A FTER TEN DAYS of Gov

ness of Montgomery Ward has
been turned back to the owners.
The election Of employees favored
the CLIO and the company will,
of course, be bound to bargain
with that union. An unfortunate
development of war powers is
involved in this case and the
Investigations started in Wash

Prestige of the settle

ter what else develops it is a
certainty that the President, his
War Labor Board and other
agencies involved in the dispute
will suffer loss Of prestige and
public confidence. This case
could and should have been
handled with much greater finesse
than was evidenced.
President Roosevelt is back in
Washington after a months va
cation in the South. Reports
are that he has been much bene-
fitted by the rest. 1t is good
for the public to know that the
Commander-in-Chief is in good
health and ready to meet the
great problems and decisions
sure to arise during the remain
der of this year. Whether .
man be pro or anti-Roosevelt
(and most people are one or the
other) he cannot help but recog-
nize the tremendous strain placed
upon the shoulders Of the Presi-
dent during these hard-pressed
years. 1t was following the
death of President Harding that
much was said about the job of
President being too severe ner-
vous strain on a man and some
suggestions were made looking
toward relieving him Of some Of
the burdens. Nothing was done,
however, and President Roose-
welt has been under a greater
strain than any of his predeces-
sors and has carried the burden
for more years. While he was
mentioning there were rumors
to the effect
President that his absence

cause he "was an i'll man." The
Presidents return allays the
fears Of those who were appre-
hensive and the condition of his
health gives encouragement to

With all the argument about
giving the service men the vote
results from the recent primary
indicate that the men themselves
are little interested in casting
their ballots. In the hope that
some of the hundreds of men in
the service who get our papers
will read this column / suggest
to them that they make certain
that they know how, when and
where to apply for a ballot to
cast in the general election. 1t
is highly possible that the serv-
ice mems votes will carry the
balance of power in November.
It is not for them to assume
that the folks back home will
"carry on" politically. It is for
them to take a hand in this
campaign. Before another Pres
