He'll be all right in little while.
The bottom has dropped out of the
isolationist world and it needs time
to think. 1t used to demand an ex-
elusive alliance with Britain on the
days when it was not denouncing
Britain.
The new declarations make that
silly. Isolation also used to demand
bases from Britain on the days
when 1T was not demanding an ex-
elusive alliance with Britain. That,
too, IS now absurd Where do the

Things used to be so much better

ing the sharp and imminent present
Senator Pepper has been pleading
for an amendment to make the
Connally resolution more specific
No amendment is needed now
Moscow has made the resolution
specific.
The Train Is In,
The train has arrived while we
were still drawing blueprints for
the station. The Connally resolu-
ton can no longer be considered
apart from the situation created by
the Moscow declarations. The SEN
ate Of the United States must either
ratify the world as it now exists or
decide that it prefers some other
planet altogether.
Then there is the effect on some
domestic political fortunes. A part
at least, Of Mr.. Wendell Willkie S
strongest appeal to the electorate
would seem to have been washed
out. Mr.. Willkie had become the
leader of internationalist forces in
American life. But the last chapter
OF One World" has been written in
Moscow, and by Mr.. Roosevelt Mr.
Wilkes arguments have succeeded
and so he has none left. He Is the
victim Of having been right. 1t is
sad, because if he had been wrong.
he would not have run out of thun-
der In quite the same way.
Mr.. Willkie is faced by a supreme
ly delicate choice. He can indorse
the Moscow declarations, and ride
with them. Or he can try to main
tain some species Of independent
Ioppositional place by quibbling
about them. But a quibbler is not a
leader.
Acceptance Is Better.
My best advice to him, and It
comes from fond heart, is to ac-
cept. He must not step out of the
channel into the ditch. Let him
leave the quibbling to others. Mr..
Wilkes Importance has rested en-
tirely on the fact that he has
chosen, against all tempta ton. to
move in the main stream of the
emerging life Of our time.
Those who fall out of step with
the Moscow declarations are dead
men. those who march with them
will find new doors to political life
and usefulness opening for them.
Mr.. Wilkes future lies not in
gouging f1y-specks out of the Moscow
declarations, but in defending them
against attackers. The country
may need a Republican of that
stripe. Mr.. Willkie may be assured
that the struggle in which he has
fought so long. so well, is not over
but will be resumed, though on a
different level and in more complex
form
In the profoundly changed po-
litical climate brought about by the
Moscow declarations isolation seems
to be losing its poise completely.
Senator Wheelers first reaction was
to demand the -Four Freedoms for
Poland, too. The Senator at one
time thought that dissemination
Of the Four Freedoms did not justify
our going to war anywhere. He
insisted that he was practical man.

The te-collar workers, more
over, are to no small extent irritated

great agricultural States of the
Midwest had lost their fondness
for the New Deal administration.
President Roosevelt won re-elec-
ton because of his strength in
the industrial centers. The re-
suits of the congressional and
gubernatorial elections in 1912
were still more impressive, with
the tide running against the New
Dealers in many of the big in
dustrial States.
Similar Test Tuesday.
A similar test was made in
three of the largest industrial
States on Tuesday-NeW York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
In New York the Republicans
triumphed over the Democrats
and their ally. the American
Labor party, more impressively
than in 1912 when Gov. Dewey
was elected. State Senator Joe
R. Hanley's lead over his Demo-
cratic opponent, 1t. Gen. William
N. Haskell, in the race for Lieu
tenant Governor, was approxi-
mately $4,000. Gov. Dewey had
a margin of 100000 over his Dem
ocratic opponent, John j. Ben
nett, and a margin of about
100000 over the combined vote
for Mr.. Bennett and the candi-
date of the American Labor
party, Dean Alfange. Gen.
Haskell had the support of both
the Democratic and American
Labor parties.
1t is true that registration was
off and that the vote on Tuesday
was comparatively light. But 1t
would be difficult to maintain
that this situation was due en-
tirely to apathy on the part of
the Democrats and Laborites
alone, and that all of the Re-
publican potential strength went
to the polls.
In all three Of these States
hundreds of thousands of its men
were in the armed forces and did
not vote. The Democratic claim
is that had these men been at
home malority of them would
have supported the Democratic
ticket. However the military
draft has not distinguished be-
tween Democrats and Republi-
cans. A strong effort is being
made now in Congress to provide
for the voting of all men in the
armed forces next year.
All three of these States were
carried by President Roosevelt in
the 1910 election with consider .,

