THE SPIRIT WAS WILLING
When the Quebec fur breeders cooperative association
presented Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt with a mink coat which
would wholesale at $8,000 (you guess what the retail price

in which it was Given."
Ever since the news story relating these details was pub
lished we've been puzzling over that cryptic utterance. It is
susceptible of various interpretations. We may assume that

Mrs. itooseveir. Knew me spirit, in wmcn me gin m iunuo,
Lacking this knowledge she would, of course, have been un
able to assert positively that her spirit of acceptance, was the
same. She has not denned it for publication, however.
Perhaps the spirit was simply that of big-heartedness. That
could be ; Mrs. Roosevelt is big-hearted, too. There is the pos
sibility that the fur breeders association desired nation-wide
publicity for its furs. This also matches up; Mrs. Roosevelt
has never Been averse to puoncity. AiayDe it was mspireu
solely by admiration and we may be sure that Mrs. Roosevelt
would be moved to admiration, too.
Unfortunately, all this is conjecture. We simply do not
know. One thing we may conclude, with a reasonable degree
of certainty the spirit was willing.
"YES, JOE."
As we understood it everything was settled at Dumbarton
Oaks except the voting procedure to be followed by the five
great nations in a case of a dispute involving one of them.
Everybody but Russia wanted, in such circumstances, to let
the issue be settled by a majority vote. Kussia insisted that
any single nation should have a single vote veto of any direct
action proposed to enforce peace. That was the way the busi
ness was left for settlement later and that was one of the
questions to be settled at Yalta.
Last week President Roosevelt told the country that this
voting question had been settled and, as we remember, the
settlement was on a formula that he had devised. Yesterday
the formula was announced. It was a compromise. Any single
nation is to have a single vote veto of any direct actioa pro
posed to enforce peace.-
We wonder if there is any more "Yes, Joe" stuff coming up.
We .read that American delegates to the Inter-American
conference at Mexico City promised Latin Americans that
even after the war the United States will make stock-piling
purchases of critical war materials not solely because of any
national security need but to prolong the war-time prosperity
of South America. And paying for the purchases, of course,
with funds raised by continuing our own war-time taxes.
Looking back through that Thursday talk of the presi
dent's to congress we find that th,ere was another question
left unanswered. Why did he take Boss Paving Blocks Ed
Flynn, of the Bronx, along?

SEA LION LORE
Laguna Beach, Calif.,
March 2, 1!M5.
To the Editor:
I heartily endorse the commu
nication ot Mr. II. II. Sheldon in
The Bulletin of Feb. 2G. '
My reason for this Is that for
the past three months I have been
fishing once or twice a week on
a ledge ot rorks oft the shores of
the cliffs not more than a quar
ter mile from the Sea Lion Rocks.
There is a herd of sea lions that
has been using these rocks as a
hang out. They are protected un
der California law. As a possible
solution of Mr. Sheldon's question
as to what is the real reason 1
suggest that the gangsters who
are trying to have this bill No.
356 passed, expect to profit by the
shortage of beef and place on the
market a few Juicy sirloin steaks
to ease the strain.
I write this because I consider
Oregon my home, and am inter
ested in the state, and fishing, and
sea lions in particular.

clattering and a banging against
the white marble walls, a little
man with a bald noggin hauled
parts of a 1942, two-door sedan
into the senate caucus room.

Thp senators and I had been
listening for days to the aluminum

bout tomorrow's brave new
world. We had seen an evening
gown of woven aluminum thread,
dishwasher of magnesium, a
wheelbarrow you could hold in
one hand, and a metallic wrapper
guaranteed to make a grapefruit
lost forever, or almost.
The last of the magnesium boys
was Henry J. Kaiser, who told In
booming voice (that sounded
like a cabinet radio with the bass
key turned on full force) about
aluminum warships and magnesi

were the fastest of their kind.
