At any rate, Mr.. Wallace be-

aries" term of opprobrium in
the mouths Of those who insist
emily close their eyes to the reali-
ties and sufferings of the world
we live in, and who apparently
believe that vision" is synony-
nous with foolishness.
Actually, since there has been
very little vision among the lead
ers of the world from 1918 to the
present, We have seen a fantastic
amount of foolishness. Vision is
the power to see. II people can
not see, or will not see, we find
ourselves in our present state OF
war and revolution.
What Mr.. Wallace does see is
that unless the peoples of the
world are offered new lease on
freedom and security, unless we
can chain war, maintain full en-
ployment and create a more vital
and universal democratic culture,
the war-as a taxidriver is sup
posed to have remarked-will
last a lot longer than the dura-
ton. And Mr.. Wallace is, I be-
lieve, prophetic in his apprehen-
sion that if we fail, the period
following the war may be more
disastrous than the war itself.
Should Prompt Thought.
1t is, therefore, with respect
for Mr.. Wallace's one-man cam
paign to evoke a vision that we
should consider his plans. A
worldwide war involving every
sea, continent and island, in
which millions have already per-
ished and astronomical wealth
been destroyed; a war which has
bathed the globe in sweat, blood
and tears, and q war which is
the second within a single gen.
eration-if indeed its not already
a 30-year war and merely a con-
tinuation OF the first-such a war
demands that we reconsider our
national and international, So
cial, political and economic be-
havior.
Mr.. Wallace proposes a world
federation for purposes OF mutual
protection and mutual economic
collaboration. In this world fed
Grafton he wants to see regional
units organized, recognizing that
various regions of the globe have
special ties and special problems.
But he only names two: The
Pan-American and the European.
He does not mention nor take, :
into account the great region of
the Far East, nor the colonial
problem. BY implication, he
seems to consider Russia as a
unit, and the British Empire as
unit.

The Great Game of Politics
Ignoring Hoover's Special Ability Might Be
Foctor in Loss Of Faith in Roosevelt

to every thoughtful person. Here he
Is. willing, able, vigorous, deeply
patriotic, the only living ex-Presi-
dent and the one really experienced
man in the country in these mat
ters. Yet neither his aid nor his
advice is sought. He is completely
ignored.
No one doubts that Mr.. Hoover is
capable OF making great contribu-
ton to the war effort, but he is not
permitted to contribute anything.
He is barred, blacklisted, banned. If
there is any reason for this save the
personal prejudice of the President,
no one has suggested it.
Blacklisted in Capital.
1t really is an almost incredible
performance, in the face of which
it is difficult, indeed, to maintain
that Mr.. Roosevelt In a time of war
puts the national interests ahead
of his personal dislikes, or is able
to remove rancor from his heart.
When it is recalled that 10000, 900
people voted for Mr.. Hoover in 1882,
that he has worldwide reputation
and recognized. talents for organi-
zation, perhaps the manner in which
he has been blacklisted. in Wash
ington may account for some of
that loss of faith which makes Mr..
Clapper so apprehensive. One would
say that If national unity were his
aim, Mr.. Roosevelt has not gone
the right way about achieving it.
1t would have been a most effec-
tive move toward both unity and
competence If months ago the
President had called Mr.. Hoover to
Washington, assigned him to the
job for which he is particularly
equipped and given him the full
authority to do it. Knowing the way
he feels about Mr.. Hoover, that
would have been an evidence of
presidential bigness calculated to
increase faith.
Had that been done, many Of the
things now being said in the coun-
try about the Presidents insistence
upon running the war with only
the men he likes in the key posi-
ton could not be said. In that
event, articles about the people
losing faith might not have to be
written by his friends.
Perhaps it is not too late yet.
For one thing, Mr.. Hoover is still
available, but the radical New Deal
ers become enraged at the mere
suggestion OF his name and start
throwing bricks. Unless the whole
administration frame Of mind
could be changed, his presence here
probably would create such friction
and bitterness as to offset the mani
lest advantages.
1t is too bad that this should be
so, but perhaps some other means
OF restoring faith had better be
tried. There are plenty of others.

