Mr.. DeWey's attacks upon the pres
ent administration and what it has
failed to do?
Mr.. Ickes in an article appearing
IN the current issue of Look pic
lures Mr.. Dewey-who has been
known far and wide in America
because he took several pernicious
"rackets" to pieces in New York
City and put number of corrupt
politicians in jail-as the "Clamor
Boy" of the Republican party. Mr..
1ckes does not reply to anything
that Mr.. Dewey has said about the
New Deal administration in his
speeches. The Secretary of the
Interior contents himself with say
ing "as yet there is nothing in
them"-DeWey's speeches. He in
vokes the argumentum ad homi-
mem, calling names and belittling
the New Yorker as a dude"
In conclusion, Mr.. Ickes proph-
estes that, in the event Mr.. Dewey
should be nominated for President
by the Republicans and subse-
quently elected, he would be merely
the mouthpiece of Mark Hanna.
Mark Hanna is, of course. long since
dead But because Mrs Ruth Han

1t may be that Mr.. Ickes will turn

Ohio. also candidates or near candi-

nomination. At present. however,

prevent his nomination. In all like
lihood they would publicly assert
their delight at the prospect of a
Dewey nomination. if it were sug-
gested they feared him in any way
as an opponent.
Mr. Ickes calls Mr.. Dewey a singer
of songs without words" referring
to the fact that Dewey before he
went into the law trained for a
singing career. In the opinion of
the Secretary of the Interior, this
is no time for the American people
to have singer in the White House.
In the same issue of Look there
appear the results of poll of the
members of the Republican and

peace talks are constantine bro~h'
one thing and war is another. They
want to prove that unless the Rus
sian terms are definitely accepted
there can be no letdown of air
bombardments
The people of Finland have stood
these air raids for many weeks now.
When they heard that the leaders
of their government went to Mos
cow they hoped that there would be
at least a respite during the pre-
iiminary conversatio But this was
not the case.
Defense Still Continues.
In the meantime the Firms are
wondering, like the rest of the world,
what actual assistance they can
expect from the allies Baron Man
nerheim's forces are still fighting
successful defensive war and yield
ing ground only by inches. If the
negotiations fail-that is to say if
Finland refuses to surrender-thev
know there will be a terrific mass
attack on their lines. Despite the
heroism of the Finnish troops and
the excellence of their defensive
lines it is doubtful if the army
can resist more than two or three
weeks. Will the allies-the Finnish
government asks now-be in q posi-
ton to enter the fighting scene be-
fore it is too late? Can a large eX-
peditionary force of no less than
$4,000 men reach Finland in time?
These are questions which remain
unanswered for the time being.
According to certain military ex-
perts. even If an expeditionary coros
has been already gathered-this IS
possible, although nobody has heard
anything about it yet-it will take
quite while for $4,000 men to Iard
in Norway. cross Scandinavia snd
reach the Finnish defense lines.
Landing In Arctic Unlikely.
The prospects of a mass landinC
in the Arctic Circle are somewhat
remote, especially at this time of
the year. The Norwegian and
Swedish governments had not been
approached by the end of last week
by the allies with request to per-
nit the crossing Of military forces
