The relative Importance of
politics and government is some
thing not always easy to see when
you are in the frontline trenches
of political organization.

which I have been more or less
In public life-in my home
county, in Albany, in Washing
ton, in Europe during the World
War, IN New York City, in
national conventions. back in
Albany and finally again in
Washington-I have come to the
conclusion that the closer people
are to what may be called the
Frontlines of government, of ali
kinds-local and State and Fed
eral-the easier it is to see the
immediate underbrush. the in
dividual tree trunks of the mo-
ment and to forget the nobility,
the usefulness and the wide ex-
tent of the forest itself.
It is because party people in
county courthouses or city halls
or State capitals or the District
of Columbia are, most of them,
so close to the picture of party
or factional warfare, that they
are apt to acquire a false per-
spective of what the motives"
and purposes of both parties and
their leaders should be for the
common good today.

States recognize two facts today:
The first is that the world out
side our hemisphere is in really
bad shape. This is matter not
for pessimism or optimism; it
is a matter for realism. It is
a fact-a fact so big that few
people have grasped its meaning
"a fact so big in its effect on the
future of the world that all our
little partisan squabbles are
shameful in the light of it.
The second is that we have
made great gains at home in our
own economic prosperity and in
the security of our individual cit
izens. These gains must not be
Clipped away; they must be only
a foundation on which to build
further gains.
Behind us lies accomplished a
really big job. It was the creation
out of the funk of the early 30s
of a new spirit with which we can
now face the 40s.
A realistic historian of our
party has wisely concluded, I'VE
have the intelligence to define our
troubles and the physical means
with which to meet them. In the
end, whether we make America q
good or a bad country will depend
on what we make, individually, of
ourselves. A selfish and greedy
people cannot be free"
The enormous task which the
Democratic party has already
performed in this generation has
been to provide the energy and
the confidence to steer Govern
ment in the interest and under
the direction of those of our peo-
pie who do not want to be selfish
and who do not want to be greedy.

ment of the coastwise steam

tenn in both politics and business
and this administration is going to
destroy 1t.
Under the guise Of defending

stop it-and stop it in this election
we might as well kiss the America
we have known good-by.
when a man gets so far on base
as to regard himself as indispen-
sable, he also rises above the re-
straints Of ordinary people, he lifts
himself also above the restrictions
Of the Constitution and the laws
upon his office
He no longer respects opinions of
opponents, nor any obligations of
candor and frankness to our people
Least of all does he respect extra
legal American principles and tradi-
tions-such as that of the third term
or Thanksgiving Day, or the free
dom of elections and political ON
ventions, or against the use of relief
funds for political pressure through
fear and hunger"

forted" to know that John L. Lewis

When Mr.. Willkie spoke at the
Worlds Fair he referred to these
buildings as our greatness" and said
that "any leadership that does not
offer to America the realization of
the things envisioned here is false

Mr.. Willkie said that Europe now
was at war because this country
failed to spread modern industrial
developments throughout the world
and failed to promote trade.

to go again into the Midwest next

see as many people as can between
now and November s."
His voice was deeply husky, and
occasionally broke.
Mr.. Willkie reiterated that he had
