BY HELEN LOMBARD,

The foreign representatives in
Washington are fascinated kibitzers
at the great American political
game.
The next Presidential election is
the favorite topic of conversation
among the foreign diplomatic and
other missions stationed in the
Capital. If the next race is Roose-
velt-Willkie contest. the interna-
tional observers will be perfectly
satisfied. The only issue which
really interests them-the extent to
which the United States will under
write reconstruction of the post
war world-will in their minds be
settled favorably If either leader is
the occupant of the White House.
In the minds of some observers
here, the success of ME-. WILKES

tion that he will be the inevitable
choice of the Republican party.
Others contend the enormous sue
cess of his book denotes nothing
more than the increasing curiosity
of the American public about what
goes on in the rest of the world.

translated into a number of foreign

Nine. Chang Kai-shek, who is a
fascinating combination of shrewd-
ly practical and poetical idealist,
enthusiastically underwrites Mr..
Wilkes international notions, but
finds that his enthusiasm some
times carries him to the borders of
naivete.
When Nine. Chang was a White
House guest, President Roosevelt
took occasion to tease the distin-
guished visitor about the extent to
which her personality had affected
Mr.. Winkie. The President re-
marked jokingly that in his en-
thusiasm after his return from
China, Mr.. Willkie was prepared to
turn over to China all the military
power of the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt ended this little
homily by observing gracefully that
Mr.. Wilkes reactions were quite
understandable In view of the effect
Nine. Chang produced on all those
who came in contact with her.
China's First Lady smiled disarm-
ingly and observed that Mr.. Willkie
was delightful gentleman who had
sometimes amazingly adolescent inn
pulses.

from outside the ranks of the
United Nations is well known. But
all applicants must realize that
some tangible political or mill
tary gain must accrue to the
donor, the United States Gov
ernment.
AS Gen. Franco saw it. where
did the American counterpart
come in? A very curious light
is thrown on that subject by q
talk the Spanish dictator had
recently with prince Of the
Bourbon family, cousin Of Don
Juan, pretender to the Spanish
throne.
The prince was trying hard to
convince Gen. Franco that, with
the prospects Of an Allied victory
becoming brighter and brighter,
the immediate restoration Of the
throne was In the national in
terest. He kept arguing that in
no other way could the cause OF
social conservatism in Spain
enlist British and American
support.
Franco Opposed Change.
Gen. Franco demurred. He
firmly asserted that the men who
wished to re-establish q mon
srchical regime would first have
to overcome his opposition.
Moreover, as to the possibility
for the regime now In existence
to win the assistance Of the Lon
don and Washington govern
ments, he had strange opinions
to express.
He did not believe that the
days of the Nal regime were
numbered yet. But, assuming
that the Allies we're going to
win, there would be no reason
for him to despair Of ingratiating
his dictatorship with the West
ern powers. Both the British and
American Governments, directly
the hostilities come to an end,
would find themselves face to
face with social upheavals OF
such a magnitude and violence
as to have to look for salvation
