OF course these high-minded
ideals are ethically superior to
the old promise of loot and
women that the Caesars used to
hand out to the people, but the
promises of the Caesars were
collectible. and the promises of
President Roosevelt are not.
What our President lacks is
Imagination. He cannot put him.

piles of all the earth"
If he could, he'd discover that
there are hundreds of millions of
persons on this earth who do not
want any kind of freedom. They
want to be told" and taken
care of" all of their lives. They
can't walk alone, and if they
could. they'd run back to the
leash.
This is not only true of Asia.
where the word freedom is sell

millions of Europeans-Com-

guaranteed, if their leaders over

ATTEMPT TO
 STOP MONEY
 BILL KILLED
Senate Defeats Effort 10 lake Devdludfion
 Power from FOR

WASHINGTON. June 28. = The Senate today defeated an effort to strip the President of his power to revalue the dollar.
 The action came in the amend ment of Senator Adams to eliminate the devaluation section in the House approved legislation continu- ing for two years the Presidents authority to cut the gold content of the dollar and further operate the two billion dollar stabilization fund. The vote against the amendment was 40 to 22.
 Administration leaders contended that the monetary powers granted originality in 1884 are now more necessary than ever because of the worlds economic situation. The op- position to the bill argued it is dis honest to depreciate currency and said the devaluation will cause suf- fering to holders of defense bonds, life insurance policies and frighten business men engaged in defense prodsction.
 Earlier joint Senate and House committee broke up in disagreement over the 935 million dollar relief bill which must be enacted by Monday midnight unless the WPA is to be deprived of it's funds.

WASHINGTON, June 28-When the Senate confirmed the elevation of Democratic Sen. James F. Byrnes to the U. S. Supreme Court, it did it unanimously and so quick ly that no one had time to take out stop watch.
 Last March, Sen. Charles L. Mc- Nary, minority leader, called at the White House and told the Pres ident that it was the unanimous opinion of the Senate Republicans that Senator Byrnes should have the vacancy created by retirement of Associate Justice James c. Rev. holds.
 This was, of course, great tri- butte to an able and respected ad- versary, but some politicians in variably cast a fishy eye on tri- butes from the other side of the aisle" A few suspicious Demo- crates wondered if their COP foes weren't pulling a fast one-and among themselves, privately, voiced their fears.
 Now, some Washington wags are saying that the President, in removing from the political arena the cleverest liaison man he has had in Congress has done one Of the incest things he could do for the opposing party.

WASHINGTON-During the Rus- sian campaign against Finland, a representative of Amtorg (Soviet purchasing agency in this coun- try) came to an American builder of tanks and wanted to buy his designs. The builder was s. Bech- hold, President of Armored Tank Corporation.
 The Amtorg agent explained that Russian tanks had broken down in the Finnish campaign. The ex- tremely low temperatures had froz- en them. He wanted Armored Tanks design for a de-freezing mechanism.
 At that time, few Americans wanted to aid Russia, even for q profit, and least of all Bechhold, who is a naturalized citizen and an intense patriot. His answer to the Soviet agent was: T don't trust Stalin, but when he goes to war against Hitler, then I'll let you have my tanks
 That was a year and a half ago, but the Amtorg agent didn't for get. On the first business day (Monday, June 20 after the Ger man invasion of Russia, June 2l, he showed up bright and early at the Armored Tank office.
 Remember he said to- Bech- hold. what you said about Stalin fighting Hitler? We'll, the time has come. How about selling your tank designs?"
 NOTE-The fact that the Soviets are in the market for DESIGNS for tanks not yet made indicates that they, at least, expect to be able to hold off Hitler for long time.
