DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS
AND THE ISSUES

An irate subscriber boiled into the Of
flee the other day overlooking with
spleen generated by couple of recent
editorials praising President Roosevelt 5
deal whereby this country got string of
navy and air base leases from Great Brit
ain in exchange for so average destroy
PRS that Britain needed badly and immed-
lately
"You so-and-so Democrats he ex-
exploded, give me a pain in the neck.
He was, needless to say, Republic
can.
The ironical thing about it was that,
not more than a very few days before,
an irate Democrat had used quite SINH
lar words in describing his opinion of
another editorial which had praised
statement by Wendell l.. Willkie repud-
iating class prejudice groups which
sought to support him. "You blankety-
blank Republicans :. - he said.
To the iron-bound Republican, we We're
Democrats because we praised the Presi-
dent; the eternally faithful Democrat
thought us Republicans because we prais-
ed the Republican nominee.
Of course we have criticized the Presi-
dent far more than we have praised him
because we thought the things he did
deserved criticism. But we have praised
him, too, when we believed he deserves
praise.
And so with Willkie. We believe his
acceptance address was one of the great
est political documents of this decade.
We believe he would make a grand presi-
dent. But we cannot always agree with
him. We are on the contrary side of the
fence, for instance, in the destroyer deal.
We cannot agree with Mr. Willkie that
the Presidents act in this particular in
stance was one of dictatOrial implica-
tions. We cannot agree that the proposal
should have been submitted to congress
especially in view of the seemingly
endless debate by which congress has al
ready delayed the CONSUMPTION bill.
And we pray God that we may never
agree with one man on all things, nor
disagree with another on all things, just
because one belongs to one political>party
and the other belongs to another
To our way of thinking, the man who
disagrees with everything the New Deal
does or has done is just as bad as the
man who agrees with every New Deal
whim Neither one exercises judgment;
each casts his vote because he is mentally
too lazy to study the issues involved.
The thing we like most about Mr. Will
kie is the fact that he has accepted and
endorsed several New Deal reforms. The
thing we like least about President Roose-
welt is that he will never admit error,
even after it is proved.
We shall never endorse any candidate
because he is a Republican or Demo-
crat; we shall never agree with any man
on every oninion he has; we shall at
tempt always to consider the achieve
ments, actions and opinions of every one
in aggregate, and support him whose to-
tai record leads us to believe he can do
