he shows that he has strapped

For the first time. President
Roosevelt has been set on the
defensive and il will be noticed
that the speeches and the propa-
ganda of the New Deal press

OF contemplating.
Dewey's proposition. stated
with such modesty as is possible
in any man offering his services
for the greatest job in the world
and arguing his qualifications in
detail, is that President RooSe-
welt has turned in a spectacular
failure in domestic management
and that he could do the Job
better.

and TO suggest, on the basis
of past performances. what Mr..
Roosevelt would have in store
for them, Dewey has sounded
again the startling challenge
that he voiced in his acceptance
speech in Chicago. do we have
TO have a war to get jobs ,"
The retort TO the diSparage-
ment of Dewey because of his
youth presents itself in the
recent photographs of the PreSi-
dent, revealing a haggard man
who has aged much in the last
two years.
Although Dewey doubtless
would have invited the COMPARE
son anyway, the New Deal
propagandists relieved him of
any unpleasant responsibility
for calling attention to the diff
ference. by their derision of him
as a bashful youth.

CUDDENLY Senator Truman comes out in an :
~ article, tries Kimme and Short and pro-tl
nounces them guilty. He lends strength to the I,
story that Kimmel and Short were not even speak
ing to each other.
Admiral Kimmel replies that the charge is
absolutely false He pleads in letter to Senator
Truman:
Until am afforded hearing in open court
it is grossly unjust to repeat false charges against
me when, by official action, have been persist
emily denied an opportunity to defend myself pub
licly. The real story of the Pearl HarbOr attack
and the events preceding it has never been told.
This has not been my decision. For more than
two and half years have been anxious to have
the American people know all the facts"
The worst of it is that Senator Truman is a
nominee for vice president. He might be elected
and it is not impossible that he might be president
when the findings of the court martial are sent up
to the president for approval. He has found the
men guilty without WAITING FOR TRIAL or
hearing them or their witnesses
THE Army and Navy Journal an ancient and
most reputable periodical says Senator Tiu-
man is most unfair not only to Kimmel and Short,
but also "to the naval court of inquiry and the
army board of investigation probing the case"
1t goes on unfortunately Pearl HarbOr has
become an issue in the presidential campaign, the
more so because MIR. Roosevelt is running for re-
election as commander in chief as well as Pres-

charged with responsibility for the disaster"
