appears already to have chosen
its candidate and to have out-
lined its campaign, for this year’s
presidential election. It did
both in a single phase of its reso-
lution coliciting President Roose-
velt to “continue as the great
world humanitarian leader. ’ ’
Of course, the actual nomina-
• tion and preparation of a plat-
form will be left until summer
when the party’s national con-
vention meets in Chicago, and it
is conceivable that Mr. Roose-
velt will refuse to run or that
events will change the Demo-
crats’ battle-cry. But the great
probability is that the President’s
party will find him more and
more indispensable1—to itself and
to the world.
The party generals arte follow-
ing a natural strategy. They
know public opinion polls have
several times indicated that a
majority of Americans would
vote for Mr. Roosevelt if the AVar.
was still going full tilt. They
realize that twelve years of his
rule have left no other Democrat
Avith Avhom they can hope to win
in a perold of Republican resurg-
ence.
The Democratic Committee def-
initely brings up the question of
Mr. Roosevelt’s influence abroad
when it speaks of “realizing bis
world leadership and knoAving
that our Allies are praying Avith
ns for the continuation of his
serA’ices both in Avar and peace.
Here is a factor Avhich American
voters cannot ignore, although
one Avonders Iioav many of them
Old disagreements Avith Congress
have carried over into dissension
on Avartime policies. And the
tendency tpAvard personal rule
has denied necessary authority'
to heads of war agencies. Other
less ob\rious ill effects have fol-
lowed the abandonment of the
two-term tradition. That these
will haCd'y lessen in a fourth
term must certainly be one of the
considerations AAThich Alters will
have to Aveigli as against . the
Democrats’ natural emphasis on
the President’s “world leader-
ship.—Christian Science Monitor.
ARBITRARY DATE
SUGGESTED
The. Senate Finance committee
has agreed to terminate the Avar
contracts Renegotiation act on
December 31, 1944, Avith the
President having poAver to term-
inate the legislation six months
befox'e, or six months after, the
date depending upon the restora-
tion of competitive conditions.
• The fixing of an arbitrary date
so close upon the existence of
hostilities, means that the gov-
ernment Avill have a deadline and
that it mayy be .physically im-
possible to consider all cases be-
fore the act expires. This Avoid d
be satisfactory, of course, to con-
tractors who do not desire any
renegotiation but it would not
be suitable to the American peo-
ple Avlio should have something
to say about their own interests,

much the President’s tremendous 1 kecoirie a more informed citi-
prestige in Latin America is j v f slvonlcl not the same syrn-
Avorth “in Avar and peace.” The patky ke extended to him in his
value of his relations Avith Win-
ston Churchhill and Joseph Stal-
in and all his experience with
the conduct of the Avar Will also
liave to be AAreiglied. To the
English it apparently seems as
improbable that Americans Avould
drop “F. D. R.” as that they
should get along without Win-
nie.” It is hard to realize that
the latter is, as Prime Minister,
a virtual upstart, coming to
poAver only after Mr. Roosevelt
had been in office seven years.
This is the case the Democrats
will naturally develop. As it
unfolds it should impress upon
Republicans the value of nomi-
nating a leader Ayho will not ap-
pear totally inadequate in the
field of foreign affairs. _
