The One Exception

Thomas E. Dewey, governor of New York
and potential candidate for the Republican
nomination, continues silent on the latter point
deal during the course of his Lincoln's birth
day address. The terms he applied to the
present admins4r"4i ion leave no doubt of his
receptivity. All he needs, apparently, is a
nudge when nominations are in order. AL
though his approach is very different from
that of Wendell Willlie and Governor Bricker
of Ohio who are building fences with great
energy and volubility, it is possible to count
him, even now, among the gentlemen who
wish to be President of the United States.
Thus far, then, it is obvious that with one
exception the candidates are agreed that the
Roosevelt dynasty should be brought to an
end. And it so happens that the single ex-
ception carries more weight than the other
three combined. The reference is to the chief

Four years ago it was only at the last min

be a candidate. Probably he will use the
same tactics when Democrats are about to
assemble in Chicago to award the party S
nomination. Barkis, we may well believe, is
willing. And keen observers admit, too that
Barkis is very liable to win.

Hitler's COstliest Blunder

When the United States Jagged in taking
full advantage of it's aviation opportunity, aft
er the Wright brothers proved that flying in
heavier than air planes was possible and prac-
ticable, other nations succeeded where we fail
ed and with their success felt deep contempt
for u.s. Germany in particular looked down
upon us in the years following the former
World war, so that when Adolf Hitler came
along with his great rabble-rousing talent and
became the chosen agent of German militar-
lists he proclaimed us a nation of softies, in
capable of understanding the realities, senti-
mentalists and billiards. So convinced was
he that he could conquer Europe and rule
the world before the United States could be
regeared to oppose him, he did not hesitate
to invade Poland and precipitate this global
conflict, firm in his belief that with the sur
rendered British navy he could invade and
conquer America while we were still wonder
ing what to do to stop him.
It is true that we were not quick to accept
his challenge in his years of preparations for
war. It is true that we Jagged behind Ger

The Shadow OF Coming
Events

How true it is that coming events cast
their shadow before. The Benedictine mon
astery on Mt. Casino is a case in point.
The Germans have turned it into fort.
They have turned it's windows into enbra-
sures through which machneguns and cannon
are pouring their missiles upon the Allied
forces moving on Rome.
The buildings which played their part in
perpetuating learning in the darkest period
of history are converted to the purposes of
war. They have made it a military target.

The Allies would gladly save it. There is
no wish to destroy it. But the enemy must

voluntarily.
If this is the state of affairs there, how
much more likely is it that the monuments
in Rome must be battered to pieces also,
not because they deserve destruction but that
the civilization they typify may be preserved?
Their passing will be a great loss to the
world but not 50 great as the destruction
of civilization which the Germans seek to &C
complish.

When the ceiling was imposed on wheat at the
turn of the year, speculative attention shifted
to cotton, and it was broadly expected that
cotton would rally sharply.
However, such buying interest a S been
largely offset by two factors: % reduced
level of cotton consumption, and ca uncer-
tainty regarding the effect of an early ter
mination of war in Europe. Total supplies
of cotton appear generous in terms of pres
ent consumption, which is about 10 per cent
below a year ago. and any revamping of
Government buying is likely to bring some
temporary price unsettlement.
One factor that is drawing more interest
is the large amount of 1913 cotton going into
loan stocks. The total of 81 million bales
thus far compares with 2.3 million year
ago. and million two years ago. Loan rates
this season are based on 80 per cent of parity
on August l, 1943 The parity base has con-
tinued to rise, and prospects are that 1914
loan rate will be about one cent higher than
at present Farmers using their cotton for
collateral are practically guaranteed against
loss, but can take profits arising from an
advance in prices. The effect of this heavy
loan movement is to cut down free sup
plies and thus lessen pressure on prices.
