The Greet Game of Politics

iOl ICtdlIllils III iIlpOf edl1 pOolS |
third and fourth rate men long after
their incapacity had been demon |
strated, merely because they were
his friends. But not before has the
charge been made that he did not
stand by his friends.
Now this charge is made by his
friends. In addition his friends-not
his enemies, but his friends-assert
that the reasons Mr.. Roosevelt has
not stood by Mr.. Welles, Mr. Hen
derson, Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Davis
are political ones. One columnist,
who can be classed as at least New
Dealist, wrote that both Mr.. Hen
derson and Mr.. Perkins had been
kicked out" as sacrif1cial goats by
the President, for whom they would
have laid down their lives"
The gentleman who wrote that is
an able, high-minded and usually
level-headed man. He must have
been in a high state of excitement
to make so exaggerated statement.
For one thing neither Mr.. Hender-
son nor Mr.. Perkins would LAY
down their lives" for any man or
anything.
The literal fact is that every
worthwhile thing they ever had in
the way of reputation and salary
was given them by Mr.. Roosevelt.
And if, after they had messed mat
ters up pretty badly, Mr.. Roosevelt
reluctantly let them go, he was
wholly within his rights. To accuse
him of ingratitude is just too silly
to discuss.
The only justified criticism of Mr..
Roosevelt concerning Mr.. Henderson
and Mr.. Perkins is, first, that he ever
put them in such important jobs and
gave them so much power; second,
that he kept them so long. Concern
ing Mr.. Welles and Mr.. Davis, there
just is no point trying to make them
seem like "sacrificial goats kicked
out by a President for whom they
would have laid down their lives"
Forced to Choose.
True, Mr.. Welles is an able man.
but the situation which had arisen
between him and Mr.. Hull made 1t
impossible for both to continue
longer in their positions. Forced to
choose, Mr.. Roosevelt could do
nothing but what he did.
The strength of Mr.. Hull is not. as
suggested, with the Southern Demo-
Gratis, but in the esteem in which he
is held by the country as whole
an esteem due to his high private
character and fine public record. AS
for MIR. Davis, it is true Mr.. Roose.
velt Inundated him by leaving him
out of the Quebec conference and
by rebuking him for the character
of certain Owl broadcasts.
Before long Mr.. Roosevelt can be
counted upon to issue some sort of
statement or write some sort of
letter or take some sort of action
calculated to show his affectionate
confidence in both Mr.. Welles and
Mr.. Davis.
Summing up, there is no basis for
the charge that the President is not
Standing by his friends" AS to the
charge that he is playing politics,
that is true. No posted man will
dispute that.

physical control over the Darda-
nelles.
Thereafter the Turks we're busy
strengthening their armies with
whatever outside help they were
able to obtain. AS a result of
their suspicious they concen-
trated the bulk of their forces
in Asia Minor, particularly in the
area between Ankara and the
Caucasian and Armenian bor-
ders.
Turkey Has Been Courted.
The United Nations and the
Axis have been counting Turkey
since the start OF the war. But,
lacking the necessary modern
war materials and realizing what
happened to the countries which
entered the war without proper
arms, Turkey remained stub
hornly neutral.
After the Casablanca confer
ence the Turks began to receive
American lease-lend material
through the good Offices of the
British. President Roosevelt
agreed that Prime Minister
Churchill should go to Turkey
and see President Inonu without
American advisers.
Some war material is now be-
ing sent to Turkey, but in view
of the demands for products from
members of the United Nations,
it Is doubtful whether Turkey
receives sufficient quantities to
enable her to make her fighting
forces into an actual modern
army.
The unexpected ,scolding the
Turks received from War and
the Working Classes" is said to
have thrown the Ankara govern
ment into a state of near-panic.
Turkey Bides Time.
Turkey apparently is biding her
time. She is not in position to
attack the Axis sfnglehandedly.
The Bulgarians, who will never
fight Russia, but who have been
fighting the Turks for at least a
century, would put up more than
a good fight should the Turkish
armies attempt to cross the bor-
ders.
There are at least $50 900 Ger
mans in Bulgaria. Our own mill
tary men say that the Germans
Bulgarian troops could be in
Instanbul in less than week if
Turkey made the slightest move.
The Turkish troops in Anatolia
are from the sea. They could not
do much against the Germans
unless the British showed their
willingness to move their armies
from the Middle East into the
Balkans.
The Turkish diplomats see in
the Russian article an attempt
of the Kremlin to peg some
claims when the foreign secre-
taries of the three pillars of the
United Nations get together in
the near future.
And they are frankly con-
cerned. They recall a statement
made a few months ago by Mr..
Churchill in which he said that
Turkeys position at the peace
table would be more advan-
tageous If she came to the side
of the Allies without too much
delay.
This warning has now become
ominous in the light of what the
Moscow magazine had to say
about Russia's western neighbor.

Tot. ;. Takes
Fatal Sip
of CarboIic

A pretty three-year-old New
Baltimore girls childish curios-
ity Tuesday night cost her life
when, intrigued by the appear
ance of a carbolic acid bottle in
a neighbours home, she slipped
the deadly chemical and died in
intense pain three hours later.
The victim, Rita May Rolend,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
Rolend, $3.50 Callens road, New
Baltimore, had been visiting at
the Abe Rivard home, nearby,
when she drank the burning
fluid.
According to Macomb County
Coroner Howard V. Groesbeck,
Jr., the child had been eating an
ice cream cone and was given a
sandwich by the Rivards when
she sauntered about the home,
walking into a bedroom where
she found the deadly poison
and, for some unknown reason,
decided TO sample it.
Despite the fact that a
physician was called at once, eff
forts to save the child proved
unavailing.
Funeral arrangements under
the direction of the Will Funeral
Home. New Haven, are not yet
complete.
Surviving are the parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Rollend; a
brother, David. 5; a sister, Clara,
one year old; grandmother, Mrs.
