BUDDING LITTLE FLOWER?

BUDDING LITTLE FLOWER?
WASHINGTON.-You don't hear
much about him in the presidential
sweepstakes. but one nan worth
keeping your eye on these days is
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.
There have been two significant
developments which may mean
something to the future destiny Of
New York's Little Flower"
First, it was no accident that he
took himself out Of the Illinois Re
publican primary. LaGuardia didn't
want to be stamped definitely as a
Republican. AS a matter of fact,
LaGuardia was first elected to ON
gress as a Republican, and later
was defeated by a Tammany DEM
ocrat. But in his mayoralty cam
paigns he has always received as
much support from Progressive
Democrats as from Republicans.
Actually LaGuardia is a Roosevelt
New Dealer, and the President has
talked to him about the possibility

ticket.
Second, LaGuardia has made
peace with Tammany. Or perhaps
1t would be more correct to say
that Tammany has made peace

Tammany Strategy.
This Is extremely significant. For
seven years Tammany bosses have
been ready to give their eye-teeth
to defeat the Little Flower. He Is
the last man they want running New
York city. Therefore, they would
be delighted to promote" him
make him vice president of the
United States or even President,
provided only that he be promoted
out Of New York city.
So LaGuardia can count upon the

nations. This country offered them

the most effective haven Of refuge

this earth. Such anti-semitism as
there is here today is, I think, negli-
gible and prevails only among the
least informed people in more e
mote places, who see so little Of
Jews in general that they have been
unable fairly to examine the SUBJ
stance of their prejudice.
In these circumstances, it seems
to me that intelligent Jewish people
should be the very last, in their
hearts or in their minds, to seek
any European tie-ups with America,
either as to military alliances or
ideas Of government. In my obser-
walton, few Of the best informed do.
ROOSEVELT NOMINATION.?
Whether he likes it or not, the
Democrats r almost certain to
nominate Mr.. Roosevelt. To me,
this seems so plain as scarcely to
need argument. But since other OBJ
servers have advanced reasons to
the contrary. perhaps I had better
state mine.
The party has no other candidate
who could pull SO many votes. per-
haps none who has a Chinaman's
chance. Mr.. Roosevelt has some
thing considerably more than that
especially If the Republicans, as
now seems probable, repeat all the
blunders Of 1886. In that event,
Mr.. Roosevelt is a Ire shot, but no
other Democrat is. Thus in party
strategy, as distinguished from the
fourth New Deal strategy, there is
just about the only reason politi-
clans understandable is, by all odds,
the best bet.
When we come to the fourth New
Deal reasons, apart from party rea-
sons. the case is many times strong
err. With that influential crew, it is
Roosevelt or nothing-more than
nothing-utter and complete OBJ
Gvion. If MIR. Roosevelt should not
be nominated, it is pretty generally
conceded that he cannot name a
successor from that group, but only
from the Democrats. In either that
case or the case that Mr.. Roosevelt
is the nominee and is defeated, that
crew is so far out that the art Of
