One OF his fond hsllucinatlons
is that he can glance at perfect
strangers and tell all about
them-what they think, If at
all, whether they are visitors or
permanent residents, and what
they do for a living.
He was exercising this mag
mary gift all through luncheon,

a number OF diners who sud-

straight at them.

tripe in Peoria and has been

division. He's slowly going nuts

was no feasible way 10 check.
After all. you can't so up TO a
perfect stranger in a crowded
restaurant and say:
''Bromfield says you process
tripe--do you:"
Anyway, he continued with his
act. In succession he pointed
out what he said was an army
wife who thinks her major huS-
band is being done dirt because
he isn't brigadIer general; a
plumbers supply manufacturer
who is being renegotiated, and A
lobbyist for the pouter pigeon
industry.
Finally. he pointed to two gem
tlemen at the next table and
said:

If this kind of thing has gone
on for years, as you believe, then
common sense argues that he is
an unfaithful husband - even
though his heart has stayed
fixed on you.
There are no halfway meas
ures for dealing with that type
OF weakness. Either a wife
condones il entirely. for reasons
sufficient to herself, or she re-
fuses TO tolerate IL at all.
Since you have seen III 10

matte silence, while your heart
has been pierced time and again,
IL would seem the only thrust

To solve your present guam

IT IS a pity that Mr.. Roose-
velt chose TO inject party
politics into the forthcoming
San Francisco conference.
1t is even a greater pity that
he has given the political kiss
of death to Harold Stassen by
singing him out as White
House favorite.
Although Mr.. Stassen's name
IS often mentioned among presi-
Dental aSpirants, he is not at
the moment among the leader
ship of the Republican party.
He is, in fact, in a nonpar-
tiSan position in the navy.
This is the second time that
Mr.. Roosevelt has used Stas-
sens name 10 stimulate sec
tarianism within the Repub-
lican party, and the suspicion
becomes unavoidable that Stas-
sen must know what is done in
his name.
Mr.. Roosevelt has on several
occasions killed off Republicans
by the simple device of giving
them the White House i'm
pTimatur.
No man can lead the opposi-
ton party while serving as
White House favorite. without
giving the appearance, at least.
of engaging in double cross.
/ am sure that Mr.. Stassen
cannot be guilty Of such devious
practices. but Mr.. Roosevelt has
given the impression that he
knows that "Barkis is willin'." /"
A CTUALLY. if Mr.. Roosevelt
n desired 10 appoint Repub-
licans TO the San Francisco con-
ference. or any other, he knows
OF the formal and authoritative
method Of accomplishing his
purpose.
BY the authority OF the Re-
publican national convention
the leadership of the Republican
party is vested in Thomas f.
Dewey, John w. Bricker and
Herbert Brownell. OF these.
Dewey, as last presidential cam
didate. is the senior and IS re-
ferred 10 as the titular leader.
In the l.. s. Senate. the party
Il led by Senators Taft. Van

NAL party leadership.
All this is, of course. known

Ter for his own prerogatives, yet

IT DOES not matter which Re-
publican attends the San
Francisco conference, or il any
do.
Mr.. Roosevelt will do there as
he chooses. But what does mat
ter is that II should be made
clear at once that since no for
NAL action has been requested
Of that party or taken by IL. it
is in no manner bound by any
decisions which Mr.. RooseveltS
personally chosen delegates
make.

internationalism is here, il In
creased by what is announced
as the Polish settlement, which
certainly shows no kinship to
true internationalism.
1t is increased by the facts ap-
pearing in the publicity that the
dictator Of Russia has not failed
to get everything that he wants
in harmony with Russia's selfish
interests and that the prime
minister of Great Britain seems
better satisfied than previously
about satisfaction of imperial
self interests.
Now true internationalisln, or
even just partly true interna-
tionalism does not consist Of
the unselfish consent and aid
of one big fellow to two other
big fellows getting away with
their entirely selfish interests
at the general expense of all
the little fellows.
True internationalism, on the
contrary, consists of the aban-
donment of selfish interests in
favor of reign of justice.
If we are going into interna-
tionaliSm, then Great Britain
and Russia must show some in
ternationalism also.
Otherwise the United States
IL merely being played for a
sucker nation to support a power
pact of other greedy self in

Mr.. Roosevelt's publicists will
have a lot of explaining to do
on this score.

OF the things which may help

Among these are lack Of Vita
