the national conventions) it will
be folly for the President to
permit his name to appear on
this years ballots. On the other
hand, there are those who con-
tend that the only possible
chance of the Presidents re-elec-
ton will be the American peo-
pies reluctance to make a
change while the war is still UNI
decided in Europe.
1914 will make real history
for America and for the world.
Waging a national election in
the midst of a foreign war is
new to the United States. At
home we are confident that our
country can weather any domes-
tic storm. Yet we don't know
what impressions other coun-
tries principally our allies)
get about our internal squabbles.
The point is that we are obliged,
under our constitution, to hold
Presidential election in 1914
war or peace. Our fronts, di-
plomatic and military, will be
carried on regardless of the out
come. We will have the eyes Of
the entire world upon us. We
are experiencing one of the great
trials of democ-
1914 racy and we
Will Make must show the
Real History world that our
democratic way
of doing things will not only
work but will work BETTER
than any other type of govern
ment.
If, in tbs trial of democracy,
our people desire to change adj
ministrations it can be done
without adversely affecting our
foreign relations. If President
Roosevelt is given a fourth term,
it will be because the American
people want him to be in the
saddle while future peace plans
are being made. If the Presi-
dent declines to accept re-nomi-
nation or is rejected in Novem-
Der it will still be possible for
him to sit in on the peace con-
ferences.
Roosevelt sentiment today is
definitely on the downgrade. A
turn of events can easily sway
the pendulum in the opposite
direction and the President is a
master of political psychology.

It is not always so but it is very
definitely so when the issue at
stake reaches the depths of ma
tional feeling. Slow at times to
reach measurable analysis it

Public quently is so
Sentiment spontaneous that
Changing none escape the
reaction save
those who are too biased
Such is the case with COM
parison of public feeling re-
garding the Fourth Term for
President Roosevelt as it could
be felt a month ago and the re-
actions during January. On
every side people are discussing
the increasing possibility of a
Republican President. There
seems to be little doubt that the
President viii receive the Demo-
cratic nomination if he wants it.
And there is no question that he
wants it if there is not too much
doubt about the November ver-
dict.
Why the change in public SEN
timent? Most of it can be
attributed to the Presidents am
nual message in which he urged
universal service with flock OF
provisos and the reasons he ad-
vanced for universal service.
The American people have been
50 exasperated with strikes,
strikes and more strikes added
to threats Of strikes and the
tieup Of war activities that they
feel that had the President ac-
cepted the advice of those who
urged this legislation two years
ago our program would have
been further advanced and our
people would have been saved
much embarrassment. There IS
no question that the sentiment
of the people of every section OF
the United States is first for the
early successful conclusion OF
the war. Every other issue takes
a lesser place. And as more
casualty lists are published and
more men drafted into the
armed services the more notice
able this sentiment becomes.
People are beginning to feel
that our military fronts are in
good and well-trained hands -
that our home front needs dis
cipline and training. They are

1t is an odd commentary that
re existed an almost univer-
sal conviction that President
Roosevelt's experience and lead
ership were so much needed in
our world relationships that
domestic issues could wait for
solution. That feeling, how
ever, has changed. There are
men who have supported the
President on almost every issue
who have changed. There is
more political discussion today
than at any time since we en-
tered the war. There are men
who contend that unless the war

In the year 1911, the British par

enacted the National Insurance Act
patterned after the Bismark pro-
gram of State Socialism. Unem-
ployment Compensation was part Of
the National Insurance Act and
Lloyd George and Winston Church

Unemployment Act provides for q
tax on employers payroll and work
ers' pay and the government makes
a donation to the fund for every

The British employment fund was
built up during World War No. /,
as there was little, If any, unem-

rehabilitation took place and war

to vote money from the national