reduced from the Democratic
ma jOrities in 1896. 1t is obvious
that the Democrats cannot win
the presidency next year if they
should lose New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania and also.
the great Midwest 1t is incon-
ceivable that such States as
Illinois and Ohio, which stood
by Roosevelt in 1910, would con-
tinue to do so If these industrial
States slipped over to the Re-
publicans.

attitude which is reflected in the
warning State Chairman Jim Farley
Issued in New York when he said he
hoped the New Deal would heed the
signs of the times The conservative
Democrats lately have been gaining
in strength in the councils of the
Administration. The state of popu-
lar opinion in relation to the RooSe-
welt Administrations handling of
domestic problems has not been a
secret.
AS for the Republicans, they are
not altogether sure what the cleo
tions mean though they interpret
the results hopefully AS an augury
of change next autumn. There is
no doubt that the Republicans feel
they will materially increase their
strength in both houses in 1914, but
almost everyone who comments on
the elections privately comedies that
the war situation may have a great
deal to do with the voting for the
presidency.
International Issue.
Today, of course, the Republicans
who are being mentioned for the
presidency all appear to be at one
on an international program such
as is envisaged by the majority in
the Senate-adherenc to a general
international organization of SOW
ereign and peace-loving nations,
large and small, as described in the
Moscow agreement But whether
the party lines will tend to deviate
from this by the time the preSiden-
tial campaign is at hand is some
thing else again Thus it is con-
ceivable that if Mr.. Willkie gets the
Republican nomination. he will neu-
tralize the international issue and
the campaign may be fought pri-
marily on domestic grounds. If
some other Republican gets the
nomination and straddleS the inter-
national issue so that it is apparent
he is playing to the isolationiSt vote
the election Of the Democratic nOmi-
nee who stands four square for in
ternational cooperation would seem
to be assured. The balance of power
rests with the Willkie followers on
the international issue.
Members of Congress are reluctant
to become entangled in the inter-
national cooperation issue and
would like very much TO be recorded
in favor of a Connaly resolution
or its substitute so that the fight
cannot be made against them on
this issue.
II the campaign is waged on do
meStlc issues alone. then this week S
voting certainly does not augur we'll
for any Democratic nominee. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has many chances
between now and next summer to
strengthen his hold with the voters

however unless he specifically says
he will not accept. The Democratic
party has no stronger vote -getter
than Mr.. Roosevelt If he does not
accept the nomination, it will be a
sure sign that he thinks the Ameri-

