■Rie race is not to the swift,
hut to those that endure to the
*nd. On the last day of June, it
looked as though the President
had been outdistanced in the con
test for the control of the value
Of the dollar, but the race was by
no means finished. The Senate,
by a vote of 43 to 39, has ap
proved the money legislation,
substantially in the form that
Mr. Roosevelt desired. An opin
ion having been rendered by the
Attorney General snd by the le
gal end of the Teasury Depart
ment, the Administration deter
mined to press the matter to a
vote, notwithstanding the fact
that the White House power ov
er the dollar lapsed, and remain
ed for four days in the place that
was supposed to be its tomb. Re
publicans, and Democrats who
^are not in sympathy with what
amounts virtually to a victory
for the silver wing, hold that the
courts will not sustain the Senate
action, but at the same time ad
mit that at present they do not
know just how the question can
be brought before the bench for
decision.
<f-- -
The plans of the administra
tion in regard to neutrality await
action at the will of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
that body having laid the mat
ter on the shelf for the fourth
time hand running. Senator Pitt
man is quoted as saying that this
particular piece of business will
be disposed of before Congress
packs its trunks, and Majority
Leader Barkley seems to be of
the same mind, although he is
not in a position to state just
what might be expected as to
details. The House bill departs
somewhat from the original
draft. It will however, serve as a
framework for discussion, and
no doubt amendments will pro
duce considerable shuttling back
and foTth before things are re
duced to a condition in which
the lawmakers will be in a posi
tion to vote yes or no.
Danzig, for a long time just
another old town on the Baltic,
continues to retain its place on
the front page. Perhaps England
has no power to keep the ancient
city serene and peaceful, but she
proposes, at least, to see to it
that there shall be no map re-!
vision so far as Danzig is con
cerned. The British Parliament
has extended a credit for a half

billion to her smaller European
allies, and while Poland is men
tioned simply as one of several,
it cannot be doubted that the
threat against the Polish corridor
had something to do with the I
credit legislation. Mr. Hitler has
ordered the amputation of a part
of his official title. Henceforward
he is to be known simply as the
Leader, rather than as the Lead
er and Chancellor of the Realm.!
It is to be feared that the Fuer- j
her entertains no notion of ab- [
breviating his ambitions respect
ing Poland. At least, Great Bri
tain cannot discern a softening;
of heart in that direction.
_ i
Pro and con, the third term
argument goes on apace, without |
assistance or obstruction from
the quarter where the first and
most important word must be
spoken. Secretary lekes remains
an out and out third termer,
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson replying
to Mr. Ickes in characteristically
pointed language. Senator Guf
fey is in favor of a third term, i
but for some reason his endorse j
ment did not produce enthusiasm
in the group that it was intended j
to benefit. When the nomination!
was tendered to one of the Sher!
mans, either General William T. ;
or John, his reply was: “I will j
not run if nominated, or serve if
elected.” Mr. Coolidge did not
“choose to run,” a statement 1
which was an enigma to many, 1
though definite enough among j
those accustomed to New Eng-1
land speech. Until Mr. Roosevelt)
comes out with something ap- j
proximating the bluntness of Mr. j
Sherman, there is nothing for the'
non-combatant to do saving to
get what fun he can out of the j
scrimmage that is being carried '
on by those who are violently j
“fur” or violently “agin.”
A Senate committee has de
clined to take a hand, even in
directly in the Third Term con
troversy which has Washington
thoroughly recited. A bill limit
ing the Presidential tenure to
six years, has been moved along
without comment, for considera- j
tion by the Senate as a whole, j
A similar bill, making both Presi
dent and Vice President inelig
ible for re-electon, but leaving
it open for a Vice-President to
be nominated for the Presidency,
was disapproved in committee
by a ten to two ballot
