roosevelt has voiced the view that giving war credits is a decision of such grave national moment that it should be made only by Congress. It will be necessary for Congress to consider the Neutrality Act as well as the Johnson Act, for the repeal of the latter alone would not be enough.

tons social season is swinging into the old glamour tempo.
 During the autumn, that unique group of women who make a pro- fession of running the big social functions of the town, was deeply depressed. They feared that the war would send this years business into the cellar.
 One debutante, Miss Louisa Clem- ent, gave the $500 which her grand mother had allotted for the coming out party to British aid. This was fine for Britain, but bad news for the social business.
 Then the tide began to turn. A fortnight after the election. Mrs. William Laird Dunlop staged the Black and White Ball. That broke the ice. War-born nervousness be- gan to disappear. Wavering mamas decided to go through with daugh- ters' parties after all
 And now restraints seem definite ly lifted and the parties are getting really lavish. Champagne is being uncorked with gay abandon, and the professional social secretaries are happily amazed Its going to be the gayest season in years" they say, "gayer than anything since the depression

WAR CREDIT BARRIERS

Mere repeal of the Johnson Act won't clear the way for financial aid to Britain. There is another hurdle that seems to have been generally forgotten Section ' of the revised Neutrality Act passed by Congress just a year ago.
 This clause extends the credit ban to all countries, regardless of wheth- CT they are in default or not, which have been officially declared to be at war. By it's language the section makes 1t unlawful for any person in the United States to purchase. sell, or exchange bonds, securities. or other obligations" of belligerent
 However, lgal experts are in doubt whether these prohibitions apply to the Government Neither law specj- fically says so. Their only express ban is against private citizens en- gagged in foreign financing.
 The Johnson Act, for example. explicitly defines person" to mean an individual, partnership, corpor- ation, or association other than a public corporation created by Congress, or a corporation in which

SPOKESMAN FOR DEMOCRACY

President Roosevelt spoke directly to an audience of only about 100000 yesterday but his words will ring around the world They will be heard in Britain where men and women who have faith in their own way of life, and ours, face with quiet courage the fifth month of a dreadful siege They will be heard in France, where every word now spoken on the side of democracy counts in the making of great decision. They will be heard in Greece, and echo in the mountains of Albania. They will be heard despite all censorship, passed by word of mouth in all those captive countries where heartsck men and women still dream dreams of the day of hbera- tion. They will be heard in far-off China, where the endurance of patient people is still equal to the burdens of in its fourth year. And wher- ever they heard by of goodwill the words of President Roosevelt will bring fresh strength and added courage For the message which they carry is that the great democracy of the United States does not stand aoof from these struggles in defense of freedom, dsnterested and indecisive
 Instead, say we intend to prove we know what democracy by making it an unbeatable working force thrcughout the world in war as in reoe We say Americans vtally concerned in oi freedom wherever in the world that battle
 ng fought.
 Gy whatever standsrd it is judged this is the srtrd and necessary policy for the United States. It puts is suuarely the side of those who are fighting our own battles It makes use of the will neness of other people to serve as the first lines of our defense while we gain time to complete our aimaFe2ts T discarde as umeallshc and dishon- ola6ie that proposed neutrality" which drew no 5is.iraca aeswccn the ssgFessor and his victims between he criminal violator of international law and the nations which uphold it between the tyrant and the defenders Of our own democratic ways and institutions
 There cannot be the slightest doubt that the course to which Mir. Roosevelt pledged this country yesterday has the endorsement Of the vast ma jorty of people, and that they will approve whatever measures are needed to put it into practice In an hour Of great crisis the President has spoken to the nation with candor and with foresight.

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel'

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22
 Benefic aspects rule today There is a fortunate sign for our ships and shipping. Rulers and executives of all ranks should benefit under this sway. se
 Heart and Home: There is a threatening sign governing women today It is well to maintain pOise and to keep busy in practical duties. Fears circulated through the war news of press and radio may cause anxiety and depression among many mothers and wives. It is impera- tive to live each day fully declin- ing to borrow trouble. The wise will conserve the family income and eliminate whatever is superflu- ous in the daily routine of living
 Business Affairs: The seers de- clare that while the people of the United States are enjoying pros perity they should express their gratitude by preparing wisely for the future. Thrift in the conduct of all business is enjoined. Ameri- cans now should cultivate the habit of saving in order to provide for their own rainy days and also help the unfortunate. Farmers are to prosper greatly this year, all though unusual storms may cause losses.
 National Issues: Cabinet changes will cause much discussion. as a party of opposition seeks to gain influence in Washington. The stars indicate that national unity on all defense policies will be attained as the world appears to be in even greater peril of domination by dic- tators. Splendid deeds of typical American courage are prognosti- cated as the nation accepts almost ove W h e ming responsibility in safeguarding democracy. o'e
 International Affairs: Friendly relations with Mexico will be em- phasized in the next few months when there is cause for the peo- pies of the Western Hemisphere to challenge hostile forces. American diplomacy is to demonstrate that Yankee shrewdneSs is something more than a catchword. Naval and Army officers are to prove their ability while air commanders are gaining fame in mobilizing our flyers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair success. Gain over obstacles, fin- ancial and domestic. is forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be indepedent, artistic and unselfish, but they may find difficulties in business affairs due to their artistic natures.

