...Presidential Labor Day statement. By coincidence it sounded so much like a pointed reply to C. I. O.'s major-domo that some papers described it as such.

On one major point, the President and John Lewis agreed: "The conference table must eventually take the place of the strike...

Last week the British destroyer Havock was also on Mediterranean patrol, off Alicante. Shooting past her went the long white wake of a submarine torpedo.

With a warning to American, British, oil and mining interests, Rightist sympathizers, that the revolution would proceed despite "discontent at popular conquests," the President sat down. As he did so a cameraman tumbled off the platform. Superstitious Congressmen muttered among themselves that this was a bad omen...
