The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1939-12-28

WASHINGTON.-In a recent poll
OF Washington correspondents by
NeWsweek it was disclosed that a
heavy majority of the news writer's
in the capital think that President
Roosevelt will be Tenominated, and
that Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan VIII be the Republican
nominee.
The poll was confidential as to
the views of any individual CORE
spondent. So that the writer for the
most partisan Republican organ
could express his view freely that
Roosevelt would be nominated and
elected, whereas the correspondent
for the Daily Worker could predict
the nomination of John Nance Gar
ner by the Democrats, and of James
w. WadsWorth by the Republicans If
that is what he wanted to say. There
would be no repereussions.
This makes the poll most inter-
esting topic for conversation, and
presumably a fair cross section of
the views of the men whose occupa-
zion it is to be expert observers.
Anyway they are being paid for it.
Furthermore, this writer takes no
exception to the list of correspond
ents selected by Newsweek for this
poll. He is rather effectively barred
from such criticism because he was
one of those polledl
Yet the odds of the only bets the
writer has heard about as to the
nomination of Roosevelt for third
term are three to one against!
Whereas, 1t is almost impossible to
conceive events between now and
next July which will make Senator
Vandenberg's stand against repeal
of the arms embargo in the extra
session helpful to his chances.
Actually the writer agrees with
the majority of correspondents
polled that the nomination of Roose-
welt by the next Democratic conven-
ton is likely, despite the third-term
issue. Yet there is no denying that
most recent indications, especially
the swing of the left wing New Deal
ers to Paul v. McNutt, are to the
contrary.

Convention Situation
Might Force Roosevelt

The question is whether the con-
vention situation will not be such
that Roosevelt will have to take the
nomination himself, or see it go to
some candidate who might not car
ry on the New Deal policies. The
smart money is apparently on the
side of his stepping down. But some
of that smart money" is known to
be Garner money, and this writer
is far from being alone in saying
that If It is to be Garner or a third
term, Roosevelt would 60 for the
third term.
AS to Vandenberg, there is no
doubt that personally he is better
known and liked by the Washington
correspondents polled than any 9TH
er candidate. Personally, the writ
er agrees again, but the cold logic
weuld indicate that at least three
men have better chance. These
are Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio,
and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
At the present moment-subject
to change without notice, downtown
New York is for Bricker, and, prob
ably unalterably, strongly against
Dewey. This is something to be
Teckoned with, for downtown New
York is very potent in two ways.
It's where the big campaign contri-
buttons come from, and socially it
ramifes through the country.
Big frogs from hinterland little
pools are impressed beyond all
rhyme and reason when little frogs
in the New York pool confde their
political opinions. And when the lady
frogs in New York emit words of
political wisdom, sound or unsound,
it has an even greater effect on the
lady frogs from the hinterland pools.
u. S. Cold-Buying Pomer
Seen as Var Preventive
Use OF this nations gold-buying
power might have stopped Soviet
aggression on Finland in its tracks
If suggestion recently made to
President Roosevelt by an interna-
tionally known financial authority
had worked out according to his
formula.
1t was based on the fact that the
Soviet produces very large por-
ton Of all the gold that the United
States treasury is buying from the
rest OF the world. Actually Russia
stands second in the list, with the
British empire first, but Russia has
been gaining and hopes to become
No. gold producer before long.
But the only purchaser for this
gold, running well into the hundreds
of millions of dollars, is Uncle Sam.
He pays $35 an ounce for it. No
body else, practically, is buying any.
The proposal Of this expert was
that President Roosevelt, with no
fanfare Of publicity SO that the So
Wet authorities would be embar-
raised, let the Stain government
know that IL the Soviet govern

Colossal Shifting Of
Business Equities Planned

SEC is guarding its strategy with
a secrecy SO intense that one won
ders if anybody except Jerome
Frank himself knows the details of
its plan, which, it is admitted, will
shortly be sprung and involves a
forced "integration" system which
will be the most colossal shifting of
business equities in history
I. N. K. C.'s plans are fairly OBJ
vious, aimed only at whipping John
@. Citizen into line behind what the
public power group wants from con-
gress.
But there is curious INDIGESTION
in the general staff of the anti-utility
forces as to what to ask congress to
do--hoW to cash IN quickly on all
this tremendous barrage and drive
the country further down the road
of complete socialism in the electric
industry. As matter of fact, there
are a few pinks among the reds
The pinks would leave all existing
steam operations in private hands,
only insisting that all hydroelectric
power should be public.
But the indecision is caused by
lack OF conviction that congress will
be as amenable as when it was
handing out IVA appropriations,
loan and grant authorizations for
Ickes to use in substituting municipal
electric plants. The biggest factor
worrying the public power group is
the coal industry, not only the mine
owners but the United Mine Work
ers- They don't want any more
water-power plants, and they are
getting more potent on Capitol Hill
and more aggressive all the time.

Greenbelt has already earned reputation as

From Babyhood most of US have grown up in compe-

everything wanted. It takes time to learn that
more can be obtained by fighting together than by
lighting each other.
We are sorry to be so slow in organizing

Credit Union and the Health Association the only
two coopeatives We have here far. The need for
edration has been most apparent to those Who have

The Right To GRIPPE

Freedom to criticize is cherished right in any
democracy.
Unfortunately the right to criticize easily be-
license to grippe. I've refer to that colo
quia1iN which to growl grumb1e wi thout
definite reason cause.) Criticism carries with
It at Least Implication Of the existence Of
better way Of doing things, and although It may be
both bitter and destructive criticism is always def
mite enough to be met and answered. And In that
answer lies the Improvement and progress which is the
really coget reason for constant defense Of the
right to criticize.
We also maintain the right to grippe, but it may be
worth while to point little purpose this type Of
complaining serves, and how self-defeating it can
become habit.
Criticism coming from someone with record Of
achievement carries definite wei gnt and influence.
Backed up by suggestions and concrete proposals
criticism is welcomed in any community Of fair
minded persons. Made in spirit Of tolerance and
he1pfu1ness It is doub1y-we1come. This, We must
keep In mind is complaint by specific person to a
specific person about definite thing. John
Jones thinks the club dues too hih, and says
at a th1y meeting. Sam Smith believes the pre-
Council his ideas Of what should be provided.
Bob Black thinks this editorial misses the point
entirely and tells the editor where it could have
been improved.
The "griper", however, is vague in his complaint
conf ides in his nei ghbors total strangers but
seldom to the person who could remedy the wrongs he
grpes about. Joe Gr7mb1e tells his nei ghbors
that the club is lousy. .Joe doesn't 60 to the
meetings. Sam Smart tells everybody at the office
in town that Greenbelt has terrible ball field.
Bob Blow inf orms any bus passengers Who will listen
to him that the COOPER AToR is silly sheet that he
never takes time to read.
Greenbelt cooperator. (Greenbelt, Md.) 1937-1954, 1939-10-05

Dissatisfaction with things as they are is always
healthy sign. We should never allow ourselves to
become SNUG and sattated with our own success. But
when we criticize let's do it with purpose and make
our complaints to who can correct whatever
is wrong. AS Ne said before, e defend the right to
gr1pe-out we don't think much Of anyone who takes
advantage of it.

it did not occur to them that one re-

Once upon a time Congress was sup

The minority representation in the
two houses performed the function OF
opposition, and was content to point
out what was wrong in the major
