More public interest will be manifested in -the little parades of uniformed veterans because of the ominous clouds drifting from events abroad. Many national lawmakers are taking the stump during the holiday with deep appreciation that their words will be weighed as indicative of sentiment in the Nation's Capital. With the political season nearing its • • R E A P I N G T H E W H I R L W I N D i a £ expect office-seekers to complete ly divorce preparedness from its political anchorage. Reports from overseas show that only actual enemy invasion stirred the French and British loose from political ties which hamstrung the war effort resulting in virtual dictatorship. Whether this country will be handicapped by these permissible functions of an operating democracy remains to be seen. It is, however, generally agreed that the Presidential campaign and the fall elections have a retarding effect on policy-making despite the best patriotic motives of the hour. The prevailing comment here and reflected in other localities is to the effect that a large slice of the political barricades to preparedness measures could be side-tracked by a simple declaration by Mr. Roosevelt on the third term. Supporters of the President's reticence on the subject insist that such an announcement at this time would strip hira of the prestige necessary to shape defense policies during crucial days. The international situation finds the Republican crusaders behind the eight-bail by the nature of things as matters of national defense are paramount. They cannot afford to appear as obstructionists in a crisis nor can they afford to surrender their prerogatives as an aggressive minority party which might lead to a one-party coalition Their prominent candidates, who are seeking the Presidency, are handicapped by circumstances or political fates which kept them out of Federal offices dealing with foreign affairs. Yet it is believed in many quarters that Mr. Roosevelt's retirement from office would have a pronounced leveling influence on all candidates, which they confidentially assume the elimination of the Democrats foremost personality would effectuate. The ranking dopesters in both major' party camps do not anticipate any fiftal commitment from F. D. R. until the early ballots at the Democratic national <Mf|j§tioi\ make clear to the world thajp^S^nomination is in the bag withoafefl^ askthg. The theory is .that by dletating the choice of Democratic standard-bearers and refusing the laurel wreath, the President retains the tactical advantages during the remainder of his term and even beyond, which would not attach to a quiet withdrawal prior to the Chicago meeting in mid-July. ^ Non-partisan observers of the current scene iqpist that one outstanding Weakness of the preparedess movement is turning the war planning over to Cabinet officers rather than to invite direct co-operation „ from industrial specialists, who have been trained for such work in peace time and many with experience in the World War. The allegation is made, with some plausibility, that the inner circle of the New Deal, who have been Mr. Roosevelt's closest advisors on economic and social policy, are demanding the war preparedness assignments and blocskading recruiting of business leaders in the emergency. Experienced industrial executives are skeptical about accepting bids for high posts if the same economic plan ners who have attempted business regimentation by government for seven years are their overlords. It is all topsy-turvy as the A; my and Navy frantically seek outside help only to be stalemated by political factors. Labor experts have reported directly to the White Housee on the plight of English and French war factories caught in the cross-fire of social legislation. Army data shows that mass production machinery imported from America to speed munitions production has beeh warehoused rather than utilized by reason of British trades unions' opposition to ' labor-saving equipment. The new dictatorship over there is aimed at prevention of strikes and delays In production' of defense material. In this country the few aircraft plants are -overwhelmed with the task of turning out planes in suffi cient quantities. It is expected that these 'manufacturers will farm out parts and sub-Assemblies to smaller machine shop* and change the parent factories to assembly unit! to increase production. Legislators seeking plants in their districts are harassing military men who must be; polite to obtain appropriations. The Farm Security Administration is endeavoring to enlist more active state co-operation in halting unnecessary rural migration. Administrator Wt W. Alexander told a Senate committee a few days ago that the problem of needy farm families was acute. The Federal government has adopted various measures to keep them down on the farm, but not all methods have • been effective. In many instances the states have turned the whole matter over to the Federal authorities for setf tlement, while the central government believes state and local co-operation ir essential to serve every region. Thd' F. S. A. insists that a rehabilitation program should be expanded to reach at least the 500,000 needy families which already have sought such aid. The Federal agency is attempting to stimulate tenant purchases of farms, but they insist that the states have fallen down on the question of meeting the farm tenancy. One of th* stumbling blocks is* the lack of understanding on the part of the lower in* corns classes as to improved agricultural practices which wiTI make farms life attractive. The F. S. A. is now working out a plan for the develooment of constructive rural work for those who cannot be absorbed in purely agricultural pursuits, which offers a wide field of possibilities. accident, on Saturday evening last.
