stock question. Usually they
come staggering out after
time. and die. II they come out
alive we're waiting for them.
None OF lis has ever been bitten

children in cribs being bitten

Under our system, the opinions

pressed through Congress. What
validity is there to the assumption
that all are out of step except the
Hooverites?

Hooveristic warnings and Ham
Fishy stories of the dire things that
would happen if the voters returned
Roosevelt to the White House. The
course the administration would
follow was clearly indicated before
last November. Many of the steps
on this course had already been
taken. There had been no change
in public sentiment in the mean
time.

1t is probable to put it mildly, that
it would have been forced on US
during the existing crisis, had it
not been for our defensive meas

Presidents high-seas conference
