Last week long memories in Washington turned back to one chill morning in January, two years ago. That morning at Jersey City Franklin Roosevelt boarded a train to Washington to confer over War debts, a matter which the President-Hoover-thought of some importance. After he had eaten luncheon in his private car, Mr. Roosevelt's advisers gathered around the table. Of the five who were there to counsel him on the responsibilities he was to assume, several were quite obscure. There was a balloon-jowled professor, Raymond Moley, and a handsome but obscure young doctor (Ph. D.), Rexford...
...liberals of the Senate from forcing the New Deal considerably farther Left than Franklin Roosevelt was ready to go. When the President sent his $4,000,000.000 work relief bill to Congress he did not consult Senator Glass. When it got to the Senate Appropriations Committee, he did not confer with Chairman Glass.

Up went Starace last week to Sestrieres, swank yet popular priced winter resort. There he went snugly to bed. got up early next morning, started zipping down...
...question of how Germany will be able to meet her payments to France for the Saar coal mines. But the most serious problem of all, which has recently been disturbingly quiescent, is that of Austrian independence. To ensure this, Foreign Minister Laval has just left for Rome to confer with Mussolini, though neither is over-confident of results. Once the Saar is forgotten, there is no telling what Hitler will do in Central Europe. There is nothing permanent in the existing Austrian...
