HIS OWN
MAN NOW

II President Roosevelt comes up
TO his third term holding the broad
est powers ever given an American
president, and equipped with con-
gress which is likely to give him
good deal Of active cooperation.
he also comes up TO II very much
more his own man than he has
been before.
The president burned his bridges
behind him at Chicago. He insist
ed on Henry Wallace as his run
ming mate-an immensely signifi-
cant act, when the course OF the
New Deal is considered. BY that
act he served notice that he was
not going to compromise with the
members Of his own party whom
he regarded as lukewarm on the
New Deal.
He no longer has political debts
to the Garner group, for instance,
or to the mildly conservative crowd
aligned with James A. Farley.
He fought that all out at Chicago.
Nobody has piece OF the New
Deal now but FDR.
Note, too. that on the other side
Of the fence there is no longer an
alliance with the extreme leftists

Lewis is not especially 3 lettist,

REFORMS" WON'T
HINDER DEFENSE

HINDER DEFENSE
Cutting straight across the fu-
ture of the New Deal, of course,
is the war situation and the de-
Tense emergency.
As matter of practical politics.
If nothing else the president is
not likely to push any reforms"
in such way rs to interfere with
the needs of national defense. He
will, nevertheless be his own Judge
OF what does or does not interfere
with those needs. In sense, the
chief way In which the defense
program will modify the New Deal
program will be in the fact that It
will provide the avenue for most
Of the spending.
Whether the administration s
foreign policy will be appreeiably
modified as result of the cleo
ton is AN open question. Certainly
there WAS nothing in the campaign
or in the balloting to cause any
slackening in the aid to Britain
program.
The fact that the ardent wish
Of the nation TO remain at peace
was Enthusiastically expressed is
more important. Ii drew from the
president repeated insistenee that
he will keep the country AT peace.
Whether you can say that will
mean a toning down of his foreign
policy depends chiefly on whether
you feel his foreign policy to date
has been more warlike than was
consistent with desire to stay out
of war.
There is still another angle "a
the defense problem.
Men close to the president say
he is convinced that no defense
of democracy can be perfected I'M
less the overwhelming mass Of the
citizens have reason TO feel their
democracy is worth defending. In
other words. 10 his mind de-
Tense program lacks something
vital il there is not a continuing
and successful effort TO wipe out
unemployment. cut down poverty
raise living standards and increase
security.
That means the business of arm

II means that sucn measures as

the wage-hour law will be kept
without essential modification.
II means continuation OF the
New Deal farm program (although
the exact details Of that program
may BE changed in recognition of
the increased Republican vote in
the farm belt).
II means that such things as

powerful influence as, for exam

Lastly, what sort OF mental and
emotional attitude toward those
people who have fought him po-
litleally is the president likely to
take into his third term with him

sltion TO know what is in his mind

and that the presidential shoulder
is not going TO be carrying a chip.
The president is fully aware of
the need for national unity and
IT is probab BILE that such express
sions as economic royalist" will
be given rest.
Nevertheless, the president is
represented as feeling that the
need for national unity does not
require him TO modify his New
Deal program or to put into effect
the social or economic policies of
men he beat at the polls. He wants
harmony, but he feels that getting
II Is not entirely up TO him.
1t is perfectly possible that some
leading Republicans, either in or
out of active party politics, may
be given important posts in con-
neetion with the defense program.

Nayor Thomas E. Cooper yester
d.v received a letter from Senator
Josiah W. Bailey. author of a bill
IN appropriate $50, 900 for a study
of means of exploiting Latin Amer
lean markets for the benefit of
American tobacco growers, thank
ing him for his support of the bill.
The bill was introduced last week
bv Bailey after Cooper had suggest.
ed opening these markets to Ameri-
can trade as a means of off setting
the loss of British buyers by North
Carolina tobacco markets.
THANK you for your wire and Jet
me say your prompt commenda'
ton is very greatly appreciated"
Bailey wrote.
Since it appears that we may
lose both the British and French
markets for our tobacco, and have
already lost the German market,
it is in order that we shall seek to
develop the South American mar
ket. Perhaps We could hope to hold
that if once we got it established.
We buy a great deal of coffee from
Brazil and a great deal of fruit and
oil from Venezuela. OF course, we
could not hope to develop the South
American trade in a year. We must
make a beginning and my bill is in
tended to make that beginning as
promptly as possible.
Il am delighted to have your sup.
port and will appreciate it if you
will commend the bill to u peo-
pie"
