the people of the United States.
According to the voluminous re-
ports which are reaching Washing
ton now, the causes of the French
unbelievable catastrophe are divided
in two partsAmoral and material.
There was too much politics in
France to begin with. Men at the
head of the administration were
more interested in their political
career than in the fate of France;
they subordinated the latter to their
personal selfish interest. Politics
were rampant in the army and TO
a certain extent in the navy. The
mechanical units-few as they we're
had been recruited from a class
where Communism was deeply in
bedded.
Faithful to Moscow.
The 9th army Of Gen. Carap,
which yielded the almost impres-
nable fortress of Sedan to tie
Germans and enabled the enemy
to turn the French lines of defense,
was composed of soldiers from
around Paris. These were of the
Il don't want to be cannon fodder"
type. Communism had been preach
ed to them for many years and
they were more faithful to the
doctrines from Moscow than to
their own country. Before the gen.
eral mobilization was ordered the
general staff had intended to de-
tach units OF that army to other
sectors and put peasant regiments
in their place. This was not possible.
however. because of the haste of
the mobilization. Placing that army
around Paris and using it for the
defense of the capital was then con-
sidered But the chaotic condition
of the French general staff did not
allow this change either.
While the government was fully
aware of the weakness of the army
and knew that the British could
not possibly send the number of
divisions promised at the general
staff conferences before the out
break Of the war. it continued TO
deceive the people of the country
with optimistic reports and in
spired newspaper articles.
Because the various French gov
ernments were counting the labor
vote. the cabinet officers and the
parliament did not dare do away
with the 40-hour-a-week law.
Generals Vocally Optimistic.
High-ranking generals, in order
to keep their important position,
were filling the ears of the re-
sponsible cabinet officers with OPP
timistic reports because they knew
such reports were pleasing to the
highest in the land and to the pop
ulation.
Strange as it may seem. the army
was badly trained. 1t lacked espe-
cially nom commissioned officers. Al
though veteran army officers knew
that the training of the non-coms
must take long time, they rushed
young men through special schools
and sent them to responsible posi-
tons at the front in six months.

who claimed to be for Roosevelt
were allowed to speak into that
mike. A Virginia delegate, opposed
to third term. edged in, how
ever, and persuaded the holders of
the microphone to allow him to say
word. I'VE want Byrd" he shout
ed. Almost as soon as the words
left his lips. he was knocked down
and the mike dragged away from
him.
The anti-third termers feel af-
fronted because, they say, they were
never given a chance to step out
the whole force of the administra-
ton was thrown into their own
States to prevent them from pick
ing candidates of their own choos-
ing. although the President declined
to admit that he was candidate for
denomination.
How deep is all this going in the
coming campaign? Especially when
the President has to carry the bur-
den OF the third-term issue. One
thing is true, however, the desire
of the Democrats of all factions
for, national victory is intense and
the candidates have to run in every
State on the ticket with Roosevelt.
That is likely to be potent.

Six Young Britishers
Aid Chinese Relief

Six university men, all single
have given up successful careers
in Great Britain to work for this
relief of distress in Southwes,
China. They answered an appeal
from the Red Cross Relief Station
at Kweiyang, in Kweichow Prov
ince. For the duration of the Sino-
Japanese war they will do the work
of missionaries among refugees and
wounded.
The leaders are Evert Barger,
lecturer at Bristol University, and
Llewellyn Evans, an engineer. The
youngest member is Michael Sulli-
van, %, a London schoolmaster, and
the veteran is Llewellyn's brother,
Owen Evans, 80, also an engineer.

tice the force of precedent and
usage"
Why did the delegates to a Demo-
cratic National Convention-which
party has again and again declared
against the third-term idea and
has in fact been almost as often
in favor of a single term-disregard
the advice of Thomas jefferson?
The only answer is that modern
delegates and modern politicians,
If not modern statesmen, are far
more interested in winning an cleo
ton and preserving the prerequisites
of public power than they are in
saving their country.

