Of the dozens of ma jor Mils introduced (to say nothing of the thousands of minor onus, 01 which a considerable percentage falls Into the crackpot category) less than half a dozen have been definitely act ed upon.

That issue i3 the role of the United States in today's complicated world affairs. As Newsweek puts it, "The 76th Congress offers no more striking con tract than the calm unanimity with which it votes hundreds of millions for defense, compared with the hectic uncertainty with which it parries and postpones decisions on foreign poll ciea. Senators and representatives who can agree on the number of ships, planes and guns needed cannot agree on what they are needed for." The conflict between the isolationists and the nationalists has been go tng on for a long time. Today it is more bitter than ever and seems destined to become constantly more so in the future. It is a known fact that thifl Administration definitely falls Into the internationalist classification the most potent Presidential such as Ambassador Bullitt and Kennedy, seem convinced that we mut eventually throw in our lot with France and England, and the sooner we do that the better off we shall be. The Republicans in Congress, led by stern isolationists Borah, Johnson and Nye, are convinced that this course is suicidal, spells the partici pation of the U. S. in a possible war which is not our concern. Republican opposition is not particularly important Co the White House in spite of OOP gains last November, the Democrats still have a handsome majority Cut this issue has split party lines wide open. F.ffective Democrats such as Clark of Missouri, are as strong ly isolationist in feeling as Borah Aiid many lesser lights in Congress, whose views have not yet been put on record, will vote for isolation when a Story by ERNEST HAYCOX Poromounl Pictur by JAMES A CANIEIS hard-bnile- HAPTER VII A S MOLL.IE, a mall sack slung over one shoulder ana a smaller me In her hand, v;as locking her far.

"About on" of her little fingers," As Dick relieved her of the mail sacks and they started up the track together, he produced an encasement ring. "Specially grown for your engagement finger," he said as he attempted to slip it on. Mollie wriggled her fingers, blocking Dick's attempt. Disappointed but Dick suggested that she wear it on a string until she made up her mind. Before Mollie could answer they both noticed Jeff wheeling a handcar onto the tracks. "Hi! Hold on there," Mollie shouted, "that's my hand-caI use to deliver mail at the End O' Track." "Are you going to the End 0' Track?" "I am," Mollie said as Dick deposited the mall sacks on the handcar, now on the tracks. "So am I." Jeff answered. As he Dick swept mounted the hand-car- , Mollie into his arms and kissed her fiercely. Jeff looked away. A moment later Mollie joined him and they started pumping their way westward in silence. It was Mollie who spoke first. " 'Tis a fine Job you've done in a few months, Mr. Jeff, restorln' a bit of order along the right o' way." She withdrew a letter from her dress and glanced at the postmark. "It must give great pride to your lady back In Doston. Is she your wife?" l it J t ? rWW'i,' I,: V- v..

"Hi, Jeff hello, Mollie," Dusky greeted them. "What do 1 hear about the railroad Brass Hats coming out?" Jeff nodded. "Inspection tour. General Grant's with them." "He'd win a lot of votes at the next election by bringing our pay with him," Dusky remarked. "He will," Jeff promised. A swirling cloud of dust to the west attracted their attention.

Jeff's voice was low when he answered. "Yes she's my mother." Mollie flushed. "It's sorry I am, Mr. Jeff and ashamed besides," she said contritely. The two pumped in silence for a little while. Again it was Mollie who spoke first. "You think I'm an outrageous flirt, don't you?" she asked, facing Jeff across the bars of the handcar and continuing to pump.

Jeff demanded. His voice was tense. "Nolhln' only he's dead. A feller named Duke Ring, one of Campeau's little playmates, sort of lost his temper and he plays rough!" "An' now, nobody ee3 work at all," Fiesta added. Dusky was disturbed by this news. "They gotta work. We can't lay track if there's no grade." "There's about two hundred of 'em yowlin about no pay so we didn't start nothin'," Leach explained. "I'll go on up and entertain Mr. Ring," Jeff said slowly to Leach, "I'll be back by sundown maybe." He pushed his .way through the crowd to where a team of horses was standing hitched to a light buckboard. Mollie followed close at his heels. As Jeff leaped Into the seat, Mollie swung on the tail of the buggy. The horses raced away into the west As Jeff and Mollie reached the graders' camp, Duke Ring was addressing the assembled workers and swinging an ax on all of the wheelbarrows within reach. "What are you workin' for?" ha shouted. "It ain't for money because you don't get none. Are you workin for your sweat? That's all you'll get out of it unless maybe some Injua tears the hair off your head. The road's broke, I tell you." He swung viciously at another wheelbarrow. Seizing a shovel from a young workman, Duke broke it across his knee. "That's Duke Ring," Mollie said, pointing to the agitator. "Oakes Ames would hate to see his shovels used like that," Jeff said as he wound the reins around the whip and jumped to the ground. "It's suicide you're contemplating goin' against that mob," Mollie protested, thoroughly frightened. "Maybe," Jeff admitted.

The Gallup polls have accurately indicated the drift of public feeling in the past, and many a Congressman whose prima interest is in pleasing his constituents, irrespective of what he personally thinks, ia certain to cast his vote according to their findings. Summing up, the advocates of the strictest kind of U. S. neutrality have the edgo at present. Whether or not they will hold that edge depends upon ivMy potentialities, tangible and in- t infttble.
