26. 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
