Roosevelt's oniy comment was: "I have, always said that I was for a orocrcssive candidate. I still am." He did not mention Garner's name, but he didn't have to. It was more than obvious that he was 400 per cent against Garner. Roosevelt's friend then came out point blank and asked him how he felt about a third term. "Is there any physical, mental, or spiritual reason," he asked, "which might prevent you from running again The president replied that he; was mentaltyand physically absolutely abso-lutely fit, .then added: "But I'm like a bal player who's been pitching a long time.

N There had-been those who feared that the visit of the reigning British Brit-ish monarch to the United States might be misinterpreted. They had dreaded a mis-step, a' mishap, perhaps, or a flare-up of public opinion .in the United States, based on the fact that Britain still owes the United States billions of dollars dol-lars in war debts. Some Britons had feared .thatNpeople of the United States would draw the conclusion con-clusion that the King and Queen had gone to. enlist their sympathies sympa-thies for the "next war."
