Visitors admire the shiny new Government building by night and then, by day, if not suffering from klieg eyes, stroll along Pennsylvania Avenue to mingle with the throngs of happy shoppers. Night-Lights Again The grave bombing of the United States gun boat, Panay, and the sink ing of the three Standard Oil Tanker*, with consequent loss of nearly a score )f lives, by the Japanese during the Man king battle last week, is still keeping the night-lights burning in Foreign Department offices. The incident brings back vivid memories of 1915-16 to the veteran reporters. Sentiment on the situation is divided. Some say the United States should withdraw from China and should not risk further "incidents". Foremost among advocates of withdrawal are Senators TVIcCarran of Nevada, sod Shipsted of Minnesota. Senator Bonh jpposes hasty action. Meanwhile a variety of gossip is making the rounds in the wake of the recent changes in the London and Berlin embassies. After the announcement that Joseph P. Ken idy would saccted Robert W. Bing ham at the Court of St. James's and that Hugh R. Dodd at Berlin, spec ulation has keen rife as to the real story bciiina the tu.ws. Incase ol the Wiison appointment '? explanation is simple. Dodd was disliked by the Nazis. However, the appointment of Kenedy to the London post, most lias no such simple background. Kennedy, Business Go-Betwesn" .Kennedy's popularity with' busi ness is matched by bis rapidly in creasing influence with the Presi dent. As intimate as Harry Hop kins or Thomas ("the Cork") Cor coran, some say Kennedy acting in the role of mediator between Roose velt and the rank and file of business men, and war largely responsib1* lor trie piv.cm p .uiA;-ov^rtures to industry and finance. Thus, if he remained here, Kennedy would be counted on to go far in New Deal circles. Business Good Copy ;i.pi opos ox the recent "truce" be tween business and the New Deal is the growing sentiment in Wash ington for rapid action on the prob lem of relieving business. Repercus sions are still being felt from thr convention of the National Aasoda? tion of Manufasturers at New York'.i swanky Waldorf-Astoria. Ordinarily the NAM meet would lOuUi.^ udjioung 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 in terested in what Business, with a capital B, thought about the situation. Lammont du Pont pleaded for sta bilization of the laws that control industry and received a mild two column head, inside, _in most sheets. \wlier J.