cations and participating in the
back-Stage maneuvers which have
brought these hand-picked delega-
tons to Chicago.
This cannot have gone on with
out the knowledge of the President,
for it has been printed in the news
papers and has been the subject of
conversation from one end of the
country to the other. Does Mr..
Roosevelt believe he is not respon-
slble for the acts of his own cabinet,
his own appointees, his own agents?
II he does, then a brief examina-
ton of the principle of employer
employe relationship, as laid down
by his own National Labor Relations
Board and confirmed by the courts,
would be interesting. That board has
ruled that every president of a cor
poration and, indeed, the company
itself is responsible for what it's own
foremen or supervisory staff may say
or do.
Other Candidates. Squelched.
The debate as to whether in the
present emergency President
should be renominated for a third
term may bring honest differences of
opinion, but there can be no per-
suasive answer to the fact that a
President of the United States, by
his silence and by the acts of his
own immediate official family, has
permitted situation to develop
whereby the candidates. of all others
have been squelched lest the men
who sponsor them lose favor with
the administration
The purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt in
having third-person statement
made in his behalf by Senator
Barley instead of in the first person
may seem little odd, but the
speech of acceptance which will be
made in response to the so-called
draft" will have to be a direct
statement of the Presidents reasons
for breaking a tradition that has
been in effect since the beginning
of the Republic.
What is more disturbing about the
breaking the precedent is not
so much the third nomination it
self, but the means used by the
Executive to win it. This will for
all times be charged against his
record.
Called Blow Against Party.
Perhaps the most devastating
blow that Mr.. Roosevelt will have
delivered by accepting a third nomi-
nation will be against the Demo-
cratic party itself. He himself may
be forgiven an error of judgment,
but what shall be said of the 1000
or more delegates who have in
dividual judgment and knowledge
of history? How will they answer
these calmly written phrases of
the founder of the Democratic
party-Thomas jefferson?
IF the principle of rotation be a
sound one, as I conscientiously be-
lieve it to be, with respect to this
Office. no preteXt should ever be
permitted to dispense with it, be-
cause there never will be a time
when real difficulties will not exist
and furnish a plausible pretext for
dispensation"
The foregoing was written in
January 1909, and then many years
after retirement when jefferson had
a chance for disinterested and sober
reflection on the subject of presi-
dental tenure, namely in 1921, he
wrote as follows:
THE example of four Presidents,
voluntarily retiring at the end of
their eighth year and the progress
of public opinion that the principle
is salutary, have given it in prac-

Dealers and the more conservative
so-called Jef1ersonian Democrats
There has been intense feeling
on both sides. The President did not
help matters when he allowed him
self to be drawn into the purge
campaign in 1888 against Demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives
who had opposed him on the SUI
preme Court bill and the reorgani-
cation bill. The feeling engendered
in that 1888 campaign has persisted
up to the present time.
The determination of the Presi-
dent and the New Deal wing to keep
control of the party has been mani
fest for a long time. Indeed it is
not unlikely that the whole ma
neuvering Of the President and the
so-called third termers during the
last six or eight months has been
directed toward that end. One
thing the President has insisted
upon-that the nominees of the
party In 1910 should be Democrats
Of the New Deal variety and not of
the Garner. Bennett Clark, Tydings
George and Van Mugs stripe.
Deep Scars Are Left.
To accomplish that end, the ad-
ministration leaders have ridden
ruthlessly over the "antis" in State
primaries and State conventions.
There would be little wonder If the
scars left by these battles were too
deep for healing in the next few
months.
Out here in Chicago all has not
been beer and skittles. The heads
of the regular Democratic organ
ization from Jim" Farley down
have felt affronted because the
White House has had as it's spokes-
men during the convention period
Secretary Of Commerce Hopkins,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
Secretary of the Interior Ickes, and
others of the New Deal inner circle.
The New Dealers, for their part,
say that Mr.. Farley stepped out of
character when he became a candi-
date for the presidential nominal
ton. He could no longer be consi-
dered primarily national chairman
of the party. In their opinion, he
should have determined to be one
thing or the other. and if he re-
manned as national chairman and
as member of the President S
Cabinet, he should have been either
neutral or in the Presidents cor
ner. fighting his battles. Instead of
that, they point out. Mr.. Farley
became a focal rallying point for
the anti-third termers.
Will Not "Take a Walk"
Mr. Farley has made it clear that
whether he continues in his present
Office as national chairman or
whether he steps out of that Office
and out of the cabinet, he will not
take walk" because of a third
term nomination of President
Roosevelt.
II am a Democrat" he said. He
added that he would support the
nominee Of the party-Mr. Roose-
velt-even though it went against

WRONG-HOW DARE ANYONE
CHALLENGE THE KING?


But the association of air pilots has
challenged the King. So have many
thousand regular airline passengers
who do not wish to trust their lives to
Mr.. Roosevelt's political vagaries. So
has the major part of the American
press which cannot understand why
the President wishes to hazard the risk
of resumption of airline accidents by
changing a system which has worked
with marked success.
WHY DID MR.. ROOSEVELT DO
IT? The only explanation we can
think of that makes sense is that
whenever the New Deal finds some
thing that is working all right it must
Immediately change it. Such is the way
the New Deal now has operated for
seven years.
