The Great Game of Politics
Senator Taft Seen Serving Useful Purpose
In Proddinq Davis on owl Activities

ago he was called up after A rather
lnnocuous broadcast and roundly
cursed by member of the White
House circle now holding Job in
the OWI-which slowed him down
a good deal.
Adding to these things the pleas
ant little habit of the President of
telling the correspondents at his
press conference what he thinks
they should make their lead" or
play up plus the fact that the
administration is saturated with
earnest fourth termers who, war or
no war, are determined not to sink
back into the obscurity from which
they came and which surely will en-
velope them again when the Roose-
welt regime is over-it is not sur
prising that those who dissent from
the administration policies should
feel at disadvantage In reaching
the public eye and ear.
Silent encouragement"
The truth. of course, is that the
Republicans and anti-New Deal
democrats are particularly sensitive
at this time because of the approach
OF the 1914 campaign and the open-
ness withs which the fourth term
movement is being promoted with
the same sort of silent White House
encouragement that was given the
third-term movement.
So, while Mr.. Davis NAV be as in
nocent As the well-known newborn
babe. there undoubtedly is some
foundation for Republican appre-
hension that taxpayers money NAV
be spent on furthering certain politi-
cal purposes.
Mr.. Davis will not consciously do
this himself, but there are people in
his organization who would do it like
shot If they got the chance, and
think they were being very noble
and patriotic in doing so, too.
Therefore, it serves a sound pur-
pose to prod Mr.. Davis once in a
while so that he will keep his eyes a
little wider open for that sort of
thing. He has conceded that in one
instance-the Victory Magazine
some "indetensible" stuff got by him.
And "commandeered" was the right
word.
Calling Mr.. Taft's remark bunk
does not make it so. 1t is bunk to
deny it.
Evening star., 1943-03-19


Senate itself, from a bipartisan
group, it is in no sense an ad-
ministration measure foisted
upon the legislators. But since
the resolution represents q move
on the part of it's trainers to
collaborate actively in what has
been apparently the foreign pol
icy of the United States, a bless
ing from the administrator was
to be expected.
1t has been said that the Presi-
dent fears repetition of Wilson's
fate. with the result that again
any possibility OF creating an in
ternational order with American
collaboration would be sabotaged.
Senator Balls resolution is an
attempt to prevent just this. As

the conclusion Of agreements, but
1t supports the hands of the ad-

lish temporary administrations
for Axis-controlled areas as
these are Occupied by United Ma
