Progress in grade crossing elimination and Roosevelt policy notes
A report highlights progressive removal of dangerous grade crossings in Ohio and Massachusetts spending of 2.65 million dollars with railroads paying about 1.58 million, the state 688 thousand, and cities 388 thousand. A New York correspondent cites a Paris sign “American spoken here” and ponders extending this idea to global language use. The President’s message is described as long but revealing, with clear stance on corporations, government control, marriage and divorce, capital and labor, lynching, and the merchant marine, and firm on enforcing treaties and avoiding conflict with Japan while opposing anti-Japanese agitation.
