MEXICO CITY, May 28.-Con-

reasons for asking the power to
declare war on Germany, Italy

The formal declarations, the first

Germany had refused to accept a

of a Mexican tanker.

The Great Game of Politics
President Too Busy to Bother With Politics
But He Tukes Hond in New York Election Fioht

For example, last week at his press
conference, Mr.. Roosevelt testify
rebuked a reporter who asked If
he were going to make a statement
for the White House candidate, Sem
ator Mead. He declared that the
newspaper accounts Of his activi-
ties were fool stories" and that he
was "too busy being President to
bother with politics"
String Of Politicians.
Not man who heard him took
those remarks seriously. Not man
who heard him but knew that in
the last few weeks he had brought
to the White House string of New
York politicians including Mike"
Kennedy, the Tammany leader;
Luigi Antonini and Alex Rose OF
the American Labor Party, Senator
Wagner, Gov. Lehman and Eddie"
Paving Blocks Flynn. With all
these he talked New York politics.
Most of them openly said so when
they left the White House. All of
them are now opposed to Mr.. Ben
nett, but without Mr.. Roosevelt's
support they would be Intellectual
and Mr.. Farley's candidate would
win easily.
He may win anyhow, but II he
does 1t will be over Mr.. Roosevelt's
opposition and everybody In politics
knows it. There is hardly a news
paper In New York that has not
stated that this is contest between
the President and Mr.. Farley for the
1914 delegation control. There is not
a politician who does not know it.
In face of all this Mr.. Roosevelt says
he is too busy to bother with poll
tics and that stories which state the
facts are fool stories" He does not,
of course. expect the reporters or the
politicians to believe this, but ap-
parently he does expect the Amer
ican people to believe 1t and that
seems to assume that they are either
uninformed or unintelligent or both.

President Roosevelt's appoint
ment Of Admiral william D.
Leahy as his chief of staff has
been the subject Of . good deal
of speculation. discussion and
Interpretation, some Of 1t de-
cidedly misguided.
In some speculations Admiral
Leahy is described as the man
who henceforth will run the war
single-handed, under the cloak
Of the authority Of the Com
mander in Chief OF the United
States armed forces. In others
he is considered as nothing more
than the Presidents errand boy.
Mr.. Roosevelt's clear definition
Of the Job Admiral Leahy will
perform has not been taken at
face value but has been regarded
as having some occult meaning.
The variety of views as to the
significance of the appointment
Is due to the fact that people
generally are not familiar with
the meaning Of the words "chief
Of staff" It is a glamorous title,
which carried with it more gold
braid than power. II Admiral
Leahy had been appointed adj
wiser or co-ordinator OF naval
and military matters. his power
would have been almost unlim-
tied As chief Of staff he has
none Of his own.
Executes Orders.
The title Of chief Of staff car
ries with it simply the task OF
executing the orders of his su-
perior and arranging details ac-
cording to strict instructions.
Field Marshal Foch was supreme
commander Of the Allied forces
In France in 1918 and his chief
OF staff was Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand. Gen. Weygand could not
give orders to anybody, except
in the name of the marshal.
The commander in chief con-
ceives and outlines his plans to
his chief Of staff, whose only
duties are to work out the de-
tails and see that the orders are
executed. When Admiral Leahy
commanded the battle force in
1885 he warned his chief Of staff
not to misunderstand his func-
tions and informed him that his
authority was limited to the in
structions OF the commanding
admiral.
A commander Of a group OF
armies, and even Of smaller
units, has his choice of the man
who will be the masters voice"
He naturally selects some one
whom ne trusts and whose ideas
dovetail with his own. Other
wise there could not be that
close cooperation which Is es-
sential to achieve the results the
commander expects.
Although President Roosevelt

two years off and the President
cannot be expected to ignore the
fact.
The war may be over then or it
may not, but either way If he now
neglects the New York situation the
forces of evil" may triumph in
1914. In that event not only would
his so-called social gains" be lost
but condition might arise in which
he could neither draft" himself for
a fourth term nor nominate Vice
President Wallace as his successor.
That is the way the New Deal poll
ticians and his administration aides
present the case.
On the other side. 1t is contended
that the spectacle Of the Presider.
engaged in a factional struggle fof
control OF 4 State machine while
the fate Of civilization hangs in the
balance is bad for the morale of the
people and detracts from the ef-
fectiveness of our war effort,
Further, 1t contradicts his own ap-
peals for the abandonment Of poll
tics and sets pretty horrible ex-
ample not only for members of
Congress but for his own subordi-
mates all down the line. Certainly,
1t Is a bar to national unity and
renders impossible the singleness of
purpose without which the war
cannot be won.
Better Strategy for 1914.
In addition, there is the argument
that even looking at things from
the narrowest political angle, it
would be better for the President
not to be active in politics now.
Entirely aside from the national in
terests, the best possible strategy
for him lies in measuring up to his
own words. rising high above the
political level and concentrating all
his time and energy on the conduct
OF the war. That would make him
lar stronger In 1914 than any
amount OF political maneuvering
and trading no matter how success
fully carried out. One would think
that if he had none but the most
selfish motives, Mr.. Roosevelt would
grasp the soundness Of that reason
ing.
But apparently he is trying to
play the game both ways. Publicly
he keeps up the pretense of not
being In the least concerned about
the New York fight. Actually, he
has initiated a dozen or more White
House conferences with machine
politicians from his State and he Is
undeniably the backbone OF the
fight against James A. Farley's can.
didate, John ]. Bennett, jr., who
would be overwhelmingly nominated
but for the White House influence
There is no possible way to refute
these facts. They are just too clear
to dispute. Yet, the President pushes
them aside and would like the news
papers to stultify themselves and
deceive the public by maintaining
the fiction that he is taking no in
terest in New York politics.

