...shipments of arms to Spain. Passed in January 1937, the embargo has been consistently criticized for doing less to effect U. S. neutrality than to assist Generalissimo Franco, by its disheartening effect on the Loyalist Government. Like the Scott Resolution three weeks ago, the Nye Resolution apparently had the tacit approval of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With the President still off on his fishing trip, Secretary Hull decided to delay his shot-in the form of a note to be sent to the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee-until his partner could return to advise him in effect what kind...
When the campaign began, all three candidates by tacit consent tried to shun the one big State issue which might have made the campaign more complex: the trans-Florida ship canal, which north Florida wants, and south Florida fears. But by last week. Claude Pepper, deciding most of his votes will come from north Florida anyway, told citizens of that section he was strong for the canal, accused Messrs.

The Administration's failure to put a quietus on sit-down strikes, the vicious new tool of John L. Lewis, and Mr. Roosevelt's tacit and at times open support of labor in all its disputes with capital, and finally the farcical "hearing" of the National Labor Relations Board, which has earned the name of being a C. I. O. affiliate, have all added to the spirit of unrest which walks abroad in the land...
