The Political Mill
Roosevelt Corner Primary Showdown
Shapes Up for April 9 in Illinois

said yesterday he did not intend
entering. Frank Gannett, New
York newspaper publisher, has given
no indication he will venture the
contest, nor has Senator Bridges
Of New Hampshire. Senator Ar
thur H. Vandenberg, unless he
changes his mind, will not have his
name on the primary ballot. That
about disposes Of the avowed candi-
dates for the G. o. P. nomination.
Vandenberg to Speak.
Senator Vandenberg is leaving
here tomorrow night to 60 to st.
Paul, Mimi, where he is to make
a Lincoln birthday" address Sat-
urday night. This will be the one
big speech which the Michigan
Senator plans for the preconvention
campaign-except for those he
makes in the Senate 1t was in
Minnesota Minneapolis - that
Thomas E. Dewey started his cam
paign for the nomination, and made
a speech that was well received the
country over-except by the Demo-
Gratis.
Senator Vandenberg, on his way
to st. Paul, will meet the Vanden-
berg slate of delegates entered in
the Wisconsin primary. which is to
come one week before that in
Illinois. The Vandenbergers are
confident they have the strongest
slate that can be put forward,
headed by 1t. Gov Goodland.
Dewey is entered in that primary,
too, and Senator Taft is still con-
sidering making his entry. If he
does, the big three" in the Repub-
lican field will be hooked up in a
real race.
Vice President Garner already has
agreed to enter the Wisconsin pri-
mary. The third-termers would like
the President to enter, also. but
fear he will not permit the use of
his name. The field there is still
open to states for McNutt and
Wheeler, if they care to try their
luck-and it is likely one or the
other, or both, will do so.
According to some of the Ohio
Democrats who conferred with Sen
ator Donahey. he has agreed to be-
come a favorite son candidate for
the presidential nomination in the
primary which is to be held in that
State next May-and also to be
candidate for denomination to the
Senate. He has urged, however,
that the Democratic State Commit
tee and county leaders be called to-
gether to adopt program" which
will include making up a slate of
delegates and making him the can
didate. He did not like the idea
of being put forward-as he was
as stalking horse for the President
by the Democratic State chairman.
But if reports be true, he has finally
agreed to go through with the IA
vorite-son plan if his proposal is
carried out.
Shuts Out Others.
His entry into the presidential
preferential primary probably will
shut out any other candidates, just
as Senator Taft's candidacy has
halted any attempt on the part Of
Dewey and Vandenberg to win the
preference of the Ohio Republican
voters. Bucking the party organiza-

Mrs. James Van Allen. the turf for a
few hundred years"
For the imposing 50-room Greco
Corinthian mansion the late Fred
erick w. Vanderbilt brought over
the furniture and draperies used
by Napoleon and Josephine during
their honeymoon in Malmaison
Palace. Dr. John Bard, friend of
Benjamin Franklin, planted many
hundreds of fruit trees, to which
in later years were added Japanese
jinkos and exotic shrubs from many
countries. The estate will become
a public arboretum if the Gov
ernment gets it.
Mrs. James Van Allen, Mr.. VAN
derbilt'S favorite niece, inherited
the property in 1888, with her uncle's
town house at 1925 Fifth avenue,
which she sold last year. Although
many millions had been poured into
the estate, it was reported that
Mrs. Van Allen had offered it for
sale for s500,000, with no takers.
She received the greater portion Of
the childless millionaire's estate,
including his yachts, automobiles
and jewelry. Her husband, who
was related to the Astor family,
died in Paris in 1927. Her daugh-
ter, Louise, was the wife of the
late Prince Mdivani:
She was Miss Margaret F. Post,
daughter of Mrs. William Post OF New
York and sister of Mrs. Thomas H.
Howard. She was known as Daisy
Post in her debutante days and
first appeared in the Mayfair spot
| light as a bridesmaid at Counselo
Vanderbilt's wedding to the Duke of
Marlborough. After the death of
her husband, Mrs Van Allen was q
constant companion to her aging
uncle, who was 81 years old at the
time of his death. He had lived 43
years on the Hyde Park estate,
making little forays in gardening
and raising pigs and chickens, ap-
parently with the feeling that the
land should be put to use. But in
later years he abandoned these ven-
lures, and the stately domain rode
through to the era OF changes
merely as the best-groomed estate
in America.
Stanford White designed the
four-story mansion. builU in 1898,
200 feet above the Hudson, with a
2O-mile sweep of view up and down

