The Political Mill
New York Primaries in Spotlight Today With Effort
To Defect Representatives Fish ond BorV

JOhn SanDOTH, SIdte otiid upI.
Senator Thomas has remained
in Washington, leaving the ham
ding of the primary campaign
in the hands of his friends. 1t
Is expected he will be renomi-
mated. The Democrats have five
candidates for the senatorial
nomination and 1t is free for
all fight.
The fight against Mr.. Marcan-
tonic is based not alone on the
idea that he is an isolationist,
but on his votes against prepara-
tions for national defense before
Germany attacked Soviet Russia
when Russia was virtually an
ally of Germany. A. Charles
Mucciolo is his opponent in the
Republican and Labor party pri-
maries, and Frank J. Ricca is the
Democratic organization candi-
date against Mr. Marcantonio.
The latter is running in all three
primaries. He has the support
of Mayor La Guardia, a member
Of the Labor party, whose pro-
tege he has been.
Mrs. Caraway Indorses Mcclellan.
In Arkansas. Jack Holt, attor-
ney general of the State. is run
ming against former Representa-
tive Mcclellan in the Democratic
runoff for the senatorial nomina-
ton. 1t may be a close race.
Mrs. Caraway has indorsed Mr..
Mcclellan, who formerly ran
against her.
Senator Norris, Independent,
of Nebraska, is not entered in the
primary elections. although he is
up for reelection this year if he
wishes to run. He has made no
announcement of his plans.
However. after the nominations
have been made by the Repub-
lcans and the Democrats, it Is
likely that Senator Norris many
friends in the State will strongly
urge him to run again as an In
dependent, as he did in 1896.
Many political observers and
politicians in the State believe
that the veteran Senator will
consent to make the race.
Kenneth Wherry. Republican
State chairman and selected by
Chairman Martin of the Repub-
lican National Committee to
have charge of the Western cam
paign this year, is expected to
be the Republican Senatorial
candidate. There are seven can
didates for the Democratic sena-
torial nomination. Among them
are Representative Coffee and
Foster May, who has gained
large following as a radio COM
mentator. The State turned
again to the Republican ranks
in the 1910 election. If Senator
Norris should decide not to run
again. the probabilities of Re-
publican victory in the senatorial
campaign would be bright.
Ohio has no senatorial election
this year. However, Gov. Bricker,
Republican. will be renominated,
and the chances are he will be
reelected in the fall and there
by become possible contender
for the Republican Presidential
nomination in 1914.

The battle now raging around
the Solomon Islands may presage
the opening of our second front
in this war and the beginning
OF an all-out attack against the
japanese conquered territories in
the South Pacific, Well-informed
quarters in Washington believe.
The final results of the battle
which is being waged with un-
usual fury Will not be known in
the United States for several
more days. The official COM
muniques Of the japanese an
nouncing terrific American
losses" are described in compe-
tent naval quarters as the usual
fishing expeditions. The official
communique of the Navy De-
partment reporting the loss Of
one cruiser and damage 30 two
cruisers, two destroyers and one

of the feet operating under

Primary elections in four
States and a runoff primary for
the Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation in Arkansas help to keep
the political mills grinding today.
More interest centers in the out
come of the primaries in New
York State than in the others,
because OF the efforts of certain
groups to defeat for renomlna-
ton Representative Fish, Repub-
lican, in the 26th district, and
Representative Barry, Democrat,
in the 2nd district, both of whom
bear the pre-Pearl Harbor isola-
zionist label. The voters in
Idaho, Nebraska and Ohio, too,
will determine who are to be
their congressional and guber-
material candidates. In New
York, delegates to the Republican
and Democratic State conven-
ttions will be elected, and these
delegates, in convention, later
will decide who will make the
race for Governor next November.
While the principal interest in
the New York primary centers
in the races which Mr.. Fish and
Mr.. Barry are making for re-
nomination, one of the co-called
purge" groups-Vote for Free
dom-has called on the voters to
defeat for denomination five
other members of the House
Representative Pfeifer in the 3rd
district. Somers in the 9Th dis
trict, OLeary in the llth dis
trict and Kennedy in the 18th
district, all Democrats, and Mar
cantonio In the goth district,
American Labor party. Mr..
Marcantonio is a leader of the
left wing of the Labor party.
WilIkie Into Fray.
In a final effort to halt Mr..
Fish, Republican presidential
nominee in 1910, Wendell L.
Willkie, sent telegram into his
district Sunday urging the Re-
publicans to support Augustus
w. Bennett, Mr.. Fish's principal
opponent. Mr.. Willkie assailed
Mr.. Fish as an isolationist who
voted against many of the pre-
war national defense measures.
He insisted that the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Fish would weaken
the Republican party in the gen.
eral election campaign. The
other two entries in the Repub-
lican primary are Prof. Emerson
D. Fite of Vassar College and Ed
ward j. CDoc) Bowen of Pough-
keepsie. One other Republican
isolationist, Representative Reed
OF the Add district, also has op-
position. His opponent is Nelson
M. Fuller. So the pre-Pearl-
Harbor isolationism issue has
been projected into the New York
primaries in a big way.
In Idaho, Senator Thomas, Re-
publican, is seeking renomina-
ton. Senator Thomas, who sue
ceeded the late Senator William
E. Borah, strongly opposed to
American intervention in the
war, has followed in Mr.. Borahs
footsteps. He has two opponents
in the primary, Presley Horn and

like beavers from the time they
occupied them. Metal runways
have been laid down, as was done
in the Aleutian islands of Attu
and Kiska, and strong garrisons
have been established.
While the Japs have neglected
to prepare the Netherlands In
dies and Borneo against surprise
attack, because of their great
distance from Australia, and
have contented themselves with
emptying these territories OF all
foodStuffs, the islands in the
immediate vicinity of Australia
have been transformed into
strong defensive bases, with ade-
ouate numbers of planes, all
types of anti-aircraft artillery
and strong garrisons.