An, Such Foresight
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 The Italian people have many fine qualities and many great talents. But the art of lightning war in the modern manner is not one of their accom- oshments. Nothing could better prove this than the rather absurd report from Sid Barrani, captured more than month ago by the British, telling of Italys plans for the government of captured Egypt
 Banknotes for in occupied Egypt" had been printed and brought up to the front lines Plans had been perfected for the substitution of Egyp tian exiled in Lbya, for the present King of Egypt These measures the Nazis have used time and time again. to simplify the process of governing the areas seized But they very small affairs along side the task of conquerng the countries earmarked
 Mussolini's regime made thorough plans for the management of its cCnquests. But it made wholly insufficient plans for the conquests. General Gra- ziani announced rather plaintively the other day that he was ready for great new offensive, about the time the British struck But he lacked motor trucks He had spurious banknotes in abundance. But conquering army cannot travel banknotes.
 It is one of the many tragedies of this that the Italian people through the stupidity and willfu ftubbornness of their Duce should be bracketed with he Nazs They cannot play the sort of game the Nazis are playing. They cannot hope to preserve heir independence if Hitler wins, for they will be- come colony of a mighty Naz Reich Their pitiful gestures Of intention to fight mighty btzkrieg in Africa only recall the tragic Mussolni made in appraisng his countrys capacities against British power.

JACK DEMPSEY'S JOB

Secretary Harold Ickes isn't ad- vertising 1t yet, but he has been looking around very quietly for g new Under Secretary of the. Interior. Reason: Alvin J. Wirtz has been a big disappointment.
 Drafted from Texas as great New Dealer and close friend of Maury Maverick and Lyndon John- son, Wirtz just hasn't produced. He isn't even around. For approximate ly two months now he has been trying a private law case in Texas and hasn't even lifted blotter or his desk in Washington.
 Wirtz went to Texas to try his case about q month before the Mo- yember elections. and is not back yet Officials of the Interior De- partment have no definite word when he will be back.
 Faced with this vacuum, Secretary Ickes has been talking on the q. t. With dynamic Jack Dempsey, ex- Congressman from New Mexico and now a member of the Maritime Commission, about the possibility of joining his staff Dempsey and Ickes are old friends-in fact, such good friends that other Congressmen complained dolorously that Oemp- sey could get all kinds of reclama- tion and PWA projects for New Mexico, while their own much more populous states were stinted.
 So Dempsey will remain with the Maritime Commission until there is an opening in the Interior Depart ment, after which he will probably join Ickes.

many weeks of public hearings, which cost thousands of dollars to the taxpayers.
 The study contains many sensa- tional disclosures regarding the business practices and inner finan- cial operations of insurance moguls, and they have been moving heaven and earth to suppress it. So fal they have succeeded.
 Since the insurance report was submitted, the committee has pub lished 9 score of reports on various industries. all without delay or in , reference. The insurance expose is the only one which has been stalled. What makes this so mysterious is the fact that, with one exception, all Is members of the committee have approved tle publication of the report.
 One man alone has been holding 1t up-the chairman of the com mittee, Senator Joseph OMahoney Wyoming Democrat.
 Why he is sitting on the lid is anyone's guess. During the campaign last year he said he was too busy running for reelection and hadn't time to read the report. But a num- Der Of other committee members who did read and oksv the docu- ment. also ran for reelection.
 After election. O'Mahoney told newsmen he was taking the report with him to read during a long sea cruise. But he has been back from his trip several weeks = and there stil is no sign when he will uncork the report.
 Questioned the other day, O'Ma- honey irritably denied he was try ing to suppress the report, contend e1 it is longer than others and therefore requires more time, and finally declared he couldn't see why people are pounding our backs about this particular report"
 We may print all of it, or cut some of it." OMahoney continued Its very touchy stuff. It's up to the committee to decide what to do I haven't any doubt that something

 Instead, the Band is going to uni forms by charging modest admittance price to school concerts In the past these concerts have been free which is all the more reason why those who have enjoyed them before should patronize the band now that it is seeking to help itself
