The Great Game of Politics
Anti-Roosevet StoIworts Within Party May Trim
Election Chances by Post-Convention Dishormony

and to be truly effective the favorite
sons should unite on a single can
didate.
Their difficulty is That there is
none such available-none on whom
all the Roosevelt delegates
could agree. And even if, recogniz-
ing the strength of the opposition,
Mr.. Roosevelt at the last minute
concluded it would be unwise to
force his nomination, he still would
have veto power over the conven-
ton. He might not be able to nomi-
nate the man of his choice, but he
certainly could prevent the nomina-
ton of any one personally distaste-
full to him.
All of which makes the prospect
excellent for a bitter and confused
convention, with the odds favoring
the nomination of the President
over the protest of a large section
of his party.
With full appreciation of this
situation, the strategy of the anti
fourth-term Democrats is not clear
except about one thing. And that
is that under no circumstances will
the Roosevelt nomination be made
unanimous, as it was four years ago.
In Chicago, yielding to the pleas
of the Roosevelt leaders, the oppo-
sition then gave up their last-ditch
stand and permitted the President
to come out Of the convention with
what on the surface seemed a
united party Endorsement, with the
breach between the factions healed.
Unless there is great change in
disposition, there will be no healing
OF the breach next time.
To Enhance COP Chances.
There appears to be a settled de-
termination to have no viva voce
vote in which the noes of the oppo-
sltlon will be lost in the thunder of
the packed galleries. On the con-
trary, record vote in which the op-
position will be fully recorded will
be the final vote. In brief, Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination will be pro-
tested to the last by more than one
third of the convention, which will
refuse to fall into line.
This is the plan-and the only
plan so far-of the opposition. But
1t is a plan which, if carried out,
will damage greatly the Roosevelt
chances of election and enhance
those of the Republican candidate.
1t will carry the split in the party
beyond the convention and serve
notice to the country that there are
millions of Democrats who decline
to concede Mr.. Roosevelt's indis-
pensability; who believe that the
effort to extend his stay in the
White House to Is years is indie
feasible and that the war can be
won more quickly and the national
interests better served by the cleo
ton OF new President.

get degree by studying any
thing he wants to, leaving out
basic courses in mathematics
and even English composition
and expression, has made it
necessary for the Army to re-
educate graduates Of some Of
our leading universities.
The Army has had to teach
people how to add, subtract,
speak and figure, how to handle
complicated weapons, and even
how to tie necktie-for the great
draft brought into camps thous-
ands who had never worn one.
1t has also had to educate mil
lions about the war itself; It's
causes and why we fight it.
Adopt Movie as Educator.
Confronted with this problem,
the Army has discovered and
used what the school systems
have largely rejected: Namely,
the immense possibilities in the
movie. Here is an instrument
through which masses of men
are being taught, in the most
interesting way, actually how to
tie a necktie; actually how to
take apart, put together and
use rife, and the actual facts
about geography and politics as
the cause of war.
If. recently, I have had some
harsh words to say about the
film industry's war films, as Gre
ated for the public, it is because
other Aims, made for other pur-
poses, are so magnificent.
Three million American SOL
diers, in camps at home and in
barracks all over the world, al
ready have seen Aim not yet
released to the public. 1t was
made by Col. Frank Capra of
Hollywood for the United States
Army.
Mr.. Capra didn't have to worry
about the box office. He had to
solve tremendous problem: How
to present the entangled and
complicated history of this war,
with meticulous truth, and in
such a manner that the simplest
mind could grasp it, at the same
time making it so interesting that
soldiers would be fascinated. He
solved the problem with a film
which the most educated and in
formed person delights equally in
seeing.
Public Will See 1t.

