FOURTH TERM ACCEPTANCE
SPEECH OR SPEECHES?

When and if Franklin D. Roosevelt
delivers his acceptance speech, or ac-
knowledges his nomination for the fourth
time after the Chicago convention which
convenes at Chicago on July 10, will he
accept all three nominations in one
speech or one document? Why three?
Already he has been nominated by two
blocs in the fourth term party and the
convention in Chicago, known as the
New Deal convention among the Jack
sonian and Jeffersonian democrats like
Jim Farley and Al Smith, is rating third
in order of convening
First bloc to nominate was the Earl
Browder communist wing of the fourth
term contingent Then along came Hill
man and his CIO Political Action Com
mittee to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt by
unanimous action by Hillman, director
of that power bloc and keeper of the eX
chequer containing $2,000,000 for fourth
term Observation-Disclosures own words
for the amount.
Hillman and Browder have stolen the
show from the announced Chicago ratltl-
cation convention. In fact Browder stole
the show from Hillman as the CIO cam
paigner had planned to be the first. But
Browder couldn't wait. He had been raj
lying his hosts every moment after he
was pardoned from Federal Prison by
the President to get things going. He
disbanded his Communist party. true,
but he substituted a free-lance sort OF
convention and his nominating delegates
have not adjourned. They went from
delegate to emissary and are infiltrating
into every organization where there Is
possibility of influencing bloc of votes.
And so Hillman had to be content with
being bloc Number to make the noml-
nation. Likewise the Chicago conclave
the 18th must register as number three
in the procession.
Can the nominee cover all three ac-
ceptances in one speech?
Will Boss Hague and Boss Kelly ac-
cept anything less than an acceptance
speech alone for the Chicago bloc? Will
Browder be content with that or will he
expect and demand something specific!
And will Hillman expect something spe-
cial for his money?
We can only wait

FINLAND COMES OUT
WITHOUT ANY FRIENDS

Of the smaller nations in Europe, FIN
land at the moment occupies the least
favorable position both as to the rest OF
the war and in the peace period. Her
leaders have played fast and loose game
until the nation has lost the respect OF
friend and foe alike. A staunch, unmov-
able neutral stand from the start would
have been far better than the vacillatlng
policy which has brought her to such low
estate. A year or less after Hitler IN
vaded Russia left no doubt that he could
not conquer the Muscovites and the
signs were so plain it was evident to any
observer that Finland nor any other OF
the Baltic nations could lend enough aid
to turn the tide back against Stain.
Always before, with an ear attuned to
advice and the good will of the United
States, Finland for some reason became
deaf to this source Of help and now the
long-delayed break at Washington with
the Helsinki regime becomes the last
straw. Finland today has no friend
among the nations, big and little Even
among the Balkan states, always tricky
and uncertain and unpredictable, there
are good chances for proper treatment
: and representation when the settlement
agreements are considered.
Perhaps the Helsinki statesmen had
gone too far to decide against the axis
recently when that final move was made.
1t is now quite clear Germany was spool
ing when Hitler won Finland's decision
to be an all-out ally of Berlin on the
pledge of giving material military help

A LESSON FOR TOKYO
Christian Science Monitor)

(Nn1lSClan SCle0C6 MOlllIOID
The physical damage inflicted on the
japanese Navy in the air attacks between
the Marianas and the Philippines ac-
counts for only part of the Navys graft
fication over the outcome. 1t demonstrate
ed that the japanese lack sea power to
prevent American landings even in the
inner ring of their bases, with the besleg-
ed garrsons unable to call on Tokyo for
SuccOr.
This was illustrated more conclusively
than is generally realized. for the segment
of the japanese navy sent against U. S.
forces at Saipan was probably calculated
to be superior in strength. In the navy
the organization of fighting force be-
gins with units, expands into groups and
groups are in turn organized into task
forces. The enlargement of this is the
task fleet.
For nearly week the japanese had an
opportunity to study the composition and
strength of the T. S. task fleet attacking
Saipan. The fleet they decided to risk
against the American forces was, it can
be assumed, superior in Nipponese eyes.
And four or more battleships, with an
equal number of carriers and host of
supporting vessels, is no puny fleet in
any navy.
Precisely what the enemy ran into we,
of course, do not know, but that the A
merican navy now has nearly 100 car
riers available in the Pacific is publish
ed fact; that the American navy uses
more than 1000 carrier-based planes in
some of its Pacific strikes is also known.
1t would appear that the japanese
launched between 400 and 500 planes at
the American ships and land forces at
Saipan. At least $50 were Immediately
lost. This left the japanese task fleet
without adequate air cover and the
American carrier planes lashed back.
The range was extreme, and the main
body of the enemy fleet slipped away
after being damaged to an extent that
we have no way of assessing.
But it did not escape to its lair in For
mosa without learning that the Pacific
is rapidly becoming an American lake,
and that the day is nearing when the
grand fleet must fight to keep its life
lines to the south open, or let Japan be
economically strangled at home even
while its armies are on distant exCur-
sions in China and Burma.

NAZIS OVERLOOKED
THEIR HAND

Riverside Daily Press)
Even the Germans make mistakes,
which they could easily have avoided. The
latest was at Cherbourg, where appar-
entity they took for granted frontal
attack by sea. Forgetting that Cherbourg
has a rear as we'll as a front, they were
not prepared for the drive up the penin-
sula that cut off their troops.
Cherbourg is Singapore over again.
There, too. the defense expected sea
attack, whereas the capturing japanese
approachd it through the jungles in the

blunder was evidently overlooked by the
