There have been reports for
some time that things weren't go
ing so well between them, but all
doubt as to the accuracy of these
reports vanished when Stettinius
came back from London. Close
friends say that the two men are
now in about the same pistol
drawn position as Hull was with
ex-Undersecretary Sumner Welles.
The climax came when Stettiniu
arrived at the airport on his re-
turn from London. Michael Nc
Dermott, efficient State Depart
ment press relations chief and one
of the four officials closest to
Hull, met him. AS Stettinius
stepped off the plane and posed
for the cameramen, McDermott
handed him a small piece Of pa
per.
Settinius held the paper inside
his hat so no one could see it
and read it. The paper said:
Don't say anything until you
see the Secretary Of State"
The Undersecretary obeyed Or
ders. But when SO important an
official returns from so import
ant a mission, it Is always Gus
tomary to hold press conference
and, in difference to repeated de-
mands, Stettinius finally did so.
Furthermore, he talked with
refreshing frankness about his
trip, about ways and means of
discussing peace with Germany,
and about other questions of vital
concern to the American people.
1t was agreed in advance that
everything should be off the-rec-
ord for the time being, but that
Stettinius, after checking with
Hull, would release the essential
part of his interview for publica-
ton.
However, when Hull saw the
transcript of Stettinius' remarks,
he turned thumbs down COM
pletely. He decided that his frank
and fortnight Undersecreteary
had best keep his light under q
pushed. No word of what Stet-
tinius said has been released, SO
far, for publication.
AS one of Hull's closest advisers
remarked afterwards:
1.-THE damn fool hasn't learned
to talk without saying any
thing"
NOTE: Chief trouble between
and Stettinius seems to be that
the President calls Stettinius over
to the White House much more
than he does Hull.
BLACKLISTED SWEDE
Axel Wenner- Gren. the big
Swedish munitions maker who has
been virtually exiled in Mexico, is
moving heaven and earth to get
himself off the State Department
blacklist. He has even gone
so far as to get Ed Flynn. Demo-
cratic boss of the Bronx and for
mer chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, to go to
bat on his behalf.
Flynn has been making repre-"
sensations to Secretary Of State
Hull that Wenner-Gren has had
absolutely no connections with
Germany and should not be
blacklisted. The State DEPART
ment so far. has refused to move.
Wenner- Gren came into prom
inence shortly after war
broke when he fled from Swe-
dent On his yacht, the South
ern Cross, and picked up sur
viVOFs from the t0rpedOed Brit
ish vessel, Athena.
After that. he lived for some
time in Nassau. near his close
friend. the Duke Of Windsor,
and later moved to Mexico. where

Apple blossoms will be at their height
this week end Once the budding started
they have come quickly with few warm
days to help. Parks are now featuring
tulips in profusion. And speaking of tulips
three thousand of them are now in bloom
at Rockefeller Plaza, New York City on a
third story terrace, as tribute to Hol-
land which was invaded just four years
ago by the NaziS.

Praise for the newspapers! Good. This
time it is for their assistance in putting
across the 1914 Red Cross drive. The
newspapers are giving good part OF
their space these days to such things, and
glad to, so it is encouraging to have these
services recognized. You might not re-
alize it but it seems, adding up the space,
millions of inches of space have been de-
voted to the Red Cross drive in news
papers and magazines.

And Speaking of Taxes

We are intrigued by the story of the
man in New York whose state return
showed that he owed no tax, and who
sent the state income tax bureau money
order for 10000 Trying to fathom his
reasoning, we have discarded timidity,
practical joking and relief, and have con-
cluded that here is a man OF patriotism
and impeccable civic conscience trying
TO express his regret that, in this year of
decision, he has but one life to give to his
country and 10000 to his state treasury.

THE PRESIDENT RETURNS
New York Times

Tanned, refreshed and vigorous,
President Roosevelt Is back at his
desk in Washington. We can all be
glad that he has had a chance TO
enjoy a month Of real and relaxa-
ton from the almost overwhelm-
ing burdens which his ONCE forces
him to carry.
This vacation at Hobcaw, Bernard
Baruch's retreat in South Carolina.
Is the longest the President has
ever had. He earned every hour OF
1t. AS he says himself, he was max
ing up for more than eleven years
of lost sleep. A bit Of fishing. plenty
of idling, long sessions In the sun
and as little work as possible
smoothed away the lines OF care
that had gathered In his face,
brought back the color to his cheeks
and dispeiled completely the bron.
chitis which has troubled him since
an attack of influenza following his
return from Teheran and Cairo.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

The Right Rev. William T. Manning,
Protestant Episcopal Bishop of New York
is seventy-eight years of age today, and
is not bothered by the recent ruling that
a Bishop shall resign at the age of seventy
two years. His diocese stands behind him
in this. He states that he shall continue
to serve despite legislation from outside
his episcopal diocese, if he is given the
health and strength to do so.

NOURTSHMENT AND STRENGTH
There are circles in medicine too,
especially in popular medicine. Not
just ordinary folk but notably the
Wiseacres readily accept trite, stere-
otyped, hackneyed or meaningless
phrases in lieu Of diagnosis or an
explanation of what ais them. Were
it not for this credulity that great
American institution whose main
support is the nostrum business
would have to depend on legitimate
ssutenance instead Of living on
blood money and the expert guild
ance of federal authorities who per-
nit only lying by indirection. See
what I mean? For instance, you
can't say on the air that your nos
trum will cure anything, but you
can say, every ten minutes or so,
take our neatly disguised acetanilide
no matter what ais you and see how
fast you'll feet better-which the
federal board sanctions as though
you said toss our no6trum IN the
ashcan and see how fast you'll feel
better. a..
Some Of the cliches that cover
ignorance or indifference and deceit
are so absurd that they hardly bear
mention here, although they bob
up constantly in letters from read.

really the matter, but dangerous If
there is anything the matter. E
1t is dangerous to temporize with,
cliches, first, because while you are
doing so your ailment may progress
from the incipient, minor or re-
versible stage to active, major and
perhaps incurable disease. It Is
dangerous, too, because the very
dope the quack doctor or nostrum
monger gives you to play with may
be injurious in itself-for instance
acetanilide in one or another noS9

When I was young and in coun-
try practice, clear beef broth was
in high favor (among the Sairey-

call it essence" of beef, but what
ever it was, people believed it nour-
ished and strengthened the invalid

Clear beef broth, bouillon or soup

and to the circulation If not too
highly salted, but it is insignificant
in actual nutritive value, that is TO

RHYTHM OF LIFE

VILLAIN M. Schuyler in the New York Times
In Natures order strife
The rhythmic pulse of Life
Attunes the destined plan
Engaging mortal man
To laugh and weep!
Can sorrow then, so deep,

Are not JOY and grief
Emblematic OF the leaf
That Inevitably falls
To earth when Nature calls,

Buds 10 new awakening?

Bear the Seeding aftermath
OF Peace In triumph won?
