American people, if the Roosevelt
administration falls down in its pre-
paredneSS program, that the Re-
publicans win a victory at the polls
next November?
With two major political parties
watching each other as closely as
a cat watches a mouse, or vice versa. a.
there is an unWillingness to take
any Step-even for national defense
which might be unpopular with
groups of voters. In the minds of
political leaders in both parties
there is a fear that any plan for
universal military training. for ex-
ample, would be diStaSteful to Or
ganized labor and to the various
peace groups in the country-like
waving red flag before bull. This
question whether the country needs
universal military training for its
defense and for strengthening
American manhood.
False Sense of Security.
Does any one doubt that if the
United States should become in
Volved in war one of the first things
done would be to adopt compulsory
military service, conScriptior. the
draft or what YOU choose to name
it? The answer. of course. is that
the plan would be adopted imme-
diately if we were in conflict with
flrst-clasS power - just as We
adopted it when we entered the
World War in 1917.
There are two schools OF thought
in the country One holds that if
and when Germany wins her war
against France and Great Britain.
she will move against America
which will be about the only part
of the earth left where real riches
remain TO be garnered. The other
poOh-poohs the idea that GERMANY
will either desire to attack America
or that she will be able 10 make
such an attack. Hitler is now quoted
as saying he has no intention what
ever Of reaching out for control in
this hemisphere And he says
America should keep out of Europe.
Propaganda has its uses, and Mr..
Hitler knows how to propagandize.
The danger is tnat. for one rea-
son or another, the United States
will be lulled into a sense of Sc
curity before it has really built up
its defenses.

long Republicans, though in 1928
they nominated Herbert Hoover,
who, in 1918, joined in President
Wilson'S appeal for a Democratic
Congress and was represented at the
time as not knowing whether he

Democrat.
Party tradition seems to have gone
by the boards in both parties. for
Secretaries Ickes and Wallace, who
were once Republicans have been
serving in the New Deal cabinet for
more than seven years. If Wendell
Willkie should receive the Republi-

a Democrat before and even went
as a delegate to Democratic national
conventions may help him to break
the solid South The Democrats in
the South might consider it hardly
any more of breaking of party
lines for them to vote for a former
Democrat than for the Republicans
to name one who had not been iden-
titled with the party prior to 1886.

emergency, why is it not the thing
to have on tap all the time? And
why would it not be the kind of
insurance which this country needs
against attack?
Some Of the political leaders fear
that universal military training, if
espoused, would ALLEVIATE votes of Or
ganized labor. It's true that some
Of the labor leaders are opposed to
the principle of universal and COM
pulsory military training and serv-
ice, in time of peace. although they
went along with it in time of war.
Their argument is that the people
OF America came to this country to
escape compulsory military service;
that it is antagonistic to American
ideals and freedom Some of them
did come here for tnat purpose-to
escape compulsory service. But they
came here for civil liberty, too

due primarily, of course, to the fact
that he has the intellectual capacity
and intellectual honesty to COM
mand the respect of millions of
voters, but it is also due to strange
quirk in American politics wherein
every once in awhile the amateurs
get into the fray and beat the pro-
fessionals.
The old line politicians had their
candidates already selected. The
idea of nominating Willkie had been
brushed aside by them as impossi-
bic. Why" they said, 'he can't be
nominated, for he hasn't been a
candidate for anything and he won't

AS far back as November, 1898,
this correspondent called attention
to Mr.. Wilkes handling of matters
before congressional committees and
said he ought to have been a Sen
ator or Governor because he had
flair for public life. In those days
nobody dreamed that Willkie might
be mentioned for the presidency, as
indeed he was first suggested by
Arthur Krock, Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Times, on
February %, 1899, and subsequently,
in these dispatches on May %. 1889
by this correspondent References of
this kind, however, were regarded at
the time as hardly more than a
passing comment on WILKES ex-
traordinary ability to deal with pub
lie questions forthrightly. They
were not taken seriously by any
politicians, and least of all by Willkie
himself, who smilingly pooh-poohed
the whole thing.

ton on the part of many people that
the next President ought to be a
man who understands the economic

make the Nation function effectively
in manufacturing war weapons and
removing unemployment. Willkie
is the only one of the candidates
now being mentioned for the Re-
publican nomination who saw serv-
ice overseas in the last war.
What is most surprising about the
Willkie boom, really, is not that a
man of ability should be recognized
by popular sentiment, but that the

constantine brown. figures are nee
essary. The German air superiority
is such that the French must bring
down five NaZi planes for every
French plane to obtain parity: they
have to kill three German soldiers
for each Frenchman to achieve the
same purpose, and two and one-haf
German tanks must be destroyed for
each French tank.
Germans Have Reserves.
The Germans have suffered tre-
mendous losses. but they have fresh
reserves to throw into the battle.
The French have none. They are
fighting heavy rear-gEard battle
with practically no assistance from
any quarter.
This, in few lines, is the mill
tary aspect.
The richest and most populous
part Of France has been invaded.
According to conservative estimates
there are at least 100000 refugees
gathered south of the Loire River.
These people are homeless and pen
niless. They have to be housed and
fed in a section which is not capable
of taking care of more than its nor
NAL population.
Food is scarce The French loaned
the British last winter some 5O,O0O.-
900 tons of wheat, thinking the
bumper crops of Morocco and Algiers
would be coming normally into
France this summer. Now it is al
most impossible to get anything
across the Mediterranean and very
little can be brought through the
Atlantic from Casablanca and other
ports on the West Coast Of Africa.
Morale Needs Bolstering.
The army is tired, but not de-
feated. 1t is fighting day and night
and does not feel the lack of food
as much as the idle civilians who
hear only bad news The soldiers at
the front or in the rear are busy
hghting or getting ready to fight.
Their minds are set on defeating the
enemy. The frame Of mind among
civilians and the millions of women
and children whose husbands and
fathers are at the front is different.
Hence, unless the morale of the
civilian population can be bolstered
by some unpredictable development
such as the news CT real and i'm
mediate, efficient help from the
United States-it is possible that the
French government might be forced
! to fold up and sue Tor peace.
The messages from London that
soldiers would be pouring into
France in larger numbers have not
had the desired effect. The French
are skeptical about Britain's ability
to help them out Immediately. They
know that during the trying days
since the end of the battle of Flan-
ders not more than a handful of
British has fought on their side.