Cartwright Joins Army

Of ends that are bigger than he or
his administration, Mr.. Roosevelt is
urged to leave nothing undone to
regain the confidence of the country
so that the task that destiny has
lodged in his care can be carried
forward"
Coming not from one of the Presi-
dents critics but from an avowed
admirer, this is significant. Signifi-
cant, too, is the fact that no concrete
mention as to why the people have
lost faith is made except to suggest
that perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt missed
an opportunity in not making better
use of Wendell Willkie.
1t does seem that other reasons for
the situation which this distin-
guished liberal columnist deplores
might be found without singing out
as examples the willing and COM
petent individuals whom the Presi-
dent has failed TO use. Plenty such
other reasons exist, but If we are
to deal in personalities there is a
better example than Mr.. Willkie-
to wit, Herbert Hoover.
Experience on Record.
Exactly what kind Of an executive
Mr.. Willkie would make If placed at
the head Of war rationing or regu-
lation agency is not known. But
what kind Mr.. Hoover would make is
known not only in this country but
everywhere else-because, 1t is a
matter of record.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Hoover is not
free from faults. He makes mis-
takes. Certainly he does not radiate
personal charm. He has q poor
radio voice and he Is neither a wise
cracker nor a first-name singer.
Also, he is glum of visage, unsmiling
and poor politician. But, 1t is
necessary neither to revere him nor
even to like him to concede that he
has qualities and experience which
would be of very great value to the
Nation now and which are not being
used at all.
The most bitter Hoover hater will
hardly contend that, in the matter
of price regulation, food rationing
and food distribution, Mr.. Hoover is
not the most experienced man in
the country. On these matters he
is concededly the expert with more
training, more knowledge and more
reputation than any one else.
Yet, after many months of delay,
when the President finally estab-
lished price administration, a food
administration and a relief adminis-
traitor, Mr.. Hoover, the outstanding
authority, was treated as though he
did not exist. A New Deal econo-
mist, who messed things up very
badly before resigning, was put in
one place and an amiable Indiana
New Dealer, who does not know how
to start, has been given the food job.
Already the confusion is such that
some of the Presidents own friends
are pointing out the obvious fact
that one man should handle price
regulation, food rationing and food
production. In other words, they
advocate single-headed control in
stead Of divided authority.
When this situation is considered
the name Of Mr.. Hoover must occur

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana has announced that he
will move for a thoroughgoing
Senate investigation OF lease
lend transactions to date, and
Senator Butler, Republican, Of
Nebraska has said he will COL
laborate to the same end.
A basic contention of these and
other Senators is that the
United States, in addition to de-
fraying its own rapidly rising
war costs, has accepted much
more than it's share Of the
United Nations overall financial
burden.
Spending Estimates.
One congressional estimate,
which may or may not be accu-
rate, holds that in comparison
with projected American Gov
erpmental outlays Of $50, 900, ,000,-
900 in this fiscal year and $780,
O00, 0,000, 900 next year, annual ex-
penditures Of other nations are
running as follows: All of the
British Empire combined, a lit
tie more than $4,000 O0O, 900;
Germany, perhaps, $50 900 ,000,-
600; Japan $4,000, ,000, 900; all Of
Europe $50, ,000, ,OO0, 900.
Another Congressional conten-
ton is that while the broadest
Presidential discretion in allot-
ment of war supplies either to
our own forces or our Allies may
be justified during the fighting,
after-war distribution of Ameri-
can aid, which the present act
and agreements already consum-
mated clearly envision, is a mat
ter OF. Congressional policy-mak-
ing. 1t is recalled in this con-
nection that nearly half OF the
debts of the World War, owed to
the United States, were con-

Capitol Sheep and Goats
Roosevelt to Get Line on New Congress
With Bid to Extend Leose-Lend Authority

score has been heightened by the
proposal Of Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles, supported
and amplified by Herbert Hoover,
that a long period be allowed for
international recovery and re-
adjustment before final peace Is
made. This, it is conjectured,
might permit the President to
extend his extraordinary war
powers indefinitely by merely re-
framing from proclamation that
the war had ended.
Also, the point is raised that
the war in Europe may end in
whole or in part long before
Japan is finally beaten, with an
effect Of requiring determination
of war and after-war policies at
one and the same time.
Forecast of Attitude.
A forecast of the Congressional
attitude on these issues was pro-
vided when the House Ways and
Means Committee last month
summarily pigeon holed the
Presidents request for authority
to set aside tariff and immigra-
ton laws In aid of the war effort.
1t is even questionable whether
the new Congress, with its
largely increased conservative
membership, will extend the
basic authority of the President
to enter into reciprocal trade
agreements with foreign nations,
which, like the Lease-Lend Act,
expires by statutory limitation
next June.
Congressional dissentients con-
tend that there is nothing isola-
zionist in insistence on Congress
sional reclamation of its Consti-
tutional powers.
According to the Presidents
December II lease-lend report,
$7496, 900, 900 had been expended
for goods and services in aid OF
foreign nations, as against $l8,-
410,0O0,000 Of lease-lend appro-
priations. In addition to this
sum, $41,116,65o, 900 appropriated
by Congress for the Army, Navy
and Maritime Commission since
Pearl Harbor are subject to trans
Ter for most If not all of the
purposes embraced in lease lend.
Deprived of this and his recip-
rocal authority, the President
would be compelled to go to Con-
gress with each item of interna-
tional agreement, and past ex-
perience has shown this to be an
exceedingly slow, painful and un-
productive process.
The saving feature from the
Presidents standpoint may be
that he already has entered into
lease-lend agreements with %
nations, embracing most of the
anti-Axis world, which will stand,
even if the Lease-Lend Act is re-
pealed. until June 80, 1916. Also
there is a great number of re-
ciprocal trade agreements on the
books, most of them presently in
active, but subject to being busted
of and reinstated when the
war is over, without reference
