after he had won it on the fourth
ballet
Here, too, occurred the dramatic
all night balloting while James A.
Farley battled to put Mr.. Roose-
velt over the hump of the now de-
funct two-third rule.
Many of the delegates and party
leaders who were present in June,
1882, were back on the convention
floor this year, again prepared to
shout for Mr.. Roosevelt.
But of the candidates who op-
posed him for the nomination eight
years ago, most have dropped from
prominence in the party. Most
prominent among them were AL
fred E. Smith, President John
N. Garner, George White, Melvin
Traylor, Harry F. Byrd, James A.
Reed, alfalfa Bill Murray of
Oklahoma, Newton D. Baker, and
Gov. Albert Ritchie of Maryland.
Ba1loting began late on June 80
and continued throughout the night.
Mr.. Roosevelt had a commanding
lead but could not gather the neces-
sary two-thirds vote. After the
third ballot the convention recess
ed to 9 Am. the next day.
The Roosevelt hackers worked
feverishly during the intervening
hours before the next session. They
had their reward when California
was called on the fourth ballot.
Sen William G.. McAdoo stepped
to the rostrum and announced to
a wildly cheering crowd that Cali
fornie was switching it's votes from
Garner to Roosevelt. The nomina-
ton was assured.
The next day Garner was nomi-
mated for Vice President by accla-
nation.
Mr.. Roosevelt had been waiting
in the governors mansion at AL
bany. When word of his nomina-
ton was flashed, he and his wife
and two sons boarded an airplane
for Chicago to- accept the nomina-
ton. Always before the nominee
had awaited formal notification by
committee.
In his triumphant appearance be-
fore the convention, millions of
voters as we'll as many delegates
heard his voice for the first time
as he proclaimed "a new DEAL

Byrnes of South Carolina, another
spokesman for the President, only a
few minutes afterward tell the dele
gates to come back today and fin
ish the business for which we came,
namely, to draft President Roose-
welt for denomination"
Coincidentally, a mechanical DEM
onstraticn was heard whereby the
same voice yelling into a floor mi
crophone named State after State
delegation as wanting Roosevelt.
Thinly Yelled Artifice.
The artifciality of the whole pro-
cedure was transparent. The third
termers presumably believe the peo-
pie will accept all this as spontane-
Gus. Likewise they will believe pre-
sumably that the presence here of
q committee consisting of five cabinet
members and administration Sena-
tors to look out for the President s
interests and keep the delegates in
line was without knowledge or con-
sent of the Chief Executive.
The capacity for mischief of a
determined minority in any we'll
controlled convention is always
indeterminate.
The third-termerS and New
Dealers are being annoyed more
than anything else by two separate.
though often combined, influences
One group threatens platform
fight against consumption and de-
mands an even weaker plank on
foreign policy than has been offered
by the administration.
Another group wants to let loose
on the third-term issue with
minority report on the platform.
The administration forces are
yielding on the foreign policy plank.
They are ready to declare against
all wars and against anything the
isolationists may regard as harmful.
So little is the regard here for plat
form making and so plain is the
intention to pay no attention to
the platform during the campaign
anyhow that it may be said in ad-
vance-the platform will be written
to overcome opposition here and will
be interpreted" later by President
Roosevelt as he has always done.
A Two-Edged Sword.
AS for a debate on the third-term
issue, this is a two-edged sword.
Some of the NeW Dealers think the
issue ought to be met squarely now
as the delegates here are the ones
who will have to meet it when they
get back home. AS one prominent
administration man put it: "The
third-term precedent is just dogma.
Why should we be bound in this
day and age by what Washington
said?"
From the speeches thus far it is
difficult to believe the third-termers
are in touch with public sentiment.
They are still talking as if this were
the 1896 campaign when domestic
issues loomed high above all others.
Very little is being said about the
charges of military unpreparedness
and it is obvious, too. that the third
termers are on the defensive with
respect to war issues, but these are
given secondary, If not negligible
attention.

