Already the New Deal appears to be preparing to fight Senatois and Representatives who have opposed the admin istration on the Supreme Court plan, the reorganization bill and the wages and hour measure It is more likely however, that President Roosevelt will see the handwriting on the wall and change his course of opposing Congressmen who have not supported him 100 per cent The President ts a smart politician and, if he sees that the country appears likely t» back anti-New Deal Dem ocrats, it is a fairly safe bet that he will desist from cam paigning against them Contrai \ t o this opinion, is the school of thought that holds that Mr Roosevelt never has been known to back water in any of his political fights, which would mean that he would light to a finrsh for the reform measures that he has proposed and asked Congress to pass. Fighting for these reforms would require elimination fiom Congress of Democratic gentlemen who have opposed the most extreme of New Deal reforms. The move In LaFollette to form a third party will not get far. unless there is more of a split in Democratic and Republican ranks that political analysts have detected A strong front on the pdrt of the G. O. P. will draw to it thousand* of v anti-Ncw Deal Democrat's,, the same as President Roosevelt and Democratic Congressmen attracted many followers of th e Republican, party two an d four years ago. ' One Word Led To Another By Arthur 'Bugs' Baer The Bug Looks at Europe % Diplomacy has reached that stage in Europe when the the boys are willing to exchange prisoners. Sir Anthony Eden was the first victim of the elimina tion tournament. He dropped rifdit out of the spieling bee The word lie failed to spie| correctly* was diplomacy. Hut he had a tough job. He had to get a secret treaty with France and Russia againsUGermany Then, he had to gel one with Germany and Russia against France And. finally, if those two didn't jell, he, had to get one with Germany and France against Russia. While Eden wa$ playingNioth ends against the middle, like a bo\ practicing on a piccolo, the other diplomats were also browsing around the works on surreptitious cavalcades Sir Anthony was the first political hitch-hiker to thumb himself out of a ride\ But there will be others in various .countries.

They fight until a stranger steps in, and then they let the peacemaker have it on the chinslrap. It's a trap.

Hill— 0 Editors of the big wire service*, tell me that throughout the coun- tr> newspapers are giving morr- space to foreign news, in response to a rising and widening public interest in world politics riven the little cross-road weeklies are using a great ninny syndicated stories on foreign affairs The cracker-barrel sages are beginning to discourse on Pan-llermanism. the Danubian states, the road to Hagdad, collective security and isolation. The Town Meeting of the air. which has had a highly success, ful season with its weekly national forum covering domestic and world issues, has stimulated a great deal of interest and discus sion and has become a unique barometer of the national trend of public opinion, particulark in foreign affairs. With this in mind, this depart ment called up the Town Meet ing for a report on what people are thinking about this coun try's attitude, or what ought to be its attitude, on over-seas wais antl rumors of war They get about 2,0110 letters a week from all over the United States, Canada and Cuba. These letters come from unheard of little mountain or prairie towns frum persons famous and obscure, fmm big cities and farms. . Their most articulate collective voice is for keeping out of other people's <iuarrels. for adequate na tional defense, for sensible en operation in commercial and cul tural intercourse with other na tions—HL'T. no foreign war or boycott commitments, no tie ups which might demand that v.*- again shed blood and money on foreign soil, to serve alien pur poses and leave us again holding the bag Such is tlie preponderant opinion of thi.- cross section ..f America, and it is made cleat that the cross-section will be pretty cross if we don't stav at home und tend to our knitting We lost the lives and the bil lions which we tossed into the l.i.-t Kuropean stew of ancient dynastic hatreds and power rivalries, but we did learn a lot of geography We are learning a lot more now. as the Town Meeting letters at test, and if we keep our wits about us it won't cost us a cent For instance, if we look sharp, we w ill note that the vast province of Sinkrang, in Northwest China, has a long border on India. And again, keeping our eyes peeled, we will observe that wary old Eng land isn't pleased to see this .province being overrun by Russia, and doesn't want it altogether dominated by Japan She's going to do her ow-n goal keeping on all the avenues and approaches to India. Therefore, snreds of evidence that Britain is cooking Up a new secret deal with Japan, sharing control of the buf fer strip clear across north China, become more plausible One of the most astute stu dents of Far Eastern affairs a man who has lived in China and Japan for many years and wnt ten several books about Pan Asiatic politics, tells me that this is exactly whqj. is happening Britnjp will be complacent even quietly helpful in the subjugation of China, and will have her usual bulge in the vast Chinese mar kets with her entrepot shifting South to Canton In Europe, they're in a huddle and haggle in the moment before the scrimmage.

