The Washington Daily News
headlined the election extras,
HE'S DONE IT AGAIN g.
AGAIN & AGAIN" and that
tells the story better than any
thing else. Gallup and the other
poll takers, suspended from the
ends OF the ends of their limbs
for months of predicting, can
crawl back down now and get
some much-needed relaxation.
Top drawer bureaucrats who
may have had some uneasineSs
about their jobs for the next
four years can also relax, secure
in their places at the Federal
till and with no worries about
their own postwar unemploy-
ment. And the Washington
scene roles on with pretty much
the same old familiar faces.
The election proved. howev-
err, some very definite beliefs of
the American electorate:
The majority of the people
are not scared of Communism,

MEN OF LETTERS

Some dow when the war is over it should be the
4s,inotino tosk Of some scholar to examine the COM
munioues, speeches and general announcements or
our n,Iitory leaders for the light which these stote
nents can throw on the men, their characters ana
their obilties
Until that time is at hand, it is enough to make
the brood observation that our top generals and 3D.
noiroIs express themselves remarkably we'll and with
oreot Variety Their vocabulary, when they oddress
themselves to civilian audiences is free from mill
tory ordity And they employ it with dIrectness,
clarity, and very often Imagination that many pro-
fessonoI writer's might and probably do envy
General MocArthur's utteronces have the Orien-
toI spIendor and rolling periods of the Old estonoen
due IoocoIly enouqh according to reports, to his
ossiduous Bible reading. Adnirols King and Nimtz
and General Marshall can condense important news
into model Of straightforward reporting or land es-
pecioy in MorshoII's cose) can infuse this almost
blunt economy of expression with boiIing-hot SIN
cerity in public speeches.
Admiral Hosey contributed sotricoI and grace
full contenootuous comment on the Jops inflated VIC
tory claims when he informed Admiral Niritz that
he had solvoeed his entire Jop-destroyed fleet and
was withdrawing in the direction Of the enemy.
But best of all perhaps, is General Eisenhower's
description Of war which he gave to visiting con-
eressmon in France.
WAR;" sold the general, us like pushing heov-
lily loaded wagon up q steep hill in fog and never
knowing when you going to reach the top. SO you
have to push like hell all the time"
In all military literature it would be hard to find
q more Illuminating sn7e. Needless to say the gen.
ero was not speaking Of his strategy or his armies
toctcs neither Of which is the least bit foggy, but
Of the unremittne effort needed right up to the hour
and minute Of the enemys final defeat.
In these memorable sentences General Eisen-
hover has impressed all with the dangers Of conn.,
pIocency, and has done it, to our way Of thinking,
far better than hundred speeches on the subject.
Those sentences ore something to cut out and
poste up in home, office factory. Or better, they
ore worth learning and thinking about They ought
to keep pushing.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

The majority of the people
are not scared of Dictatorship
or one-man-government, yet.
The trend" against Roosevelt
which was counted on so heav-
lily by the Republicans, proved
TO be a myth and was thrown in
complete reverse.
The majority of the people do
not believe in swapping horses,
etc.
UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER
COMES ALONG"
The New Deal is not dead.
The President himself revived
it, mentioning it by name sew
eral times during the campaign
although he had previously
tried to replace DIR. New Deal"
with DIR. Win the War"
The majority of the people
like the New Deal and its objec-
tives and want to see it contin-
ued.
The Republicans platform,
program, leadership and cam
paign do not offer a sufficiently
constructive and concrete set of
detectives and they must go
back and build from the ground
up, with new principles, new
methods, new men and women
at the helm, if they hope to
achieve victory in l943.
AS a campaigner, Gov. Dewey
while trying hard and giving
the impression of being sincere
in his beliefs, was just another
baritone with only one song to
sing while his opponent, the old
master of politics, pulled all the
stops of ridicule, pathoS, deep
thoughtfulneSs and even prayer.
DeWey's efforts to unSell the
people on the Roosevelt admin
istration, often by over en-
phasis on trivial misrepresenta-
tons, may have been one of the
causes of his own undoing.
CHALLENGE TO THE
REPUBLICANS
The next four years will be
tough-perhaps even tougher
than 1892 to 1886. The response
bility will be on the Democratic
leadership and majority, but the
role of the Republican minority
is Of equal importance. The Re-
publicans can continue pro-
gram of petty criticism and par
tisan opposition under the old
leadership. Or il can step out
and develop a constructive pro-
gram of its own which will be
better than anything the Demo-
Gratis can offer.
The great hope for the rebirth
Of really progressive Republi-
can party lies in the latter
course. But its leadership has
yet to emerge.
