Washington Observations
Political Campaign Plays Second Fiddle to
Events Beyond Seos in PubIic's Attention

born resistance Britain is putting
up and for the way she is throwing
out of gear the Nazi invasion sched-
ule. The popular demand that the
United States must not enter the
war remains as strong as ever,
although it is gradually dawning
upon more and more of our people
that danger approaches the Amer
icas with every hour that the ag-
greSsor powers remain unchecked in
their drive for world conquest. Fur
ther aid for Britain, short Of war"
probably depends on developments
in the Far East. and our own pos
sible needs there.
China's Vital Role.
Our decision to loan China an
other S25,000O00 and to embargo
exports of iron and steel scrap to all
countries except Great Britain and
those in this hemisphere, is fresh
evidence of American realization of
menacing conditions in the Far

shek is able to keep Japan's armies
occupied on the mainland of Asia,
by just so much is lessened the
peril of the island empires extend
ing its aggressive activities in the
Pacific. In other words, to enable
the Chinese continuously to fight
Japan is an integral feature of the
United States policy for preserva-
ton of the status quo in Asia.
Tokio's hankering to grab French
Indo-China has imperialist expan-
sion goals in view, but the main OBJ
jective is to strike the Chinese at
vital point and end their re-
sistance after more than three years
of futile and frightfully costly Japa-
nese effort. Roosevelt and Willkie
see eye to eye on the question of
aid to China. too. as being definitely
in this country's interest.

Help for Britain.

Many things suggest growing pub
lie sentiment for quicker and greater
American help for Britain. The
circumstance that both presidential
nominees favor maximum aid is one
of the straws showing how the wind
is blowing. Another is the steadily
mounting enthusiasm for the stub

F. d. r. and independents.

No phase of his campaign for a
third term makes a Gvelier appeal
to President Roosevelt than the or
ganization, under Norris-La Guardia
leadership. of the National Com
mittee of Independent Voters" The
decision of White House Tommie"
Corcoran TO devote himself to eXecu-
tive activities on the committees
behalf betokens New Dealers con-
Germ with the crusade to WOO the
independents. 1t has long been Mr.
Roosevelt's conviction, based on 80
years in politics, that the inde-
pendent vote is the thing that wins
or loses an election. In 1882. when
most political observers saw Demo-
cratic landslide taking shape, the
then Governor of New York unfail-
ingly warned his friends to keep an
eve peeled on the independent vote
to do no chicken-counting until
there was reliable indication which
ticket this incalculable element was
likely to support. Politicians figure
that about a fifth of the national
voting community can be reckoned
as independent, that is. having no
party moorings and inclined to cast
its ballots strictly on candidates
merits. Certain advance polls pro-
fess to show that. as of today. Roose-
welt independent strength is lower
than in 1896, but it is illogical al
ready to conclude that non-par-
tisans are sufficiently numerous to
foreshadow WILKES election.
