I doubt that there is any phase or function of govern- ment that is less Our Foreign understood by the Policy people at large mined largely by the other fellow. Or, to state the proposition in another way, the lengths to which the United States will go in punitive action against Japan is likely to be determined, first, by the reaction of our own citizens to Japanese barbarism and, second, the moves by other dominant nations of the world. Mr. Roosevelt was returning from an 8,000-mil- e trip when he delivered his Chicago speech. That trip was announced in advance as being for the purpose of an inspection to see how the country was taking the New Deal. That, however, was not the whole truth. Mr. Roosevelt wanted to feel the public pulse politically on the Supreme court packing proposition and its related questions; he wanted to find out how the country felt concerning those Democrats who had opposed the court packing; he needed information about the demand for an extra session of congress to enact crop control legislation and, in addition, he wanted to see what the general feeling was war. about the The trip was timed admirably. It took Mr. Roosevelt away from Washington and, further, away from the red-hcauldron resulting from the fact that Associate Justice Hugo L. Black of Alabama was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The information that filters back from observers aboard the Presidents train presents something of a paradox. Almost unanimously, the observers found that Mr. Roosevelt was still immensely popular personally. Concerning his various programs, including crop control legislation, the observers report that they found conditions ranging from violent opposition to plain apathy or complete lack of interest It is a most confusing situation from a political standpoint I have found few individuals able or willing to attempt an analysis of it Generally speaxing, lack of enthusiasm for a program sooner or later will kill off politically the individual who sponsors the program. Yet no one will say, at this time at least, that such a result can be expected in Mr. Roosevelts case. But the political effect of his Chicago speech must not be minimized. Whether Mr. Roosevelt so intended or not, his speech demanding that Japan respect treaties and observe the rights of other nations and his pointed criticism of policies such as those employed by Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin, have the effect of rallying the people behind him. than questions or actions relating to foreign policy. It is easy to understand why this is so. American foreign policy, like the foreign policy of every other nation, It is closely akin to patchwork. cannot be otherwise because of the very nature of thq matters to be dealt with officially. Foreign policy, indeed, is one thing to which Presistatedent Roosevelts ment about his decisions resembling those of a football quarterback can be most properly applied. It is a y treatment with new decisions as changes come in the international play. This brings us to the Presidents Chicago speech and the announcement by the State department of American conclusions that Japan is the aggressor in China. Of course, all persons who have read anything about the war knew long ago that the Japs were conducting a raid on China. Officials of the government knew it also, but there is a difference and must be a difference in the methods employed by individuals as distinct from those employed by a nation which represents all of its individual citizens. Time had to elapse, therefore, before our government or any other could say definitely and publicly that Japan was seeking to acquire new territory by theft and seizure. Many observers and many individuals have indicated their surprise at the President's speech which, by the way, was the most distinct pronouncement of any that he has ever made. There was likewise surprise when the secretary of state, Mr. Hull, gave the press his statement condemning Japanese aggression even though the statement should have been anticipated after Mr. Roosevelts Chicago speech and after word had come from Geneva that the League of Nations appeared unanimous in the same conclusion. The reason that I say there should have been no surprise concerning the final position which our government has taken traces back to the administration of President Hoover and Henry L. Stimson, then secretary of state. It was at that time that a fundamental change took place in our foreign policy but it was not a change that appeared to be sensational at the moment. In other words, the position which Mr. Hoover and Mr. Stimson took at that time was overlooked because who are opposed to Some there was no real crisis to attract the Newpersons Deal have been mean attention to American policy. enough to say that What that change in policy did is Black Mr Roosevelt took plain now.

The league has a new president the Aga Khan, who has the largest private income on earth because 40,000,000 Mohammedans regard him as divine and pay for the privilege, often going hungry in order to do so. And he certamly is qualified to head a society dedicated to peace he never parted from any of his wives except with the utmost harmony. Well, to celebrate his election, the Aga Khan gave the most gorgeous banquet ever staged in Geneva 1,500 bottles of champagne and 300 pounds of caviar. Thus did the league justify its right to existence. There were but few flies m the ointment. Ethiopias delegates were either deceased or missing, the league having drawm the color line, so to speak, which was more than Mussolini did when he wiped out their country last year. Spains delegates likewise were absent, being mostly dead or else fighting one another.

They was on their way to a sick call, stated the officer. Now wait a minute, said the citizen. I happen to be a Catholic myself and I know about those things. Who ever heard of three priests going on one sick call? For a moment only the policeman hesitated. Then he snapped: Say, young feller, tell me this, you that knows so much did you never hear of a solemn high sick call? French Slickers.

This reminds a fellow of 1931, v hen the bank examiners were coroners simultaneously sitting on the mortal remains of an even larger number of American banks, the main difference being that these French banks were looted by outside parties.
