WOULD DELAY VICTORY

Had South Carolinians named
Judge Blease to the senate, il
Louisianians had selected E. A.
Stephens to the senate, Or had
Georgians reelected Governor Eu-
gene Talmadge, the day of inevi-
table victory for the United Ma
tons would have been delayed that
much longer.
For all three of these men,
based their appeals for positions
of leadership on the same plat
form of arrogance, big0try
and racial oppression that con-
trasts the Hitler way Of dealing
with the masses of people as
compared to that Of the demo-
cratic way.
No matter how loudly they may
have proclaimed their desire to
support the nations war effort,
their very actions in fomenting ra-
cial strife and disunity, proved
their insinceritys their base demag.

Nazi-like racial issues, gave them
credit for being.
That those who stopped to the
all-time low of playing the Axis
game of pitting race against race,
class against class at a time when
national unity and singleness OF
purpose was of paramount impor-
lance, were roundly rebuked was
indeed a major victory for our
side.

eLAST MINUTE PRE-ELECTION DOPE Democrats Hold Wild Joker Tn Elections

fornia, accounting for four of the new congressional seats, are Pacific coast states with a 50-50 chance to go either Republican or Democratic, so cancel them out. The other five states, however. are southern states and unless some awfully funny things that no one has heard about have been going on in the solid Democratic south. reapportionment gives the Democrats e probably gain of i've seats, automatically.
 Combine the figures from both tables. and what do you get? The northern and presumably Republi- can states lose seats net, while the southern and presumably Demo- cratic states gain five. Add those and it gives the Republicans a ham dicap of i3 seats in the next Con- gress, or it gives the Democrats an advantage of l3 seats.
 PICTURE CHANGES
 The House as constituted for the present session Of Congress is 262 Democrats, l66 Republicans, mis- cellaneous and vacant seats. To overcome the Democratic lead under the old apportionment, 1t would have been necessary for the Repub- licans to win 48 more seats, which would have tied up the House at 2i4 Republicans and 2i4 Democrats. possibility which no political doOesterS foresaw
 With reapportionment. however. the effect has been to make it nec- essary for the Republicans to win 6l seats to be even Stephen.
 But prediction polls gave the Republicans a chance to win only from 20 to 30 more seats in the House. Take the more optimistic figure of 30 The reapportionment of B districts hase the effect of cut ting down any such gain to a mere IT. Take the figure of 20 The Re- publicans could win 20 election con- tests and still have a net gain of only '. while any Republican gain of B seats or less in election con- tests would have the effect of giving the Democrats greater majority in the House than they now have.

TABLES TURNED

If you will take a close look at that table. it win show some inter- esting facts. Tn the first place every one of those states except Oklaho- ma is a northern state and a state which used to be considered nor mally Republican. If it is true that this is a year in which the trend is favorable to the Republicans, then this reapportionment has the effect of depriving the c. o. P. of eight seats in the next Congress right of the bat. For every one of these loss es, the c. O. P must win two elec- ton contests, just to hold its own.
 Now take a look st the states which gain seat in Congress by reapportionment.

On the
Business
Front
, BY WARD SCHULTZ
,setroit Times Financial Editor

My good friend Glenn Cum
mings, Detroit bureau manager oi
the Wall Street Journal, analyzed
the Detroit war effort and came
to conclusions somewhat parallel
to those expressed by this column
last week.
Glenn says that the city Is SUI.
fering from the revelation that
there aren't any miracles IN In.
dustrial production and mighty
few supermen.
One point he makes Is vel
worth keeping tucked away ir
the back Of your mind when you
read I'm the daily headlines oi
wildcat strikes and unauthorized
walkouts. Here 1t Is:
"Realists In management and
labor circles, In the army and
navy and tho WPB, realize that
DetroIt's task cant be accom-
plished without growing pains.
"Tompers, they know. grow
short when men work long
hours. Newly trained supervis-
ory employees make mistakes
that cause grumbling; morale
and efficiency suffer when tho
workers think that Some ono
above them n ftimblink tho ball.
Inadequate housing and faulty
transportation also become inn
portant factors.
another factor n the wide-
spread belief that corporations
are growing rich of the war
effort; and the management's
knowledge that this just Ia
not so."
Keep those things In mind and
be slow to condemn.
