q means of focusing attention On
the unfairness of the governmental
tribunals. For there can be no as
surance now that the Supreme Court
will hold the scales even between
arbitrary government and the sys-
tenn of free enterprise In America
The only redress the citizen has left
is to Congress, which now must write
every law so explicitly and enume-
rate its restrictions so clearly that
arbitrary government will itself be
checked by the action of the people,
representatives in the national
Legislature.
1t is significant, incidentally, that
in San FranSisco tins week Judge
Denman, appointed 70 the Circuit
Court of Appeals by President Roose-
velt and a liberal justice, has called
attention to the administrative alb
solutism" of the National Labor Re-
lations Board.
The whole tendency of the Su-
preme Court decisions this year has
been to let Government do as it
pleases, but to make the citizen
constantly subject to harassment by
government. The Sherman anti
trust law is being interpreted now
to mean that businessmen cannot
venture to live with their competi-
tors at all on any basis, but must
engage in constant war which often
means ruinous competition and un-
employment.

Constantine Brown. believes that the
people of the Netherlands have been
duly impressed by the German inva-
sion of Norway and the inability of
the allies to oust them from that
country. Hence. Berlin says, the pro-
Nazi party which had been cowed
in Holland during the last few
months is gaining strength In spite
Of the energetic measures taken by
The Hague government to suppress
the Nazi synpathizers. Hitler and
his military and political advisers
are reported to be convinced that
Holland will be pushover for the
German Army although the allies
are In much better position to res
cue Holland than has been the case
In Norway.
Reports from Europe further in
dicate that in order to create a di-
version Germany will begin opera
tions in Southeastern Europe and
that Mussolini is determined to en-
ter the scene Of war at the same
time the Germans begin their third
actlOn IN Europe.
The objectives of the italian die
tator are unknown. A number of
military observers believe that he
would rather attempt to strike at
the French and British power in
Africa by attacking Egypt and Tun-
1sia from the air rather than to
tackle Greece or Yugoslavia. An at
tack on Egypt would draw immedi-
ately Gen. Weygand's army to the
defense of the Suez Canal while
French forces in Tunisia are bound
70 retanate by attacking Tripoli. This
would leave the Balkans undefended
against any operations the Ger
mans and the Russians and, even.
tually the Italians, might desire to
undertake in that southeastern sec-
ton of Europe.
In RESPONSIBLE quarters 1t is feared
that a German attack against Hol-
land, regardless as to how 1t will
develop, might invite japanese ac-
tions against the Dutch East Indies
and thus the war might spread in
the Pacific.
The decision to maintain the
United States feet in Hawaii is
considered as a clear indication as
to how this government regards the
international situation.
Heretofore Washington was most
cautious not to offend Toxic. Re-
Gently the American official heart
has become detenderized and the
feelings of the Japanese leaders
frequently have been overlooked.
For the time being the mainte-
nance OF the fleet at Pearl Harbor
is nothing but gesture and an i'm
fermentation of the warnings given
Toxic by Secretary Hull few weeks
ago. But, it is hoped that Toxic will
realize that behind that warning
lies a decision not to permit any
change in the status quo Of the
Southern Pacific.

Pres d mt will G. Gould Lincoln.
have Texas delegation of 46 at the
Democratic National Convention.
On the other hand, the third-term-
ers will have California's delegation
of 44-or AZ at least, since the ticket
headed by Gov. Olson was not COM
plete.
The result in the California pri-
mary was expected-particularly in
view of certain recent happenings.
One of these was the so-called "ac-
cord" reached between the third
termers and the Garnerites in Texas,
whereby Mr.. Garner was to have an
instructed delegation to work for
his nomination at the national con-
vention but the Garner people an
nounced they were not engaged in
a stop Roosevelt" movement. The
Interpretation put on this accord"
outside of Texas was that the Gar
ner people had capitulated. 1t
threw cold water on the efforts of
the Garner managers IN California,
Of course. Next, it is reported, the
support Of the c. I. o. and John
L. Lewis for some reason appeared
to shift within few days to the
Roosevelt side.
1t has been apparent for long
time that any Democratic candi-
date for the presidential nomination
engaged in a primary election con-
test against President Roosevelt had
not ghost of show. Considering
the vast powers of the President,
his popularity, and the fact he has
been looked upon as a Santa Claus
by millions of voters. this is not
strange. The Presidents defeat of
Mr.. Garner-in every State except
Texas-where the two have clashed
is pretty good evidence.
Third Term Issue Not Settled.
There is no doubt that the third
termers are in a position to renomi-
nate the President. They have per-
suaded many of the Democratic
leaders In many of the States that
they must have Roosevelt to win
and some Of them did not need
much persuading.
However, the third termers have
by no means settled the third term
issue-and to what extent 1t will
operate against President Roose-
welt If he Is renominated. Indeed
the votes cast In Democratic pri-
maries against the President and
for Mr.. Garner in most cases have
been anti-third term votes-by
Democrats. Mr.. Garner's campaigns
in Wisconsin, Illinois. ETC., were
based on the third term issue.
Nor do the third termers know
surely yet just how Postmaster

Democratic National Committees
