Farley Steps Down

Nothing that has happened in the political
arena since the quadrennial shadow boxing
for the presidential nomination started has
been better calculated to make the welkin
ring that James A. Farley's resignation as
chairmen Of New York's Democratic State
Committee. -
In his announcement Mr. Farley gives his
business responsibilities as reason for the step,
Though he is very busy man, with many
obligations. there will be many among the
American people, especially members of the
political stove league, who will receive this
information skeptically. He's too much of a
politician to allow business to interfere with
his political activities, they'll tell you
Be this as it may, some speculation on Mr..
Farley's standing in the Democratic party and
particularly in the 2artys national convention
which he will attend merely as delegate-at-
large instead of an avowed leader, is justi-
fled. Mr.. Farley fell out with President Roose-
welt when the latter decided to seek a third
term as President and so far as known no
reconciliation has taken place, though he sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt in the last election after
opposing his nomination.
It is fair to assume that he will again op-
pose Mr. Roosevelts nomination bot it is not
to be thought that he will be more successful
now than four years ago, especially as he will
be present at the convention only as a dele
gate, not as the leader of the state organiza-
ton with the greatest voting strength on the
floor.
Unless he is capable of stampeding the con-
vention as William Jennings Bryan did in
1896 and compelling the convention to follow
him with docility, which is hardly probable
as he lacks Bryan's forensic talent. he will
present only nominal opposition, if the Presi-
dent decides to permit his name to be pre-.
scented as candidate
II the stove league concludes that some.
thing has happened, in addition to his business
responsibilities, to divert Mr.. Farley's politi.
cal attention, they might not be far from the
truth. In way his resignation as New York
state chairman suggests that Mr.. Roosevelt
is OF mind to be President four years more.

Don't Outrun The Army

! Despite progress Of Allied invasion forces
in Normandy it must be borne in mind that
the present action is but a phase of the Battle
of Europe, not the main battle itself.
Joseph C. Harsch. erudite observer OF con-
temporary military events points out that the
battle breaks up into five parts: air invasion,
German defeat in Italy, first invasion landing,
4 reo2ening Of the Russian front and subse-
quent invasion landings.
| Only two Of these have been accomplished
air invasion and initial invasion. The Ger
mans are retreating in Italy but still are not
completely defeated. The Russians are poised
to reopen the battle on the Eastern front,
but the fighting has not yet started. And down
to now, so far as headquarters dispatches are
concerned, there has been no other. Allied
landing in addition to those made in the ex-
pansion Of the original landing in the Seine
bay.
How soon the fifth step may be taken prob
ably depends to a large extent upon the other
two. It may not long be delayed With the
Germans in retreat along the Adriatic as well
AZ on the western end of the Italian front,
terminated quickly Every report from the
Eastern front confirms the belief that the
Russians await only the news that the Nor
mandy beachhead is firmly established Se-
fore renewing their battle.
With these steps taken, therefore, it is fair
to think that the fifth, the additional amphibi-
Gus attacks, will come when the American
and British landing forces in Normandy have
acquired full possession Of harbor and port
facilities and Cherbourg and LIE Havre and
also control the air bases in that region.
There is much talk right now of the taking
OF Paris. It would be safer to think about
the imperative necessity of first taking Cher
bourg and establishing supply lines to the
front, lest disappointment follow failure to
have Paris in hand overnight. Paris probably
is long way off, in time if not in distance.
The public will be wise if it merely keeps up
with the troops not in advance of them

Coupled with German admitted
