Show The Answerj No Dog Fights for Fido, He Wears Glasses Brackarts Washington Digest President Outlines His Policies In Annual Message to Congress It is always ex- pected that the annual message to congress from the President of the United States will outline his policies. The message is presumed to reflect, in a broad general formula, what the Chief Executive regards as the major problems and what should be done about them. Moreover, the annual message on the state of the Union is a document that usually embraces some political considerations and, frequently, therefore, constitutes the basis for a test of its authors leadership either from what is proposed or because of things which were omitted. President Roosevelts recent message meets each of the phases just described. He outlined the general policies: 1. the necessity for armed preparedness in protection of our religion, our liberty and our form of government democracy; 2. he disclosed that he has no intention f retreating from his New Deal social policies and that to buttress them and accomplish national protection against dictatorship, he proposes to keep on with his policies of spending. He likewise omitted to give one bit of assurance that there is any prospect of a balanced budget or any means by which the business of the country, small as well as large, can look forward to less governmental messing. Thus, there seems little reason to doubt that what Mr. Roosevelt proposed, as well as what he omitted saying, places his current annual message in a position to provide a test of hi3 leadership. There are those among the legislators who do not want larger armed forces; there are those who think an armed America will invite trouble; there are those wanting business recovery here much more than wholesale reform of our national business practices and social relations, and there are those who think there will be no reduction of unemployment until the government itself quits its wild orgy of spending and borrowing they want a balanced budget. Message Most Temperate Roosevelt Has Delivered Any Presidents message is greeted with hurrahs by his party supporters and hisses from the minority. This one was no exception. These shouts of praise and denunciation, respectively, do not always go to the merits. Frequently, they are more than half political. And if I were asked to evaluate those that I have heard in the last 10 days, I should say that each side was about 50 per cent right In the first place, Mr. Roosevelts message this time was the most temperate he has ever delivered, or so it impressed me. There was an evidence of greater sincerity in it than has characterized most of his messages to congress. He spoke out boldly against dictatorships and supported our form of government with an emphasis that belongs with the office of President of the United States. In the matter of armament, he told why he believes it is needed. He may have gone too far; he may be inviting another battle on a subject akin to the long time League of Nations controversy by proposing protection of democracies." Yet, fundamentally, I think it must be agreed that we, in the Western world, must be able to snarl as well as to smile. In the matter of social reforms, there can and will be violent differences of opinion. It appears that Mr. Roosevelt had not listened very closely to the election returns of November 8 because, instead of a "mandate" which he believed he received in 1930, the last election was a distinct brake on the machinery of social reform. In the matter of continued spending, Mr. Roosevelts message must be regarded as having its greatest weakness. There was less justification in his words for the conclusions he reached than in any other phase of the document. Even a substantial number of his own partisans could not swallow his assertions that the spending of some 20 billions of borrowed money was an "investment." People Wondering When Dividends Can Be Expected It is pretty difficult for one to accept these piling deficits and totals of the national debt as temg anything except an extremely dangerous condition. When Mr. Roosevelts argument about the "investment" is followed by a budget message that fixes next year's deficit m excess of $3 300,000,000 and a protable national debt of 0 in 1910 well, a good many $11,500,-000,00- people are WEEK wondering when divi fluids can be expected. Three years ago, Mr. Roosevelt defended the growth of the national debt, saying there was no need to fear it. He held that it could go to $50 000,000,-C0- 0 bs fore it became a real burden bases upon which disagreement with the Chief Executive will rest. I am wondering, for example, whether Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Johnson of California will smell something of a League of Nations aroma about the program of defending any and all democracies. Friendly interpreters of the Presidents message believe his program contemplates only a strengthened support of the Monroe doctrine, but the other sides views envision national policy going beyond that point. It may not happen, but what if the school of thought decides to breathe fire about "new alliances under the expanded defense of democracies?

