Mk. Roosevelt's
Plede . .
T HERE ARE TWO important things
in President Roosevelt's latest de-
fense message, and both will win the overwhelm-
ing approval of the public.
irst is the huge amount asked for, dedicated
to "total defense," with the President's assertion
that America is determined to summon up its
strength to make certain that no outside threat
can imperil our country and its free institutions.
Second is the definite pledge, the strongest
and most specific he has as yet made that "we
will not send men to take part in Europe's wars."
Such a specific statement can be attributed
to only one thing: that the President has heard
and been impressed by the overwhelming flood
of disapproval provoked by his bellicose speech
at Charlottesville exactly a month before.
Since the war began, Mr. Roosevelt has made
many statements intended to reassure those
who feared this country would be involved. But
there have been sly reservations and loopholes,
as pointed out even by his friendly interpreters,
Alsop and Kintner, in "American White Paper":
There is no reason to suppose that his
mind would be closed, if the need arose, to
assisting the democracies with our navy and
Air force. He mentioned the possibility in
his tallt with Murphy (then Attorney-Gen-
eral). And he has been significantly chary
of loose Wilsonian promises, declaring -only
that an American army would not be sent
to Europe, and expressing the hope and be-
lief that we would remain at peace. (Bold
face in original.)
This time, there is no evasion. Not merely
"We will not send our army," but "We will not
send our men," and that can be interpreted
only to include aviators and seamen as well as
land soldiers.
Mr. Roosevelt is on record, and the same
powerful public opinion that rejected the Char-
lottesville outburst is determined to hold him to
his expressed resolve. Not that vigilance will
relax. The doings at Washington, permeated
as they have been with war fever for weeks,
will be under close public scrutiny as the na-
tion- rushes to build its defenses.
These will be defenses built by free men to
insure the continued freedom of their country.
They will be the greatest demonstration ever
seen of American resources and industrial ge-
nius. A world awed by the dictators' legend of
invincibility will be shown that, in Mr. Roose-
velt's stirring words, "We are determined to.
be strong as well as free."
This traditionally peace-loving nation comes
late into the world-wide armaments contest.
That explains the huge size of the proposed
fund..
In every phase of national defense, as expert

after expert has testified, our forces are woe-
fully undermanned and under-equipped. A huge
task is ahead: the providing of ships, planes,
tanks, supplies-all the instruments of war-to
be ready an'd waiting should an invader threaten
our hemisphere.
Great masses of men are no longer the
prime need, as modern war has developed, and
the President's proposals wisely include merely
the adequate training of ample manpower, not
a tremendous standing army. If some form of
selective training is necessary to get skilled men,
the country will readily accept Mr. Roosevelt's
recommendations to that end..
As the world aggressors grow more powerful
by each stunning conquest, we will have to work
fast and work hard to build up our own instru-
ments of force, which constitute the only argu-
ment these ruthless men respect. We will have
to make democracy work; we will have to repair
its shortcomings, and curb any sign of the greed

We see by the usual sources that British
housewives are contributing their aluminum
kitchen utensils to the Royal Air Force, the
better to equip the said air force to bomb the
kitchens of German women. The honor of
bombing has been dealt with at length and
with other considerations paramount, but
this culinary angle deserves consideration.
The British cookery has long been neglect-
ed in favor of the French, but it is none the
less worthy for all that. If Yorkshire pud-
ding is to be ruined for lack of aluminum
then the time is ripe indeed for a peaceful
solution. And if the kitchens where Bethle-
hemsarkuchen (one word, German Dept.
please note) are concieved are to be destroy-
ed, then war exacts too heavy a price in-
deed.
Since our maternal -grandfather was named
Michael Joseph we have a special interest in
the next piece of information that comes over
the wire. It seems that our favorite Irishman,
Eamon de Valera (not James Morrissey, as might
have been suspected), has utterly declined to
make any further talk with the authorities of
North Ireland (British) because (1) he does not
consider that the danger of a German invasion
is at all imminent, and (2) if it comes the
Irish will repel it themselves and (3) he wants
no British soldiers in Ireland for any purpose
whatsoever.
Whether he is right or wrong is hardly
for us to state, but there can be no doubt
that he has the support of Ireland in not
wanting British soldiers around, and in the
firm (and firmly mistaken) belief that the
Irish can defend themselves. They can do
nothing of the sort and Mr. Valera should
know it, but he isn't the only blind states-
man in the world today and his record is
better than most. Just why he has this blind
confidence that the Germans will pass him
by we cannot say. If we were Mr. von Keitgl
and cohorts we should invade Ireland first
and use it s a base to starve England.
Napoleon and Louis XIV both had the same
idea but lacked resources. In any case it
looks to us .as though the only possible help
for the Irish was from England.
It is ironic that the English with bad inten-
tions were for so many years able to govern
Ireland and now with (comparatively) good in-
tentions they cannot even find so much as a
fox hole wherein to lay their heads. The sean
fan voght (and we don't have any idea what-
soever as to how to spell that and we admit it)
has come alive in earnest but the old Irish
lack of prudence and discretion came alive
with it. Like Cleopatra with Octavius, de Valera
is going to find that blarney does not work
with Hitler. The day the Irish say Vale Urittania
is also the day they must say Vale Hibernia.

WASHINGTON-The Washington Merry-
Go-Round makes the unequivocal prediction
that Franklin Roosevelt will run for a third
term.
The die was cast on Wednesday when the
President, after days of secret counselling with
intimates, finally bowed to their importunings
that he had to make the race, as the only
Democrat who could stand up against Wendell
Willkie.
Right up to the end Roosevelt shrank from
another campaign asserting that he wanted to
retire to private life and urging that Secretary
Cordell Hull be chosen.
Without exception the consulted Democratic
chiefs, both New Dealers and conservatives,
replied that he had no alternative, that he had
to make the race. They held that his refusal
to accept the nomination would precepitate such
a disastrous free-for.all at the Chicago conven-
tion as to destroy any chance of victory this
year.
Word of the President's decision was passed
out to a small group of insiders by Secretary
Harry Hopkins, who talked to them individ-
ually. Arrangements for the staging of the
"draft" will be completed in Chicago.
Hopkins will direct the proceedings as per-
sonal representativecof the President and will
be assisted by Secretary Harold Ickes, Attorney
General Bob Jackson, Senator Jimmy Byrnes
and Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago.
Hotel Man First
CHICAGO-The manager of the Congress
Hotel on famed Michigan Boulevard was one of
the first persons outside the innermost White
House group to get word that the President
would run again.
The hotel man was let in on the secret by a
member of the White House staff, who was
dispatched to Chicago to make arrangements
for the President's visit when he accept's the
"draft" nomination. The SecrethService agent
reserved a number of rooms for the president-
ial party and naturally had to explain why
he was doing so.
The choice of the Congress was made per-
sonally by Roosevelt. He stayed there when he
flew to Chicago in 1932 to make his first spec-
tacular acceptance speech, and during his two
successful campaigns.
The floor that will be occupied by the Presi-
dent, as well as the floor above and the one
below, have been under constant surveillance
since the reservation was made. During the
President's stay the entire hotel will be under
guard.
Travel arrangements have been made for the
President both by rail and plane. He wants to
fly but the Secret Service is opposed to that.
