Those who plan to attend the

that should be sufficient answer.
It might be for some candidates;
it may not be for Senator

In 1912, President William

When the convention met in
Chicago, President Taft had the
delegates. He also had the con-

delegates were seated-but not
until the party had been torn
completely in two. BY curious
coincidence, the first compro-
mise candidate suggested by
T. r. was Henry Cabot Lodge,
grandfather of the present

If their own affairs were in a
little better shape the Dem
ocratic politicians could take
considerable satisfaction from
what they observe among the
Republicans. What they observe
is a cutthroat contest that is
bound to leave q lot of bad feel
ing in the hearts of the losers.
They don't believe it will be easy
for the Taft and Eisenhower
warriors to kiss and make up
after the convention.
Occasionally some one asks
Senator Taft if he will support
Gen. Eisenhower in case of the
generals nomination. Having
spent his life in politics he
answers that of course he will
support the party nominee;
and there is no doubt that he
will, despite his deep distrust
of Eisenhower's views on foreign
policy. But. Senator Taft usual

Moslem World Being AIienoted
Shors9hted Policy Of the French Tunisio and Morocco
lrritotes Administrative Officials and Many in Congress
Constantine Brown:

There is a growing irritation
in some administration quarters
and among many members of
Congress against what is termed
the "shortsighted policy" of
the French in Tunisia and Mo-
rocco.
This irritation has nothing
to do with Frances desires to
maintain her colonial empire:
neither has it anything to do
with the American commercial
treaty rights in Morocco which
are being ignored by the French
government. They are prompted
merely by the fact that these
policies are alternating the Mos
lem world which could be ex-
tremely useful in the Western

that coalition.

but it is a fact.
There have been no devia-
tions from the strong belief in
Allah among the Moslems. It is
for this reason that the Krem-

from their Western friends in

slogan that God is mere cap

dom and exploiting them as in
the past. The fact that the

proof that Kremlin agents were
not lying.

That's how Woodrow Wilson
became President. T. r. divided
the Republican vote with Taft,
taking more than half Of it.
So now we see a similar situa-
ton looming up. Senator Taft
will have most of those Southern
delegates, it appears, and will
also have the convention ma
chinery to seat them. But not
without a fight, and it will be
an angry fight. If. thanks largely
to these delegates, Senator Taft
wins the nomination his plain
tive inquiry concerning Gen.
Eisenhower's intention will have
a real meaning.
Nobody expects Gen. Eisen-
hover, in case of defeat, to do
what Theodore Roosevelt did.
For one thing there is no rea-
son to believe he wants the
nomination as badly as r. r.
wanted that third cup of coffee.
For another there is no indica-
tion that he has come to hate
Senator Taft in the way that
T. r. had come to hate the lat
ter's papa. And, finally, his
pride will not have been hurt
seriously. After all, as he told
his Dutch friends the other day,
he doesn't aspire" to the pres
idency.
But that doesn't mean that,
II he feels he has been euchered
out of the nomination by meth
ods not nice. he will be disposed
to spend the summer tearing
his shirt for Senator Taft. On
the other hand, it cannot be
doubted that Senator Taft, If
defeated, will support Gen.
Eisenhower. The only question
