1910, he got another shock. The
miners wouldn't stop voting for Mr.
Roosevelt. And it was true again
In 1914.
AS political leader Mr.. Lewis
was a bust. The miners accepted
his labor leadership without ques-
ton, but insisted on doing their
political feuding in their own way
They listened to his great voice
respectfully, but marked their bal
lots the way their daddies did
mostly Democratic.
Ties Issues Together.
Lying in his bed of pain follow
ing the removal of his appendix
Nr. Lewis seems to have had time
TO figure out the explanation for
the miners strange behavior and
also what to do about it. He had
failed politically because he had
! never tied the political issue and
the labor issue tightly enough to-
gether. He undertook to remedy
that oversight.
Already he had maneuvered the
Government into taking over the
mines and accepting the role of
hated employer. Now he would pull
a strike against the employer-the
present Democratic administration
and he would pull it right at elec-
ticn time. 1t would be easy to con-
vince the miners they were abused
and that 1t was the Government
that abused them. They would vote
the way they struck, this time
against the employer-Government
The strategy has worked perfect
ly thus far. Administration master
minds have found no way to get
around it, although it hasn't been
for lack of trying. If they cave in
and grant the new Lewis demands
they lose the respect of voters
everywhere. If they decide to battle
it out, they lose the one mining
State. outside the South, they have
hoped to hold. That is the way they
see the situation and nobody else
sees it differently.
Have 100000 Votes.
The miners and their families
have about 100000 votes In west
Virginia. According to earlier re-
ports they have not been taking a
very deep interest In the campaign.
That of itself has had the ad-
ministration worried, it being be-
1ieved that Senator Harley M. Kill
gore could not retain his seat un-
less the miners came to the polls in
fairly large numbers. Mr.. Lewis
hand picked district leaders in the
State have heretofore appeared to
encourage this apathy Now they
are out in the open.
Miners should vote the way they
strike" says Bill Blizzard, long
time leader in the Southern part of
the State. There's plot on the
part of the Democratic Party, he
tells the miners, to destroy the
urion. 1t should not be too hard
to make the miners believe this at
a time when they are striking or
about to be striking against the
Government. And. of course, they
can be expected to vote to save
the union"

The reasons why this policy was
not carried out, though we will
have been saying we believed in it,
are important now only as they
still paralyze our conduct Of Ger
man affairs. The overall reason
is that Mr.. Byrnes was diverted
rom the German problem by the
Russians who wanted to cash in
on their %conquests in eastern Eu-
rope and by the British who were
deeply perturbed by their vulner-
ability in the Middle East. That
accounts for the fact that Mr..
Byrnes himself has given so much
less serious attention to Germany
than it deserves.
Our German policy has in its
fundamentals been stalemated by
two conflicting ideas: One was The
original American notion, inhe-.
emily ~fallacious and absurd, tina
Germany could be rendered saft
by disabling her economically; thu
other was the contemporary YER
sion Of the traditional B r i S l

nation can be used to restore the

policy. But TO deny that it has beer

gibberish if it did not carry with it
the inevitable implication h a
Western Germany is a military
bastion against Russia. A military
alignment against Russia, which
did not take into account the Ger
man war potential, would be a silly
proposal. Mr.. Churchill is n of
the greatest of living military
strategists, and he could not have
forgotten Germany. That is what
every informed European knows,
that certainly is what Stain and
the Kremlin know. The Molotov
declaration announces the Soviet
intention to get hold of Germany
before any one else gets hold of
Germany.
1t may be that this has always
been the underlying Russian pol
icy. There is some considerable
evidence, including M. Molotiv's
own personal record, that it was
always a possible policy, always
the real alternative to cooperation
with the West. But what is GER
tain is that the scales would have
been tipped decidedly in favor of
this policy once the Russians had
seen signs that the British, with
the Americans following, were even
toying with the idea of controlling
Germany to use her against Rus
STA. They have seen plenty of signs,
not all of them the products Of
their suspicious.
1t has been a disastrous mis-
take by the British and the Amer
leans to accept in any form what
soever the idea of contesting the
control of Germany. All other
reasons aside, it a a disastrous
mistake because they can never
hope to win the contest. AS M. Mo-
lotov has now made SO plain. he
can outbid us on every vital point
that interest the militant Ger
mans.
All this unfortunate history Will
have somehow to be washed away
and replaced by a widely con-
ceived plan of German reconstruc-
ton, before Mr.. Byrnes can nope
to negotiate effectively with M.
Molotov on the future of Germany.
For as things stand now, what MI.
Bvrnes offers is not really relevant
to the actualities, what he is ask
ing for he probably cannot get, nor
would if solve the problem if he
got it. M. Molotov, on the othe-
hand. has placed himself in the
nosition where every strong Ger
man nationalist, and that means
most Germans, must look first to
