"Oh, l dream, of JEANNE, ,oith the light
brotOn hair,
Borne like Uapor on the summer
WASHINGTON. = heard that
sweet, simple song the night after
the President delivered his message
on the state Of the Union. It wasn't
a summer day. The Washington
monument was cold pillar in the
sunlight, the Potomac a sheet Of
shimmering metal beyond bare
trees. But that song, its beauty born
of the suffering of Stephen Foster;
the symbolic monument, and the
echoing memory Of the solemn voice
Of the President blended together to
make an unforgettable moment in
which I suddenly seemed to see a
changing America, a nation step
ping forward on new and unknown
road.
I have said before that many Of
the Presidents close advisors be-
lieved that he saw. growing out Of
the war In Europe, a new role for
the United States, the role of world
leadership. Each days develop
ments seem to confirm the belief
that such is the part Mr.. Roosevelt
expects the nation to play and that
II he can he viii direct us in that
path, the path he mapped in his
two recent speeches.
The America which produced
"Jeannie with the light brown hair"
had disappeared even before Adj
miral Dewey blazed the way to en-
pire for America in Manila bay. The
last vestiges of American provincial
ism were trampled into the mud of
France by 1000, 900 pairs of Ameri-
can boots. We thought, and some
of us fervently hoped for while we
were going to leave Europe to her
own devices. after 1919, forget. If
we could the white crosses we left
there and tend our own fireside.
Isolationist Sentiment Weakens.
We have tried for a year to stuff
up our ears at the roar Of the Stukas
but each explosion over Europe
sounds nearer. The majority Of let
tiers which I receive are still very
much against any step which would
lead us into war but the congress-
men coming in for the new session
report a weakening of the isolation
list feeling.
One thing was clear when the
President delivered his message to
the joint session Of congress on JAM

uary 6. Although many minds there
did not meet his, though much de-
bate was to follow, it was plain that
his plan to make America an ar
senal for the democracies had ma
jority support. that step by step he
was doing the leading and step by
step congress was following.
! watched the session from the
floor of the house of representatives
for radio has little room at the
side of the chamber to the left Of
the rostrum.
There was long silence when the
President was announced. The au-
dience rose and stood with hardly a
whisper. Finally the President ap-
peared at the entrance just to the
right Of the speakers desk and
walked slowly up the ramp between
his aide and secret service man.
Then cape the applause punctured
with only a few of the shrill rebel
yells." And throughout the speech,
with few exceptions, the handicap
ping came only when the President
emphasized passage.
Foreshadows New Role.
But to me, the significant lines, the
ones indicating that the President
was foreshadowing this new part he
felt America must play, were these:
I'm the future days which we
seek to make secure, we look
forward to world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.
1.-The first is freedom Of speech
and expression-everywhere in
the world
1.-THE third is freedom from
want, which, translated into
world terms, means economic
understandings which will Sc
cure to every nation healthy
peacetime life for its inhabitants
everywhere in the world"
Reading them over now in cold
type they don't have quite the same
effect. But perhaps you recall, If
you heard the broadcast, how he
emphasized. climactically, the
phrase everywhere in the world"
1t was plain his concern did not
stop at our own frontiers, but "ev-
erywhere In the world"
Then he went on to describe his
''new order" quite as specifically as
Hitler has described his:
That Is no vision Of a distant
millennium. II is a definite ba-
sis for kind Of world attainable
In our own time and generation.
That kind Of world is the very

of this column who has drunk lem
onads in the Latvian legation in
Washington, and trooped up the
stairs, past the stained glass window
to look upon the marvellous maiden
Of wax in her gay peasant costume
and great amber necklace.
For Alfred Bilmanis, like the for
mer head Of the little Baltic country
now under Russian domination was
a great and enthusiastic friend Of
the Fourth. For many years when
the Fourth clubs encamped in the
Washington Mall they met this
cheerful round-faced man who told
them about organization in Latvia
which Carl Ulmanis, president Of
the Baltic state had founded, pat
terning them after the farm clubs
in this country. Ulmanis once be-
fore had been driven from his coun-
try by the Russian government. He
came to America where he became
an ardent student Of our farms and
our farm methods, our agricultural
schools and the various activities
connected with rural life in this
country.

Now Latvia is under the Russian

a short time among the peoples Of
Europe. We only recall now how

that he may be able to avoid the
pitfalls of the past and succeed

scientist who made report on alcohol before the
American Association for the Advancement of Science
surely made distressing statement with the conclusion
that folks who think drinking be controlled by will
power, resolutions of abstinence pledges, wrong
and that the people laboring under delusion and
popular misconceptions" According to science, per-
haps there need of physical treatment to have
cure, but there are many who know of cases where
liquor addicts were able to be cured of the habit
through their own will-power and tenacity. Many
person has been helped to the drinking habit
through pride for self and family Religion has brought
many drunkards to right-aboutface. We still believe
it isn't all in medical and scientific treatment!

A Starter

So you want to develop your personality? A wise
man says to get up soon you awaken and to be
wide awake when you do get up This will be difficult
for the fellow who doesn't get going until after his
morning cup of coffee. We advised to start the
day with smile, and wise as it may be- it is often
difficult to squeeze out anything cheerful until
noon. AS good day-starter, say something nice to
the wife the maid. Don't start in with the CHEEKY
words TO the maid and run out of them when you get
to the wife, There is sound in breathing deeply
the good fresh air into the bottom of the lungs This
is something easy and will try that. But there will

Home owners are being urged 10
take a sprngtime inventory" Of
the condition Of their dwellings and

purpose are available from savings
