SINCLAIR. THE POLITICIAN.

Upton Sinclair ae writer, of the first prominent Social5s.s aad father Of the plan to end poverty in Calila1aa EPIC-is generally credited with being theom His ideas of social welfare have been Utopian his theories while interesting have never proved particularly practical But it appears that Sinclair though still the theorst, is getting to be something of a practical politician
 From his EPIC headquarters in California he declares that if President Roosevelt does not come out by fall for the EPIC plan of production for instead of profit the Sinclair forces will enter Presidential candidate against him. He does not say who the EPIC candidate will be but it happens that a chap by the of Upton Sinclair is the father, brains and force back of the movement from which the popular mind may judge who the aspirant is likely to be. That would at first glance to be sly way of pointing to himself as Presidential timber But Mir. Sinclair goes further indicating that if he is thecyst he is a good judge Of the political trend and comparatively consistent He very frankly states that EPIC opposition, how ever could net prevent the nomination of Roosevelt in 1886 and the upshot would be the EPIC forces getting behind the President to defeat the Fascist Republican Party Rather a neat way oi demand ing little recognition for his program.
 Sinclair first revealed his possibilities as a man of political two years ago when, though known as a Socialist at heart he ran oa the Democratic ticket for Governor of California and captured the nomination Prior to that trae he had been something Qf. 6 fire9rand His utter ances had gotten him into jail various occasions as he shouted for what he pleased to call social justice. But since that remarkable victory in the California primary Sinclair has abandoned his early ways and become more of practical politician. At the same time he apparently is keen student of the public mind for he very frankly admits MT. Roosevelt cannot be defeated for the nomination, +1,,4, election if the EPIC forces can help it.
 In other words Sinclair is first for Sinclair and second for Roosevelt. There may be little soace in that little sugar-coated pill for the Demo- cTats but there is nothing in it but wormwood for Republicans, and it does show that the maverick movements after all only that, and already third party schemes are beginning to blow up and their proponents are hedging in toward the pre- vailing side

SHARING THE BURDEN.

It may sound little harsh that some 100000 shut eff rather abruptly in Chicago and Cook County, Illinois, for a few days and left to their own resources, rather to the resources of Cook County, but the facts that no went hungry at all and that local authorities did get busy and do something their own account which is exactly what Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins has been insisting they do.
 As Federal officials have pointed out continually cannot share part of the relief burden. Just because relief administrators have been a little lenent it has become the tendency to let the Federal Government oc t. Chicago is a large and prosperous city. cook Cl Inty in which 1t is located well to do connty It has enormous resources and it is only fair to expect that such communities do something to handle their own relief program. Director Hopkins in cutting off Federal aid until such time as Chicago Cook County and the State of Illinois stood it's rightfu share Of the relief load tcok the cny action left him Repeated warnings that the Federal Government could not do all fell on apparently deaf ears. Now those State and city officials have taste of what Director Hopkins has been up against for two years, and doing such . satisfactory job. Already the Illinois State Leg isatme is preparing to meet to devise ways and means of raising some money to help handle the States own problem.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Republican Senator
Nye Aids Roosevelt
on Neutrality.
BY PAUL MALLON.

- OMETIMES the meeting Of
great minds, which are far
apart, is almost miraculous.
. The latest example is the
proposal which the more or
less Republican Senator Nye Is now
sponsoring in the Senate to revise our
historic sea policy. He wants to have
Congress authorize the President to
withdraw protection from American
citizens who endanger the neutrality
OF this country by venturing into war
zones.
The truth is President Roosevelt
had that same idea privately a few
ago 1t went so far that the
State Department drew up report
that he suggest such
legislation to the Congress immedi-
ately. Haste was necessary in view
of the precarious European situation
and the fact that our outworn sea
policy got us into the last war.
But Just at that time the Senate
UdS incenSed oUer Mr. Ro0seuelt'S
recommendation for American dd-
herence to the World Court. When
the Senate rejected the Court pro-
poSdl, the White House n,anipu-
ldtorS put their heads together
and agreed it ,Dds no time for Mr..
Roosevelt to bring up the neutrality
issue. 1t waS filed array in the Ar
chiUeS temporarily.
Now that Nye has suggested 1t,
State Secretary Hull has rushed into
print with a promise that he will be
only too glad to cooperate with the
Nye Committee in drafting such legis-
lation.
Grateful for G. o. p. Proposal.
1t may be that nothing more i'm
portant than telepathic miracle is
involved in this strange bridging of
political gaps. Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt
did not get Republican to champion
the cause and fool the Senate. That
is not important.
There can be no question that this
is one Republican proposal which will
be gratefully received at the White
House.
