NOW IL is all clear. The
~ erican Labor Party
which was organized to provide
this country a labor party akin
TO the British one, has now been
taken over by the Communists.
The ALP never got beyond the
state of New York and there
only garnered enough votes TO
blackmail both the Republican
and Democratic parties into
putting some of its members on
their tickets in return for en-
dorsements Of the older parties
candidates. And there have been
other considerations for these
endorsements not openly nego-
tiated or publicly discussed. But
now that era is ended because
the Communists have taken
over. They won at a primary
election; their ownership of the
ALP is legal. Any Republican
or Democrat who accepts an
ALP endorsement accepts a
Communist endorsement and
stands forever marked, for bet
ter or for worse, as satisfactory
10 the Communists. 1t is all
clear.
This transaction was put over
by the Machiavelli of the New
Deal. Sidney Hillman, in part

IN VISITING aviation plants
Il in recent weeks the writer
has become sharply aware Of
the manpoWer shortage.
The presidential memorandum
ordering review OF deferrnents
Of men under rs has added 10
the prevailing gloom. Produc-
tion is certain 10 suffer under
the pressure.
About one-fourth of the engi-
neers in aviation engine produce
ton are under q. more than
half the total are under 30.
This figure discounts the men
in 4-F.
Many of the processes in
volved - such as radar, cleo
tronlcs, synthetic rubber, aero
dynamics, etc.-are technically
new, and therefore fields for
young men.
TIVE conflict between army
l. and navy demands for more
men and the needs of war indus
tries is chronic, but il becomes
more critical as time goes on.
II used TO be said that no
nation can be equally strong on
land and sea, meaning that the
overall leadership must decide
where 10 invest their main re-
sources and their availab
labor. The saying needs to be
revised today 10 include the air.
No country, not even the
United States, can hope 10 be
maximally strong on land, at
sea and in the air without risk
ing what might be called man
power bankruptcy somewhere
along the line.
IN effect we have been fight
Il ing two separate wars-one
conducted by the army, the
other by the navy, and each Of
them drawing without limit
upon the "manpower capital" of
the nation.
There we have the key TO the
chaos in manpower. The situa-
ton will remain chaotic until
we decide, as a nation, whether
we expect TO win through the
largest possible armies and
navies or through superior sci
ence and technology. We can
not do both.
When additional hundreds of
thousands of skilled or train
able young men are drained off

THESE DAYS

of New York and master OF

politics is of the hop-skip-and'
Jump variety. he having be.
longed to even more political
parties than Wendell Willkle,
may have outsmarted himself.
He holds office by virtue of a
coalition between the Republic
cans and the American Labor
party, a political shotgun mar
riage. Now that he has SUBJ
iected himself 10 the Browder-
Hillman coalition, the Republic
cans cannot accept him.
In fact, there is renewed talk
in this town of Republican,
Democratic coalition for mayor
in the hope that the citizens
might get one who does not rep
resent the Communist minority.
IN ALL this, Sidney Hillman
Il plays his usual role of New
Deal opportunistic hatchet-man
who does what he is told 10 do,
which in this case was to try
10 fix il so that the 100000 or
100000 votes that the ALP
has developed in these parts can
be held in line for Mr.. Roose-
welt for a fourth term. If he
can do that in the election. il
will be very helpful. Hillman.
however. is so foxy in his ma
nipulations that even when he
comes clean. he is suspected OF
typical strategy. He won the
primaries, il is true, but he has
left behind him enough agony
and anger that II IS doubtful
that any one can mop up after
him With-anY measure of sue

Alabama or Mississippi.
I'VE contest was not between
Republicans and Demo
Gratis, but between New Deal
and anu-New Deal Democrats.
There aren't enough Republi-
cans in the district to elect a
congressman. What happened
was that thousands OF Demo
Gratis deserted Roosevelt in this
critical election and voted the
Republican ticket. Not enough
10 win, but enough 10 hurt.
Since statehood. the second
Oklahoma district has gone Re-
publican only once. This was
IN the Harding landslide OF 1920.
The name Of the winner in that
election. now forgotten. was
once a household word and
front-page news The winner
was Alice Robertson. the elderly
owner OF a cafeteria in Mus
kogee.
60 THE Democrats merely
~ held their own in the second
Oklahoma district last Tuesday.
But the manner IN which the
Democratic majority has been
whitfield down in recent cleo
tons is impressive and politi-
cally Of great significance.
Roosevelt carried this district
in 1892 BY 10000.
He carried it again in 1886
by 2l,000
He carried II in 1910. but by
only 1900. In Tuesdays special
election the Democratic candi-
date won by a slender margin
and lower percentage Of the
total vote. The loss Of this dis
trict means little TO the Re-
publicanS
The special election proves
beyond doubt that the trend

into the cotton states. and that
the border states. including
Oklahoma. probably will go
