Editorial Correspondence
Chicago, 111., July 20. The weather man must be a Demo
crat. Aa long at the convention was on, he tempered the heat
to the woolly Bourbon lamb. But now with the stadium closed
and the Democrats flown, he has turned it on and HOW I
.
At this it being written it's 94 in the shade, which out in
the Rogue River valley would mean approximately 194, for the
humidity here just about doublet the poison. We would much
rather tit tinder a eold shower than peek at thit machine,
but there's work to b done, aye, there's work to be done!.
So here goes,
Yet, he mutt be a Democrat, for a Republican would have
cut off those cool lake breezet and refreshing nights, thereby
killing at least a thousand long-suffering followers of Franklin
DELANO Roosevelt. (By the way, do you know how to pro
nounce Delano and Rooaeveltt If you do you know more than
nine out of ten of the speakers at the stadium. The pronuncia
tions were to different and to wierd we got up a penny ante
game in our section of the press gallery, your correspondent end
ing up three cents ahead, by selecting Delano with the accent
on the first syllable.)
And that mortality crack isn't entirely faeetioui.
At it it we venture to say it will take months for many a good
Democrat to recover from the effects of the gathering. Had
heat and humidity been added to the strain on the heart and
soul, the mortality, and we mean if, might have been terrific!
For now that one can get a perspective, it was, we believe,
one of the most depressing, dispiriting and all-around DIS
COITRAGING conventions the Democratic party has ever held.
The agonies it caused varied of course, but it is our firm
conviction that no one was pleased with it, or its results, and
this goes for the President, and all the way on down the line.
And aside from those who were plastered all the time, and
some were, we are quite certain NO ONE had a good time.
Imagine en passant how the plastered ones are feeling this
hot, dank and steaming morning 1
The two convention pictures that cling with us, in retros
pect, are, we believe, typical of the entire proceeding.
FIRST, there it Jim Farley, chewing gum nervously, tears
in his eyes gazing at that whoopla celebration for President
Roosevelt at in spite of the chairman's efforts to check it (half
hearted onet) it went ON AND ONI We never suspected the
somewhat vacant, atony and arid features of the Postmaster
General COULD depict such depths of woe and depression!
Second, there is the venerable but valiant Senator Glass
after (hat speech of his against
lying back in hit chair, hit strong but colorless face com
pletely expressionless, hit dignified bride of a few weeks hold
ing one hand, while with the
leaf fan! .
Put those two figures in atone,
in the archivet of the Democratic,
the Chicago convention of 19401
We note the oddt on Wall
clined to be sentimental about
this convention started from 2 to 1 on Roosevnlt, to 10 to 9.
Well, we should say that 'a just about how the F. D. R. stock has
declined since last Monday evening.
ror this convention has brought into sharp relief two tlimes:
First, there is a serious split in the ranks of the Democratic
party over Roosevelt and the third term.
Second, some of the most sinister and corrupt political forces
in the country are behind Roosevelt, working for Roosevelt, and
for one reason and one reason alone: If Roosevelt is re-elocted
they will continue in power, and if he isn't they won't. And
this Kclly-Nash crew here in Chicago is only one of them. (And
let no one-try to present an alibi for this cut-throat ennr?. we
didn't tit within earshot of them
And unless the morale of the
ershin radically chanire from what it is today, we predict those
odds will continue to drop from
put a bold front on for the press,
behind the scenes, and we know, the really wise ones are
selling short in the future book right now!
Having contributed one smaclcer to the watch for Jim Farley
from hit friends in the press section, we went around to his
final press conference to see the same presented.
They can say what they wish of Jim Farley, and Westbronk
Pegler has said considerable, one can't help but like and re
spect him, at the present time
He isn t an intelligent or thoughtful person. lie is, to us at
least, almost entirely devoid of color or charm, but one does
feel he is absolutely genuine, honest, and loyal in the extreme.
We imagine the real story of the break between rarley and
Roosevelt would make great copy and throw a revealing siilo
liirht upon their respective and dissimilar characters, but it
very likely will never be told. We are iiite certain Jim will
never tell it, anil Roosevelt would have no reason to do so,
for we doubt if it is of much importance to him.
Hut obviously Jim has been very much hurt, and we have
no doubt it was Mrs. Roosevelt's keen appreciation of this fact
that impelled her to preface her remarks to the convention with
that simple, but sincere, tribute to him.
One newspaper man, very close to Farley, told us that after
that memo-able conference at Hyde Park the other day, Farley
refused to say anything in his conference, but afterward blurted
out to no one in particular: "He's a great President, but what a
snob, man, WHAT a snob!"
If that's true, we can't vouch for it, it is certainly a novel
criticism of the "Great Humanitarian!" And yet we have an
idea it may be a natural reaction for a hard-working upstate lad
brought up in Tammany, toward a country gentleman of the
Roosevelt type, who unlike Jim, never put his personal loyal
ties above his loyalties to principles, often holds to policies
and discards men.
Our South Carolina friend, who was strong for Willkie at
Philadelphia, was even stronger for President Roosevelt here,
and intends to work for him. He doesn't agree at all with Wall
Street regarding the election, dismisses it as the most flagrant
example of wishful thinking. In fact, regards the re-clwtion
of Roosevelt at absolutely certain, for he says no candidate
can get New York or Illinois away from him. Without these
two states, he declares, Willkie can't win.
There is no point in arguing with him either. when S. 0.
knows a thing he KNOWS it.
(However, we did persuade him to put up a stnnll offerinir.
which will land up in Southern Oregon if Willkie should sur
prise him.)
Under the circumstances, therefore. such blind Roosevelt
devotion, we were surprised to have him agree with our view
of the hokum in that radio acceptance speech of the President's
early yesterday morninj.
"Oh, sure," said he, "tha President is mnkitij a virtue of
necessity. A man in hit position has to. Like T.R , F DR. i a
very practical man. lie didn't keep his mouth shut because the
country would have suffered had he shown his hand, lie kept
mum because, from his standpoint, it was smart politic to do so.

