The Greet Come of Politics
WiIIkie May Find Purge Of IsoIotionists
To Be, as in Other Attempts, Boomerang

sought to l1Quidate successful In the
primaries but, in all probability, at
least one of them would have been
defeated had the President kept
out of his State and left him to
the voters there. In his effort to
destroy these men Mr.. Roosevelt
again demonstrated the soundness
of two often-tested political axioms.
The first is that no man can deliver
his personal following to some one
else in an election in which he is
not running. Machine strength can
be delivered, but not personal
strength. The second is that there
always is resentment among the
voters of State when an outsider
undertakes to tell them what they
should or should not do in one of
their own local elections. Invariably
the reaction is against the candidate
or cause thus indorsed. This has
been proved over and over again
AS the earliest Republican pri-
marleS are scarcely six months off,
it seems timely to remind Mr.. Will
kie of these things 1t might also be
of use to point out that while his
Endorsement of the Roosevelt foreign
policy is greatly to his credit and
has earned him lot of we'll
deserved praise, it has not endeared
him to the politicians of the party
of which he is the titular leader.
Strangely enough, he is not popular
today even with those Republicans
who agree with him on the foreign
issue.
Functions Weakly.
1t seems likely that Mr.. Willkie
would have commended himself to
more party people had he dis
tinguished more clearly between
support of Mr.. Roosevelt and sup
port of Mr.. Roosevelt's policy, which
is easy to do. Also if he had been a
little firmer and clearer in pointing
out the inexcusable incompetency
of the defense organization.
Support of the administration on
foreign policy would have vastly en-
hanced his effectiveness along this
line. And he could have rendered
valuable service in the one direction
fully equal to that he has rendered
tho har Pfrt
functioned weakly in this field. He
has been right in pointing out the
mistake of the Republican party in
leaning to the isolation side, but he
has failed to furnish the kind of
leadership which would have helped
his party supply really construc-
tive opposition.
He has by no means utilized his
chance to focus attention upon the
administration sins of omission and
commission being committed here
in the name of defense For ex-
ample, little has been heard from
him concerning the craven yielding

the shocking waste and confusion
which has characterized the job
from the start, nor of the neglect to
do the obvious things to avert a
ruinous imitation.
The Republican party has stupidity
missed great opportunity by array
ing itself against the Roosevelt for
eign policy, which is approved by 80
per cent of the people But Mr.
Willkie, too, has muffed his oppor-
tunity to measure up to his titular
leadership by failing to make the
sort of attack for which the occa-
sion called and which was expected
of him. The net result is that among
Republican leaders today he has
more enemies than friends.

Some of the highest officials In
Washington are voicing concern
and anxiety over the increasing
flood of foreign propaganda to
which the American people are
being subjected from all direc-
tions.
These officials believe that
American sources of information
here and abroad are giving our
citizens an accurate picture of
the why's and wherefores of our
attitude in the present war. Un-
like the state of affairs in 1917,
we have graduated from the
grade school stage of internation-
al affairs and no longer need the
help of foreign sources-regard-
less of how close they may be to
our interests-to tell us "all about
it."
German, Italian and Japanese
propaganda methods have long
been familiar. But the first two

common plan of strategy to off,
set and counterbalance the Axis.
This was the first political and
diplomatic failure. 1t resulted in
abandoning existing alliances, in
the hope that Hitler would strike
somebody else; each, separately,
hoped to escape.
Instead of flying together the
threatened nations flew apart.
France, Britain and Russia broke
their alliance over Czecho-
Slovakia; France broke her al
lance with Britain in the face of
Hitler'S advancing armies and
abandoned the war with all her
colonies and her colonial army
and fleet still intact; Russia kept
aloof from the war, only to be
attacked after Hitler's armies
were safe from attack by France.
Hitler has never had a two
front war, and to call the r. A. F.
attacks on the German industrial
centerS a war in the west is
blind, silly optimism. Had Brit
ain, France, Russia and the
United States all entered the war
together at the time of the Ger
man attack on Poland, and en-
tered it actively, Hitler would
really have had a three-front
war; and had it been absolutely
certain that they would do so,
there would have been no war at
all.
Wants Us Neutral, Now.
Hitler, following a policy
which has been successful else
where, wants nothing WhatSo-
ever from the United States at
this moment, except neutrality.

