Mr.. Farley, who has agreed to
hold on to the chAirmanship of the
Democratic National Committee un-
til August Ito show the new
chairman the ropes-has never been
charged with ineptness. He has
been largely responsible for the
upbuilding of strong national Or
ganization. The regard the party
workers have for him was mani
fest again and again at the recent
Democratic National Convention in
Chicago, although he was candi-
date for the presidential nomina-
ton against the man for whom a
vast majority of the delegates had
been instructed to vote.
After eight years Mr.. Farley is
stepping but 1t is possible that the
President and Mr.. Farley's old
friends in the committee may
strongly urge him to change his
determination and hold on during
the coming campaign, which looks
tougher and tougher as the days
roll by.
Opposed to Third Term.
Mr.. Farley has been against a
third term nomination for the
President-on principle He went
so far as to make the protest at the
national convention, having his
name presented in opposition to that
Of President Roosevelt. He gave
the nod to Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia when that fiery veteran
asked if Mr.. Farley had any objec-
ton to his making ar anti-third
term speech. 1t would be a strange
thing, indeed, If now Mr. Farley
should agree to run a third term
campaign. So strange that his
friends say he will do no such thing.
That being the case, it is up to
the President to pick q new cam
paign manager. He can, If he
wishes, turn to the 100 per cent New
Dealer who acted as his personal
representative during the Chicago
convention, Secretary Of Commerce
Harry L. Hopkins. Such selection

1t would have on the national Or

In some quarters it has been sug-

must be succeeded in the chairman
ship by Catholic, and that Demo-
cratic Catholics have become more
or less disgruntled anyway. If that
is the case the President might turn

Berlin Predicts Balkan

Constantine Brown. pieces, eaten up
by a bug which cannot easily be
destroyed-politicianism.
The facts Of the French defeat
are coming out slowly. The French
nation was rotten at the top and in
different at the bottom.
Nobody really wanted to fight
for his country. The older men ap-
parently were more eager than the
youngsters. The latter had been
brought up with the idea that the
life and welfare of the individual
was far more important than the
late OF the country The state was
important inasmuch as it could
offer something either for Aunt
Emily or Uncle John. But the state
was not worth any sacrifice.
Politics Outweighed Defense.
1ndividualism was pushed to ex-
tremes; politics were more impor.
tant than national defense. When
man was running for office
nobody inquired into his merits as
citizen. The only question asked
OF him by his electorate was: What
can we get out of you?" And if he
could promise the moon and the
stars he was the idol of the COM
munity.
The Maginot Line itself was a huge
piece of graft. Many of the younger
officers argued that it was damaging
to the morale Of the country to edu-
cate 1t on the idea Of pure defense.
But there were too many interests
'steel and cement) involved to per-
init the voice Of such officers to be
heard. Furthermore, little could be
done with generation of youngsters
brought up in the idea that what
ever happened it would not be wise
to fight.
The school teachers meeting some
10 years ago had passed a resolution
agreeing that loyalty to the flag and
patriotism were to be taboo in the
classrooms of the grade schools. The
school teachers were voting people
and had plenty of relatives: hence
no steps were taken against them.
although they were all government
officials.
Easy Jom for Fifth Columnists.
The fifth columnists in France had
an easy job. Public officials are
poorly paid; they all had axes to
grind with various individuals in
high Office. They were more than
delighted to help along to defeat the
men they hated, little realizing that
they were also defeating themselves.
But individuality was too deeply in
grained in the people to make them
understand that when the country
suffers the individual is bound to
suffer too.
OF course, the population of France
will applaud loudly when heads of
men like Blum, Herriot and others
who have been in the limelight for
so many years fall into the guillotine
basket. 1t is a kind of popular
amusement which is enjoyed by the
masses in times of stress.
But one thing, unfortunately, can
not be Observation-Disclosures in
times OF severe national crises. And
that is what has brought about the
downfall Of the French nation.

Hidden Purposes Suspected.
Conscription will gain more ad-
herents when it is operated on a
truly selective principle and when
the sponsors OF such measures do
not throw a scare into the country
by asking for registration Of all
adults from 18 to IS in the face of
an unexplained need. 1t is the hid
den purpose and the unrevealed OBJ
jective which shake the confidence
of the people in their Government,
especially in times when the regi-
menting Of citizens under Govern
ment control is the basis for unfor-
tunate suspicious related to domestic
policies and legislation.
The CONSUMPTION bill probably will
go through Congress so as to regis
ter boys from 81 to 81, but promising
that relatively small number shall
be called. Yet the pressure for a
voluntary enlistment system based
on the selective principle is growing
every day. Nobody knows-because
1t hasn't been tried-just how many
troops could be secured by patriotic
drive and by permitting the boys
in the C. c. c. camps to volunteer at
the same rate of pay they are now
getting. 1t is just as easy to reject
those young men who should not
volunteer as it is to withhold accep-
tance of those who are drafted, but
who should be permitted to remain
at work in key industries.

Britain Reported Seeking

By the Associated Press.

oy tlc hSSQClAteQ PreSS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The New
York Daily News says that the Brit
ish Ministry of Aircraft Production
headed by Lord Beaverbrook, has
opened a drive to recruit American
flyers at $50 a week to ferry new
warplanes from British factories to
air fields of the Royal Air Force.
American flyers would be paid in
United States money, with no ex-
change discount, the paper, said,
with contracts running for the dura-
ton of the war.
The News said the British plan
calls for settlement of contracts on
a 12-month basis, II the war lasts
more than year. and provides
round-trip transportation for the
flyers and $500 bonus for each at
the end of his service.
American airmen so employed, the
News said, would be civilian en-
ployes of Great Britain, would not
wear uniforms, and would not lose
their American citizenship.
