FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
In 1940 President Roosevelt shattered the tradition which
held that no man could be the chief executive of this nation for
more than two terms. In 1944 them was no tradition lei t to
' shatter, OT he would have shattered it by being elected to a
fourth term. Had he lived, it is not unlikely that he could have
, beeh elected to still a fifth term. His tenure had come to have
the implication of permanency. It was becoming a little dif
ficult to recall the years when he had not been in the White
House. It was becoming more difficult to envision years in the
indistinct future when he would not be there.
This illusion of permanency, stronger by contrast to the
rapidly changing World scene, contributed, we believe, to the
intensity of the shock which the news of his death brought to
the people of his own country and to those of many other
countries as well. Primarily this sense of loss stems from the
fact that he was the president. As such, he was beloved by
millions. It would be vain to say that there were not others
who did not share this feeling. But to all he was the president.
Most important, as we view his passing, was the world
. position which he had come to hold. Here his death does not
excite the more elemental emotions, but it does at once arouse
apprehension that a partly formed international program may
suffer from the removal of one of the prime planners.
Whether there is one suffiicently well versed in the back
ground of negotiations carried on by the world's three great
est powers to shoulder the responsibilities which Franklin D.
Roosevelt had assumed would now be difficult-to say. Time
will tell as to that. As far as the world has been informed or
as far as the world may guess, inexperience will replace ex
perience and unfamiliarity will replace familiarity. Td Sec-
. retary of State Stettinius will naturally fall the task. It is a
grave test which awaits him,
For the more immediate things in the international pic
ture, the-influence which the president's death may have ori
the actual war cannot be ignored. Not that it will lessen by
one lota the vigor with which we and our allies prosecute the
war. We sre thinking, rather, of the encouragement which
must have borne to our enemies with the news that the Ameri
can commander-in-chief was gone. They will learn soon
enough that this will bring them no respite but, in the mean
time, it is reasonable to expect a stiffening of resistance with
ah over-all lengthening of the time required for complete con
quest. .

Harry S. Truman. He is the president. We wish him well. We
pray that he may reveal unsuspected talents, undisclosed
genius. The nation needs them. But we fear that he will suffer
seflbtisly by comparison with the man for whom he now must
substitute.
Of the man with whom Harry S. Truman was elected to
office, of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his record in the more
than twelve years through which he held office, volumes could
b written and have been' written. 'It 'Would be impossible to

wi.ienipi. io review mis record, i o some ne was a master states
man, a social reformer whose works will go doyn in history
with those of the all-time great. To others he lacked of great
ness. His capacity for personal friendship was unquestioned.
His political astuteness was unequalled in modern times. The
courage which carried him on, setting at naught the disability
of paralysis, which spurred him on, although in failing health,
through the rigors of a major campaign and the mounting
cares of complex international affairs, deserved the unquali
fied admiration which they received.
This; we realize, does not even approach a complete evalua
tion. History, in the years to come, will provide that. The
perspective of time is essential if a true picture is to be had.

Washington, D. C Average
citizens probably know little
about the workings of the ap
proximately 800 Industry advi
sory committees and labor-man-agent
advisory committees func
tioning In Washington today, but
they're here nevertheless and
going nobody knows for sure just
where.
The idea of callings in a batch
of citizens having highly special
ized knowledge of one kind or
another and asking them to tell
their government how things
should be done goes back to 1863
when the National Academy of
Sciences was given a federal char
ter In which it was stipulated
they should give advice whenever
needed.
The four-dollar, polysyllabic,
science name for this sort of
thing is "functional group repre
sentation." It was rather slow to
catch on but from a number of
quarters it is advocated there
should be more functional group
representation to correct what's
wrong with your- government.
Labor organizations keep need
ling for more of it and so do the
business and farm pressure
groups.
European countries have ex
perimented with this type of thing
in various ways. France, Czecho-
' Slovakia and even Germany under
the Weimar republic had such a
set-up. In Italy it was highly de
veloped under the corporative
state.
Growth of the idea from 1863
on has been slow but steady. Up
to War One only 60 such advi
sory groups had been created.
Bernard Baruch is the real daddy
Of the modem industry advisory
committee. He created some 400
of them when he was chairrhan
of the war industries board In
1917 and '18.
In the year 1933 a business ad
visory council of businessmen
was organized for the department
of commerce. It is still function
ing. It was responsible for the
creation of the committee for eco
nomic development, admittedly,
the best of the post-war planning
agencies. Jus after he was named
secretary of commerce, Henry
Wallace put the council to work

Marks nodded.
"I know. I saw his name in the;

nately, is not available. He
checked out early this morning
and left no forwarding address."
The Inspector examined his
nails reflectively.

Marks lookedat me qul.irally.

My patience snapped.
"What are you." I snapped, "po !

"As a matter of fact." saidj

for you to furnish an alibi. Phin-

"I was in bed, asleep." I said.
j "Anybody see you?" asked Cass. i
I "No, Cass, I said wearily. J
! "Watchers-over my sleep have re-i

from me to Hapes.
I "I think, Mr. ! Pipes, that Mr.

i Reluctantly Cas left. Marks

locked his hands behind his head.;

"Did you give him the amulet?"
I asked.
The inspector shook his head.
"We decided to risk the force
of Mr. Xavier's Influence. We
put a tail on him, but lost him
in traffic when he took the cab
and headed for here."
"To contact the person who was
to have received the gems," I said.
Marks looked at me keenly.
"Unhappily," he said, "that tells
us little because anyone of the
seven at The Ledges could be that
person."
"Anyone,"! agreed lugubri
ously. "You know as much about that
as I."
The inspector looked dubious.
"It was set."
"It was a lovely place, but I
shall always like it," 1 said.
Marks didn't hold me after thai
not even for further question
ing. "Maybe I've got enough to hold
you on. Maybe 1 haven't." he
said. "I can offer you protective
custody."
