that public sentiment In this
country, which for several years
bs been swinging strongly to
ward President Itooaevelt and the
New Deal, ba beguu to SWING
AWAY.
That, If truo. la Important.
The pendulum of political son
tlmont la never still. It Is always
swinging one way or the othor,
like the pendulum of a clock that
la wound up and going, lla ten
dency Is to swing lung way In
one direction and then turn nd
awing In the OTHER DIREC
TION. It has been swinging toward
the President and his New Deal.
Last wook's electloni suggest thst
It Is either nvnr the end of that
swing or hus ncluully turned nud
Is swinging tho other way.
e e
DOES that mean that President
Roosevelt won't be re-elected?
Not necosanrlly evon If It la
true, which It may not bo, Unit
sontlmout haa begun to swing
away from the President und his
New Dial experiments. The flrat
rulo lu tho political book, you
know, Is that you can't beat some
body with nobody.
Tho Prceldont Is SOMEBODY,
qulto distinctly, and It the Ho

to oppose lilm that la to say, no
body with a constructive program

THE public, as this writer booh
It, no longer cares a hoot
whothor a Republican dr a Demo

whether the Republican or the

ITALY CHALLENGES
GENEVA'S STRENGTH
Economic Reprisals Plan
ned to Answer Pressure
Against Rome.
Bjr Associated Press
Fascist Italy threatened ta
plicity today to leave the League
of Nations.
In a warning to the nations
participating in the league's sanc
tions punishment ot Italy for Its
aggression against Ethiopia, Mus
solini s government said:
"Italy has not wished utll
now to disassociate herself from
the Geneva Institution, despite
Italy's opposition to the proced
ure followed to her danger, be
cause she desires to prevent a .
conflict, suck aa that now being
considered, from leading to more '
vast complications." " - -
Economic Reprisals planned
The warning to the sanctlonlst
nations which challenged the
league's authority to place sanc
tions In the hands of a co-ordinating
committee, and which re-,
lected the accusation Italy flo
lated its league covenants in in
vading Halle Selassie's empire
was contained in a note sent di
rect to the nations and not to
the league.
In addition to the threat 'of
withdrawal from Geneva, It
threatened further economic re
prisals. At the same time, in an oin-
cial decree, II Duce proclaimed
Italy's economic independence
from the sanctionist nations.
Embargo Effective Monday
The fascist government placed
an embargo on the importation
of 197 products, except under
strict supervision. The embargo
goea into effect next Monday,
the day the league's campaign of
sanctions -becomes operative.
From all Indications, 11 Duce'S
warning was of no avail to him
In delaying sanctions. '
Premier Pierre Laval, It Is un
derstood In reliable Paris quar
ters, has informed Mussolini
France will carry out the cam
paign as laid down by the league's
general sanctions staff of 51
nations.
Joint Reply Expected
In London, it was considered
Inconceivable the Italian protest
would have any effect, despite II
Duce's warning of the "gravity of
the consequences."
Any action designed to delay
the sanctions, It was said author
itatively in London, would be un
acceptable to the British govern
ment. It was thought likely
France and Britain would pre
pare a joint reply to the fascist
government.
