...press, Franklin Roosevelt's remarks about the U. S. seemed considerably more pertinent than David's about a citizen of Zion. They were a review of his first five years in office, a highly metaphorical explanation of administrative policies in terms of "the old ship of State." Since March 4, 1933, the President said, enormous gains had been made toward some of his goals, more gradual gains toward others. The goals in any case remained the same. In a 1935 press conference, to which he referred the reporters, he had defined them...
...ardent small-boat sailor. Franklin Roosevelt naturally conceives of the ship of State as a small yacht, steered by a hand tiller which, to keep the boat on a straight course, the skipper must shift as the wind changes. Said the President: A year ago when inflation threatened, the helm was shifted far to starboard. Last autumn, warned of a threatened deflation, the Administration put it hard to port. While his listeners were trying to calculate what, if anything, all this meant in terms of political Right & Left, the President made his main point: that to regard a shift...
Pasteur. Down the ways of Penhoet's big shipyards at St. Nazaire, France, fortnight ago screeched a 30,000-ton French Line luxury ship for the France-South America run. All the 695-ft. vessel's first and second-class rooms, as well as some of the third class, will be outside. Top speed will be 28 knots, far faster than anything in the South Atlantic. Her predecessor was the Atlantique, mysteriously burned out during her trials in 1933, on which London and other insurance groups paid $11,000,000 insurance...
...begin her trial runs in the next fortnight, Holland-America Line's air-conditioned flagship is scheduled to arrive in the U. S. next May. Almost exactly the size and speed of Britain's new Mauretania (see below), The Netherlands' vessel differs from the British ship in that it is streamlined, has egg-shaped, sootless funnels, and its $12,000,000 cost was met entirely without Government subsidy or mail contracts. First ship to explore New York's Hudson River 329 years ago was also Dutch-Henry Hudson's Halve Maen, which would fit neatly...
...years ago-the new ten-deck Mauretania is 750 ft. long and, with a speed of 22 knots from her steam turbines, will cross the Atlantic in six days. Carrying 1,250 passengers and with air-conditioned public rooms, she is specifically designed for competition with such U. S. ships as the Washington and Manhattan. Because of an elaborate gymnasium she will be publicized in England as the "fitness ship." To keep the name Mauretania in the family, her owners, Cunard White Star Ltd., transferred it to a small pleasure steamer operating between Southampton and the Isle of Wight while...
