Constantine Brown. the allies is that
Germany is feeling seriously the
pinch Of the blockade. Her leaders
realize that within the next few
months France and Britain will be
ever 30 much better prepared for
resistance. Hence, If the Reich
has to strike at all, 1t must strike
now and without delay. It is q
desperate card the Germans will
be playing, but they are in the
position Of the gambler who must
stake his last cent on the turn Of
q card.
This point Of view appears to be
strongly held in London and in
Paris and explains-partially-the
Tightening Of the blockade against
Germany which in many instances
goes against certain principles Of
the international law.
Hope Of Peace Given Up.
The other point Of view represent.
Ing certain neutrals and non -beln.
gerent Italy is that the Reich has
given up all hope for peaceful set.
tlement with the allies. Hence,
there is no longer any reason for
them to hold back.
The powers Of the axis hoped that
Sumner Welles' trip to the various
capitals would clear up a number
OF misunderstanding" The Italians
and Germans believed that Mr..
Wellse would urge the allies to agree
to discuss "just peace" Until all
the roads to peace were definitely
closed the Germans did not want to
irk the masses in Great Britain and
IN France with an active and costly
war. They hoped their passive at
titude, and the organization of East.
ern Europe into workshop for the
Reich would wear out the French
and the British populations and they
would force their governments to talk
peace.
This did not happen. however. Pub.
lie opinion is still behind the gov
ernments Of Paris and London and
allows them free hand in the con.
duct Of the present war. The fact
that there has been no fighting on
the western front has not had a de-
pressing effect on public opinion in
the allied countries.
Hope for Better Effect"
Hence the Germans may have de.
cided that a little terrorism ex.
pressed In virulent attack against
the allied front coupled with mass
air attacks against British and
French industrial centers might have
q better" effect on the stubborn
British and French.
With all hope for peace on Ger
many's terms vanished, it would ap-
pear that there is nothing left for
the high command but to strike

publican party, and took "Progres-
sive" nominations in a primary Of
their own.
Given Roosevelt Support.
Senator La Toilette came up for
reelection as Progressive in 1884.
President Roosevelt gave him his
blessing-against the Democratic
nominee for the Senate, an old line
AL Smith Democrat. In 1896, Sena-
tor La Toilette and his brother Phil,
who regained the governorship, both
supported the President for re-
election.
While Philip La Toilette has made
no announcement of his future po-,
iitical plans. 1t is now believed he
will not seek election as Governor
this year. The primaries for the
nomination do not take place until
next September. Philip La Toilette
was the prime mover In organization
OF. the National Progressives, a party
going far beyond the bounds of Wis
consin, or rather intended to become
national in scope. Up until the
present time, the new party has
Jared badly. 1t was launched In
1888, when the swing from left to
right IN politics in this country had
already begun.
If the Republicans should sweep
Into power next November nation
ally as we'll as in Wisconsin-the
G. o. P. already controls the State
house in the Badger State-it may
be that Philip La Toilette will give
a good deal of time and attention to
the expansion of the National Pro-
gressives. The same thing would
happen if the Democrats nominate
conservative for President.
What has happened IN Wisconsin
is shown by comparison of the
election returns Of 1882 and 1896
with those of 1888 and of last Tues
days primary. In 1882 Roosevelt
carried Wisconsin against Hoover
with a vote of 707,4l0 to 347,741 for
the Republican. Four years later the
Roosevelt vote mounted still higher.
The President received 8O3,947 votes
to 380.826 for ALI NJ. Landon, the
G. O. P. standard bearer.
Alliance Seen as Only Hope.
In 1888 the Republicans elected
Julius He'll Governor, put Senator
Wiley in the Upper House in place of
Democrat and elected a majority
Of the members of the House. Yes
terday, they showed their strength
in the primaries, running we'll up
with the Democrats, who had the
support in the presidential primary
OF a great many of the Progressives.
In 1888 the Republican opposition
was split, for the Democrats and
Progressives both had candidates for
Governor and Senator in the field.
The Republicans won, the Progress
sives ran second and the Democratic
candidates were badly outdistanced.
It would appear that the only hope
for Progressives and Democrats this
year Is to enter an alliance.
It has been suggested in some
quarters, that Senator La Toilette
should return to the Republican fold
and seek Republican nomination
In the primaries. That, however,
might be an exceedingly tough job,
In view Of his desertion of the G.. O..
p, even If all the Progressives fol-

Socialist Mayor for "a years, was
defeated on Tuesday.
Senator Bob" has a big follow
ing in Wisconsin, where his ability
is recognized. However, the Repub-
licans this year apparently are on
the up-and-up. If they put forward
a good candidate, 1t may go hard
with La Toilette. Only some kind
of a coalition between the Demo-
Gratis and the La Toilette Progress
sives-whether merely understood
or of more formal kind-can, 1t
appears, now save Senator La Fol-
lette IN the November election.
1t may be that the Progressives
will give support to Democratic
candidate for Governor OF the State
in return for support for Senator
La Toilette. However. such a deal
would not sit we'll with many Of
the Progressives, who are anxious
to regain control of the State house
II they can. Another plan would be
to trade the support of the Progress
sives to the Democratic nominee for
President, whether he be Roosevelt
or another, for Democratic support
of the Progressive candidates for
Senator and Governor.
Bargain in the Wind.
Without the aid of the Progress
sives, the Democrats have no chance
whatever to carry Wisconsin, either
for President or for major State
office 1t looks, therefore, as though
the heads of the two parties, Demo-
Gratis and Progressives. would drive
them into bargain-more likely, II
1t is to succeed-along the line of
Democratic support for Progressive
candidates for Governor and Senator
and Progressive support for the
Democratic presidential nominee.
However, if the Democrats should
put up for President Q conservative
candidate, 1t would be difficult per-
haps to line up the rank and file Of
the Progressives for him. They
might. however, go to the aid Of a
presidential candidate whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared entirely
satisfactory. .
The last Democratic Governor was
elected here in 1882, when former
Gov. Schnredernan was victorious
with the aid of the Progressives In
that year, Philip La Toilette was de-
feated in the Republican primary
for the gubernatorial nomination-it
was before the La Follettes formed
their own Progressive party and left
the G. o. P. fold in name as well as
intent. The Progressives that year
had no candidate Of their own. Also
they turned to President Roosevelt
against former President Herbert
Hoover.
