timent on the situation is divided
Some say the United States should
withdraw from China and not risk
further "incidents." Foremost
among advocates of withdrawal
are Senators SlcCarran of Nevada,
Shipstead of Minnesota. Senator
Borah opposes hasty acMon.
Meanwhile, a variety of gossip
is making the rounds in the wake
of the recent changes in the Lon
don and Berlin embassies. After
the announcement that Joseph P.
Kennedy would succeed Robert
W. Bingham at the Court of St.
James, and that Hugh R. Wil
son would replace William E.
Dodd at Berlin, speculation has
been rife a^ip the real story be
hind the news.
In the case of the Wilson ap
pointment, explanation is simple
Dodd was disliked by the Nazis.
However, the appointment of
Kennedy to the London post, most
important ambassadorial position
has no such simple background.
Kennedy, Business Go-Between
Kennedy's popularity with busi
ness is matched by his rapidly in
creasing influence with the Presi
dent. As intimate as Harry Hop
kins or ThomasJ"the Cork") Cor
coran, some say Kennedy, acting
in the role of mediator between
Roosevelt and the rank and file
of business men, was largely re
sponsible for the present peace
overtures to industry and finance.
Thus, if he remained here, Ken
nedy would be pounted on to go
far in New Deal circles.
That the President acted wisely
in appointing Kennedy to the
foreign post is not to be question
ed. But the evident speed with
which his name was. suggested and
approved by the inner circle casts
suspicion on the deeper motives
of the President's advisors.
Business Good Copy
Apropos of the recent "truce"
between business and the New
Deal is the growing sentiment in
Washington for rapid action on
the problem of relieving business.
Repercussions are still being felt
from the convention of the Na
tional Association of Manufactur
ers at New York's swanky Wald
orf-Astoria.
Ordinarily the NAM meet would
get only routine handling in the
news columns but this year, with
stocks off 30 to 40 percent and
the New York Times' Index down
almost 40 points, editors guessed
rightly that the "man on the
street" would be interested in
what Business, with a capital B,
thought about the situation.
Lammont du Pont pleaded for
stabilization of the laws that con

But when Ernest T. Weir,
Chairman of the Board of Nation
al Steel, who with Tom tiirdler of
Republic led the fighL/of . LiMle
Steel against the CKylet loose a
volley against the Perkins Labor
Policy, he flashed across Page One
of every metropolitan daily.
Weir blamed labor strikes for
a wage, profit and product loss
of $5,000,000,000 this year. He
condemned strikes as a wasteful
and unsatisfactory method of set
tling labor disputes. He demanded
that Washington establish a clear
cut and fair labor policy.
Critics were quicK to report

One of the worst aftermaths of
the NAM convention was the an
nounced investigation by the La
Follette group to see whetiher or
not members who voiced pious
sentiments in favor of improved
working conditions were treating
their workers according to law.
This, plus the now memorable
"Fascist" speech of Secretary
Ickes, has done much to make
business men wonder if they were
ever really OOt of the New Deal
doghouse at all.'
Will It Be Aiken?
When Vermont's Governor,
George D. Aiken, found himself
being boomed as a possible 1940
GOP Presidential candidate he
modestly commented "he didn't
know what he'd done to deserve
it." The Aiken incident came al
most simultaneously with the an
nouncement by ex-Governor Alf
M. Landon that he would not con
, sider running again if he should
"happen" to be re-nominated.
Governor Aifteli, who slightly
resembles Landon, is a tall, wrink
led, grey-haired New Englander
whose manner and bearing is re
mindful of Calvin Coolidge,
though less restrained. He is com
paratively young, and hai a flair
for being both progressive and
practical. His call for a party
"purge" of reactionary elements
and for a constructive program in
step with the nation's problems
should go far to attract younger
voters back to the fold.

when an LL.D. degree was con

by her workfcjJli caring for the
destitute of all ages in New York
City. In the citation read to the
college president when Miss Tous

bound degree, she was described
as "neighborliness personified, ef

ther said, "The development of

whole country has owed more than
it can ever repay to her uncom

Creosote which is palatable and can
even be taken frequently. and contin
uously by both adults and children.

you are not satisfied with the relief
obtained, the druggist is authorized

and it has no hyphen in It. Ask for
It plainly, see that the name on the
bottle is Creomulsion, and you'll
get the genuine product and the re
lief that you want. (Adv.)
