PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
HILL GARDEN
In one important respect, the
President's address to the recon-
vened Seventy-Sixth Congress dif-
fers from the opening messages that
he has read heretofore. No agenda
was outlined for the legislative
branch. The streps of importance
so far as the work of Congress is
concerned was shifted to the budget
message to be transmitted today.
America at large has need to heed
the warning that the President
makes in stressing the necessity
that Congress must meet the re-
quirements of national defense, the
single expenditure of government,
he said, in which the budget mes-
sage will recommend increase in-
stead of decrease. Ours is a neu-j
trsl country, but there was cold
comfort for the dictatorships in the
phrases in which the President of
the United States discussed the
world situation. America itself, he
said, will become a shabby, place
in which to live if the world is to
be ruled by the aggressor few. '
Certainly the nation can and
should unite in support of the earn-
est plea for unity of action againsi,
the infiltration and spread of alien
doctrine foreign to the institutions
under which this country has won ,
and held its free institutions on the
basis of liberty of thought, speech
and conscience. The President, just-
ly inveighing against overstatement
apd vituperation that “arrays class
against class, man against man,"
may have overlooked some of the in-
tempemee with which he has in the
Franklin Roosevelt spoke Wednes-
day sa a Arthright American with
his country’s interest at heart. From
his condemnation of aggressor greed
that has torn Europe to his earnest
hope for continued American care
for the weak and underprivileged,
the the distress and unemployed,
there was nothing in the message
to the Seventy Sixth Congress that
cannot command the wholehearted darling.” ^

The nurse entered the professor’s

The professor looked up. “Well,

than any person I ever heard.”

PREPARING
FOR THE BLOW
It is with a sober sense of the
realities of the war situation that
Great Britain has called up enough
recruits to bring its armed total to
3,500,000. This action is taken at
a time when there is speculative
basis for the belief that peace is
near at hand, and when each da\
adds to the supply of rumors in con-
nection with peace moves. The Brit-
ish are aware of the true state of
affairs in Germany in respect to
peace. They know that the Nazi
regime faces the imperative neces-
sity of scoring an important mic-
ress within the first six months of
1940, and that there are just tw.
ways in which the bid for such a
victory can be made; on land and
through air. They know that it is
most likely to be on land, taking
the form of a Urge scale, power-
fully organized offensive on the
western front- It is on the basis
of that belief that the British army
is being increased.
There are several facta that sup-
port the belief that thing# are ap-
proaching the desperate stage in
Germany. The attacks on Britis
have not met -with any-
like the success that Germans
and the British navy's as
has become more pro
in recent weeks. It is ap-
parent that Russia cannot help Ger-
many. The Russian attack on Fin-
land has marred whatever hopes
Germany may have had of ship-
ments of food or oil from the east
ward, aa the Russians-are busy with
their own needs and troubles If
