Roosevelt, as well as of Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, the coming
contest will be considered a test
Of political sentiment-a test
which will cast q shadow of COM
ing events.
II the Democrats can turn the
tables on the Republicans and
elect a Lieutenant Governor, the
New Dealers will acclaim the
victory as showing that the EN-
pire State Is safe for President
Roosevelt if he runs for a fourth
term next year.
Further, If Democrat is
elected Lieutenant Governor to
fill the unexpired term which
ends January, 1947, Gov. Dewey
will have to stay on the job as
Governor and not become a sue
cessful presidential nominee next
year. or else have a Democrat
acting as Governor of New York.
1t would, of course, be pos
sible for the Republicans to
nominate Gov. Dewey for Presi-
dent and for him to make the
race without resigning his gov
ernsrship. II he were defeated,
he would continue as Governor
until the expiration OF his pres
ent term.
COP Must Choose.
II he were elected President, he
would move out of the ofice of
Governor, and in the event of a
Democratic victory for Lieutenant
Governor, Mr.. Dewey would then
be succeeded In Albany by a
Democrat. The Republicans will
have to make up their minds
whether they would prefer to
have Mr.. Dewey in the, White
House at the price of having a
Democrat in the Governors
chair in New York-provided q
Democrat wins in the November
race.
Ordinarily, the election Of a
Lieutenant Governor, even Of
New York, in an OH year,
would not cut much figure. But
under all the circumstances, the
New York election may prove
more interesting than the elec-
ton Of a Governor in New
Jersey, in Kentucky or in Mis-
sissippi, the only three States
In which gubernatorial elections
will be held this year.
Both sides will make strenuous
efforts to win in this New York
tight, probably far out OF proper
ton to the choice of a Lieuten-
ant Governor. Gov. Dewey
already has indicated he will
campaign for the Republican
nominee, expected to be State
Senator Joe r. Hanley presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate.
The Democrats already are talk
ing about getting President
Roosevelt to make a speech or
two for their candidate when
the time comes.
Nominations Tuesday.
The nominations of the candi-
dates will be made next Tues
day by the Republican and
Democratic State Committees.
The Republicans appear to be
united on Senator Hanley. The
Democrats have a number of
candidates. State Chairman
James A. Farley has said he will
call the party leaders into con-
ference Monday, in New York,
to reach a decision on a candi-
date II possible, so that there
may be no bitter floor fight in
the State committee meeting
the next day.

This Changing World

midable that they ventured to
give battle to some Of our older
destroyers. They could outgun
and outspeed almost any mer-
chairman on the high seas, with
the exception Of the great liners
Queen Mary and Queen Eliza
beth.
Threat Was Critical.
The strategy adopted by. the
German Navy when some 800
suhmersibles were available to
hunt the Allied conveys in packs
made our situation extremely
precarious. True, the transports
carrying men across the Atlantic
were so strongly conveyed by bat
tleships, cruisers, destroyers and
aircraft carriers that the Nazis
could not touch them.
But the vessels taking over
supplies, ammunition and other
material needed by the Allied
forces paid q very heavy toll. Suf-
iicient vessels were not available
to escort these conveys in the
same strength as the troopships.
Until last March, the Nazis
were sinking more ships than We
were building. The lanes to Rus
sia and England were In serious
jeopardy. At one time 1t looked
as II our operations might be-
come seriously handicapped, not
by the lack Of trained men and
war material but by the absence
Of transportation necessary to
provide our fighting men with
materials.
New methods Of fighting the
submarines have won the battle
for us.
New Men Lack Skill.
Submarines are easy to build,
but their personnel must be per-
fectly trained Recent setbacks
are believed to have completely
disorganized the Nazis most pow-
erful weapon.
Allied authorities say there are
now less than 10 per cent Of the
original submarine officers and
crews on the U-boats. The dearth
OF commanding and executive
officers has compelled the Nazi
admirals to draw on the cleft
overs" Of aviation. Men who for
certain reasons are no longer
good for the Luftwa1e are being
given six months training on u
boats. II they live through three
or four campaigns, they are CIV
en- q command.
These men are bold and cour-
ageous enough, but they lack the
skill OF the specialists who were
aboard the subs until six months
ago.
The crews are a motley gath
ering. Some 80 per cent are regu-
lar naval men. OF these, not
more than 10 per cent are the old
submarine hands" The others
are men who have been pressed
into service.
Among captured personnel We
have found Austrians and Poles
and political prisoners who have
been given the choice between q
concentration camp or subma-
rine duty. It cannot be said that
their morale actually Is low. The
officers continue to be arrogant
and cocky; the crews are much
less SO. The crash dive opera
tions are much slower than In
the past and the gunnery Of the
surfaced submarine is less ef1ec-
tive.
But what Is more important is
that the professional pride has
disappearing from all but the
handful of "old hands" who
served in the earlier stages Of
the war.