it, and having so decided, naturally he w ts out totlF.T il

tion to get together, both in hit party and outside, perfect
strategy and plans, and put up their STRONGEST MAN. Even
more important, perhaps, there would have been time to arouse
and crystalize PUBLIC OPINION throughout the country
against him and the third term. In which case it might very well
have resulted in his withdrawal, or if not that, a far more
disastrous fight within hit party than has occurred, and that's
been no Epworth League camp meeting, either.
"Oh, sure, I don't deny that. Neither do Ieny that the
President is a smoothy when it comes to political tactict and
manipulation or if he saw an opportunity to gain an important
objective, politically speaking, he wouldn't, if need be, sacri
fice his best friend.
"I have no illusions about F.D.R. any more than I had about
T.R.; both great men, and essentially right in their aims, at
least, as I see them.
"So I am for them. But there ia no argument regarding
that early morning radio speech, as far as I am concerned. He
didn't tell the truth, about why he did thus and so, bjt most
of the people will believe he did, and, oh, hell ! bunko, when
you come down to brass tacks what's the truth ANYWAY, and
what's it got to do with POLITICS if you can't be a realist and
ruthless in this game, you better not go into it, not as a big
shot in the Mig League, anyway. If you do, you're just wasting
your time!" R.W.R.

Washington, July 23. The
convention miasma is fading,
and the realities of life in this
year of very dubious grace are
beginning to loom asa u. One
of these is tne almost unbear
able problem of the English
children. Despite the desperate
need for rofuge of millions of
these children, and the willing
ness even agerness of litei
ally hundreds of thousands of
Americans to take the children
into thrlr homes, nothing is be
ing done to bridge the gap.
The (tap consists of thr. thou
sand mile of ocean, mined and sub-niarme-lnlrstrd.
Three weeks ao.
the British ministry of shipping 'aa
prepared to evacuate the children IB
large numbers, and the obstacle to
evacnstlon was the Incredible red
tape which state department bureau

dren's feet. The red-tape haa now
been cut. But meanwhile, besides
the Arandora star and the Cartnthla.

doned

British had 466 destroyers at the
nd of the laat war. they now have
far leae than half that number and
must uae all they have to hold the
channel. Thue tt la useless to hope
that the British ajorernment will
change lta mind, and aend children
to thla country in Brltlah bottoms.
It would be a trajtc mistake It the
government did ao.
A vast tonnage of American ship
pins of course, available to bring
tha children to the safe places which
await them In tha United States.
Under an exception of the neutrality 1
act allowed some months ago by
congress, the Red Cmea la permitted !
to send ehlps Into marine combat'
conea for relief purposes, so long as
safe conducts are obtained from tha
German government.
Aa It happens, the Red Cross pro-!
poses to carry on an txtenstve relief
program thla winter In the Europ
ean nations for which Germany Is
now responsible. Tha V. B. govern
ment Is considering contributing
part of tha American food surplus
for thla purpose. Many wise heads
doubt S9 advisability of allowing
neutral American generosity thus to
give Indirect aid to Germany against
the national Interest. But If this
aid la to be given, certainly safe con
ducts for Red Cross child rescue
ships should be asked as its price.
A strong movement foe this pur
pose la now afoot. The Red Cross
also has Its bureaucracy, and It seems
to be somewhat unwilling to move.
The administration, afflicted with
the counsels of opportunists. Is not
anxious to take a daring part. But.
But the problem is so dramatic, the
plan la so reasonable that action li
at least possible. If the German
government la publicly asked to
choose between seeing Europe starve
and bomlng the children, or letting
the children escape and seeing Europe
fed. It seems Inconceivable that even
the gangster minds now in power In
Germany can hesitate for long.
The acuteness of the need of the
EnglUh children can hardly be ex
aggerated. The children of Spain,
except at Guernica, knew no such
intensive bombing as the English
children will know. Yet In the
camps of Spanish child refugees,
competent welfare workers found that
their horrible experiences had so Im
bued the children's minds that they
could think, and talk, and picture
nothing but the horrors of war.
Many of them, tt was feared, could
never grow up into normal men and
women.
Nor can one exaggerate the gener
ous eagerness of the American people
to meet the need of the English chil
dren. Instances csn be multiplied
indefinitely. Perhaps the moat tell
ing is the story of tha Italian (arm
laborer and his wife, with four chil
dren of thetr own and no huge sum
to keep them on. Against the advice
of their employer and deepite the
fact their home-land la at war with
England, this humble Italian couple
insisted on applying to the child
refugee committee to be allowed to
care for sn English child. Under the
circumstances it seems doubtful that
even such teolsttonlsts as Burton K.
Wheeler and Bennett Champ Clark
win dare to utve that the children
be left to far their fate.
