= lampooning the occupants OF
the White House includes Faia
shifting for Dewey-down a rat
hole.
Which prompts the reflection
that Dewey's biggest liabilities are
his own supporters. who seem to
delight In showing him up.
Every time Dewey trims his
moustache and his sails and tries
to prove he's almost as good as
Roosevelt. along comes Bricker
denouncing the New Deal and
promising Dewey will undo all the
good Roosevelt has done.
When Dewey pitches some woo
at labor, every anti-union ena-
ployer and every labOr-baiting
newspaper shouts, "Hurray for
our side. we'll sure stop this cod
ding Of labor and put the unions
In their place"
Dewey says "me too." when
Roosevelt talks OF winning the war
and international collaboration for
lasting peace-and the Chicago
Tribune, NY. Daily News and
Hearst press add to their daily
doses of isolationism. defeatism
and United Misunderstanding. vote
for Dewey, he's our man."
Dewey tries to make a noise like
a New Dealer himself at times;
says he'll do almost as much as
Roosevelt to retain and expand
New Deal social gains; promises
to keep Roosevelts military lead
ers: and even hints he might like
to keep Cordell Hull.
The sincerity Of such profes-
slons might be more evident,
however, n Dewey would carry
them one step further by coming
out for keeping tho Commander
in-Chlef too.
For Pres. Roosevelt Is the key
stone of the whole structure OF
New Deal social gains. victorious
military strategy. and a foreign
policy for world peace and
prosperity.

Despite Deweys double-talk. the
real choice in these elections Is
not between Roosevelt and an
aspiring substitute or rather
splotchy carbon copy OF the
original.
It Is between two dlametrical-
" opposed programs for the war
and postwar periods, whose diff
ferences Dewey simply tries to
gloss over for catching
purposes.
Roosevelt, along with his military
advisers and the leaders Of the
other United Nations. has devised
the grand strategy that Is leading
US to final victory.
His removal as Commander-in-
Chief Is ardently desired by all
the shady pro-fascist elements that
trail along behind Dewey. Even
