...much too young and inexperienced to have been President. In this country men from 40 to 50, having failed at every venture, worm, shout and lie their way into Congress. Once there they will stop at no lie, slander, or debt wished upon posterity, if they think it will keep them there. Members of the Congress, of course, should not be allowed to serve successive terms. Neither should Presidents. To date the cost of reelections in this country is most of the National Debt. Youth should not ask for representation. Youth should take it, and plenty of it. A young...
...Roosevelt has said that the duty of the U. S. neutrality patrol is to keep tabs on far-roving warcraft in American waters. His obvious, implicit premise last week was that submarines, since the sneaky creatures cannot be watched, had best be kept clear away. When a reporter asked whether armed merchant ships also might be barred from U. S. ports, the President said that comparing such ships and submarines was like trying to add pears and apples. Orally amplifying his proclamation, he explained that belligerent submarines may not come within the traditional three-mile limit of U. S. coasts...

Plenty also happened in China to keep U. S. eyes westward to the East. When a Chinese policeman was killed and a Sikh colleague wounded in a Shanghai fracas, polo-playing, hard-working Chairman Cornell S. Franklin of the Shanghai Municipal Council announced that he might ask U. S. Marines to come into the International Settlement and do something the Japanese love to do-restore order. Puppet-elect Wang Ching-wei, popping in and out of his fortified castle in Shanghai's "badlands," announced he was "satisfied that Japan's peace conditions toward China do not infringe...
Dearest Hopes. In 1914 the Malmö Conference of the Three Kings agreed that Scandinavia would try to keep out of World War I while trading to beat the band with all belligerents. Last week in Stockholm it was already clear that World War II is not going to be any picnic for neutrals, but faces them at the outset with grim threats to their independence. Getting right down to cases, Finnish Foreign Minister Eljas Erkko asked Swedish Foreign Minister Rickard J. Sandier, Danish Foreign Minister Peter Munch and Norwegian Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht what concrete assistance, if any, their...
