ROOSEVELT 1IEI.D OPPOSED TO Till III) TERM RELIEVES YOLNCLR MAX SHOULD CAItliY ON EFFECT ON ANTI DEI'RESSION MOVES SEEN CONCILIATION FAIU HK MKillT REVIVE KPKMIINU WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. With the ghosts of Herbert Hoover and all thr attendant multitude of Republican office holders who lost their political Uvea In the last depression now gtb berlng And shrieking through the streets of Washington, It Is unusually Interesting to get some sort of line on what Mr. Hoover's successor feels about third term. The fact they may or may not have to face the electo rate again usually has an Important effect on politicians' actions and President Roosevelt Is as much a politicians as any other. Itmay be assumed, therefore, that. In charting hta course through the new depres sion which seems to be upon us. he will be much Influenced by his in tentions for 1040. The first and most concrete bit of evidence tending to show that the President has no wish to run again (and will, therefore, be more ready t to go hla own way, in the bad times) " comes from a recent exchange of let ters between him and his own con fidential European ambassador-at-large, Norman Davis. Some time ago, Mr. Davis, who is very close to the White House, was asked whether he thought that the President wanted to continue his res idence at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue for another four years. He replied that he did not think so, but he was later quoted by his questioners as having said quite positively that the President was entirely without a desire for a. third term. Discovering bow his words had been distorted, Mr. Davis grew rather nervous, and wrote off an account of the whole matter to the President. He took the line that he hod only voiced his own opinion, and that In a tentative fashion, and he apologized for having given rise to the misrepresentation that followed. The President answered Mr. Davis' letter In pleasant and friendly terms, telling him that he need not be in the least upset. And he not only pooh-poohed .Mr. Davis fear that he bad been Indiscreet In saying any thing at all; he wont much further, f. He referred to the misqutotatlon of Mr. Davis, to the effect that a third term was definitely out of the ques tion and, It Is understood on the best authority, stated in rather -positive fashion that, so far as he was con cerned, the mlsquoters of Mr. Davis bad hit the nail of his own attitude squarely on the head. In fact, the President Is said to have written that he had made up his mind not to run again. The second bit ol evidence la of more recent origin. Not so many weeks ago, one of those eminent but non-political foreign visitors with whom the President especially likes to expand, called at the White House. The visitors was an ardent admirer of the New Deal, a man of largo and inquiring mind, and one whose great interest was In coming events. Natur- (Coutlnued on Pa?e Pour.)
