where at all.
There Is yet another school of
thought on the Russian issue, and
this one might be called the "old sea
dog" school, phrase which was
born when Admiral Standley, our
Ambassador to Moscow, scolded the
Russians for being insuhciently
grateful for lease-lend. The "old
sea dog" school, which is a catch-all
for varying degrees Of hostility to
Russia, thinks we should handle the
Russians firmly, unsentimentally,
even harshly.
This is the school which tells Rus
sia that the road to better relations
with the United States is for her to
forget about the second front, to
give up the Balkan states, and to
declare war on Japan tomorrow
morning. Everything will then be
fine. for this school feels that the
easy and simple way to wipe out
conflict Of policies between Russia
and the United States is for Russia
not to have policies.
Has No Plans.
But when Russia begins to be a
bit OF an old sea dog herself, as when
she sets up her own Free Germany
Committee, without asking us, this
school goes into hopping fury. OF
course this school does not have any
plans Of its own for free Germany,
but 1t doesn't want anybody else to
have them, either. It demands that
we stand up firmly for our own
program, but is not very sure what
that program Is, or even whether we
ought to have one. It wants us to
be loudly in favorof something quite
indefinite.
In this setup, Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
treme slowness In reaching q po-
litical accord with Russia is clearly
playing into the hands Of the old
sea dog school. The Russian press
daily becomes more bitter. Mr.. Ilya
Ehrenburg now makes little jokes.
II our slowness leads Russia to take
unilateral action, the old sea dog
school will then demand unilateral
counter action. Clearly. the time
has come for kind Of leap ahead.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been feeling his
way. sometimes, when the vehicles
seem about to pile up on the road,
1t is only the man who can put his
foot hard on the gas, and make
speed, who is safe.

to Russia vary good deal, Of course.
Some do 1t with bitter look, some
with a fiattering word"
The Roosevelt school Of thought
on the question is in favor OF mill
tary partnership with Russia, Of sup
plying her with munitions, but it
also favors letting nature take. Its
course on the question Of political
relations, feeling our way slowly,
recognizing no instant obligation for
political agreement with Russia on
such western" questions as France,
Italy and, perhaps, Germany.
Relations Improvised.
Gin a sense the administration is
pulling back from final decisions,
and improvising on the question Of
our relations with Russia, very much
as 1t improvises and feels its way, on
a day-to-day basis, on the question
Of our relations with Italy. This
is the characteristic Roosevelt
method. Sometimes 1t leads to
moves Of great daring, as when we
decided, before we were at war, to
give material aid to Russia. But
sometimes 1t makes us look as If
We were standing still while the
parade passed by.)
The Willkie, or "One World, )"
school detests these uncertainties,
and desires to leap forward to a
mature, settled relationship with
Russia. 1t is impatient to get on
with the business Of living in the
rest Of this century. It knows that
Russia is going to be here after the
war, either as friend or enemy, and
1t votes for friend. While the Will
kie school may lack some of the
cautious qualities Of the Roosevelt
school, 1t has something that may
be even better and safer, and that is
purpose.
1t knows where 1t is going, while

From the military point Of
view, this would be understand
able. The Russians have forged

bases Of supply. These must be
reorganized. Red Stars state
ment that there are I'll Nazi

The Nazis are withdrawing

Wendell L. Willkie, standard
bearer in 1910, has his devoted
adherents. Gov. John w. Bricker
of Ohio has q considerable fol-
lowing also, but mainly in Ohio
itself and neighboring States.
Sentiment for Mr.. Dewey, on the
other hand, is found in States Of
the West, East and South and in
the border States.
1t is logical that this should be
SO. In the first place Mr.. Dewey,
as Governor of New York, holds
place which he won by a de-
cisive vote last year. OF all the
Republican possibilities he stands
in the most strategic position, for
New York is regarded as a sine
quo non so far as the election Of
Republican President is con-
cerned.
Rose From Defeat.
In addition. Mr.. Dewey has
risen from defeat, which he met
IN the gubernatorial race of 1898
and again when he made a bid
for the presidential nomination
In 1910. He captured the imagi-
nation of the people when he
made record for putting gang
sters and political hacks in jail
in New York County. He was
widely advertised as the attorney
for the people" In addition, he
has made fine record as Gov
ernor since 'he took Office last
January.
Gov. Dewey himself, however,
has stated unequivocally that he
is not and will not become a can
didate for the presidential nomi-
nation. He has gone even fur
ther and said he will step on any
effort made to line up delegates
to the national convention for
him.
Here again he is in q good po-
sition. He has become as much
OF a mystery man as Mr.. Roose-
welt was in 1910 when he declined
to tell any one whether he would
run for a third term. and as he
Is today. The Democrats will be
kept guessing about MIR. Dewey,
just as the Republicans were
guessing about Mr.. Roosevelt in
1910.
Mr.. Dewey is sincere in his
declaration that he will not be a
candidate for the presidential
nomination. Republicans who
are frequently mentioned for the
nomination have admitted this.
But, after all, the Republican Ma
tional Convention, when it meets

next summer, will make the selec.
ton Of a presidential nominee.
Could Not Decline.
II the convention should decide
that it wants Mr.. Dewey, and ac-
tually nominates him, he could
not decline; not If he hopes for
political preferment in the flu
ture; nor could any man, particu-
larly at such a time, turn down a
presidential nomination of one Of
the great political parties.
The late President Calvin
Coolidge, when he was still Pres
ident, was approached by a Re
publican member of Congress
who asked him If he would be a
candidate to succeed himself in
the 1928 election, and If not, why
not.
Mr.. Coolidge had been in the
White House since the death OF
President Harding in 1922. Mr..
Coolidge replied that no man
could remain in the White House
for more than eight years and
retain his popularity. President
Roosevelt is at present making
the experiment. Had it not been
for the disturbed condition in
the world, with the probability
that the United States would be
drawn into the war, he might not
have done so.
Even today, it has been said
IN many quarters that if 1t were
not for the war he could not hope
to be reelected again. If that
oe true, then Mr.. Coolidge's esti-
mate of the ability Of any man
to retain popular support is JUS
tilted.
The recommendation by War
Mobilization Director Byrnes that
politics and political discussions
be postponed until the fall Of
next year, when the presidential
campaign takes place, has much
justification, in view of the war
effort.
Politics Rolls Along.
But the American people, gen.
orally speaking, are able to dif-
ferentiate between the war effort
and domestic politics. Repubh-
cans as well as Democrats have
their sons at the front. Many Of
them have lost their sons, or
brothers or other relatives. All
OF them are as anxious to bring
about the defeat of the Axis
powers as the Democrats. When
1t comes. however, to domestic
issues like taxation and financing
the Government, to bureaucracy
and increased Capitalization Of
government In Washington,
there is a very different feeling.
Nor do the Republicans believe
that only one man in the coun-
try-Mr. Roosevelt-is capable of
carrying on the war effort as
President Of the United States.
The political game in this
country never really is adjourned.
We have a political Government.
Those who are out of power are
seeking to get in, and those in
power are seeking to retain that
power, year in and year out.
The supporters of President
Roosevelt are active today in
their campaign for his renomina-
ton, just as his opponents are
active against him. So, Mr..
Byrnes' call for a cessation Of

This would leave the Germans

Care Seen Necessary.
Under these circumstances It
would appear reasonable that
the Soviet high command should
decide to catch It's breath. Field
Marshal Timoshenko Il said TO

With more than 400 divisious

must be careful, particularly
since the Naxs do not show
any indication Of being demoral-

Hence, Premier Stain must
