President Plans
I'd Thanksgiving
| At Warm Springs

President Roosevelt was making
tentative plans today for two orders
of Thanksgiving turkey-one for the
White House this week and another
for Warm Springs, Ga, November
27.
Mr.. Roosevelt had been planning
to be at the Georgia resort this
week, but late yesterday the White
House announced that pressing Off
cial affairs and head cold made it
imperative that the Chief Executive
remain here at least until next week.
But word arrived from the Warm
Springs Foundation that Thanks
giving would be postponed for a
week in the hope that Mr.. Roose-
welt would be there to preside at the
head table.
Georgia as a whole plans to OBJ
serve November q, anyway. Sixteen
States, of which Georgia is one,
have decided against celebrating
November 20.

casualties-for instance, the crews
lost in bombers through no fault OF
their own, but because the machines
are obsolete and can fly only 30
miles an hour.
The British Navy is more phleg-
matte than the British Army, but
it doesn't like its casualties any
better.
Russian Aid Has Wide Support.
Back of the armed forces-in the
popular dissatisfaction which ex-
presses itself in the aid-to-Russia
movements sizable slug of the
upper classes in England, These
are patriotic men and women who
are appalled, by the record of the
Tory party before the war and cam
not resign themselves to the idea
that it finally makes sense. This
opposition from the best people
shows up in the extraordinarily
broad sponsorship OF aid-to-Russla
movements. In London you may
hear a man damn Communism, sniff
at Russians as foreigners-and then
pound the table for all-Out aid to
Russia.
Opposition from Labor starts with
its traditional mistrust of the Con-
servatives. but it is compounded
of other things. British workmen
are anything but Communistic, but
they do think of Russia as a coun-
try with working people and they
associate themselves with the Rus
slams on this ground. The army
and the upper classes have no in
terest in Russia except as factor
in bringing about the defeat OF thell
enemies. The working class feels g
real kinship with the Russians.
1t is the combination >of these
opposition forces-labor. army anc
segment of the upper classes
that gives the movement its great
drive, makes it the only really Sc
riouS threat to the Churchill cabi.
net since he took over. The best
informed men l talked to in Lon
don felt that if the movement con-
tinued to grow it would upset thai
cabinet. A really conclusive anc
identifiable Russian defeat woulc
bring about an instantaneous up
set.
No Requirements.
The only explanation the British
can give is that they have no mer
with whom to replace the oustee
| Tories. To back up this amazing
statement they say that the Tory
party has the only able politicians IL
the country. They shrug theil
shoulders at the mention of tht
Labor party They regard Bevir
as Tory captive.

of heIplessness was responsible fo
much of the ugly undertone TO thu

I was anything but crazy to propose
him. 1t simply would not do. There
must be 100 men in England as
sound and able as this man. But
we got Lord Halifax just the same.
Churchill ImpHgnable.
With all this talk of the possibility
of the aid to-Russia movement un-
seating the Churchill cabinet, what
about Churchill himself?
Perhaps the most significant fact
of all is that none of this opposition
is directed at him. His position is
absolutely mistaken He is criticized
freely for many things-particularly
for keeping in his government men
whom he had once denounced-but
it is friendly, and on-his-side kind
of criticism. II they want to change
his cabinet for him, it is to save
him from his own faults, from his
tendency to let party loyalty in
f1uence him against his better judg-
ment. They would not replace
Churchill-God forbid-they would
simply replace his helpers.
AS they did last year. the British
want Churchill for their Prime
Minister for the duration of the war.
They feel he is indispensable-as an
uncompromising fighter and a man
of heart and as an articulator of
what they feel They are very proud