To dislodge the japanese from
these StrongholdS will require
more serious losses than We suf-
fered in the battles of the Coral
Sea and Midway. The former
was a purely naval and air battle
opened by the American Navy
for defensive purposes; the latter
was great surprise for the jap
anese, who were on their way
to attack Midway. Hence. our
losses we're slight compared with
the enemy'S.
The battle for the Solomon Is
lands is completely different, We
are meeting a determined foe who
may have anticipated such an
attack for several weeks and has
left nothing to chance. Because
of the necessity of embarking
troops on transports in Austral-
ian harbors the Japanese may

I'D Rather Be Right
InfontiIe Reformer Would Let Real India Perish
To Save on Indio That VIII Never Exist

It is merely that blood and sweat
are rarely allowed to intrude into
his geometrical, paper world. He
cannot hear a third Of q billion
scrambled people saying; we are
the only India there is" He cannot
hear the war saying: The time is
now" He cannot hear history say
ing: perhaps there will be
minority problem in India. Who
says you have to solve 1t? Who says
you are competent to solve it? Who
says any one but the Indians can
solve it? Perhaps it will lead to
trouble. 7 seem to remember a
War Between the States, even in
America. You are not dealing in
choices. but necessities; if history
we're matter of choices, there
would never have been any history"
Paper Victory, in a Paper World.
So the infantile reformer, who is
a reasonable man, commits the un-
reason of letting the real India go
to hell to save an India that will
never exist.
He seizes upon a stupid paragraph
by Gandhi, and gives it worldwide
circulation, as if that will stop the
Japanese. He scatters moral argu-
ments, as if that will stop the Jap
anese. He talks of his goodwill Of
year ago, as if that will stop the
japanese. His paper world is be-
traying him. He must persuade
/ India to fight; the only India there
| is. If that is hard even that does
/ not excuse him. He must throw
away his nursery dreams. There
| is no other India. He has a war
to win, not an argument.

Rv SAMUEL GRAFTON.

History is never nicely squared-off
and geometrically exact, but some
of us think it should be. We should
prefer the situation in India to be
about as follows: A group of people,
called Indians, compose their differ
ences and become at once all alike,
utterly uniform. They draw them
selves up on vast empty plain (llke
one of the limitless parade grounds
in a surrealist painting) and con-
front another group of people, called
the English.
The English will also have COM
posed their differences by that time.
They, too, will look alike and think
alike. Then, according to this in
| fantile conception, one Indian will
step forward and say: 1--WE want
| freedom" An Englishman will stride
forth to announce: You will receive
it the moment the war is over"
Done" says the Indian. Done" "
says the Englishman. Both sides
cheer jerkily, bells ring, the stars
dance and the happy bronze noises
| fill the air,
The Pretty Picture.
| Wake up. These pretty, pat pic
| lures are our enemy, for they para
| lyze us and blind us, too. You have,
on the Indian side, 10000 900 Mo-
| hammedans, who do not like the
$50. 900, 900 Hindus, and probably will
never care for them greatly in our
| lifetime. You have among the
Hindus $4,000 900 untouchables, who
are tired of being untouchable, and
who have their own leader. You
| have boils and sores, and disease
and raggedness. You have a third
of billion people who have been
taught, for hundreds of years, tc
use the back door. You cannot draw
| this mass up on the parade ground ;
you cannot make it speak with one
voice; it has its own life, like the
mass IN VINE vat.
At this point the infantile reformer
breathes a sob of relief. "Oh, well
you can't distribute freedom, in a
situation of that sort" He uses
India's troubles to solve his troubles
Perhaps he even goes down on his
knees, to give thanks for the minor
ity problem. 1t makes it so easy tC
disregard the majority problem.
The Ideal India.
No, nothing in history is pat and
squared-off. But you can't keer
the infantilist from hoping. He
has his own determined conception
of what India revolutionary leader
should be Ike. He should think as
we do, for example, on all major
points. When India's leader turns
out to be a strange croSs-patCh
named Gandhi, a man who otter
says silly things, who has ever
muttered of appeasement to tht
Japanese Can attitude since with.
drawn, however, again the infantilt
reformer is purged of the need fol
action. Gandhi has some peculiar
notions. therefore we do not hav'
to free India. Blessed be the mott
in your neighbors eye, for it give
you the right to kick him in th'
stomach.
The infantile reformer is per
, fectly willing to solve the problem
Of all ideal India, which will neve
exist; he only draws the line g
solving the problems of the rea
India, which does exist.
And, just as he invents an idea
