WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-
The extent to which the RooSe-

compendium of humor If II were
not so bitterly tragic:
II is not confined TO any one
part of the administration.
Everybody seems TO be doing 1t
now.
Frequently there are disclosed
such contradictions and cross
purposes as 10 reveal a remark
able state of confusion within
the administration itself
On Thursday of last week
something of a minor precedent
in the relationship of Congress
and White House was eStab-
lished. on that day the PreSl-
dent completed his second
lend-leaSe message, calling for
an appropriation Of n early
$4,000 600 600.
Contrary to the custom Of
more than $50 years that mes
sage was released al the White
House and not at the capitol As
heretofore has been done. "A
small straw but it shows which
way the wind is blowing.
IN TUESDAY of last week

government by buying a lot OF

$4,000. 900 on the line In short
Communist Russia will get the
dollars and we will get the
goods in the sweet bye-and-bye,
sometime. perhaps. maybe.
But this was only half the
story. The very next day,
Thursday of last week, Secre-
