(INS)

President Roosevelt began his third
year In the White House today under conditions vastly different from
that squally fourth' of March two
years ago Yet rather strangely
reminiscent.

as then, he is confronted
with something of a crisis. Two
years ago It was financial. He was
inducted into office to the doleful
dirge of bank doors banging shut.
Today his immediate crisis Is legislative. The music for his second an
nlversary n the White House Is
the growing of a recalcitrant congress that threatens to get out of
hand on a number of issues.
Foremost Is the senate rebellion
against the $4,880,000,000 work-r- e
Now,

lief bill.
Next is the readiness of congress
to vote the $2,500,000,000 soldiers
bonus, which would upset Mr.
Roosevelt's fiscal plans, and per-halead to currency inflation
upon which he Is not yet willing to
embark.
Then there is the deadlock over
program, which
his
involves old age pensions and some
form of unemployment Insurance,
and the fact that a hostile senate
is preparing a vigorous investigans

tion Into the operations of the

NRA, Keystone of the Roosevelt

As for Mr. Roosevelt, philosophically starting the last half of
his administration, he is determined to "stop this business of

He is now convinced,

months of eperience, that millions

FOREIGN POLICY

THEME OF TALK
A. A. Rerle, Recent Speaker

at UK Convocation, Makes
Address over National and
Columbia Networks.

"When there is a foreign problem, the soundest way to approach
it Is to straighten out the home
situation, for most foreign problems have domestic roots." This
was the conclusion reached by
Adolph A. Berle, Jr., New York
City Chamberlain, In an address
last Thursday over the National
Broadcasting company networks.
The speaker stated that because
of the constant flow of funds from
one country to another, the first
and greatest force which must be
studied In determining foreign
forces is that of mobile capital.
On the grounds that long-terforeign debts are very seldom paid,
Mr. Berle suggested that "we might
begin to wonder whether the cultivation of foreign loans was ever
desirable at least In a country like
ours where we do not struggle for
foreign territories or Ironclad control of foreign markets." He expressed the opinion that where our

because of tariff monoply.

Policy," sponsored by the Intercollegiate Council in cooperation with

Type Is Fast

PEACE POLL IS CITED
The typical "rah rah" college boy
who went to college to enjoy life,
yell his head off, and die for dear
old Alma Mater, is disappearing
from the campus and is being re
placed by the student Interested in
world affairs and social and politi
cal economy, according to Dr. Wal
ter A. Jessup in his first report as
president of the Carnegie Founda
tion for the Advancement
of
Teaching.
To college students throughout
the country, this is of particular
significance,
as it concurs very
closely with a recent query made
by the Literary Digest to various
college editors in regard to the
truth of the statement. As added
evidence of this statement, the
recent peace poll is pointed out, as
it proved among other things that
students of today are more serious- minded than their predecessors of
the twenties.
However, while putting in a good
word for the average college stu
dent, Dr. Jessup also sounded a
warning that a struggle for survival
among American colleges was imminent. Already, he said, there are
some American institutions that are
so far from fulfilling their func
tions that they might as well a ban- don the struggle. "Survival will be
conditioned by intelligent leadership, high morale, and the courage
to be sincere with the students by
selecting and educating them only
in the field of institutional competency and in that field doing a
genuine and significant job," Dr.
Jessup said.

THE FORGOTTEN
CHAPERONE

The munitions Industries, appar

won one game out of twelve, but
there Is one explanation that will
suffice for Its failure and that was
because the students would not
turn out to see them play. The
main reason for this was that the
only available playing field was
Epplng Park, and as you all know
it is quite a distance from the
campus. No university athletic team
can win games without the support
of the student body, and thst is the
basic answer for Kentucky's poor
showing in the college baseball
world last season.
Last year's diamond team was
the first one to appear at Kentucky
since 1930; consequently it Is logical reasoning that it would not win
the majority of Its games. No team
can be a success the first year
being the fatal cause.
The lads who composed the 1934
team had not played together since
1930
when they played on the
Freshmen team, and the three year
layoff proved to be too detrimental.
When the Athletic Council installed baseball in the 1934 athletic
schedule, they appropriated $600 for
the cause, and as far as can be
learned only about $250 of this was
spent, the team using automobiles