several and is called Prelude to
War; The Army will release it

British Navy and the Raj were
doing their utmost to prevent
supplies from reaching Rommel.
The Nazi force itself was not
very great. But it had the sup
port of at least $4,000 Italians,
who, poor fighters as they were,
could be left to do some chores
and thus free more Nazis for
actual fighting.
We know today what the pub
lie did not know then, that in
spite of the vigilance and the
spirit of self-sacrif1ce of the
British airmen and sailors, Hitler
could have poured more troops
and supplies into Africa. Had
the Nazi high command sent 500
additional planes and another
10 divisions to Rommel. it is
questionable whether the Nazi
field marshal could have been
stopped at the Egyptian border.
But Hitler had concluded that
Russia was enemy No. l and de-
cided to overlook the African
front.
Whole Force Doomed.
Today the $4,000 Nazi troops
from the Afrika Korps and the
reinforcements sent from Eu-
rope are doomed. So are the
$4,000 or 10000 Italians who
were taken to Tunisia from
Tripolitania and Italy. While
some pockets might resist for a
short time, the Tunisian CAM
paign can be considered ended,
with a major disaster for the
Axis.
The fact the Allied Armies
were numerically far superior to
the forces of the enemy and that
we had absolute mastery of the
air does not enter into considera-
ton. Major battles are won by
strong superiority on the point
which is being attacked.
Hitler has lost Africa and is
now losing control over the Med
iterranean. 1t was lucky for US
that he and his general staff
considered that area OF no great
importance. 1t is known in COM
petent quarters here that Rom
mel went to Germany last sum-
mer trying to convince the
brains" of the May army to
send strong reinforcements to
shut off the Allies from the
Mediterranean.
Hitler's Main Blunder.
What reaction the military
men had to his pleadings is diff
f1cult to say. But there is strong
reason to believe that Hitler peri
sonally was so bent on pulveriz-
ing the Russian armies and get

March Exports Touch
$4,000, 900 for Record

The value of United States ex-
ports in March rose to 1891 900 900,
the highest monthly value on record,
the Commerce Department reported
today. The previous high was in
June, 1919, when exports reached a
value of 1923 900 900.
The March total exceeded the
January and February figures by
80 and 81 per cent, respectively. The
export totals. the Commerce De-
partment said, include lease-lend
shipments to the United Nations,
but do not cover supplies sent to our
armed forces overseas.
March imports amounted to $24s,-
900, 900, bringing the total Of imports
for the first quarter of 1943 to
Sill 100000, about $4,000. 900 less
than the import total for the same
period last year.

aides, all seem to indicate that Mr..
Roosevelt definitely has decided to
run again. Few of his friends have
any doubt about that.
Indeed. there is far less doubt
about the fourtn-term decision
now that there was about the third
term decision early in 1889 I'm
fortunately, what this means is that
from now out-and for some time
past-no policy, foreign or domes-
tic, can be or has been wholly free
from the thought of 1914 politics.
| That is an unpleasant truth and
not one beneficial to the national
interests. Nevertheless, it is the
truth-and so recognized in both
parties. Particularly is this recog-
nized by those Democratic leaders
who are in opposition There are
good many more of these than
there were four years ago and they
are far more intensely and irrevoc-
ably opposed.
Opposition More Formidable.
They agree that the draft" is
already under way and most of
them concede that with the weight
OF the Administration and the sup
port Of the city bosses, such as
Frank Hague of New Jersey, Ed
ward j. Kelly of Chicago and
Michael j. Kennedy of Tammany
Hall, Mr.. Roosevelt can be renomin-
ated for the fourth term as he was
for the third term But. they assert
the opposition in the convention will
be much more formidable and de-
termlned than last time.
Fewer States will indorse Mr.,
Roosevelts candidacy before the
convention. There will be manv
more unpledged and favorite-
delegations opposed to his candidacy.
Some think these favorite-son and
antl-Roosevelt delegations will total
pretty close to half the convention.
and contend that If the two-thirds
rule, which, ironically enough, was
abrogated in 1896 through the efforts
OF James Farley, now one of the
antl-Roosevelt leaders, were en-
forced. the President could not be
renominated again.
Favorite Sons Must Unite.
Be that as 1t may, the weakness
OF the anti-fourth term Democrats
In the convention is that. soon or
late, there must come a showdown

through the Aim industry to the
public in the middle of this
month.
But the industry is frankly
concerned about its reception. 1t
is feared that a picture which
entertained and educated 3,000,-
600 American soldiers will not
appeal to women. 1t is a 50-min-
ute firm; it has no love interest,
no mystery plot, and no popular
stars. 1t has, however, the
greatest villains and heroes of
our time-in person. And, above
all, its actors are the peoples of
the world. Except for about 100

