Constantine Brown. ent is the White
House. It is pointed out that when
ever conditions reach a breaking
point. the President appeals to the
would-be belligerents not to spread
the zone of conflict.
This time the appeal was made
direct to Mussolini-the man who
contributed to this maintenance of
peace in october, 1898, and did his
best to prevent the invasion of Po-
land.
This time Mussolini himself is
involved and he was approached by
Ambassador Phillips in Rome to be
asked for the sake of civilization to
avoid extension of the conflict.
1t is believed in responsible diplo-
matte quarters that the approach to
Mussolini was made after the allied
governments - especially Britain -
sounded the alarm in Washington
This alarm already was noticeable
three weeks ago when the Italian
fleet was concentrated in the Medi-
terranean.
But, it is pointed out, concentra-
tions of armies or navies do not nee
essarily mean war. They may mean
bluff, pressure or blackmail. There
were indications from well-informed
sources in Italy that Mussolini had
not yet decided whether he wanted
to become belligerent and that the
Italian people in general were op-
posed to another warlike adventure
with doubtful consequences.
But the ~'arm gong sounded BY
the British made an impression. The
British and the French have a re-
markable fine intelligence service in
Italy and 1t was on the basis of
these reliable reports that the allied
governments were able to inform
Washington that serious danger Of
war existed in the Mediterranean
and that they would take every con-
celvable precautionary measure not
to be caught unawares. The first
two measures taken were the order
to British ships to avoid the Mediter-
ranean and to take the much longer
Cape of Good Hope route to Britain,
and the second within three days
was the dispatch of powerful allied
fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean
There are quite few optimists
who believe the combination of the
two factors-President Roosevelts
friendly Intervention in Rome and
the show of force on the part of the
allies-might still avert q catas-
trophe in the Mediterranean. But
on the whole it is admitted that the
situation in that section of Europe
is more strained than ever before
and the chances of preserving peace
have become extremely slim.

whether he will fight third-term
nomination-or that he will support
tin advance of a decision in this
matter by the President.
The third-term boomers would
like very much to know what the
Postmaster General and chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee-not to mention chairman Of
the Democratic State Committee of
New York-is going to do if and
when the President says he will run
again. There is reason to believe
they do not discount Mr.. Farley's
very real influence with the leaders
of the Democratic organization in
many Of the States.
Furthermore, if Mr.. Farley should
say fatty he was opposed to a third
term nomination for Mr.. Roosevelt
or any other man, after Mr.. Roose-
welt had declared himself in the
race again, and if Vice President
Garner should take similar stand
what a situation would be pre-
sented to the Democratic party.
The President would find himself
in opposition to the men who did
most for his first nomination-in
1882. The one had labored for
months and months to build up a
Roosevelt bloc of delegates at the
Democratic National Convention.
The other, at the critical moment,
threw in his own cards and turned
his delegates loose to vote for the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt. Even
if he rode roughshod over these
men and their friends-the bitter
ness resulting might be disastrous.
So there is good reason for the
New Deal third termers to consider
carefully what may be the final
attitude of Messrs. Farley and
Garner.
Advantage With Farley.
In this waiting game the ad-
vantage is with Mr.. Farley rather
than the President and his followers.
There seems no way for them to pry
Mr.. Farley loose. If they 60 to him
and say, for example, Jim, are you
with or against us?" they must show
their hand-and Mr.. Roosevelts S
silence will have been broken.
Mr.. Farley has done no more
than to say his name will go before
the Democratic National Conven-
ton as a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination. He has inti-
mated it will be presented whether
the Presidents also is laid before
the convention or not. But he has
not said he will fight a third-term
nomination of the President. 1t
would be far easier for the New
Dealers backing the third-term
nomination if Mr. Farley would an
nounce now his final position.
Cynical prediction has been made
by at least one outstanding Repub-
lican that when the showdown
comes the Democratic ticket will
again be Roosevelt and Garner, and
that Mr.. Farley will be the CAM
paign manager. Anything, in his
opinion, the Democrats can do to
remain in Office will be done, even
to such combination again.
Mr.. Farley and Mr.. Garner have
