If the American people,

' A great deal of time,
saved by abandoning the
and handing over the White House to franklin D
Roosevelt right now by
petuity.
COR IF,
The ONLY way to give
deal,
The ONLY way to attain adequate relief in time
of distress and adequate security in old age,
The ONLY way to keep out of war on one hand,
crush totalitarian aggression
to ourselves and to posterity American freedom and
security, is,
To return Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal to the
White House for FOUR MORE YEARS !
Then why all this delay and palaver?
Everyone wishes these things, and if this IS the
ONLY way to get them, why the battle is over, the
argument is ended, why continue the sham any
longer?
THE answer to this, of course, is the implications of
the President's speech are NOT TRUE, and mil
lions of Americans, just how many no one knows,
don't for a minute believe them to be true.
They don't deny the contributions the President
has made in these desirable directions, particularly
in his many favors granted to organized labor, but
they don't believe when the TRUE and permanent
welfare of labor, and this countiy, are concerned, any
one man or any one party has an absolute monopoly,
as far as the proper course to pursue is concerned.
jORE than that, many of them, again, just how
many no one knows, honestly believe the worst
thing that could happen to this country, and to or
ganized labor as a most important portion of it,
would be four more years of the New Deal, four
more years of increasing debt, four more years of in
creasing (or at least stabilized) unemployment, four
more years of class consciousness and class antagon
ism. In short, they don't believe the better welfare of
this country lies in the direction of granting special
favors to ANY one class, but in granting a SQUARE
DEAL TO ALL, and particularly,
In narrowing, not widening the breach between
business and labor, and returning this country, re
gardless of special class interests of any sort to a
capital-labor unity, cooperation and a common patri
otic endeavor.
DELIEVING as they do, they accept the chief aims
u of the President's speech as entirely desirable
(who doesn't?) but when he implies that HE and
HE ALONE can achieve them, they respectfully beg
to differ, they deny that he or any one individual in
this democracy is indispensible, and will register that
opposition most EMPHATICALLY at the polls in
November!
He'll Never Quit!
fF course in this campaign the President, any
President, has a tremendous advantage.
This would be true at any time. But it is particu
larly true, at this time, with war threatening, uncer
tainty growing, and the chief executive possessing the
largest and most perfectly functioning political ma
chine ever created in the country's history.
THERE is also the matter of prestige. As Mr. Willkie
1 once remarked, Mr. Roosevelt is the "champ," and
has the psychological advantage of the "champ."
For nearly eight years now he has KO'ed all
comers, with merely a twist of the political wrist, and
no opponent can arise without having that disturbing
fact in the back of his mind. .
Just as a large percentage of Joe Louis' opponents
are beaten before the gong rings, so many Republi
cans hear those dulcet tones over the air. and imme-

billion dollars and the "master's voice."
RT 'u CAN. Just as
ranted in Republican circles, neither is defeatism.
There is always a time when the champ becomes
the EX-champ and that time is usually when the wise
boys least expect it. (Look up the record of Gene
Tunncy, for example, and the late Jim Corbett.)
At any rate this much may be said :
This year's Republican candidate isn't going to be
beaten before HE starts.
Some of Mr. Willkie's backers mav be getting cold
feet, but not Wendell Willkie. He is rarin to go, and
when he said he wanted to meet "the champ" he
meant even- word of it.
UE may lose. That is ALWAYS possible. But put
this in your pipe and smoke it, he isn't going to
be beaten before the knock-out!

"We grow it

it in the basement where it

We have winter cabbage, but

Celery is equal to raw cab

calcium (lime) and phosphorus.
It is equal to lettuce or cabbage
as a source of vitamin A, vita

unbleached or green leaves of
celery are richer than the
bleached leaves or stalks in vita

should be eaten, not thrown

case he rightly was incensed.
The concern happened to be
one whose relations with the
government are extremely un
friendly. Nelson telephoned the
president of 'the corporation.
and in no uncertain terms told
him that unless the navy's order
was filled at once, he would
recommend to the president
that legal priorities be invoked.
It took the steel official Just
about three seconds to make up
his mind. The navy order was
filled promptly.
THIS case has not turned defense
commission mrmhers from their
conviction that a voluntary system
Is the bcltrr method of obtaining
speedy re-srmsment. They look on
It as an exception rather than the
rule. However. It has Increased the
conviction of a grest many high gov

and raw onion both provide con'

the potato crop has been fol

to most readers today. Yet it is
still a fairly prevalent disease,

similar to that of the steel concern:
"We were having great difficulty,"
Baruch recalled, "with one of the
strongest men In the whole Indus
trial field. He Intimated, In a very
diplomatic and politic way, that they
were not going along, and that would
be that. So I took out a letter
which I had on me, signed by Wood
row Wilson, authorizing me to say
that he would take over the plants,
and particularly this one. In case
we were unable to come to some
agreement."
The Industrialist. Baruch contin
ued, recognized the potent threat,
but countered that he could "Just
sit home." Barouchs answer was:
"Well you cannot Just sit home be
cause you are going to have a hell
of a time explaining It to the peo
ple at home why you are not running
your plant." The Industrialist capit
ulated. It may well be that the Importance
of the "conscription of wealth." as
It Is commonly called, will rest on
the threst to take over, rather than
tile actual taking over of non-cooperative
Industry. But It Is obvious
that such government power must be
greatly circumscribed to prevent
abuse.

We have heard much, since

of it being "The Democratic

Republican convention was run
In the good old democratic way."

stood that in a democracy the
people should have a voice in
the selection of their nominees.

A Berlin dispatch says: "The

German officials and news

would be funny.
T'HIS writer, a firm believer

believes that if a bomb has to

"The German air attacks so

What he is attempting to do
is to brace British morale, for
if Britain's will to fight is

What he says in this hour of
