This is no reflection upon the bust
ness men brought here by the Pres
ident and charged with this vital work.
They are doing as well as can be done
under the circumstances. Nor is it be-
cause great results were expected
in too short time. Rather, apprehen-
sion is due to the fact that there has
not emerged an organization which
promises real results in any reasonable
time or offers any guarantee against
great waste and inefficiency. Nor is
there any immediate prospect of such
an organization. The root of the trou-
BILE is the lack of disinterested and in
telligent leadership. AS the facts are
considered the conviction grows that
the chief cause of confusion is that
the President himseslf is confused. His
friends say he is just tired Certainly,
his are not the qualities required for
effective direction of SO vast practi-
cal program. Yet he will neither del
egate the direction nor install COM
petent manager.
***
He brings down men of proven abil-
ity and experience. 1t is reported that
they have been given "free hand"
and are Every happy" over the stu
alton. But every posted man knows
that the "free-hand" stuff is a bluff.
They have 'free hand'on everything
except the vital things-to-wit, poll
cies. When what they want to do con-
flicts with New Deal policy, or labor
law, or an Administrator board, they
cannot take a short cut. They cannot
modify law or relax a regulation.
The President is on record against
such short cuts, notifications OF re-
laXations. Yet, obviously they are
needed if results are to be had.
###
He appealed for nonpartisan sup
port and certainly he got it from Re-
publicans in Congress, who voted SOL
idly for the appropriations asked. Yet,
despite his appointments of Messrs.
Stimson and Knox, he keeps the de-

Nomination of Wendell L. Willkie as
the Republican candidate for the Pres
idency has been variously hailed as a
miracle" as the political phenome
non" of the twentieth century and as
one of those inexplicable political de-
velopments which takes place only
once in a generation.
The reason for such calculations of
wonderment spring, of course, from
the suddenness with which Mr.. Willkie
emerged as a major figure on the ma
tional political scene. Without previous
political experience, only few years
distant from the Democratic Party
and without organized support, Mr.
Willkie became the Presidential nomi-
nee of a major party within 48 days
after he formally launched his cam
paign.
1t is no wonder the country is
amazed and political observers be-
wildered. Nothing like it ever before
has happened in this country. Some
draw parallel between the rise Of the
Willkie star and that of William Jen-
nings Bryan in 1896.
But really the two events have little
in common between them. Bryan had
been in Congress before his nominal
ton and many State conventions had
instructed for him. The story about
Bryan stampeding the 1896 Demo
cratic National Convention with the
Gross of Gold" speech contains more
legend than fact.

Justified Perturbation

Surveying the Washington scene
after the nearly two months in which
Administrations preparedness pro-
gram has been under way, detached
and informed observers frankly are
perturbed over Administration inabil-
ity to bring order out of confusion.
There are sound reasons for such a
feeling.

WILLKIE NOMINATION
UNPRECEDENTED


The truth is that there is no prece-
dent for the Willkie nomination, Just
as there never has been a session of
a national convention like the one at
which the Republican standard bearer
was nominated.
But there is no secret or mystery
regarding the forces which brought
about the Willkie nomination. Will
kie several weeks previously at the
National Press Club in Washington
gave the key to the "secret" He said
that success was meeting his efforts
because he was Gin front of trend"
What he meant was that he stood for
the things which the American people
had come to believe and to want in the
last few years.
1t has been obvious to most politi-
cal observers that the American people
had become wearied of emergencies,
continued unemployment and depres-
sion, experimentation wasteful spend
ing and incompetence in their Federal
Government.
Mr.. Willkie voiced their feelings and
in doing so he displayed a pleasant,
magnetic personality. This is the rea-
son that once the Republican rank.
and-file saw and heard him, they for
got about the other Republican aspir-
ants. 1t also is the reason why he will
be elected in November, no matter who
runs against him.
WILLKIE-M'NARY
STRONGEST TICKET
In selecting Wendell Lewis Willkia
for the Presidency and Senator Charles
L. McNary for the Vice-P Presidency,
the Republican National Convention
selected the strongest possible ticket
"a fact attested by the Widespread
commentator of the ticket in the
press of the country, both Democratic
and Republican.
The New Dealers without doubt will
undertake to smear this ticket. Every
effort will be made to paint Mr.. Willkie
as creature Of Wall Street-as a
public utility magnate and to attrib-
ute to him all the sins ever committed
in that quarter. Indeed, the New Deal
ers IN their fright are even STOPPING
to efforts to make it appear that Mr..
Willkie in some way is sympathetic
with Naziism.
But these efforts will fail-because
such charges are uhtrue. For seven
