DECORATION DAY is day set aside to pay
u homage to those defenders of our nation who
have passed to peaceful rest, some as result OF
natural causes, others through wounds received
on the field of battle.
It is also day on which we can pay a tribute
to those in the industrial army who have answered
the roll call and gone to their celestial home This
vast army of workers, who through their integrity
to the cause of labor made it possible for to en-
Joy some of the privileges that in their day were
only for a selected group should never be for
gotten.
Sometime during Decoration Day, if you can do
so make trip to the grave of one of our deceased
members and lay thereon small flower or flag
as token of remembrance. If you cannot do this,
then pause brief moment and offer up a silent
prayer of thankfulness for the part he played in
labors march, You will feel better after doing so.

ment prior to the conclusion of the
Republican National Convention.
Indeed, what the Republicans 90 In
the way Of a candidate and a plat
form might conceivably have some
effect on his decision in this third
term matter. His announcement
last Thursday of his appointment
OF Col. Knox and Col. Henry l..
Stimson to his cabinet, just before
the opening of the Republican Ma
tional Convention, took the country
tremendously by surprise. Indeed,
the idea Of a coalition cabinet-as
1t Is popularity called-had dropped
out OF the public eye and mind COM
pletely, after Republican leaders in
Congress and former Gov. ALT M.
Landon, titular head of the party,
had stepped on it firmly.
Gov. Stassen, in his keynote
speech, described the third term
drive OF the New Dealers as "the
saddest chapter of the last four
years. of the Roosevelt admins
tration. He charged that the ad-
ministration, instead of keeping its
eyes, statesmanlike, upon the well
1are OF the people of this Nation,
has turned its political gaze upon
a third term"
Democracy in Party Destroyed"
This un-American desire for a
third term" he continued, COM
pletely undermines their forth
rightness in meeting all of our
issues. 1t has destroyed states
manship. Cleverly and surreptitious-
ly they have strengthened the IRON
handed control of the President over
the Democratic party. Building
upon the corrupt political machines
OF Kelly and Nash and Hague and
their kind, they have erected as a
superstructure political machine
such as this country has never be-
fore seen. Democracy within the
Democratic party has been de-
stroyed. With this background, they
move on toward their convention.
tossing aside the traditions of WASH
ington and of Jefferson"
1t is noticeable that Gov. Stassen
In his diatribe against the third
termers, uses the pronoun "they"
and not "he." This was doubtless
with design. For he is safe in say
ing that the administrationists have
done all they could to bring about
a denomination of the President.
And If the President takes it, they"
becomes all inclusive. Had Gov.
Stassen declared directly that the
President was seeking a third term,
and Mr.. Roosevelt later announced
he would not be candidate. the
carpet would be pulled right out
from under the feet of the Repub-
lican keynoter. Perhaps Gov. Stas-
sen, like Col. Knox, has some doubts
as to the Presidents running again.
The reasons given by the Presi-
dent for making no statement TAX
ing himself out of the race are
that to have done so would have
lessened his influence abroad and
at home. His influence, however.
did not apparently have any effect
on the totalitarian governments Of
Germany and Italy, whatever it
may have had on those of Great
Britain and France. England alone
remains to carry on the fight against
Germany and Italy.

Over Policing
OF Indo China
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The main characteristic of the
Japanese people is their great cour-
tesy-superficially, at least.
A group Of Japanese battleships
has been sent to Indo-China to
check up on the leaks Of the Japa-
nese blockade Of China" through
that French possession. Military
and civil officers will be installed
in the main cities of Indo-China
and within the next few weeks a
Japanese army will take over from
the French the job Of policing the
country so that the blockade will
be enforced thoroughly.

to Hong Kong. The British gar
rison in that important naval base
apparently is determined to do its
own policing" regarding war con-
traband and If the Japanese Army
and Navy wish to watch over the
manner with which the contraband
is enforced stiff military resistance
will result.
This, for the time being, is the
decision of the British Governor
of Hong Kong.
Whether this determination to re-
sist will last depends naturally on
what the home government decides
to do and on how badly Germany
Furnishes Britain in the next few
weeks.
Toxic has indicated it will wait
for a while before tackling Hong
Kong. 1t appears that the German
Ambassador to Japan has urged the
government to have a little patience.
In the meantime, the japanese
Navy, which has spent most of the
time in the home waters, is getting
ready to move out of its bases,
Which direction it will take is un-
certain. According to some reports,
important divisions of the navy have
already left their home ports. with
destination unknown. But in the
event the Japanese leaders, working
in close cooperation with the Eu-
ropean dictators. have decided to
send some of their fastest ships and
airplane carriers to pay a goodwill
visit to some of the South Ameri-
can republics on the Pacific Coast
and possibly to nose around the
Panama Canal. They will meet an
American fleet. The United States
fleet, which left Honolulu yesterday,
is likewise on a goodwill and flag
showing tour and may visit the
Panama Canal.

belief that he will run again to
succeed himself, the Republican
structures of Gov. Stassen were to
be expected. After all, the third
term will be a major issue in this
coming presidential campaign II
Mr.. Roosevelt runs.
Col. Frank Knox, recently ap-
pointed Secretary Of the Navy by
President Roosevelt, told at least
four men, it is reliably reported,
that the President, when discussing
with him the matter of a cabinet
job, assured him he did not intend
to run. There has been no denial
from Col. Knox that he made such
statement-nor any denial from
the President that he made the re-
ported statement to Col. Knox.
Furthermore, it is now learned
that Col. Knox persists in his belief
that the President will not run.
After his appointment to be Secre-
tary OF the Navy last week, it is
reported he reasserted he was con-
fldent, in fact that he knew, the
President would not run. The re-
iteration of this belief that the
President will not seek a third term
Is considered highly significant.
Would Change Entire Picture.
If the President is not going to
run, the political situation will be
vastly changed. almost overnight.
Not only for the Republicans, but
also for the Democrats. OF course.
Col. Knox may be mistaken. He
may find that the President feels
in view of all the circumstances
and Wnditions existing in the world
he must become a candidate again.
But If the belief of Col. Knox sb ould
be proven correct, not only does the
third-term issue go overheard but
the Democrats must find a new
candidate.
Presumably this would be Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull-even
though this might not please the
100 per cent New Dealers. Mr.. Hull,
however, is firmly on the side of the
President in his foreign policies.
And apparently, to Mr.. Roosevelt,
the foreign affairs of this Nation
have become paramount consider
ations of the day. Indeed, there is
reasen to believe that Col. Knox was
given a very definite impression that
Mr.. Hull would be the man tapped
on the shoulder for the presidential
nomination.
President Roosevelt has waited a
long time to make known his de-
termination and desires regarding a
third term. 1t seems incredible.
however, that he would wait until
the Democratic National Conven-
ton has actually convened, and
draft Roosevelt move has been made
with the delegates joining in. His
withdrawal would leave a chaotic
situation and might easily reflect
on the candidate finally nominated
by the convention.

vention.
