o LOOKING
o FORWARD
' By FRANKLYN WALTMAN,
Publicity Director, Republican
National Committee
Results of last week's elections
have altered completely the Ameri
can political picture. The New Deal
no longer is the dominant power in
our lives. The Republican party,
electing Senators and Governors in
20 States, has been restored as a nu
merically strong and effective op
position that must be respected.
Thus once again the two-party sys
tem in this country has been firmly
entrenched. Threats of a third party
movement have evaporated like the
morning dew under the rising sun.
Third term prospects again become
only of academic interest.
More important, the county has
put its foot down, with crunching
sounds, on radicalism, the shameless
effort to control elections with re
lief funds, the flagrant flouting of
constitutional forms and experimental
paternalism in the field of economic
action. All of that has been con
demned and that is the real signifi
cance of the elections. Those who
have feared that America might go
the way of Russia, Germany and
Italy may now feeL reassured.
The long-range sdgnu1icance of
what has happened is much clearer
than the immediate outlook. Wheth
er the next two years will be a per
iod of political calm and tranquility
depends primarily on President
Roosevelt. If he reads correctly the
lesson of the elections and acts ac
cordingly, he will be saved many
hours of grief.
Third New Deal Dead
On the other hand, if Mr. Roose
velt mistakes the meaning of the
1938 elections, as he did the election!
two years ago, he is destined to meet
firm and unrelenting opposition, bit
ter political warfare and, perhaps,
crushing humiliation. For it is cer
tain that what General Hugh S.
Johnson calls the "third New Deal"
is now dead and past all hope of
resurrection.
Mr. Roosevelt must make the
choice. It is a particularly difficult
decision for him to make. By nature
he is a fighting man much more
the leader of the cavalry charge than
the philosopher, despite his many
efforts in the latter field. The sit
uation confronting Mr. Roosevelt
calls, not for the flash of saber or
the roll of drums, but quiet, medi
tative reflection. Thus it goes
gainst his nature.
Seocndly, Mr. Roosevelt is con
vinced of his own good intentions.
Perhaps it would be unfair to say
that .he has a Messianic complex.
But it is obvious that he does not
believe he ever has been wrong in

Preparing for Active
And Useful Life
Young girl, recovering from tuber

typewriting to enable her to earn at
least part of her living when she is
discharged. Modern medical science
not only treats the sick body, but
aims toward vocational rehabilita

aided by Christmas Seals, are result

returning to useful lives.
any major particular. So far, at least,
he has not admitted error. Even in
the matter of election forecasting,
his post - election announcements
must.' be approximately accurate,
though adverse to him. It would
have been encouraging, and very hu
man, if Mr. Roosevelt had guessed
wrong the outcome of at least this
election.
Thirdly, Mr. Roosevelt's closest
friends and advisers are the very
ones who have led him astray. He
cannot reverse what he has been
doingthe things which the voters
condemned at the polls without re
pudiating them. They, too, have be
come mesmerized with the belief of
their infallibiliay. Their self-confidence
and their righteousness over
whelm them. Thus they have im
munized themselves against public
reaction.
Hopkins Feels Superior
Harry Hopkins is a typical illus
tration. Long, long ago Mr. Hopkins
decided his judgment was superior
to all others in the matter of ad
ministering relief. Criticisms of his
work were met by contemptuous as
sertions that the critics were "too
dumb to understand." He dismissed
the Bacon-Vandenberg substitute
bill for relief administration, before
reading it, with the assertion that it
originated with Republicans and
therefore could not have any value.
Whether the results of the elec
tions have jolted Mr. Roosevelt- and
his advisers remains to be seen.
So far there is little evidence to that
effect, aside from the general con
fusion in New Deal ranks. None ex
pects Mr. Roosevelt publicly to
mount the repentance bench. There
are other ways, however, to make
evident a change of heart. Yet the
signs are not encouraging to those
who desire that change. Instead
there was a slight tone of belliger
ency in the first press conference
after the eleoions a note of "I am
all right if you do not misrepresent
me.
Ickes Rushes In
Harry Hopkins has had the good
sense to keep his silence. But not
the blatant Harold Ickes. He had to
rush into print, loudly proclaiming
Mr. Roosevelt's policies had been
indorsed and that now we must be
come reconciled to Mr. Roosevelt
for another term. This is the same
Mr. Roosevelt whose friend and
lieutenant Frank Murphy was over
whelmingly crushed by the elector
ate in Michigan, whose personally
indorsed ' admirer, Elmer Benson,
was driven from public life in Min
nesota, whose protege George H.
Earle was ignominiously defeated in
Pennsylvania, whose home state of
New York was saved, after a per
sonal plea by him, from going Re
publican only by a hair-line margin.
It is no wonder that Henry Wal
lace who at least is a little more
sensitive to what is happening
around him than other New Dealers
gagged over the Ickes' words and
broke precedent by publicly rebuk

Wallace's avowed spirit of humility
and soul-searching might well be

White House in recent months hasf
not been great. Harry Hopkins has
seen to that
As for the Republicans, they
choose to regard their victory as an
opportunity rather than a personal or
party triumph. Having convinced the
American people of the deficiencies
of the New Deal, they now will turn
toward the projection of alternative
and constructive programs. Their re
cent campaign and its satisfactory
conclusion is evidence that they are
in tune with public sentiment They
are looking forward not only to
greater triumphs in 1940 but also to
a reviltaization of the American
way.