In the last three weeks, \having a Chinaman's chance\ has gone up 70 points. It is a very popular state of affairs over here. In America, nobody cares who wins the Sino-Japanese con flict so long as the Japs get licked. The Tokyo bigwigs blandly de clared they were only warring on the Chinese to make them more friendly Well, the last few weeks, the Japs have been get ting the same brand of friend ship in reverse. Npw the Ja p military says the Chinese aren't playing fair It seems Nippon's general staff had plans all laid out in blueprints showing the war was all over as soon as Shanghai fell. Then they revised the plans to prove China would be finished when Nanking was seized Well, Nanking fe\J. too. But I guess the Chinese ar e just too dumb to know when they are licked It is a dirty trick on the Japan ese general staff Now they've got to get out a third set of blueprints.

Sally's Sallies By Lisa Grenelle— # Is your child lazy' Do you have to \nag\ to get him off to school, badger him to make him go out to play' Be careful. Don't force your child to do anything he seems reluctant to do unless you are sure why he is reluctant. You see, children aren't natur ally lazy. There is always some reason behind a child's languid pose. It may seem to be some thing organic and serious which you are aggravating dangerously by forcing the child Or the child may- be suffering from some dread or fear that he won't tell you about. If he must constantly be driven to school, something is wrong; if he dreads his school hates it, better send him to another. He can't learn much if he Is unhappy Perhaps he isn't popular, not adjusted socially. Sometimes such a situation clears up by itself, but often the child needs the par ents' help. Visit die school—not opce, but several times, and at different hours, when you're not expected —and try to find out why he dreads it. Talk with his teacher, the other children, the principal Children Differ Some children arc naturally more active than others, have more nervous energy and vitality, so don't expect your children to be necessarily as full of \pep\ as' your neighbors'. It rhay not be in their nature. Their systems may need less ex ercise and more rest. Be very sure of your ground before you urge your child to use up more vitality than he is inclined to use. If your child appears abnorm ally lazy, take him to a doctor and have him \overhauled\; have His glandular cpndition looked in-' to. If he is too fat. ask the doc tor if you should put him on a diet But don't do it without the doctor's orders So—if your child is lazy, don't drive him to run about. Put him to bed earlier, and let him rest an hour afterlife mid-day meal, in a dark room with the windows open and all tight clothing removed. Never judge your child's re quirements by other children. Study hfm and act accordingly The Brighter Side - By Damon Runyon - net u s. P»t- oir- 0 We are one cash customer of the cinema who likes pictures (hat do not involve burning buildings, tottering walls, big winds, tidal waves, roaring planes, belching cannon, shootings, stnbblngs, slug- glngs and other disorders and disasters attended by loud noises. We can do without too much intense suffering too. although of course a little suffering Is necessary to the complete enjoymout of n picture. As a matter of fact, we dearly love to suffer quietly with, the folks up there on the screen, as long as we are pretty well as sured In advance that we will all bo okay aj. the finish It Is when they pile it on too thick that we object However, we suppose we must be In tlip minority of the cash customers because we do not see many quiet, gentle pictures, wllh^ out sound effects. Probably they do not pay or the producers would make .more of them. The pictures that seem to have the greatest vogue are those that feature holocaust, and hollering even though the customers must realize that these destructions and distractions are strictly phoney We caught up with a little picture In a town outside New York recently that filled our Idea of an evening's entertainment without- hie, flood or sudden death. This picture Is quiet, and gentle, and as plain as an old shoe, and Hollywood will not heave any of those bronze statuettes at it. but we hope It makes money for the {pro ducers. That would encourage; them to turn out more pictures pitched in a slightly lower key than a loud scream. The picture Is called \Judge Hardy's Children '• The story Is nothing spectacular but It suffices and the characters are similar to nearly all Americans, it Is a tale of American homo life and the customer can sli back with his knees comfortably propped up against the seal In ironi of him nnd gnaw on his peanut brittle in the calm assurance that no one Is going to get murdered under harrowing circumstances and that none of the actors are likely to go Into the violent gesticulations that are characterlslc or our major produc tions.
