White House in 1933.
Workers, he added, have been
benefitted by an Increase in Jobs,
payrolls and farm Income, and the
establishment of the social secur

law.
"The success of the comprehen

which was launched in 1933, is in
fact already assured," he said.

The results of efforts to. boost
farm income, he said, have been

Comedy contrasted with sorrow
at the embassy. A fashionably

"In view of that," she con

LONDON, Sept. 2-(AP) Two questions occupied Lon

the city all but completed the task of digging in for war.
One was : ?
"How. long can the Poles hold out V
The second was :
"When will America come in ?"- -
The fact that Britain had not,
yet declared war on Germany
didn't upset the calculations of
the man on the street. He as
sumed "we are foT it" and calmly
made his preparations.
He considered the Polish army
reviewed extensively by the
press in the last three months
fully able to withstand the
Germans for at least half a year.
The more confident said it
would be a year and added: "By

The streets rapidly took on; a"

wrinkle was the use of a trans

women and children filled sand
bags. Men in Khaki
Men and boys with valises ainl
khaki knapsacks rushed through
the streets looking for buses to

officers and reservists fur

hastily dressed militia.
Crowds,; like those in every Eu

to read general mobilization post
ers in postoffice windows.

going off to war together in tbeir
uniforms the man in full terri

khaki of the women's reserve.
In the driveways of the larg
