F. RS DILEMMA AS
SEEN BY w. A. WHITE
(Oroville Mercury-R -RegiSter)

Finally we've found someone Who
agrees with us that Nh Roosevelt would
be a miserable man for four years II he
allowed himself to be nominated tor
third term and were reelected. The one
in agreement is no other than William
Allen White the Kansas county editor.
If he should be reelected it would be
after bitter fight. writes the Kansas
editor. 4 royal victory like that of 1896
would not be given him this time. He
would face a division of his party and Il
serious loss Of popularity among the IN
dependent voters. He would not be able,
the kanSan goes ON, to overcome the
odium Of third term and prevent Re
publican House of Representatives. and
he would face a Democratic Senate con-
tanning only liberal minority with the
Republicans and conservative Democrats
composing a definite working majority.
so that he would be poWerleSS in Con-
greSS.
There he would sit for years brand

able to move Congress; greatly diScredit-
ed in his own party and inevitably some
what weakened in his hold upon the coun-
try
Then White goes ON to picture what
tvDe of leader he could make of himself
if he firmly renounced any third-term
ambitions and refused to be Il candidate
If he should make the great renuncia-
ton in brutally frank terms surge of
popularity would greet him that would
strengthen his leadership and make him
our first private citizen.
He writes that outside the White House,
as a great liberal. he could call to his
banner other liberals of both parties As
Il private citizen who had proved he had
no selfish purpose he would be "a mighty
warrior for the cause he loves.
Balance those two situations, :t5 Mr..
White has done so convincingly, and it
will be seen that a sensible man IN Mr..
RooseveltS present position would turn
down all thoughts of Il third term, much
prefering popularity and continued in
fluence to discredit and futility. We are
betting that Mr. Roosevelt is that SEN
sible, while admitting that he has plenty
of bona fide reasons for keeping silent for

no stake" To the extent that the
listener is miserable, and has no
stake, this has been effective 1t is
reflected in a growing movement
for peace compromise, settlement,
and it is disturbing to British aG-
thority.
The Germans have baited their
broadcasts with personal messages
from British prisoners, who are put
on the air to assure British rela-
tives that they are all right. What
British family. knowing that in this
way they may get first word of
loved ones safety, will fail to listen
in on the German stations?
1t is hard, and there is no place
to put ones faith in such a con-
flict but in the old certainty that
truth will eventually prevail.

Election of Gavin as clerk and Soper

are demanding - new faces in official
positions, and good administrators who
are not obligated to any person, group
or faction.
For this reason, and because we be-

WASHINGTON One by one, the
the green lights for the Justice De-
partmentS big antitrust campaign.
To put ii another way: recent
court decisions have enormously en-
larged the field in which the anti
trust laws can be used to break
down barriers against lower prices
Here is how the court has done this
job:
!. By reinstating the Chicago
milk indictments, the court in effect
ruled that agriculture was not eX-
tmpt from the Sherman act and
that a remedy for fixed food prices
was available.
Q By rcinStating the medical as
SOclatiOn case in Washington. the
court held that the learned profess
sonS were not outside the laws
scope
3. Most recently. in the Ethyl
gasoline case, the court ruled that
patents may not be used to extend
a monopoly or to fix prices.
TWO KEY PHASES
AWAIT RULINGS
Significance of these rulings goes
far beyond the three specific cases
involved. In substance. they mean
that Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold is being upheld all
along the line in his claim that in
the antitrust laws the government
possesses ample power to keep price
structures fluid and to cope with any
and all restrictive developments.
Two more key points are yet to
be passed on. These involve, first,

CANADA'SF FUTURE
STUDIED BY U. S.
British Government May
Move To Dominion If Hit
Ter Wins In Europe

WASHINGTON, June 6.-LR-One
of the greatest problems in American
history is thrust before the United
States by the possibility that the
British government, if Hitler wins,
may move to Canada and continue
the fight against Germany from
there.
Officials have been bordering it
for some time, especially since Hit
ler's conquest of Flanders and the
threats of invasion of the British
Isles. Prime Minister Churchill's
statement this week that Britain
would continue to fight from the en-
pire overseas if ousted from the
British Isles strengthened their be-
lief that such a possibility existed.
1t also confirmed them in reluc-
lance to believe that Britain might
surrender her fleet in case of defeat
to escape wholesale air bombing Of
the British Isles.
Officials here regard Canada as the

mo great nation has ever beer

Erwin said.
In speaking of what u civiliza'

past.
From Egypt has come the sciences

Conspicuous by their absence from
the meeting were young men of Will

formed here and Of subsequent Ell
forts to get the organization under
way, including the calling of the
meeting held this afternoon.
He read a resolution passed by the
New York unit of the organization
which pointed out that the secur1-
ty of the United States is threatened
bv the war abroad, that the outcome
of the war will affect the lives OF
generations to come in America, n
that the Allies must win if democra-
CIV is to be saved. The resolution ne
read also urged congress to make
available to the Allies as many
planes as possible without weaken
ing the national defense program
that 500, oo0, 900 be made available
