split up. Efforts have been made
and probably will continue to
bring about harmony In New
York between the Dewey and
Willkie forces. The issue hangs
apparently upon the willingness
of Mr.. Willkie to support Mr..
Dewey If the latter seeks the
gubernatorial nomination. At
present Mr.. Willkie is not saying
anything about Mr. Dewey's cam
didacy, or prospective candidacy,
for Governor. He does say en-
phatically, however. that he will
not make any deal with Dewey
which would trade his support
for Dewey for Governor this year
for Dewey's support of Mr..
Willkie for President in 1914.
Seeks to Check IsolatiOnism.
Mr.. Wilkes first desire today,
so far as the Republican party is
concerned, is to have it a sound
party, party that will not re-
turn to its old policy of isola-
tionism after the war is over. He
is in earnest about this, terribly
so. Therefore, he will judge the
candidates for Governor of New
York on their past records on
foreign policy and on what they
have to say about the future
course of the United States in
foreign affairs.
What will come Of this Repub-
lican situation in New York is
still a guess, though Republican
leaders here insist it will be
ironed out. Mr.. Willkie, although
he is said by some to be opposed
to the Dewey candidacy. is not
acting in any sense for the
wealthy group in business which
look askance at the former dis
trict attorney, Mr.. Wilkes
friends insist. Indeed. they point
out, Mr.. Willkie has been incor-
rectly labeled the candidate OF
big business. He is, they say, the
candidate of ordinary man in
the street, and they point to his
employment as counsel for many
labor organizations in litigation
affecting the working men and
women.
Whether they actually do or
not, there is an apparent con-
flict between the political ambi-
tionS Of Mr.. Willkie and Mr..
Dewey-at least in the eyes of
their respective friends. If Mr..
Dewey is to stay in public life,
he must run for Governor of
New York this year. Otherwise
he will lapse into the back
ground as just another former
New York district attorney when
1914 rolls round. If he can be
elected Governor, or make an
extremely close race-as he did
In 1938-he still remains an i'm
portant figure in public life.

There is group which has

This group does not want Sena-

Nor does it want Thomas E.

Despite Marshal Petain's
friendship for Gen. Weygand
many OF his aides have been ar
rested and his personal aide-de-
camp has been sentenced to a
l5-year Jail term for unpatriotic

from persons who have pene-

Besides a few warships there
are strong coastal defenses to re-

heavy guns Of the battleship

in the outer harbor. have been
put on shore to strengthen de-
fenses Of the base. The Richelieu
has been repaired after being

candidate for President, despite
the fact he lost. to President
Roosevelt in 1910. should aspire
to be candidate for President
again In 1914. His friends feel
that his candidacy might be
challenged by Mr.. Dewey, If he
were Governor.
With the wealthy group on the
one hand and the Willkie sup
porters on the other, both op-
posed to the Dewey candidacy
though for somewhat different
reasons-there is drive to con-
vince Mr.. Dewey that he should
step aside and permit the nomi-
nation of another Republican for
Governor this year. Presumably
Mr.. Dewey could get the nomi-
nation If he went after it-no
matter what these groups under
take to do against him. Dewey
is still strong with the party Or
ganization in the state. Mr..
Dewey has still to announce him
self q candidate. If and when he
does. Mr.. Willkie will be asked to
say where he stands on this
candidacy.
1t has been suggested in some
quarters that Mr.. Willkie might
go the length Of supporting Gov.
Lehman. Democrat, against
Mr.. Dewey. There is no truth
whatever in that report or that
Mr.. Willkie will become a DEM
ocrat. He will support no DEM
ocratic candidates for office this
year. either for Governor or for
Congress. He will support those
Republicans whom he believes
are sound on foreign affairs, as
we'll as domestic, and where he
thinks they are not he will keep
silent. This will not, however,
prevent his support OF a Repub-
lican whose views he likes
against a Republican whose views
he does not like. either in a
primary election or In state con-
vention. With such a program
he could work to defeat Repre-
sentative Fish of New York, Re-
publican isolationist, and he will
do so If Mr.. Fish seeks renomi-
nation. 1t is understood. how
ever. that Mr.. Fish is soon to go
into the Army. If he does, he
will resign from the House.
On the Democratic side, eff
forts are being made to persuade
Gov. Lehman to run for a fifth
term. If he does not, then an at
tempt will be made to draft for
mer Postmaster General James
A. Farley, at present chairman
of the Democratic State Commit
tee, or Senator Mead. Both have
declared they are not candidates.
Failing to nominate any of these,
the Democrats may turn to At
torney General John j. Bennett.

land is. however, extremely difficult,
even should upper Burma fall to
Japan. To attack India by sea
probably would require as a pre-
liminary the reduction OF Ceylon,
where there is considerable Brit
ish naval and air power. In view
of the growing threat in the Pacific
the japanese naval staff may not
desire to send too many ships as
far away as the Bay of Bengal.
The Japanese can attack Aus
tralia, but must be prepared to
face there the redoubtable Mac
Arthur with well-equipped Aus
tralian-American Army. 1t is not at
all certain that the japanese can
obtain air superiority in Australia.
The decision may be to concen-
trate on China, the Burma road
being cut and other routes not yet
fully developed. This would seem
logical save that because of tempo
rary isolation the Chinese front
presents a less immediate threat
to Japan than any other sector of
the huge Far Eastern theater of
war. Certainly less than the Rus
sian front, at least for the present.
The Japanese must have been
very nervous about the possibility
OF a sudden Russian attack during
the course of their operations in
the south. They were racing
against time, trying to eliminate
every base from which the United
Nations could hope to stage a come
back. Having pushed us back to
India and Australia, they may now
think themselves sufficiently pro-
tected In those directions by the
factor OF distance, and may there

elimination Of what they may con-
slider the next most serious threat

the Far East.

This would be an entirely logical
development of the Japanese STRAIT

vast distances which separate her

other great powers, Is the founda.

This latter policy has lost some
prestige of late, due to the Ill sue

however, it seems quite possible that

think their hour of golden oppor-
