can presidential nominee in 1886

plan the President outlined to him
for postwar world in which under
privileged races would have their
living standards improved and pur-
chasing power raised, instead Of
being MIXED, as has been the habit
in the past in most of the colonial
empire systems
Mr. Landon, who said recently in
a speech "some sort of international
role is inevitable for the United
States" told newsmen that he Of
fered no ideas, but contented him.
self with listening to the President
with whom he said he agrees on
the importance of improving the lol
of poorer races, both physically and
financially.
Describes Visit as Cordial"
Mr.. Landon went into no details
but said the Presidents idea "ap-
pealed to me as having considerable
| merit"
The former Kansas Governor de-
scribed his visit with the President
as cordial and nice" adding that
he was very happy, indeed, to see
him looking so we'll"
He said they talked about their
families and that the President told
him things about his African trip
that had not been published.
Mr.. Landon was asked if politics
were discussed. He said he guessed
that what they had under considera-

was more or less political"

was asked whether he would be in
the 1914 presidential nomination
contest. He replied:
Not in the slightest degree"
In an interview last night he
elaborated on q recent speech in
which he expressed the opinion
that an international part will be
played by this country after the
war. The former Kansas Governor
urged the administration to proceed
cautiously in adopting any postwar
collaboration policies at this time
lest the Nation find itself fore
closed to any international bargain
ing when the war actually ends.
Wants Understa nding First.
"The difnculty we are running into
IN this postwar collaboration busi-
ness is that we see some people want
ing us to go in and sign a collective
bond before we have thorough
understanding of the conditions we
are going to underwrite," he said.
This sort OF agitation, he con-
tinued, is apt to raise delicate ques-
tions that may interfere with the
war coalition"
I'VE shouldn't sign any bond" Mr.
Landon continued. before knowing
for example, whether we are going
to underwrite the French and Dutch
Empires, greater British democ-
racy, and the partitioning of Poland
and the Baltic republics. If one
makes deal now, he can't go back
and bargain after he has signed up.
Mr.. Landon said he leaned toward
the proposal of former President
Hoover, under which he said there
would be temporary statement OF
principles and peace machinery sci
up now to be followed later by solu-
tion of major problems after wal
hates have cooled.

Rival Senate GROUPS
May Take Turns in
Visiting African Front
Controversy on Junket
Strikes Humorous Note
In Capitol Comment
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press. .ssr
Prospects that the Senate True
man and Military Affairs Commit
tees might take turns visiting the
North African battle front were
raised today, prompting Representa-
tive Davis, Democrat, OF Tennessee,
to remark that such climax to the
controversy might relieve trafic
congestion on the ocean lanes"
Mr.. Davis, a member OF the House
Military Affairs Committee, which
has had battlefront investigation
of its own under consideration for
months. said senatorial plans were
so ambitious there won't be room
enough for members of our commit
tee in North Africa until our fighting
men capture little more territory" !"
Jurisdictional Question Raised.
Each Senate committee contends
it should do any investigating of
battlefronts that ought to be done.
The Truman group went beyond the
argument stage by proceeding to
take inoculations usually given
those who 60 overseas. Today they
moved on to New York to inspect
port facilities and one of them, who
refused to be quoted, said reports
had been received that installations
for unloading shells were inadequate,
both here and abroad
1--WE want to find out through in
spections here and across whether
unloading facilities can be improved
and whether materials are being
shipped without regard to the abil-
ity of the receiving end to handle
them properly" he said.
Meanwhile, both the Truman
Committee and the Military Affairs
Subcommittee, headed by Senator
Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky,
chose to ignore the jocular sugges-
tion of James F. Byrnes, economic
stabilization director, who proposed
at President Roosevelt's press con-
ference yesterday that a second
'front.' be opened to accommodate
the many Senators who want to
visit battlefronts.
Chandler mot Seeking Trip"
Chairman Reynolds of the full
Senate Military Affairs Committee
said he would send the Chandler
subcommittee to the war zones
when we are convinced we can
make contribution to the war ef-
fort by so doing"
I'm not seeking this trip" Sem
ator Chandler told reporters. The
committee haspt even suggested to
the War Department that we should
go.
However, we made it clear that
if anything can be contributed to
the war effort by Senate investi-
CATION, the Military Affairs Commit
tee should make it. We are the only
committee with jurisdiction over the
lighting program.
We agreed to a joint committee,
including two members of each
group and one Senator who was a
member OF both, but they (the Tru-
man Committed turned it down.