course Of the conflict, yet this is
precisely the time when it may
be most beneficial. Mr.. Hull's
great document, in which we have
a mingling Of the spiritual and
political, reaches out in four di-
rections:
1t is a pillar of fire for the
Allied peoples as they march for
victory. 1t affords encourage

the occupied countries. It re-
Dukes neutrals for their absurd
and suicidal" policy. And last,
but certainly not least, 1t may In
due course provide the impulse
for the populations of enemy
countries to abandon their sup
port of a barbaric aggression for
which many Of them have had
little heart.
The soft-spoken gentleman
from Tennessee has brought q
wealth Of humanity to his his
toric task. He remains the evan
gelical prophet who tried for 10
many years to persuade Europe
that 1t was headed for war; and
he still, 50 to speak, carries his
dueling pistols in his tail pockets,
for he has mixed charity with
firmness.
Agency to Keep Peace Hailed.
There are many facets to this
new world diamond which will
blaze SO brightly when the light
Of peace Is turned on 1t. We are

HuII's Postwar Program
Proposal for International Agency to Keep
Peoce CoIIed High Point Of Address

But perhaps the point which
will attract most attention IS the
provision for an international
agency to keep the peace "by
force, II necessary" for that rep
resents the teeth in any measure
Of reform. Without an agency
which can compel peace, We shall
get . repetition of the tragedy
Of the marble palace on the shore
of Lake Geneva.
Mr.. Hull doesn't specify the
nature Of the agency. but the
trend Of events leads one to en-
visage q policing Of the world
so long As necessary by the big
four Of the Allies-the United
States, Britain, Russia and
China. There lies the power
which can maintain order while
reconstruction is carried out.
The time has passed when we
can afford to depend on soft
Language to keep would-be world
conquerors like Hitler within the
bounds.
Another Duty for Allies.
Speaking of Hitler reminds US
of another duty which the Allies
must perform. As Assistant Sec
retary of State Sumner Welles
put it recently, we must mete out
swift, inexorable justice to in
dividuals, groups or peoples re-
sponsible for the war. The main
spring Of all this evil is. of course,
the NaZi Fuehrer and he, to-
gether with his captains, must
pay the price.
If memory serves me right,
Senator Pepper Of Florida re-
Gently said he would hang Hitler
higher than Haman. Well, be
that as 1t may, the German war
lord must be put out Of circula-
ton 80 that he can't do any fur
ther harm. One Of my colleagues
has suggested that the Nad all
highest should be compelled to
spent the rest Of his life In cell,
listening continually to phono-
graph records of his own
speeches, but that seems too
cruel.
Still, while We must exact
justice there's one thing which
we mustn't do If we are to get
the new world we want-and that
Is to approach the peace with
hatred In our hearts. The Earl
of Selbourne. British Minister Of
Economic Warfare, last month

Britain will never propose a re-
venge peace" And that clearly

This Changing World
Leohy os Presidents Chief Of Stoff Shores
His Superior's Views on Stroteey Of Wor

has known and trusted Admiral
Leahy for a long time, he ascer-
tanned his views regarding war
strategy before the appointment
was made. Regardless Of how
close two men may be associat-
ed, cooperation in military
task is impossible unless the
senior knows his views are
shared by the junior.
Role Clearly Defined.
In several talks between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Admiral
Leahy after the latter returned
from Vichy each had ample op-
portunity to discover what was
in the others mind regarding
successful prosecution of the war.
1t can be said that they agreed
on a certain line of conduct for
future military and naval oper-
ations.
President Roosevelt will decide
the next movements of our
armed forces with the advice of
Admiral Ernest j. King, COM
mander in chief of the United
States Fleet, and Gen. George G.
Marshall, Army chief of staff.
Admiral Leahy will execute the
Presidents orders and discuss
with the chiefs Of staff Of the
Army and the Navy many of the
details connected with these vast
operations.
Admiral Leahy will keep Presi-
dent Roosevelt posted about the
development Of operations, thus
relieving the other two top
ranking officers from the duty
of reporting frequently to the
White House.
Admiral King and Gen. Mar
shall will have more time to de-
vote to the details Of their op-
erations and will keep in touch
permanently with the President
through Admiral Leahy, but
whatever instructions and orders
they receive will emanate, not
from Admiral Leahy, but will
come directly from the Presi-
dents Office.
There is no question Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt further defining
Admiral Leahy's power and the
role he will play. They are clear
by definitions Of the functions Of
any chief of staff.
The reason Admiral Leahy's
appointment was greeted with
applause from the fighting serv-
ices is that these services, who
know him well, realize that he
will be an efficient, though ex-
acting, chief Of staff. On many
occasions disaster has resulted
from the appointment OF sec
ond-rate officer as chief Of staff
because OF personal considers
tions. This Is not the case with
