The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-01

 Complaint is that it is very easy to inject the New Deal into the primaries, but who is going to organize the machinery to make the New Deal successful in those primaries?
 Roosevelt is not going to do it. After a few more speeches he is going fishing. And Jim Farley is not going to do it. He is leav- ing next week for Alaska.
 Meanwhile, all experience shows that organization is a lot more important in primary elections than speech-making. It was Senator Gillette's organization in Iowa which really defeated Otha Wearin. Gillette had the sup port of the local Democratic ma chine and Wearin made a feeble, last-minute attempt to take it away.
 Machine Rule
 In Georgia, where Roosevelt is stalking everything on an attempt to defeat Senator George with U. s. Attorney Lawrence Camp, the latter has no machine WhatSo- ever. The water power and Coca Cola interests plus other powers behind the machine are throwing their weight to Senator George.
 In Maryland, where Roosevelt Is out to beat his bitter oppon- ent, Senator Willard Tydings, by backing Congressman David Lewis, his man is going into the race cold with not even the semblance of a machine. Meanwhile Tyd- ings is aligned with the machine of Mayor Jackson of Baltimore, the most powerful in the state.
 In Kentucky, the state machine is controlled by Governor Happy Chandler. But here Senator Bark ley, friend of the President, is better off, because he has the support of the powerful city ma chine in Louisville.
 To build up state and local organizations requires time and money. It cannot be done over night. And without Jim Far ley translating ROOseveIt's fire side chat into direct action, a lot of New Deal candidates will go into the primaries with a terrific handicap.
 .. If they win, it will mean two things: CD That Roosevelts strength is greater than anyone dreamed; (2) that the country is throwing overheard machine. poli- tics.
 It will be interesting to prove this one way or the other, Roose- velts friends say, but they are not interested in laboratory ex- periemnts. What interests them is the fact that Roosevelt put himself way out on a limb in his fireside chat, and unless he builds up local organizations he may be shaken off.
 Ali LandOn
 Ali Landon and a group of newspaper friends were swapping stories about the funniest lines they had seen in newspapers.
 ''Well, boys said ex-GOvernor of Kansas, "I think have the prize. There never was anything funnier than the line I pulled in the 1886 campaign: When l am President
 Jewish Refugees
 Those sensational dope stories giving the real loWdoWn for Am bassador Joe Kennedy's hurried visit to the U. s. A., were just about as accurate as the idea that Ali Landon vii ruin for President again in 1940.
 Kennedy dashed over from London to the President about neither dollar devaluation nor a new war debt settlement. Person. ally he sees nothing to be gained by the first, and while the Bri- tish would like to make new deal. on the second, they are too preoccupied with re-arming and the TNT-l loaded European situa- ton to give it much thought.
 Real purpose of Kennedy's trip was to confer with Roose- welt about the tragic German and Austrian refugee problem. On July 6, at Evian, France, the International Committee on Refugees will meet. The con- ference grew out of the State Departments note to 29 govern ments proposing an interna- tiOnal agency to facilitate the emigration of Austrian and German political refugees.
 The only country rejecting the invitation was Italy. The other 28 will be at the Evian meeting, the United States being represented by Myron c. Taylor, former U. s. Steel head, assisted by Robert Pell and George Brandt, State Department experts.
