And yet, despite that, once the menace of dictator-j ship became clear, the country re-; versed its previous stand and decided that the peace-time draft was the i lesser of the evils. The mechanics of the law are sim- pie enough.

Next month every man in the nation between the ages of 91 anH iniMaivo will or, tn i Before getting down to the point of this article it should be borne in mind that Mr. Roosevelt is a candidate for a third term only because of his own consuming ambition tt succeed himself plus the equally consuming desire on the part of his political ap pointees and other New Deal beneficiaries to keep their preferred status The so-called "draft" movement was a fake from beginning to end. Mr. Roosevelt did not become a candidate for a third term because of popular demand even within his own party, His nomination was snared by reason of his own efforts and the manipula tions of the inner-circle crowd, led by Ickes and Harry Hopkins. It was the latter who said "the people are too damned dumb to understand, anyway." Maybe we are pretty dumb alright, but we certainly saw through the brazen scheme to perpetuate themselves In office Indefinitely In an ignoble fashioi Having thus manipulated the nomination the question now is if they can do the same thing in the matter of election.

Mr. Roosevelt, the "unwilling" candidate, says he will make no political speeches and do nothing to and most certainly in times of national emergency. So, what happens? Enrollees in the WPA are increased even when several million men are being put back to work by private in dustry incident to war preparedness operations. Four years ago when Roosevelt was a candidate for the sec ond term the scandal of the use to which WPA employment for political purposes was so bad that he had to rem0ve Director Hopkins, who was rewarded, nevertheless, with a higher commission. The New York Mayor had refused to come out for Roose velt's third term idea until this impor tant post satisfied his vanity and con- vinced him that Roosevelt was the "indispensable man." Most of La Guardia's time is now being spent trying to re-elect Roosevelt and if jthis is accomplished he will probably become Secretary of War.

Roosevelt needs the Italian vote influence to counteract his "knife in the back" speech against Mussolini. Then, for and hand out war munitions contracts Maybe, as Hopkins says, we are just too dumb to understand these things. We wonder. Washington Daybook By Jack Stinnett By JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON Item on the Brit ish point of view (this story isn't new I but it has never been told and in view! of what is going on in England it is, I think, worth the telling:) A few weeks ago, President Roosevelt received from some old friends of his in England, whose names must remain no more than Lord and Lady Blank, a long letter. The bulky envelope ontained a vast number of clippings from the small-town newspapers of England, Scotland and Wales and each of them was a humorous or human interest interpretation of some happening that had occurred during the Nazi bombings.

An old woman, during an air attack, had herded her pigs and cows into an air shelter, but had herself remained outside; a village squire, whose fashionable marriage had been interrupted by an air raid alarm, kissed his bride in the candled dusk of the local shelter and signalled the village's hoi-polloi to join him in the wedding celebration; an ancient veteran of other days had refused to take cover and stumped about, adding great oaths to the anti-aircraft shells that were hurled at the invaders. Clipping after clipping recounted some spirited tale of British John Smith's attitude toward his tormentors. But what impressed the President far more was that his old friends had not one word to say about the havoc being visited on London. Instead, they concluded their letter thus: "Mail travels slowly and we have just heard with great sorrow of the terrific storms which have swept over your southern states. We sincerely hope that no damage has come to that beautiful old city of Charleston."

There are occasions when some youthful impulse gets the better of them.

At the recent funeral services of the late speaker. Willinm Bankhead, there wasn't a page who didn't deport himself with proper respect and sin cerity, but when the ceremony was over and the house chamber cleared. small group of them gathered in awe- struck silence about the chair In front of the Speaker's dais in which President Roosevelt had sat. Not a word was said, but four of the bnys, bolder than the rest, marched solemnly up to the chair, settled back in it for a moment and, without a smile or a brag, walked out of the chamber. Hopkins Will Be Heard Item for future reference: Harry Hopkins, recently resigned as secre- tary of commerce, and for many years one of the President's most trusted friends and advisers, has left Wash- ington and taken up residence in Es- sex House, looking from the south I across New York City's great Central Park.

The one-time social sen Ice worker who rose so high in government coun-cilB and resigned his cabinet post be-, cause of ill health is. according to close friends, no richer than when he I came to Washington and in order to maintain himself will, in spite of ill- ness, devote his time to writing and lecturing. Friends say that almost immediate-1 ly you can look for magazine articles from Hopkins on matters social and political and that books on govern- ment affairs probably will follow. I FRENCH RETALIATE- (Continued from Page One coordinator of all the French forces denied that Dakar was menaced by any power (the British have contended that Germany was intending to seize it). "In trying to occupy this key to the South Atlantic the English were only following their own personal interests," he said.

Details of the British action against Dakar were meager but it was thought here that the battle was continuing. Whether any British raiding parties hud succeeded in getting a foothold on the mainland was not learned. SHELLING CONTINIES VICHY. France, Sept. 24.

It is believed certain, however, that men with dependents will not be called unless war comes. Wbat will be the effect of the draft on our economic order? Only time can answer that question fully, but some of the results can be easily fore seen. The bulk of healthy, single men will be temporarily taken away from the society they are used to. They won't be marrying and building homes. They won't be earning good wages and spending them.

Their places will be taken by older men, or by men whose physical status makes them unfit for military life. And when, the year's training over, these young men are released, another dislocation will take place. The draft law provides that every employer who is able to, must take the conscripts back, and put them in the same jobs at the same wages. That will mean that men taken on in the meantime to do the work must be discharged. In some cases, men who have spent a year in the army will be slow to get back again into the routine of their jobs, and that will involve loss of time and money.

All in all, the draft law will unquestion- I ably create many a problem for industry no less than the individual. It doesn't make a pleasant picture. And certainly, a peace-lime draft is, in principle, opposed to what this kind of a country and government stands for. But few oppose the action of congress in adopting it. Ill-trained soldiers, in modern war, become slaughtered soldiers.
