Court Seen Reluctant
To Curb Chief Executive
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 8.-Jacob
NJ. LASTLY of st. Louis, president Of
the American Bar Association, pre-
diets the Supreme Court will become
more and more reluctant to place
restraints on the executive and
legislative branches Of the Federal
Government"
Pointing to a definite change in
constitutional policy as written by
the Supreme Court" Mr.. LASTLY told
300 Oklahoma lawyers last night
"the court has not stricken down a
legislative act since 1887 and I think
it rather obvious that the old
philosophy is not to be used as stop
for expression Of the majority view
in sociological problems. Judicial
restraint is the new trend. We have
seen a change in the fundamental
policy Of American democracy.
Pressure groups are be-
ginning to make their power felt in
Government. Some think a new
philosophy is necessary, that group
interest is more important than the
individuals interest standing alone
That's what confronts U.s."

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Sven
dell L. Willkie, though he lost to
President Roosevelt in Tuesdays
election, carried his native State BY
nearly $4,000 votes.
Complete unofficial Indiana re-
turns gave the Republican Presi-
Dental nominee 800 ,248 votes to Mr.
RooseVelt's 5,418. -Four years ago
President Roosevelt had a 243.000-
vote margin over ALI M. Landon ir
Indiana.
Political observers credited the
Willkie Hoosier campaign-started
with a notification in his native FL
wood August l7-with helping pile
up a record presidential vote OF
1,774666-more than 10000 over
1885.
The complete unofficial tabulation
showed Republican Raymond E
Willis, 65-year old Angola news
paper editor, elected Senator over

Election Seen
AS Protecting
Reform Lows
Landslide Held
Avoiding Political
Paralysis
BY JAY FRANKLIN.

Now that Roosevelt has won In q
landslide Of electoral votes, in the
third such Of the New Deal, few
facts emerge above the dust and
rubbie of the recent unpleasantness
IN the first place, the American
people-having won the New Deal
for the third time In succession
will be allowed to keep it. The
Willkie campaign emphasized the
Republican candidates acceptance
Of the New Deal reforms-a posi-
ton which would not have been
taken unless his party had believed
that those reforms were extremely
popular. The people obviously be-
lieved that those reforms would be
safer in the hands of the New Deal
ers, who had fought for them, than
in the control of the party which
had opposed them.
Landslide Important.
In the second place, 1t was iust
as important for America that
Roosevelt should win in a land
slide as that he should win at all.
A close election on the order of
| 1916. with a photo finish" would
have put a premium on the policy
of opposition and Illustration. Just
/ as Willkie victory would have left
/ the Senate in Democratic control,
so would a close election have
thrown the House of Representa-
tives to the Republicans. Either
way would have led to political
| paralysis.
On my own account, I hereby
serve notice that have recsptured
the title Eve, the People" from the
| Willkie-ites They took it for CAM
paign purposes without asking my
| permission or even acknowledging
the fact that 1t had been the title
Of my column since March, 1896.
Since the people. by their votes,
showed that they were not with
/ Willkie, the title of I'VE, the Peo-
pie" is again mine for at least four
years, by right of eminent domain.
Advertising Not Enough.
Coming back to the main line. It
has been demonstrated that expert
publicity and the services of the
aces of the advertising profession
are not enough to win a national
election. The Willkie campaign
was the most effective conservative
campaign effort since the famous
Mark Hanna campaign of 1895. It
failed. and in the wreckage 1t swept
down Mr.. Bruce Barton of New
York, the author of the blueprints
and the deviser Of the strategy Of
the Republican party in 1895 and
in 1910.
Finally, Mr.. Roosevelt has con-
solidated his position as the real
leader Of American labor. John L.
Lewis may well reconsider his
promise to resign as chairman Of
the Congress of Industrial Organ
izations, but 1t has been proven
that not even Lewis could deliver
the votes of his most devoted fol-
lowers to the conservative candi-
dates

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.

With the Italians redoubling their
efforts on a big scale to try to smash
their way through the fiercely re-
sisting Greeks, the Balkans are
keyed to a pich where it wouldn't
take much more to cause a gen.
eral upheaval.
A flaming Balkan Peninsula is
the last thing the axis partners
want, as they methodically prepare
the way for their big offensive
against the British in the Eastern
Mediterranean area. So we see Herr
Hitler sitting on the lid, with a
great mechanical army ready in
Rumania.
The Fuehrer thus serves a double
purpose. He prevents general
conflagration from upsetting his
program, and he prevents help
reaching the Greeks from neigh
bors to make the Fascist path even
more thorny than the invaders have
been finding it.
Axis Plan Developing.
The axis operations IN the Balkans
have been developing like an old
fashioned crazy -quilt-one carefully
selected piece being added at a
time. Hitler's scheme seems to be
to take the Balkan states over one
by one, without any more disturb
ance than necessary, until he has
consolidated that whole strategic
area into a base from which to try
to force the DardenelleS and drive
at Britain's eastern flank.
Whether he will inaugurate this
big offensive soon must depend on
circumstances, including Mussolinis
progress in Greece. The axis will be
daring if it tackles the Dardanelles
before spring, since the fall and
winter weather in that part of the
world is pretty terrible. Terrain,

in a political party Wendell Will
kie has a remarkable opportunity to
keep the new Republican party in
tact and to organize its ranks for
succeeding battles. This very factor
will have an effect on the New Deal
administration because it will tend
to act as a restraint on the radical
ism that might be tempted to crop
out once more as it did after the
1886 election.
Ickes Jeopardizes Unity.
1t is all the more essential that a
constructively functioning minority
should continue to operate because
there are some New Dealers who in
tend to keep the wounds of the
campaign wide open. Thus Secre-
tary Ickes NAV or may not be one
of these, but his ironical challenge
to the press just issued and his i'm
putation of unfairness is not going
to be conducive to national unity at
this time. Where Mr. Ickes makes
his mistake is in charging in effect
that the press allowed its editorial
support of Willkie to interfere with
its presentation Of the news or the
speeches of the prominent candi-
dates. He declares that the radio
was or is free and implies that the
press isn't.
AS a matter of fact, the radio was
paid for the carrying Of political
speeches and the press gave valuable
news space to speeches OF both par
ties free of charge. When Mr.. IckeS
hints that the press should not have
supported Mr.. Willkie in such large
numbers and asks for public con-
sheraton" of the attitude of the
press, he is treading on dangerous
ground. He might inadvertently
create the impression that the die
tatorship so widely predicted during
the last campaign is on its way and
that he wants a Government-con-
trolled press. This could be done
under the guise of war powers, but
it may be assumed that President
Roosevelt has more respect for the
$4,000, 900 protests of last Tuesday
than his Secretary of the Interior
who, by the way, has just submitted
his resignation-perhapS also for
public consideration.