fourth Of the program. Another

tract for 1900 planes. which will be
signed presently. This record has
been accomplished in spite Of newt
able difficulties attendant upon an
expanding personnel. crowded offices,
changed laws and the necessity Of
modifying procedure in countless
directions. 1t is the sleepless effort
of all concerned to expedite awards
for the remainder of appropriated
funds, not only to get industry to
work as rapidly as possible. but also
to clear the decks for the larger
program. While the latter cannot
be executed until approved by Con-
gress, arrangements are already in

Rome Not Built in Day.
Anxious as the country is for
visible preparedness results, and
urgent as these are, 1t has to be re-
membered that Rome was not built
in a day. BY the acid tests of both
the objective and the start made
towards its execution, there is ample
evidence that the program Of supply
preparedness is proceeding satisfac-
torily, even II not at the dizzy pace
which the uninformed may have
expected. We are facing a long
battle. On the average, quantity
production Of difficult munitions,
even in high-speeded America, can
not be obtained in less than a year.
The creation Of stocks will require
several months more. But it is
highly gratifying to be assured, on
authority, that even these longtime
factors are less than half those
required by Great Britain, France
and Germany.
We Are on the Way.
MeSsrs. Stettinus, Knudsen and
their associates, seasoned men of
industrial affairs, feel that the Ma
ton has every right to be treasured
by what has so far been accom-
plished. Their confidence on this
score should convince the country
that everything that can conceivably
be done to pave the way to strength
ened national defense efficiently and
promptly is being tackled with a
minimum Of wasted time and effort.
There is healthy respect beyond our
shores for Americas mighty indus
trial potentialities. These are now
being harnessed on truly prodigious
scale. Their purpose is to make the
United States invincible against ex-
ternal attack. That is the Alpha
and Omega of the national defense
program, and it is on the way.

A Definite Objective.
Authentic information just made
available to this observer indicates
the program for materiel prepared
ness has been developed at rate
believed to be without parallel in
any country's history. 1t has been
put in motion on the theory that
before success In any endeavor can
be effected. there must be clearly
defined objective. The National De-
tense Advisory Commission, acting
in closest liaison and harmony with
the War and Navy Departments, is
proceeding on what it believes to
be both sound and sufficient pro-
gram. 1t is geared not only for
speeding execution, but for fiexi-
bility. What is adequate" defense
today may be inadequate tomorrow.
Blitzkrieg has taught us that. It
was on this basis that the present
unprecedented Army and Navy ap-
propriations were granted, providing
approximately (apart from naval
construction) for $1,000, 100000 for
munitions preparedness. That is a
gigantic sum for our peace-time
Army, but relatively small for a
fighting army.
y 4 "
Changing Conditions.
lightning changes in world condi-
tions have made it apparent that we
need not only a two-ocean Navy,
but vastly augmented provisions for
an Army that may one day be called
upon to cooperate in hemisphere
defense. Designed to meet altered
conditions, the supplementary muni-
tions program of June 30 was SUBJ
mitted to Congress, specifying the
numbers of airplanes, guns, tanks,
ammunition, etc, that must be pro-
duced. If approved, it will provide
approximately $3,800,0O0000 more
for military preparedness. Thus, a
grand total of about $4,000, ,00O, 600
would be provided with which to put
industry to work in big way to
produce the machine power neces-
sary to the defense of America.
What the Plan Is. a
This program was not formulated
at random. It is based upon plans
under consideration by the Army for
years. 1t was outlined by the Pres
ident in his July 10 message to
Congress. 1t provides % for the
total equipment of q land force of
approximately 100000 men; (2)
for procurement of reserve stocks
of tanks, guns, artillery, ammunition,
ETC., for another 100000 men, or a
total of 100000, If mobilization of
such wartime force should become
necessary; 90 for provision of man.

vate, necessary to produce critical
items of equipment required for
2 100000 men, and for production
