Short Address
Urges Nation
Talk Stresses Intent
To Push All Aid
For Democrucies
By GOULD LINCOLN.

A ringing call to muster the
spirit and faith of America to
save the Nation from disruption
from without was sounded by
President Roosevelt today, as he
began an unprecedented and mo-
rnentouS third term.
He warned the people of America
to avoid the peril of inaction. He
urged them not to listen to those
voices which declare that free
dom is an ebbing tide"
Democracy is not dying" the
President told his huge audience, IN
Washington and throughout the
world.
Standing bareheaded on a plat
form erected in front of the east
portico of the Capitol, the Chief
Executive delivered his inaugural
address in accents that befitted the
solemnity of the occasion. Brilliant
sunshine bathed the Capitol, tenn
pering the cold for the huge crowd
which had gathered in the Capitol
Plaza.
War clouds, invisible to the eye
but nevertheless full of portent to
the Presidents huge audience,
banked in the background. To
many of those who heard the Presi-
dent the occasion was reminiscent
OF March 4, 1917 when Woodrow
Wilson spoke to the Nation as it
stood on the verge of the World War.
The country, the Congress and
the world already have been ad-
vised of President Roosevelt's policy
Of full support" to the British.
The Congress has before it the
administration bill to translate this
policy into legislation and into
action.

afternoon before a seriously
smiling, saluting gray statesman
who had just assumed a position
unprecedented in the history of
America and critical in the his

Delano Roosevelt. President of
the United States.
On the fag-draped reviewing
stand. against the background of
the White House and the Still-green

were falling, he started auspiciouslv
his third fOur-year tenure OF the
most important position on this
harassed planet.
He had just taken the simple,

Parade Strikes Military Note.
The parade. with its martial music

the White House, his home for eight

he had never laid them down for a

shoulders of a statesman. burdens
which have constantly grown heavier

"You never did anything that

Hallies eyes searched her hus-

She hesitated so long that Eric
said. 1T must be pretty grim II
you're afraid to give me the bust
ness"
Il don't want II to be grim.

want us to have a budget and live

She shook her head. Not entire
ly. But want to have the money l
earn. Eric, / want to have a baby.
If l can go on working for four
months, l ought to be able to save
thousand dollars. That would be
enough ="
She waited, with her heart beat
ing little faster, for Eric to make
an objection, but he said, 60 on"
We're paying 5000 a month for
this place, but l know that we can
get the new management to come
down fifty a month. That's all
they're charging for the other mai
sonette in this building. You can
afford that much with a hundred a

Il can make more than that" he
said tentatively.
How"
Look, honey, let's make compro-
misses. I support you and you have
this baby you want. I keep on this
flying stuff. I'll be doing solos be-
fore very long. There's a lot OF
money In flying. More than in
radio"
A torrent OF words rushed to
Hallie's lips, but she sealed them.
Experience had taught her that
Eric would fly if Eric wanted to fly.
She said, IF you'll promise not to
take risks"
"A family man can't take risks"
he assured her in the most serious
tone he had ever used.
Halle crossed her fingers.
There were two things that hap
pened that month. Two things that

RIGHTEOUS anger was Ike a
fever, but righteous anger was no
different from any other fever, and
when Halle had got over the first
attack she had ever given way TO,
a chill had come over her.
She had been calm, wrapped In
the cloak of her conviction, when
Eric, without a word, took his
sleeping things into the living room
and she had got into her bed, set
tied her head on the pillow for
sleep. But sleep had not come.
The quarter hours. half hours
and hours had been struck in slow
procession all the night and she
heard them, filing the endless
spaces between with thoughts that
left her shaken and filled with
dread.
II was dread OF loneliness.
II Eric left her
She had had no life, save that
with Eric. The life Of her girlhood
was behind her. It might have been
another Halle Singleton who led a
protected, happy life in Worburn.
There was no going back for the
Halle Adams she was now.
The years with Eric had not been
what she'd wanted them 10 be, but
honesty made her realize that they
had not been bad. She searched
herself for the fault II lay, she felt,
within herself. She was made of
different stuff from Eric. He could
not be blamed for that. He hadn't
tried 10 change her. He had never
indicated by word or action, except
for those few weeks in Connecticut,
that he was dissatisfied with their
marriage.
Another small voice told her that
he had little reason to be. She had
been mother, housekeeper and
lover TO him.
She stilled the small voice, re-
viewing the years. Eric had opened
a new way Of life that was stimu-
latlng. And they'd had, as Eric
would say, plenty Of laughs" Yes,
there had been fun.
Shed said to him, II want you

Perhaps she wouldn't have said
it a few hours before II she'd
known that Eric was going to take
it that way. closing the door be-