]. Kelly of Chicago and Patrick A
Nash, the Democratic national
committeeman, both of whom art
ardent third-termers. The Presi-
dent has until February "a to with
draw his name, under the law
After that it must stay on the
ballot.
If there is no withdrawal by the
President from this contest, and
Vice President Garner enters, as II
is now said he will, April 9, the
date of the primary, will bring a
real showdown. Vice President
Garner is a bona-fide candidate
for the presidential nomination
whatever the President may be
And If the President permits his
name to go before the voters OF
Illinois in opposition to Mr.. Garner
he will also be regarded as an ac-
tive candidate for the nomination
whether he desires 1t or not. Should
he run far ahead of Garner in the
primary, as New Dealers insist he
would, the third-term movement
would receive tremendous boost.
Some of the Presidents most
earnest supporters continue to in
sist that he will not, in the end
be a candidate. And some Of them
say that he will not make any
statement about the nomination
until the time OF the convention
If he doesn't, the eventual nominee
of the party will look pretty small
Surprise Move Forecast.
No one has been advised, at least
publicly, when the President viii
make a statement regarding his
own plans. He can, Of course, speak
at any time he desires. The chances
are that when he does break ST.
lence, it will be a surprise move
Notwithstanding the present band
wagon rush, do not believe he will
be a candidate.
The Republican National Com
niittee, which meets here February
Is. will be urged to hxs the date OF
the G. o. P. National Convention
within the week of June 18. If the
convention opens Monday or Tues
day of that week, it will get started
either June Is or 16. The idea OF
those proposing such date is that
the Republicans pay no attention
whatever to the date fixed by the
Democrats-but hold their con-
vention, nominate their candidates
as usual and get ready for the cam
paign.
There is one school Of thought
however, among the Republicans
which still chngs to the idea o1
holding a convention so late in the
year that the Democrats, If they
wish to have the last say in the
matter Of nominations and plat.
forms, will have to hold their con.
vention no earlier than August
Some advice of that kind has
reached Republican headquarter:
here already.
The decision of Senator Robert
A. Taft of Ohio not to enter the
Illinois presidential preferential pri.
mary leaves that field exclusively
to District Attorney Thomas E
Dewey of New York unless there
are some later entries. Representa-.

interests representing five major
powers. Japan may feel she should
have a substantial interest in such
development projects, but she needs
capital to carry on her own eXpan-
sion. The United States needs an
outlet for her gold. Japan's inter-
est in China is primarily economic.
So also is the interest of the United
States and other powers, though to
a much less degree. If the Japanese
militarists can perceive the wisdom
of looking upon Far East oppor-
tunities more from an economic
than a political standpoint, a COM
mon ground for the formulation OF
a Joint OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
program of commercial expansion
can readily be foreseen.
But the whole problem is being
permitted to reach emotional stages
when actually there are economic
factors which are susceptible Of
mutually satisfactory settlement
When two governments get nowhere
through open attacks and critical
speeches, they often find it advan-
tageous to suspend the recrimina-
tions and sit down with experts at
a round table to try to arrive at a
workable formula. Japan and
America and China have coop
Grated before and the plan for eco
nomic and financial collaboration
can be re-established, with reai-
zation, OF course, that Japan Is
being excluded by our tariffs from
this country and from many other
countries In the world.

up for reelection next fall, and the
Progressives undoubtedly will have
a candidate for Governor and candi-

in strength in the Badger State-as
