Franklin Roosevelt had moved carefully, according to the timetable he keeps, a table whose time is set not by the Naval Observatory, but by public opinion. In a speech to the world he had laid down the broad outline for U. S. action-an outline so broad that it swept with it the almost unanimous support of the country; in a speech to Congress he had somewhat narrowed his audience but had left the specific method of action still unspecified. Last week he got down to cases...
...common of late years that the average U. S. citizen scarcely cocks an eye at them. But Detroit last week saw a picket line that tied up traffic. Up & down in front of dingy American Lady Corset Co. factory, in freezing weather, paraded six women. Four, husky and broad-beamed, wore corsets over their street clothes.

It was also stated that attempts had been made to improve the esprit de corps "via beery conviviality." Since the beginning of our Navy, an important requirement for an officer has been that he be a gentleman. The R.O.T.C. trains officers...
...labelled as such. But the great body of middle-roaders in Congress-those who call for "all aid short of war" and mean it--are in a quandary. They realize that a policy of giving all material aid to Britain can effectively be implemented only by a delegation of broad powers in the interests of speed and efficiency. They recognize that the terms of the transactions are relatively unimportant--that in effect whatever we do will be giving goods to Britain. And they are generally aware that international law, murdered by Germany and by our own destroyer deal...
