W Thirty-First Year ... By Paul Million Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mai ton. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The most significant election comment was of- feied off-the-reoord by a top -line New Deal diplomatist. He thought that the sweep MitffM maxea Freshen. greatest power In the world for peace. Not even Mussolini and Hitter can claim any stronger un animity of sup port from their people than the president has freely won from bis. That is highly Important, because the dictators have been running away with the Interna tional show. The Influence of de mocracies has been weakened In In ternational councils. Rampant na tionalistic autocrats, being able to control popular opinion In their own countries, have been able to stampede the leaders of constitutional democ racies, whose positions were Insecure. Now, the peace cause of the democ racies has a champion who can meet the dictators with a firmer footing than anyone else can offer. That will make a deep Impression in Europe. The preside at himself, as well 'as his councilors, Is supposed to have been thinking along this line. Devel opments are expected. The experts are already squabbling over the question of whether Mr. Roosevelt la going to turn to the right and be more conservative, or to the left and become more aggressive. Be , probably will do neither. More than one person who has talked to him since election has a feeling that he will go along just about as he has been going, mindful of his Increased responsibility as well as the onerous load of his unmanageable majority. As one Indication of what he will do. his associates any his second In augural speech will be modeled more upon the tone of the Lincoln and Jefferson second Inaugurals, rather than upon the tone of the Madison Square Garden campaign speech. They expect the president to make a strong effort, at the outset, to com pose what little Ill-feeling may have outlasted the campaign. Hla line, they aay, will be Lincoln's: "With malice towards none; with eharlty for all." All the Inner and outer signs In Washington seem to point toward highly encouraging business develop ments from here In the Immediate future. In fact, there la Increasing talk of a big spring boom. The extent of the president's sweep wiped out any possibility of sharp political bickering. An adjournment of politics is In prospect for a year. Furthermore, there arc no economic cv political hangovers from the elec tion. Mr. Roosevelt made na prom Ires. The Republican Issues were backed by possibly 18.000,000 voters, tut not enough to Justify any mb alantlal resistance to the Roosevelt program In the next session of con gress. Thus, everything is entirely up to Mr. Roosevelt, ft will be a govern ment of his own chooilng. He will have to be hla own opposition. Mi H71E g HUB I IBBt Itti ' i : : i fa; v, m While this may be a good el;n for V. the Immediate future. It certainly Is not for the long run. The best laws are usually those hammered -ml on the anvil of an alert opposition, seek ing to eliminate defects and to pro mote moderation. For anoth-r thing. Mr. Roosevelt can hardly be expected to keep the support of all who voted for Mm. Kls supporters ceme from diametri cally opposite schools of thought and they are certain to break up into fac tions aa soon as they meet the first Issue. Responsibility, therefore, will rest mere completely upon him then It has in the past two years, and the planning of his course of action may I be more difficult than heretofore tf rie happens to be in error, it will just h too bad. fistern Republican authorities or ruher the few of them left are apparently giving little thought to rwMgsniMtion.

M EDFORD Full Associated Press OF YANKEE PEACE DELEGATION SHIP Alaska Coast Faces Winter Food Shortage 'Set Down' Tactics Abandoned Federal Action Prob lematical. Dy The Associated Tress) Government conciliators today sought to bring striking seamen and employers together In a new peace move aa the nationwide maritime strike increased In Intensity on both the Atlantic and Paclflo coasts. In Ban Francisco, where the strike started, a committee of the seamen's union considered an offer of T. G. Plant, ship owners' spokesman, to re open negotiations provided the sea men would not insist upon certain conditions as a premise. pnR.TT.ANlY NVw 7. t API Chief nt PoHp Harrv Nllea said todav he had received complaints from water front employes not invoivea Dy tne maritime strike that pickets had ordered them to obtain "passes" through tho line, Th mammr BMri osaistnnt mana ger of a private terminal and sev eral employes of municipal terminal No. 4 said tney were stoppea the daily bulletin of the longshore men announced: .... "Remember No one tv to- pas through picket lines without a. pass signed and sealed officially." Chief Nlles said that "from the standpoint of constituted authority, passes are only necessary where mar tial law has been deciareo. By the Associated Press A nation-wide strike against Amer ican shipping Increased In intensity today (Sunday), Secretary of State Oordell Hull and the American delegation to the Inter Amerlcan peace conference at Buenos Aires were delayed in New York har bor while eastern - strikers changed their tactics from a "sit down, fold ed arms" strike to active picketing. Thus, after two weeks of spreading strife from San Francisco to both coasts, methods of strikers became uniform but tha. shipping tie-up still was most critical on the Pacific coast. The paralysis of west coast shipping caused by the strike of 37.000 union workers spread to shipyard workers in San Francisco 6,000 of them, union leaders declared, but employers dis puted this figure. Secretary of Leber Frances Perkins concentrated her efforts on seeking relief of an emergency situation In Alaska, where many towns depend ent on sea commerce soon will be Ice-bound and still have not received winter supplies. - Permit Food Ships Relief for southeastern Alaska was assured as maritime unions author ized shipments by rail to Prince Ru pert, Canada, and from there by mail boats as far as Juneau, Alaska. Violence was reported on Balti more's waterfront where 11 men faced disorderly cbarges and later two oth ers were arrested on a charge of beat ing a tvnmon but were dismissed. The Munson liner American Lfglon. with Secretary Hull. Assistant Secre tary of state Welles, and other Argentina-bound diplomats aboard, put out from Its New York pier but was forced to anchor off tho Statute of Liberty by order of the United States shipping commission. The ship was found under-manned snd sis more seamen were required before It could put to sea. Labor Secretary Irked Joseph Curran. chairman of the In surgent New York strike group which overruled officers of the Internst'on-, al Seamen's union in voting strike action, estimated 16,000 ship workers have walked out In mi If and Atlantic ports outside New York. He claimed three to four thousand strikers In New York. M:ss Perkins, calling Cumin's com mittee a "rump" organization, ac cused him of exaggerating the extent of the east coast tie-up. Her observ ers, she said, found the figures too high. She expressed confidence in Am 1st -srvd Labor Secretary Edward F.
