Dear Mr. President: A little while ago an artist here painted a picture in which he endeavored to catch the spirit of the Service which a motion picture really renders.

With best wishes always, I am Sincerely yours, Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, The White House, Washington, D. C. Idaho. WHAT THE MOTION PICTURE MEANS One stands on a high mountain and sees long lines of men, women, and children moving slowly forward. They come from everywhere. They are rosy-cheeked girls from the farms, and their paler-faced sisters from the cities whose feet ache from long hours of standing behind bargain counters. There are plow boys, and sons of millionaires, and boys with the sallow cheeks of the tenements. There are old women with hands reddened and coarsened by work, and with eyes grown listless with long waiting. There are old men who hobble on crooked sticks, and children with the flash of the sun's gold in their hair and the happy laughter of innocence in their voices. There are the schoolboy, and the savant, and the man of no learning at all. There are men and women of every race and of every tongue, mov- ing slowly forward, seeking something, seeking, searching, yearning--asking for a place to dream. All about them is the roar of the cities, the confused, jangling noises of life that is hurried rushed, propelled forward at a breathless speed. Every minute of every hour of every day they come-- millions of them. And over and above them, and in front of them, attracting them on, offering that which they desire, are billions of flickering shadows--the motion picture. Who shall estimate its importance? Who shall attempt to say what it means to the world? March 15, 1935. Idaho. sent miss 3.3.25 35 9-H March 22, 1935.

Dear Colonel Howe: I have had several chart weights made from the bronze as used on the hull of our successful Defender of the America's Cup, "RAINBOW", and am presenting these to a few people whom I know are interested in yachting and especially in the race against the British Contender, "ENDEAVOUR", last Summer. It was natural, in selecting the few recipients, that the name of President Roosevelt should head the list. I realized that the President is constantly receiving mementos and tokens of all sorts and descriptions, and I therefore hesitated in annoying him by my small remembrance. However, in considering the matter further, I decided inasmuch as the President is a dyed-in-the-wool sailor, bona fide-ly fond of the sea, and an eye witness at the race off Newport last season, that I, through your good offices, would take the liberty of forwarding the chart weight. I am therefore sending out today, under separate cover via Special Delivery, Registered Mail, two chart weights, one which has been inscribed with your name and another with that of President Roosevelt. I would appreciate if you would bring this to his attention some day when he has a rest from the affairs of the Nation and has time to give a thought to his own pleasure.

Just what will happen to you as an individual when or if this occurs in your America? You do not want to see the value of your savings, of your life insurance wiped out. You do not want to see the confiscation of your property through excessive taxation. You do not want to see the country overrun by the frenzied followers of politically ambitious demagogues. You may have felt helpless in the face of such eventualities before-but you will not feel this way after reading "Money Creators." Return to Legal Money Will End the Depression "Money Creators" was written by a woman-prominent for many years in Chicago banking circles. This keen woman analyst has had the courage to tell the full truth about banking and money, and she has told it so clearly, so utterly simple and plain that there is no longer any excuse for anyone to say he does not understand money. Gertrude M. Coogan has had many years of experience in all forms of banking and investments. She spent 8 years collecting and arranging material which was secured from all over the world for this book. The reading of the story as she has presented it is more interesting than the most fascinating fiction. She has had the courage to tell the full truth-the astounding facts that are never found in school text books. What she says about a "return to consti- MISS GERTRUDE M.

MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARY EARLY: After reviewing this case very thoroughly, it is my opinion that paragraph 5 of the Acting Secretary of War's letter sums the situation up accurately: "The record of the soldier has been excellent both before and after the commission of the crime of which he was convicted, and the Philippine authorities have interposed no ob- jection to the granting of his request for a pardon to restore him to citizenship." There is nothing more to be said for or against the soldier that I can find and, in view of the fact that it is totally a Philippine question, I recommend that he be given the pardon.

Sir: As a little token of our esteem and affection, would like to have you accept a very choice piece of 11 Spring overcoating material made from the choicest fleeces of Mr. Garner's State of Texas and woven by some of our sturdy New England weavers. In our opinion there is no finer piece of cloth made in the world and is the product of the finest type of American citizen, the Texas wool grower, who, by the utmost diligence in breeding and tending his flocks has produced a wool second to none with its fine quality and softness of handle. It was woven in a small New England town, whose inhabitants are so typically American, with a skill and care and pride of workmanship that the true artist feels for his work. Both the humble wool grower and the skilful weaver are SO typical of the many small towns covering our country and so typical of America that we felt you would appreciate this little symbol of true Americanism. May we again express to you our sincere appreciation of your efforts and results in bringing the country out of the slough of despond.

The figure of Our Blessed Lord is made from the fusing of Confederate musket balls and Federal bullets fired in the Battle of Arkansas Post in January, 1863; the wood of the cross from an ancient tree that was born and grew old under the four flags of Spain, France, the Confederacy and the Union. These bullets and musket balls, once the emblem of hate, are now united in the figure of the Prince of Peace. May this Holy symbol be an evidence of our love and appreciation of the bonds you have forged uniting all our Nation in a true union of perfect Christian charity. We address you from the Holy Rosary Church, Stuttgart, Arkansas, December 22, 1934, through the kind courtesy of our trusted friend, Congressman John L. McClellan.
