Ily Byron Price
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington)
With the war-cry of the blue eagle
resounding so loudly, It would be
cany to got the Impression that little
but the NRA Is stirring in Washing
ton. That Is far from tne case. While
General Johnson has been wrestling
with codes and rumors of codes,
problems of many different sorts
have wrinkled the brows of officials
in other quarters.
A Itellcate Problem
The attention attracted by the ex
plosion In Cuba was small compared
to the anxiety it caused the Wash
ington government.
Mr. Roosevelt had not forgotten
that when he ran for vice president
In 1020. a political storm of great
proportions arose over the part he
had taken, as assistant secretary of
the navy, In composing matters in
Haiti through the use of United
States .marines.
In his peace note of May 15 he had
taken the bold step of declaring
against sending armed forces across
any international boundary. He had
said some sharp things about Japan's
course in Manchuria.
Yet In Cuba he had run plumb
Into a situation which by all the
precedents called for the marines.
What to do caused more worry than
appeared on the surface.

Simultaneously, private pressure
for Russian recognition increased.

Only a few month ago. the com

Recognition Is accepted generally

Itookkeepers Disagree
In the domestic field, much dis
cussion has arisen over the dally
treasury statement, which continues
to show a mounting deficit. Some
officials think the amount spent on
the emergency program should be
left out of this announcement, and
others protest that It shouldn't. Mr.
Roosevelt himself must decide

others who rebelled against the

Among the things unmentloned by
