It was the h e of the txtietrm'ts amoiit; the senators, notably Ben r.et Champ C!.,rk, Homer T. Bore, ('.(raid P. Nye. etc., that there would he a delude of demands from the various states and congressional districts to the effect that their senators and representatives i.o all the way, allowing the President no discretion whatever. Fear of this demand, whic h most observers agree would probably have come had it not been for the public mind being so centered on the Supreme court legislation, actually played a considerable part in making the formal committee (Senator Key Pittman) draft more drastic than it might otherwise have been. This fear, by the way, had nothing to do with an appraisal of ithe merits of the case. It was based cn the thought that it would be easy 'to convince the milkman in Omaha that this country could build a wall high enough to protect us from entanglement in a foreign war. Especially as it is difficult to convince this same milkman in Omaha that stopping international trade is even much more seriously important difficult to convince him that it would almost inevitably be taking sides. Present indications arc that the Supreme court fight will continue to hog the lion's share of popular attention for months to come. The entire administration publicity machinery is devoted to that. Every time an outstanding Democrat opposes the President it is front page news. Just to maintain the fiction of presenting all sides, the newspapers have to give more space than the arguments are worth to speeches by those favoring the President's side. All of which relegates stories of the neutrality bill to the inside pages of the newspapers, and tends to prevent the inflaming of the very fierce but for the moment almost dormant desire of the country to do anything and everything to preserve peace. ! !; Peace at Any Price In fact, "Peace at Any Price" would not be an inaccurate description, except that the peace advocates and the freedom of the seas champions are devoting most of their attention for the time being to preserving the ark of the covenant, as far as the Constitution and high nine are concerned, or blazing the path of progress over a road smoothed by a fifteen-macourt, if they feel that way about it. All of which of course is subject to change, almost without notice. It is just possible that there may come a week in which there are no developments in the Supreme court fight possible though not probable. It is possible that in that week a few fiery speeches by such senators as William E. Borah and Hiram VV. Johnson, on the freedom of the seas side, may shove perfunctory news-les- s stories about the high court situation to inside newspaper pat;es. Or that blasts from Senators Nye and Clark against permitting the President to take sides in a European war by deciding which commodities are to be barred from shipment in American bottoms will bring the homefolks up standing. In short, such a situation would bring about what everyone expected to happen before the President sprang his surprise message about enlarging the Supreme court. It would produce such a storm of public reaction that the extremists just might force amendments to make the act more drastic. It is scarcely likely that anything could happen to swing the measure the other way toward giving the President more discretion as between belligerents, for instance, especially as the entire strength of the President must be kept on his very tough fight to get his way in the court battle. He cannot spare any steam at the moment for much else, certainly not for so difficult a fight as getting more discretion would be in view of the extremist bloc in the senate. n e thcr durn.fi cr right ( ave b e ;. i tid e'.eri.y. to tiCtjl u( li'. itli s f..r ,m e. isely i C State., I !..'.. ; f. ;r v toe ser I'1 ( e ci.ui.1.! a lauf Hat Ci.v t tot it, ! ;i a!. as inuc i ::.r rn's the- d( ;. . hns rf yen ( :.v.

"Why should Quezon belittle what his hosts had done?" one whispered to his neighbor. Whereas, look at the World war, and American participation what it cost in lives and treasure. But every objective stated in advance by United States spokesmen war is as to the Spanish-America- n now attained, Quezon rushed on. Cuba is(now free. The Philippines are en route to freedom. Whereas, what became of the objectives stated by American spokesmen as the United States entered the World war to make the world safe for Democracy, etc. He really made quite a case for the glory and honor of the men who had participated in the Spanish-America- n war nnd for the place in results of that war would the history hold despite its military insignifia I , ' - ! . !

Other than the economic problem entailed by Uncle Sam's suddenly enormous gold reserves is the immediate physical problem of keeping the gold itself where it will be safe from criminals among our citizenry and, more important, from tin invading enemy force desperately in need of frsh money. The answer to th s is the new federal depository in Kentucky, which embodies every imaginable that modern sconce has been able to devise. It. is far enough inland 650 miles from the Atlantic coast and more than 2.000 miles from the Pacific -- to require that an invading enemy conquer a large slice of territory before reaching it ot all (it is virtually indestructible from the air). Once reaching it, such an enemy would find its problems only beginning. Guard Secrets Carefully. From the outside the depository is a comparatively smail and rather uninteresting square, white, terraced structure. Its vital and larger sections are under the surface of the earth, hidden from view. Completely submerged is the actual gold vault itself, which is 64 feet long, 40 feet wide and two stantly.

Readers will perhaps recall the which was made over great the first shipment of gold bullion into the new depository January 13. And an interesting spectacle it certainly was. From Philadelphia, 200 million dollars worth of the bullion was sent to Fort Knox aboard a special fourteen-ca- r train. There was approximately 200 tons in the shipment, since, at the present value of $35 an ounce, a million dollars in gold weighs about a ton. Machine gun muzzles stuck out from the sides of the gold train like quills from an angry porcupine's Lack. A dummy train went ahead of it down the track to decoy any along the right of way. The load was relayed to armored cars and trucks of the mechanized cavalry unit bristling with a ferocity guaranteed to defv the attacks of any pirate bands which be m waiting. But the entire might load was passed through the doors of three-incsteel and lowered in the elevators to the subterranean vault without anybody turning a hair. Reporters and photographers were on hand, but were not admitted inside A week later the second shipment this one of about 120 million s in bullion, arrived at the Fort Knox stronghold, once more accompanied by Uncle Sam's fighting men and their full but minus the convoy of equipment, photogrsphcrs.

Curley, Massachusetts' political war horse, last year, Curley's backers were constantly insisting that I,odge was too young, and stressing the importance of age. Now Lodge finds himself involved in his first big senate battle, and the chief idea of his opponents is that Supreme court justices are too old! All of which is amusing, but then so is the discussion of age of the justices at all in this connection. For, as senators opposing President Roosevelt point out, his plan would not remove the older justices it would merely put additional justices in with them and that there is nothing to prevent a court of fifteen justices, all of whom might be over eighty, at some future day. Not that the President desires this, but there is no legal way of forcing justices even the six new ones who may be appointed if and when the President wins his fight to retire at any given age. The only way that can be accomplished is by constitutional amendment, to which of course apply all the objections the President has to solving the other problems by constitutional amendment it would take too long and be too easy for a militant minority to block.
