OVER THE
BACK FENCE
BY MARGUERITE FINEFRoCK

Hiya Neighbor-We're just in
the mood for a, not grand, but a
bang-up Fourth Of July. Every
thing has been at cross purposes
this week and after seething in
side for five days all we need is
for some punk" to set off spark
to start the fireworks and then
we'll give you as good demon
stration as you'll see Sunday night
when the Chamber of Commerce
has it's display of rockets and
bombs at the Standard Products
field. Had we been able to for
see this atomic bomb condition
creeping up on us, the C. of C.
could have saved it's money for
we'd have donated an explosion
free, with a little screaming and
hair pulling thrown in for good
measure. The reasons behind this
outburst are many and varied. Suf-
flee to say, if we listed them all,
with appropriate adjectives, it
wouldn't be long until the pickets
on the back fence curled up and
fell off, not to mention the same
thing happening to an assortment
of large and small ears. Just in
case this "holiday mood" is con-
tagious, maybe you'd better turn
to Jottings Off the Cuff for better
reading.

Don't Ever let anyone tell you
that it's only women shoppers
who can't make up their minds
when buying something. The
male shopper, for all his squirm-
ing and urging the little woman
to hurry up when he's the dis
Interested bystander, is just as
bad if not worse when the shoes
on the other foot.
Take the guy who came in to
buy a pair of slacks. After ff-
teen minutes of looking them over
he still isn't sure if he wants
green or blue ones but he does
try on half dozen pairs. Are
they wearing pleats in them this
year or would plain ones be bet
ter? Is that a little too much
slack in the seat? Yes, he thinks
they should be taken in a bit and
of course the legs have to be
turned up and then another fifteen
minutes is consumed while he
tries to make up his mind if
they'll look better down to his
heel or just touching the shoe
top.
Eventually he makes up his
mind, Of course, and turns to the
shirt counter. Long or short
sleeves? We-e-l, he'll look at
both but he guesses long ones will
be best. The color? We-e-ll he
doesn't care, but he has a blue
suit, so maybe he'll look at white
shirts. He looks them over and
then says, 81 guess I'll wait, may
be you'll have something better in
your next shipment" (And an
other fifteen minutes has licked
away.)

Diplomatic Decisions Left to Him, Hull Says
Continued From First Page

We made ut the Montevideo Pan
American Conference to settle the
Chaco War. treated this as part
of the Conferences proceedings to
promote peace, and took the appro-
pirate decisions. I kept the .Presi-
dent informed in a general way OF
what we were doing.
Still another instance is my con-
duct of the negotiations with Great
Britain for the lease of British bases,
from Newfoundland to British
Guiana, in exchange for so Amer
ican overage destroyers. The Presi-
dent and I talked this over and
reached a general understanding.
He then turned over to me the task
of conducting the negotiations with
Britain. This included response
bility for an exchange of cables with
Winston Churchill in which he
made an official pledge that the
British Navy would not in any cir
cumstances be allowed to fall into
German hands or be scuttled.
Negotiations With Japs.
A final example, among many
others, is the negotiations with the
Japanese Ambassador in the nine
months before Pearl Harbor. con-
Quoted some 40 to so confer
ences with the Ambassador, mainly
at my hotel apartment. kept the
President informed as to the general
tenor of the discussions. and at the
same time prepared the data for
conferences between the President
and the Ambassador, which I ar
ranged.
Neither the President nor I had
had any too much experience in
handling the technical side of
foreign affairs. We gathered this
experience quickly because of the
multitude of problems that faced
us at once.
During his first term in Office
President Roosevelt was SO i'm
mersed in an avalanche of domestic
questions that he left me in almost
full charge of foreign affairs. Be-
ginning with his second term, his
interest and participation in foreign
affairs greatly augmented.
World knowledge Broad.
Mr.. Roosevelt's knowledge about
the world was extensive. No Presi-
dent since jefferson and the
Adamses had a wider knowledge of
peoples and conditions abroad
Though he sometimes tended 10
