A Third Term for F. D. R.?
AN OLD subscriber and friend, asks what we think
of a third term for President Roosevelt.
Well we don't think much of it
Conditions may change, of course, before con
vention time comes around, but at this writing we
would say a third term for F. D. R. would be bad
for him, bad for his party, and bad for the country.
THAT'S not because we have any deep reverence
for the anti-third term tradition; nor any fear
WHATEVER of a Roosevelt dictatorship, (the Amer
ican people have, at any given time, a perfect right
to elect any candidate for President, third termer,
fourth termer or first termer, they may wish).
But because, we believe President Roosevelt has
done his job, a very excellent one, and is neither
fitted by temperament nor character for the job that
will confront this country, for the next four years.
IN FACT at this stage of the game, we are strong
for a capable Conservative to sit in the White
House, from 1941 to 1945, and we don't mean neces
sarily a Republican. He might be Secretary Hull or
"Cactus Jack" Garner, or our own General Martin,
but he wouldn't be President Roosevelt, or any of
his starry-eyed New Dealers, who have also done
their jobs and are also entitled to enjoy a well earned
rest for the next quadrennian.
This attitude, far from being any reaction
against, or betrayal of, the New Deal, is quite the
reverse.
It proceeds, in fact, from a desire to see the
ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES of the New Deal pre
served, and incorporated into the living flesh of our
political economy, instead of being further extended,
and in all likelihood, cut out, by the revulsion of
feeling that would follow ANOTHER period of
REVOLUTION.
TOR that is what has REALLY happened in this
country the last seven years. There has been a
social and economic revolution earned on, under the
courageous leadership and skillful political general
ship of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. No force nor
bloodshed connected with it, its true, but it has been
a revolution nevertheless, a peaceful and yet a most
far-reaching one.
In these seven years, the country has probably
advanced more rapidly in these two directions, so
cial and economic, than in any 70 years preceeding,
and in this columns judgment generally in the right
direction.
But that's the point, it is because of that
RAPID advancement in that SHORT time that we
want a different type of person in the White House,
because we are oonvinced that if elected for a third
term, President Roosevelt could no more give the
country, a period of rest, stabilization and reconstruc
tion, than, well than a Teal duck could behave like
a Klamath Falls pelican! It JUST ISN'T IN HIM. He
must change things and change them fast, or do
nothing, and he would NEVER do nothing!
So-o-o, if President Roosevelt were returned to
the White House for the third term it would be, both
for him and for the country, a major disaster. For
what the country ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE
needs during the next four years it would be unable
to HAVE!
Isn 7 Partisanship
QF COURSE the rebuttal to the above will be, that
this is merely a slick rationalization of the de
sire to see the Democrats kicked kicked out and the
Republicans put in, but that is certainly not the
case, as far as this department is concerned.
In fact while the present writer has always been
a Republican, and is still registered as one, we
don't believe anyone who has read this column at all
consistently, will deny that we have no illusions re
garding the "Grand Old Party", and for at least half
acainst Secy, j a dozen years have been pretty thoroughly "RE
litting they do OUSTED" with it!

things, (one) an absence of partisan hostility to the
main purposes of the Roosevelt program, and.
(Two) An ability at the White House to steer
clear of control by the Big Business interests of the
country, which a small, but well-organized minority,
of the Republican party is ALWAYS working for.
CO THERE is certainly no partisanship in our op-
position to a third term for President Roosevelt.

presidential cou.. nave been so
aptly managed as the appoint
ment of Myron C. Taylor as
special peace ambassador to the
Vatican. It was the sort of move,
neatly combining ingenuity, ef
fectiveness and surprise, in
which the president most de
lights. Some day, perhaps, it
will produce tangible results.
One can only hope so.
Meanwhile, certain circum
stances of the Taylor appoint
ment have great present inter
est. Its history is rather simple.
The president has greatly ad
mired the Pope ever since their
lunch together at Hyde Park,
during the Popes visit to this
country. Not very long after the
war began, he began to wish for
closer cooperation between our
government and the Vatican in
the interest of world peace. He
conceived the plan of sending a
special envoy to the Holy See,
and proceeded to test H out.
The testing was done through
Archbishop Francis J. Spellmsn. of
New York, who hss Inherited Card
inal Mundeleln's position as the
White House confidant In the Cath
olic hierarchy. Tbe Vatican's gen
sral asa'nt was obtslned, and every
detail of the project was carefully

of a protestant for ths new am

The message to the pope wm
transmitted through Archbishop
Speliman, and, as soon a the re
action could be checked, the Arch
bishop had another long conference
with the president. They were both
pleased, not unnturally. at the
move's enthusiastic reception.
Specifically, the move preetages
Joint action for peace by pope and
president. If and when the time
comes.
The possibility of Joint action was,
of course, discussed during the pre
liminary arrangements. As no other
men ln the world csn speak for
pesce with equal authority, the fact
that this was the president's pri
mary objective Is of no mean Im
portance. In most things the president does.
however, there are also secondary
and sometimes tertiary objectives.
In this Instance, the president has
gone far to counteract the extreme
Isolationist sentiment prevslent
among the millions of Irish Roman
Catholics. Now that the president
has setually Joined hands with the
Vatican, his foreign policy will hard
ly be so open to attack by men
like Father Charles S coughlln.
Slmultsneously, the president hss
greatly strengthened his connection
with the church's liberal wing. Like
other great and powerful Institu
tions, the Catholic church In Amer
ica ts not wholly at one with Itself
at least on non-eccleelsstlcsl ques
tions. Politically speaking the
church hss a conservative wing,

Crushed down by power of sin
To rise in faith triumphant
And n hettpr life heffin.
To help the haughty bigot
j Clothed in selfishness and pride
Feel a closer touch with others
Washed clean by Calvary's tide.
To forget our stress of duty
In the greater call of love,
To strive to live more closely
To our Master gone above;
To help the careless mortals
Life's stream is bearing down
To adopt a zeal and purpose
And strive for a victor s crown.
'Till we stand before the Judg
ment, Life's journey all complete.
There we'll meet our risen
Saviour
At the blood washed Mercy
Seat And shall hear His voice com
mending The help our hands have given
To help His lost and wandering
ones
Back on the road to Heaven.
