Every paper just keeps saying how Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. MacDonald are "in ac cord" and how Mr. Herriot and Mr. Roosevelt are "in ac cord." Now that all sounds mighty chummy and docile, but knowing Europe like we ought to know 'em, there is just a little too much .."in accord." There is one awful good time to watch those ba bies from over there and that is when they are "in accord." But I imagine we can trust Mr. Roosevelt. While this is his first poker game with Europe, he has played with Tammany, so he is not exactly what you would call an amateur. He has seen guys pull 'em out of their sleeve before, but he hag got to watch that "in accord" stuff. Yours, f atom luxiMum.
