WASHINGTON. May Lets
w look over the reasons why
President Roosevelt will run for
.16 years in -,he White House
For one thing. the whole pat
tern of the Presidents policies
over the last year or so has been
deliberately or accidentally--a
ect groundwork for a re-
eTtion attempt
In the first place. he has re-
sponded lot more sensitively 10
shifts in public political senti-
ment than a president ordinarily
responds when he's simply finish
ing out a term.
AS skipper of the sloop Of
state. President Roosevelt. as
always, is sailing with the wind, :
nc seldom lacks across IL. When
the wind was toward the portSide
the left--he kept his sail out on
the portside. And left went the
sloop OF state.
With the war, however. the
breeze shifted sharply TO the star
board. The New Deal and ultra
liberal rigging was bundled up
and stored away in the hold; in
came a new crew of conservative
Jim Byrnes. Bernie Baruch and
company, and the old boom swung
across the starboard. and it's been
way out there on the right ever
since.

fection of the tides Of fortune
in the skies.
When Adm. King again taunts
the japanese, humorously. for
their lack of Cooperation i'm
not coming out TO accept old
style naval combat, he is asking
for the impossible.
To expect the japanese to
come out from their shield of
land-based aviation and fight is
no more logical than IL woufd
be for Japan to expect us TO
leave our carriers home and
accept combat.
IF AND when the great naval
battle does come off, the VIC
tory will be determined in the
first place by the weight of
land-based air power the con-
tending nations can bring to
bear.
The brunt of battle will be
carried by aviation, with surface
ships in the role of targets be-
fore the decision is reached.
Japan's strategy today is
clearly defensive. The enemy is
consolidating newly acquired
positions and organizing to pro-
tect them. Knowing we'll enough
that 1T cannot, hope TO match
us in a construction duel for
battleships and carriers it is
most likely concentrating on
aerial defenses. If and when
we confront Japanese naval
force it will be under the shield
of that air power. To expect
anything else is 10 assume that
the enemy is stupid--a danger

One Word Led To Another
By Arthur Bugs" Baer

We're having little trouble with the school authori-
ties because of their estmabe habit of celebrating the
changes of the with tableaux wants.
Today they doing little piaylet entitled Spring
Is Here" And one of children is playing the May
Pole.
Just last Christmas she played a Yule Log. They
carried her in by the and legs and tossed her on
the fire A redheaded girl the fire.
That doesn't seem like very important role for
child of family with as much talent US But want
to state the parts improving In her very first school
playet she had TO have green dress with green shoes
and hat.
We discovered that the school play about the
woods Her role that of green under a leaf.
At time during the of the drama did anybody
turn the leaf She didn't have to be there.
If il is all the with the school board wish they
would stop those kind of plays get my child out of the
class Even she graduates at the head Of it
still don't want here there
But guess she is learning more than the other
who home from his second year and told that
the animal was a stink
Naturally, called up the school board who
reprmanded the teacher for telling children that the
animal was stink
Even if the animal did stink didn't want that for
home work still remember the teachers rebuttal Il
telling the children about the dinosaurs When they
asked if there was one in the zoo I said the animal
extinct"
The explanation seemed TO cover the situation like
boss blanket on a sick pup.

Answer to Question No. l

Answer to Question No.
The notion that every woman
is plning for a husband Is not
borne out by the facts. Even
many women who enjoy the
company OF men can't see that
a huSband-even good one
would be a profitable exchange
for their freedom. A woman
who is not married has missed
a good deal and escaped a good
deal.
Answers to Question No. 2
You always think you have.
but about nine-tenths of the
time your reasons" are merely
excuses or else unconscious
habits and emotional drives for
which you could not give the
remotest reason. You get angry
and say II is because some
one inSulted you. The real
reason is your ego has been
punctured. A woman buys an
expensive dress because. she
says, of her love of beautiful
things II is chiefly because she
wants 10 outdress some other
woman or get her man.
Answer TO Question No. s
II depends entirely on the
matings. In all fine animal
strains the parents are ex-
tremely close relatives. Many
are brothers and sisters which.
by the way, is a closer relation

Washington
Comment

full reasons 10 indicate that the
President will try for l6 years in
the White House are much
broader and more sweeping than
mere details. Also more simple.
One is the man himself. To
any one who has followed Mr.
Roosevelt, and watched his reac-
tionS, and analysed the emotions
that make him tick, it's incon-
ceivable that he would make a
strategic withdrawal from any
situation. His career has shown
repeatedly that ne doesn't oper-
ate that way.
My own guess is that, in the
privacy Of his own soul. he
couldn't conceive of himself not
being president, and not living
in the White House. His magma
ton offers no possible pattern Of
daily existence or occupation in
private life.
tTTiE other is the situation itself:
l. the greatest war in history:
the leader Of the greatest nation
in the world, and no chance of the
war being over by election time.
Never in history has a national
leader voluntarily withdrawn as
head OF a major nation at war,
and it's unlikely that Franklin
Roosevelt will be the first.
Regardless Of all other consid-
erations. how could he rationalize
that one point. in view of the
record of history?
Yes, you're probably right.
Even though he may not have
told even himself as yet. IL looks
like a certainty that he will nun
for that 10 years in the White
House.