taken from existing newsreels.
some of them captured from Axis
movie photographers.
But it is not a neWsreel pic
ture. 1t is a story-the story Of
a war, and of war that did not
begin at Pearl Harbor, but in
May, 1881, in Manchuria. 1t is at
the same time an essay, in geo.
politics. For alternating with
pictures of personalities. assem-
blies, armies and change of gov
eminent. of public uprisings and
counterrevolutions, we see on
maps the spreading Axis plot Of
world conquest. We see that there
has been a plan and strategy.
and we know why we are at war.
Pictures Enemy Truthfully.
I have higher opinion of
American women than the film
industry does. Col. Capra's pic
ture-the greatest novel of our
times-has the basic elements Of
every good film, one of which
is suspense. 1t has an exciting,
unfolding plot-the plot which
engulfs our lives.
The United States Army is to
be congratulated, also, on the
sincerity and honesty of this
film. The enemy is real and
terrifying enemy, but he is not
distorted. Nor is it film di-
rected against whole peoples. 1t
reveals that there were japanese
statesmen who fought against
this conspiracy of conquest, and
Germans and Italians who fought
against it-and paid with their
lives.
1t shows where the true align
ments are in this war, and it
also shows how formidable is the
enemy. 1t is so honest that,
unlike any other war film I have
ever seen, it could be shown In
any Axis country after the war.
Can Thus Teach History.
But if we can thus teach SOL
diers the history of this war. why
cannot we teach school children,
with the same techniques. the
history of America, and of the
world? Why can We not unfold
the history Of mankind before
the eyes of the child? Why can
We not, through the film, breathe
life into the dead bones of every
branch of education? The film
gives us the opportunity to bring
men Of genius to the remotest
village and even to a New York
high school.
Politics were made in ancient
times by handful OF men. To-
day they are made by masses of
people. And that implies a new
sort Of mass education.

This Changing World
Quick FolIowup Of Tunision Victory Seen
In Order to Dispose Of Hitler and Strike JOBS

Iln& 10 the caspian sea ana the
Caucasus that the Near and
Middle East appeared to him as
a minor matter which would take
care of itself after the whole Of
Southern Russia had fallen into
his hands.
Competent military quarters
regard this as Hitler's main
blunder
The Nazi high command, that
is to say, Hitler and his Eyes
men" of the general staff, not
only underestimate the Russian
power Of resistance but consid-
cred the African campaign as
sideshow which had publicity
Importance rather than q real
military value.
They were convinced that their
forces should not fight on two
fronts and refused to take care
of Africa because that would
have interfered with their plan
to end the Russian resistance
in 1912.
The show in Russia must start
all over again with the odds
heavily against the Nazis, regard
less of what intense preparations
they may have made for their
summer campaign. And in the
meantime they have lost their
hold on Africa and the Central
and Western Mediterranean. The
chances of the enemy losing the
Eastern Mediterranean this year
are good.
Japan Getting Stronger.
In some quarters it is pointed
out the German disaster in Africa
should be an object lesson to the
Allied high command in regard
to the Pacific. We are not I'M
derestimating the japanese po-
tential but cannot do much more
than We are doing; that is, hold
ing the enemy at bay.
Many observers point out that,
since the course Of the Allied
strategy has been definitely set
at getting rid of Hitler first, We
must necessarily maintain our
selves on the defensive in the Pa
cific and undertake only such
minor operations as will enable
us to hold on to what we have.
But the time element in the
Pacific is of great importance be-
cause, even if she does not think
1t advisable to start large-scale
operations soon, Japan is getting
stronger every day. She is per-
fecting not only her armies but
also the economy of the new en-
pire
Under these conditions many
observers are convinced that the
longer we delay, the harder our
fight in the Pacific will be. This
leads to the thought that Allied
operations against the European
continent must begin as soon as
possible.
If we waste more time worrying
over the enemy's islands in the
Mediterranean the effect of our
African victories will wear off
and might be offset by some
spectacular Nazi successes later
in the summer in Russia.
Observers are firmly convinced
that regardless of cost, the Allies
must endeavor to finish off the
European campaign as soon as
possible in order to turn against
Japan. Any delay and procrasti-
nation will make our fight in the
Pacific so much more difficult
and costly.
