When he opened his mouth his teeth glistened like real pearls. His hair was glossy black and stood up In graceful wavey plumes. It shone too without any brll lantlne and his voice his vole was like a rolling organ. Mrs. Row was plain." -(From letter.) rnnuu. want "Weasel Words!" . The late Theodore Roosevelt not the "New Deal" but the "Square Deal" President had a word for it. When "Teddy ran into forthrightness to say what thing which could be interpreted a number of ways and eave the speaker a back-door out so. to speak, he accused them of indulging in weasel words words that sucked out the force and application of other adjoining words. The modern term is "double talk. WELL, the perfect example of this sort of thing has now been presented toward the end of this campaign by the "New Deal" Roosevelt. It is contain ed in the statement made unwillingness to campaign partisan political sense. That statement, was made in a letter from Presl dent Roosevelt to Chairman Hannegan, prior to the f ormer s nomination at Chicago. 1 here was no quali fication. whatever, made at that time. e e J ATER, however, in his " delivered to the convention the President repeat ed the statement with the following amplication: We quote : ' "I shall not campaign in the usual sense for this office. In these days of tragic sorrow I do not find it fitting. Be sides, in these days of global warfare I shall not be able to find the time." So that was that. Not only the American press, but the American people took that to mean dent would NOT take any that could be termed campaign trips for it would neither be fitting nor as Commander in Chief of the army and navy would the President have the time. I AST week, however, as everyone knows President Roosevelt made a special trip to New York City. While there he not only made a typical campaign speech but toured the streets of the great metropolis city, in spite of a heavy rain, in typical campaign style, receiving in fine fettle the plaudits of the multi tude, A few days later it was anonunced from the White House that the President would not only travel to Chicago to make a speech in answer to the request of his friend, Boss Kelly, but he would also make speeches or "appearances" at Philadelphia, Wilming ton, Delaware; Camden, N. J.; Ft. Wayne, Indiana; Cleveland, Detroit, possibly Buffalo and Boston. Incidently all stops in districts are or vast political importance in this campaign. Small wonder that at a subsequent press confer ence it was asked whether or not the President con sidered THIS campaigning "in the usual partisan po litical sense." The President in great good humor replied it was not. Moreover he contended the press had been guilty of only quoting a portion of his statement regarding the matter that he had also said in the same pro nouncement, we quote: "I shall, however, feel free to report to the people the facts about matters of concern to them and especially to correct any misrepresentation." IN other words what would appear to be campaign- ing in the usual sense, by a President running for reelection is not that at all but merely reporting to the people, particularly in the way of correcting misrepresentation. And one might remark in properly and "correct" adequately, Boss Kelly has found it necessary to engage Soldiers Field and de clares it will be packed with 100,000 cheering Demo crats when "Our Next President" arrives! But even this insisted the an inquiry of his press conference, is NOT campaign ing in the "USUAL sense!" e e e UO hum ! So it goes in this quadrennial hippodrome. known to all and sundry as a presidential election. We certainly have no Quarrel with the President as a candidate for a 4th term, making a3 many politi cal speeches as he wishes to make; touring as much of the country as he may desire, or his campaign managers may deeifi advisable. But it docs irk us considerably to have him rbi- SIST in his contention that campaigning "in the usual merely touring the country correct misrepresentations ! e a e XniT didn't why doesn't the President frankly admit that when he made that original state ment about not campaigning in the "usual sense" he honestly believed it. He thought then it would NOT be fitting and even more important it would NOT be NECESSARY. But as matters developed and the Republican tide grew stronger and stronger, the President changed hia mind. That is anyone's right. He became convinced that unless he did get busy, abandon everything in cluding his duties as Commander-in-Chief and take to the road and campaign IN the usual sense, he and his party faced defeat, and that was something that of course could not be tolerated for a moment, no mat ter what might happen elsewhere. m CO campaigning in the USUAL accepted sense WAS taken up, and having left that loophole em ployed the weasel-word technique his 27th cousin thrice removed so scathingly denounced the Presi dent persisted in maintaining it was and is nothing of the sort, but merely reporting "to the people the facts about matters of concern to them and especially correcting misrepresentation !" The word MISREPRESENTATION certainly provides a PERFECT "stop!" someone who lacked the he thought, or said some regarding the President's for a 4th term in the "usual radio acceptance speech, what it said, that the Presi trips around the country passing that to "report President, in answer to even NOW he is not sense" of the term, but to infoun the people and e News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Oct. 26 T h hoopla campaign speeches of bolting Senator Ball are relating that Mr. Roose velt has taken a strong for eign policy and Dewey a weak one. but this general ization doe violence to the facts of the matter Here is the way it hap pened: Ball, a Paul Mallon 39-year-old re publican not very widely known, became Identified with a world peace propaganda organization as its senatorial spokesman some years back. The secretary of the peace promotional outfit is Ulric Bell long a close new deal newsman here, and a worker for the White House. Both Ball and the organ ization represent an extraordin ary if not an extreme viewpoint which has been quite clearly presented. e a - TTHE accounts of his bolt neg- lectcd to say he submitted three questions to both Roose velt and Dewey, according to his own story. These questions rep resented what he considered the important matters of the hour. (1) The world organization should be set up before the peace is signed; (2) No reservations should be permitted, and (3) The United States agent on the big four council should have the power to order the use of Amer ican troops without the consent of congress, or possibly even of the president (the latter aspect has not been mentioned). Ball says both Dewey and Roosevelt answered the first questions satisfactorily to him. As a matter of fact they did so publicly, and not in connection with the Ball Inquiry, which Mr. R. shunted aside at a press con ference as "premature." But a few days later In his foreign policy speech, Mr. Roose velt advocated the use of war power by the United States agent on me council, saying it would take too long in these days of undeclared wars to get congres sional consent. e - O Ball aggressively pierced the units on foreign policy between the republican and democratic leadership to raise an issue which certainly transcends the Importance of his bolt. (He has no personal political follow ing of importance In Minesota. where the prevailing Stassen or ganization of which he was a member is saying that "Ball got the big head.") The question then Is not whether there shall be a weak or strong foreign policy, or any other question than whether an American diplomat shall have the unrestrained power to de clare war. That Is an Issue which might well have been delayed for settlement after this cam paign is over. It was pressed Into this cam paign not by Isolationists or fascists or disruptionists, but by Ball and his organization. Ob viously thov Hn nnt unnt unltv on foreign policy urWess It beize- unity behind them on the third 1 point. The only Issue then Is "Shall the United States agent on the peace board declare war?" It seems to me that question could have been resolved amic ably and satisfactorily without disturbing the unity which State Secretary Hull and pewey have worked so long and hard to pre serve. The constitution gives the power of declaring war to the representatives of the people In congress, and the constitution cannot be amended by a major ity of congress. Ratification by three-fourths of the states would be necessary, a long and In this case, needless procedure. Ways could be found to prevent the agent from getting the country Involved wrongly or stupidly. But whatever way is found it must be in conformance with the constitution. Thus suddenly It now becomes clear the isolationists are not the only ones who could wreck the peace. A stubborn, persistent stand by International extrem ists for an unwise or unconstitu tional method could bring the same unhappy and unrequired result.
