SAN FRANCISCO, June ls-Demo-

what the death of the late President
Roosevelt may mean to their partv
strength in this State. They understand
very well that it was the personal
strength of Mr. Roosevelt and the favor
which his New Deal found with the
rank and file of the working people
which made it possible for them to
roll up huge majorities in presidential
election years. They also know that
when Mr.. Roosevelts name was not
on the ticket the going was much tough
er for them.
lhe man to whom many Of the party
leaders are looking. either as a candi-
date himself for Governor or Senator
or as builder Of the party organiza-
tion, is Attorney General Robert w.
Kenny. Dynamic, hard hitting, Mr..
Kenny is devoted to politics He is the
only Democrat holding high state Of

in the 1912 election, when Republican
Gov. Warren was rolling up 800 600
lead over his Democratic opponent. Gov.
Warren himself had held the Office OF

ences. each man thinks highly Of the

Mr.. Kenny insists he is not interested
in running himself next year either for
Governor or for the Senate seat now
held by the veteran Senator Hiram
johnson. According to his friends, he
would prefer to continue in his present
office If he is to hold Office at all, and

they can do SO, assuming that there is
q substantial body Of Japanese opinion
which Is of this mind. In the past, the
reward Of those Japanese who have
opposed the more fanatica1 element
among the military has generally been
assassination. It might be SO again.
Furthermore, there is considerable evil
dence that the military leaders are
trying to bring the whole nation into
line with their policies, and even to
shift to others some of the burden of
their responsibilities, while, Of course,
A well-informed British commenta- =
tor, asking what is behind all this, says:
"The easiest explanation is that the
army and navy leaders are very con-
scious that they have made q mess Of
things, that their grand strategy is in
ruins, and that in the face Of devastat-
ing American air attacks and impend-
ing invasion they are anxious to saddle
the civil government with the RESPONSE
bility for the forthcoming catastrophe
and to preserve the military tradition
for subsequent resurrection.

staff did after the last war-create .
legend, Of the undefeated army and
navy, betrayed by incompetent civilians !"
There is, as the British observer above
quoted remarks, probably q good deal
Of truth in this conjecture, but there
may well be more to it than merely the
hope Of building legend.
"A successful invasion Of Japan it.
SELF" he goes on, would be q severe
shock to the mythical outlook Of the
peasant"-the stock from which most
of the junior officers Of the army are
drawn-"and fiat contradiction to the
doctrine of the inviolability Of the
sacred soil,' which is the basis Of the
militarist propaganda. It Is, therefore,
essential that the militarist propaganda
which has brought Japan to this des-
perate pass should be presented in the
hour of crisis as the immutable policy
OF the entire nation"
In attempting thus to share the re-
sponsibility for imminent disaster, how
ever. the military leaders are taking
risks which they may not have accu-
rately assessed. They may hope to share
responsibility without sharing power
but that is difhcult thing to do, and
II they have miscalculated they may
find their control Of the national policy
suppdng from their grasp.

Call to Duty

General Eisenhower's twenty-four
hour visit to Washington has con-
f1rmed the impression which most OF
us already held-that the destinies
of the Allied armies in Western
Europe could not have been en-
trusted to a finer or more competent
man.
This unquestionably was the YER
dict of the hundreds of thousands OF
cheering spectators who lined the
route of the generals journey to the
Capitol, and there can be no doubt
that their judgment was fully in
dorsed by the vastly larger radio
audience who heard the Allied COM
mander speak before a joint session
of Congress.
1t was an excellent address. Speak
ing in crisp sentences, General
Eisenhower took no credit to himself
for the victory in Europe. But he
was unstinting in his praise of the
American servicemen and their COM
manders, in his warm expression of
appreciation to all of those among
our Allies who contributed to vic
tory, in his recognition of the con-
tribution made by those Americans
who served in other than military
capacities and in his tribute to the
leadership of the late President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill. He also spoke in moving
terms of those who have died to win
the war in Europe, and of the belief
Embedded deep in the hearts of all
fighting men" that the problems of
maintaining peace are no more diff
cult than the problems of war, and
that they can and must be solved.
General Eisenhower did not deal
at length with the war against
Japan. But, speaking for himself
and the men and women of his COM
mand, he expressed confidence that
there will be no faltering on the part
of the American people in facing the
ordeals to come. On behalf of all of
those who have served with him, he
declared: Though we dream of re-
turn to our loved ones, we are ready,
as we have always been, to do our
duty to our country, no matter what
1t may be-"
If all of us will adopt that senti-
ment as our own, the war with Japan
will be brought to a successful con-
cIusion more quickly and with less
cost.