The Political Mill

mally strong Democratic terri
tory, was equally impressive. The
so-called border" States, of
which Kentucky Is one, along
with West Virginia and Mary
land, have always been political
barometers. When they have
gone Republican or given the
Republicans an almost even
break with the Democrats, the
next national election has usually
gone for the COP.
In Kentucky former Judge
Simeon S. Willis, the Republican
candidate for Governor, ran his
campaign on State issues. He
demanded that the Democratic
machine be thrown out of
Frankfort, where it has ruled for
the last dozen years. The
Democratic campaigns keynote,
sounded by Senator Barkley, was
Vote for j. Lyter Donaldson
and support President Roosevelt"
Senator Barkley told the voters
that the election of Republican
Governor in Kentucky would be
interpreted as a reputation of
the Presidents leadership.
There seems not the slightest
doubt that resentment among
Democratic voters against the
administration in Washington as
we'll as in Frankfort and against
conditions generally growing out
of the war was responsible for
the big turnover in the vote and
sent Democrats to the polls ready
to vote Republican.
The Kentucky vote remains the
most difficult for the Democratic
leaders to explain away. Fac
tional troubles among the Dem
ocrats, it is true, have been Sc
we're, despite the surface claims
Of amicable relations. Mr.. Dom
aldson was nominated in face of
the well-understood opposition to
him of Senator Chandler. He
had the backing Of Senator Bark
ley and OF Gov. Keen johnson.
The farmers of the State turned
out in force to support Demo-
cratic candidate of their own and
he received 10000 votes in the
primary for the nomination.
Local Resentment Slight
Gov. Johnsons administration
has been efficient. When he goes
out Of office he will leave a
balance of $4,000, 900 in the State
treasury. He has done much to
revamp and rebuild State insti-
tions. 1t cannot be said, there
fore, that the large Republican
vote Is to be attributed merely to
dislike of the johnson admin
istration. 1t goes much deeper
than that, and as far as WASH
ington.
In New York the political wa
ters were muddied by "L'Affaire
Aurelio." Thomas A. Aurelio, now
judge-elect of the Supreme Court,
was shown to have received and
accepted with gratitude the in
f1uence Of Frank Costello, gam
bier and slot machine king, when
he was nominated for judge. He
claimed, IN disbarment proceed
ings against him, which were dis
missed, that he did not know
Costello's activities. Michael J.
Kennedy, Tammany leader and
several Tammany district lead
ers were shown also to be in
volved with Costello The result g
has been a demand that Mr..
Kennedy. who achieved leader
ship Of Tammany with White
House blessing, be ousted. The
whole situation gave Gov. Dewey
an opportunity to assail the
Democratic machine in the clos
ing days of the campaign.
Assuredly, the Democratic ma
tional administration has been
given something to think about
on the political home front, a
front which already has been in
It's mind, judging from various
political maneuvers in recent
months.

torate a different mood and outlook

But one thing seems clear-the

itself in the absence of the soldier
vote. And yet the tide ran strongly
against the Democrats. This can

But even II he continues to be

reticence as his predecessors the
decision of the Soviet government
to send a high-ranking general to

commander in chief an excellent
opportunity to learn more infor-

May Get Together.
1t is hoped that the appoint
ment of Russian officer to the
Allied general staff in London will
bring about correlation of the
strategic plans of the two armies
which will operate several thou
sand miles apart but will fight
the same enemy.
Until recently our strategy has
been the object of severe criticism
from Moscow while we shrugged
our shoulders at what the Rus
SLAMS were doing since We did not
envisage the importance of their
battles.
This situation will end soon.
Gen. Marshall has had no per-
sonal contact with the Russian
generals. But there is little doubt
that he will impress the Russian
staff officers in London in the
same manner he has impressed
our own officers and the British.
The campaign against the Nazis
IN Western Europe cannot be pre-
clpitated by any political agree
ments or demands that it start
at once. The Russians appear
satisfied that We will be ready to
attack in the next few months.
And since they are satisfied with
the political results of the Mos
COW conference it is unlikely that
we will now be under the same
pressure to satisfy them mill
tarily.
Invasion Mapped.
Gen Marshall is known to be
strong advocate of hitting the
Germans where they are supposed
to be strongest. This is known
not only to his American COL
leagues but also to the British
and the Russians. Preparations
for an invasion of Europe have
been IN progress for several
months. Gen. Marshall's arrival
in London to take over command
Of the troops which will go across
the Channel will be a final indi-
cation that we are about ready
to strike.
After Gen. Eisenhower took
over his command some time was
required before the North African
campaign could be started in No
vember, 1912. 1t is likely that the
same delay will be necessary be-
tween Gen. Marshalls assumption
OF command and the actual tnva-
sion of western Europe gets un-
derway.