the United States at present is

100 per cent American" and
anti-British. Making us pro-
Nazi will come later, and will be
easy, when there is nothing else
left for us to be.
The inadequacy Of all the de-
mocracies in the moral field was
glaring until the rising of the
people of Britain in the summer
Of 1910. 1t is glaring in America
today.
When Britain decided to con-
tinue the war, after the retreat
from Dunkerque, she took one
Of the most heroic steps in human
history. For Britain had not
saved her army" at Dunkerque.
She had saved her men.
An army is men and equipment
and Britains entire equipment
was left behind in France. She
had navy and a wholly made
quate air force. But she knew
that the campaign in the west
had created an Oil shortage in
the reich and that Hitler would
have to gather up his loot before
he could strike in a major cam
paign again. So Britain took ad-
vantage of time in a really great
way and by taking advantage of
it gave us time, too.
Let Respite Slip.

year and a half of time?

enough. When Hitler attacked

far as the press is concerned.
The propaganda organizations of
these nations are attempting at
present to support individuals
sympathetic with their cause
rather than to distribute news"
direct from the Reich or Italy.
Most of the pamphlets issued by
these agencies deal principally
with racial menaces to the peo-
pie of the United States. The
main activity of the agencies,
however, is aimed at indirect sup
port of all groups who oppose
United States intervention in the
war-or even efforts to ward off
a future one.

On the other hand, Axis propa-
ganda is considered dangerous
and obnoxious. And since it
comes from potential enemies
nations with whom we may soon
be at war-the people of the

What worries many high Gov

of propaganda coming from our

opposite effect from the one its
authors intended.

Pitcher, Beats Dewitt, 4-3

Pitching the first game of his life
with all the poise of a veteran, Jim
Bottomley hurled his National
Training School nine to a surprise
4-3 conquest of Dewitt yesterday
despite the fact that his per-
formance was shaded slightly by his
mound rival, Walter Hess.
Only twice in the seven-inning
game was Dewitt able to get as many
as two of their ultimate seven hits,
but the winners, on the other hand,
were held hitless in four of their
six turns at bat and made only four
altogether. Bottomleys control was
perfect, not Dewitt batter walking,
and he struck out five.
Dewitt jumped into a tWo-run
lead in the third when Phil DeliSi,
the only man to make two hits,
tripled to score Lee Rinaldi and
came home himself when Third

All Good Golfers Alike
In Swing, Claims
Horton Smith
Debate on Hitting Form
Appears Unreasonable
To Master of Come

If there's one thing that splits
the hackers and the experts of golf
apart, it's the endless discussion
about the fundamentals and the
fine points of the golf swing. That
same discussion has been going on
since the first Scottish shepherd
golfer whacked a stone into hole
in a Caledonian hillside and his
opponent yelled the equivalent of
"You lucky stiff; you did it, but was
it form?"
Latest effusion on the sizzling
argument comes from the pen of
Horton Smith, who says despite
their differences on details all the
experts agree on the fundamentals.
It all comes out of the wordy scrap
among Alex Morrison, Grantland
Rice and Tommy Armour last sum-
mer.
Many Methods Successful.
Horton, one of the advanced
thinkers of golf, rushes to print
with a conciliatory yarn on the
newsstands now setting forth that
all successful linksmen use the same
theories and hit the ball substan-
TALLY the same way. AS if it made
any difference whether Babe Ruth
used a closed stance to hit three
score home runs in a year or whether
Jimmy FoxX might not have erased
Ruth's mark by adopting the over
tapping grip on his 44-ounce war
club.
Successful results III golf may be
obtained, according to Leo Walper,
by any one of a dozen methods. "A
golf ball is hit in a dozen inches" 4"
says the former Middle Atlantic P.
G.. A. champ. 'Of course, many
things in the swing lead up to this
successful dozen inches, such as
proper grip, proper stance, the right
backswing and so on.
Argument to Go on Forever.
Il suppose golfers will be arguing
these points up to doomsday, but
it all resolves itself into the funda-
mentals. And all teachers agree on
those fundamentals"
The roll your feet and keep your
chin back" school, according TO Hor-
ton Smith, is describing one of the
fundamentals in slightly different
manner than the Armour school,
which declares that golf is played
from "inside" the feet, whatever
that may mean.