At the time the picture was taken the calves were 18 days old. From the standpoint of political considerations, there were numerous published comments, after the message was delivered, in which members of the house and senate openly chided Mr. Roosevelt for attempting to capitalize politically upon sentiment among the church people. I relate that because it illustrates how no political leader can be quite sure when he makes a statement whether it will be received favorably or not. It is so easy, and every politician knows it, to make a perfectly sincere statement, only to learn two days later that it was being held up to ridicule as nink or being torn to pieces as being unsound, fundamentally. Those who have been razzing Mr. Roosevelt's use of the subject of religion recognize, of course, that destruction of free religion has been one of the keystones of dictatorship. They recognize further that the actions of Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini in this regard have been responsible, as much as any other one thing, in creating bitter resentment in the United States. Obviously, then, they look upon the Roosevelt appeal in this regard as being good politics, but they are unwilling to let him get away with it. In summary, then, it seems proper to catalogue Mr. Roosevelts 1939 message to congress as one of his best state papers, but it must be added that it stands to create greater difficulties for him than any other annual message he has dtliv-ereWhether one agrees with all, Returning from a sojourn of (He months In the far noith of Alaska, on Ushigat Island, which she leased or only a part, or none of its pro- from the government.

Although much Jules Vernish stuff has been written about his "rockets to the moon and about shooting people across the Atlantic in a few minutes, he has been an aloof and patient scientist, intent on seeing only what he sees and not making any handsome promises. So far as this courier knows, the suggestion by Maj. Ja,mes R. Randolph that rockets may replace heavy artillery, for long-ranbombardment of cities, is (he first official recognition f their possible use in warfare. He specifically cites the work of Doctor Goddard, at a time when Doctor Goddard is piling up new patents and getting some of L his biggest sizzlers under It is also the time when the tiny, motored plane, evolving from the toy, and controlled by radio, is absorbing the interest of the army experimenters r. as a possible At Roswell, N. M., financed by the foundation. Daniel Guggenheim Doctor Goddard has a unique desert laboratory with plenty of elbow room and sky room. He now has a gyro steering mechanism on his rockets, by which they may be accurately aimed. He has gained 30 per cent in range over his best shots of two years ago, and is now forcing his rockets to a speed of 700 miles per hour. His most valuable contribution to rocketeering, noted by Major Randolph, is his continuous Sow of power, instead of the single initial explosion. Gasoline and oxygen, mixing and exploding as they issne from a tail nozzle, give steady propulsion. Doctor Goddard, an amiable, unassuming, baldish man, began his rocket experiments at Clark university in 1914. He is a physicist, absorbed in pure science, admitting that we might hit the moon with a rocket if we wanted to spend that much power, but so far he keeps down to earth on immediate and specific problems and makes progress. NEW n There are prospects of opposition to his arms program confronting the President, therefore, among the school of thought, as well as among those representatives and senators from inland areas where there never has been much fear from attacks by other nations There will be ridicule of his arms program, too, on the basis of his indication that it will provide work. Thqt ridicule will be justified. Work can not start on ships for a year and a half or two years after they are authorized, and supplies for the army, even an expanded army, will not call so many men back to factories. Proposals for continued spending, as outlined by the President, made a number of strong Democrats see red again. Men of the type of Senator Byrd of Virginia and Bailey of North Carolina, and others in the senate and house. They can not be reconciled to such a program and they will have the Republican minority backing them up wherever and whenever they attack continued spendmg of government funds. The proposal to continue spending, of course, is linked like a tangle of yam with the whole question of relief administration, and there is no telling what may come of that row. Senator King, Utah Democrat and anti New Dealer, already has a bill in the hopper to eliminate the entire federal relief setup. He would turn it back to the states, providing only for grants of federal money when the states cant meet their obligations. On top and alongside of the Democrats who, for one reason or another, will differ with Mr. Roosevelts program will be found almost a solid Republican phalanx. There are 169 of them in the house, now, and 26 in the senate. This is far from enough to control, but when that number is coupled with any defections from the Democratic ranks, the answer spells out into the words "trouble for Mr. Roosevelt." 1 By LEMUEL F.
