Pledge of Support to
Democratic Foes of
Plan Sden Vital.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
ALTHOUGH party lines are not
drawn in the Supreme Court
controversy and there are
about as many Democrats in
the United States Senate opposed to
the President's plan as Democrats
who favor it, there is little doubt
inar sometnmg
definite and fun
damental in the
evolution of
American politi
cal parties has
occurred.
For years the
prediction has
been made that
sooner or later
there would be
a realignment of
parties in Amer
ica along con
servative and:
radical cleavages.
But most of the
David Lawrence.
propnets nave oeen wrong in just,
how such a realignment would oe
brought about—that is, what method'
would be used and what would be
the provocation.
The coming of a realignment is
much clearer today than it has been
for two decades but the formula is
6ven less clear.
To put all the conservatives into
the Republican party, for example,
end all the non-conservatives into
another party does not happen to
meet the political specifications of the
cay.
Tire last campaign demonstrated
conclusively that Democrats of con
servative leanings will not join the
Republican party in any great num
bers. For one thing, the latter party
showed at Cleveland that it did not
understand the importance of coali
tion. Throughout the campaign the
Cleveland platform was a distinct
handicap toward the acquisition ot
Democratic votes except on a few
issues.
Some See G. O. F. Gain.
Conversely, the name Republican
means a great deal to lots of con
servatives, many of whom think that
eventually the Nation will turn away
from the New Deal Party and embrace'
the alternative party even if it con
tinues to be called the Republican
party.
Such conjectures, however, relate
to some hypothetical election in which
the misdeeds and misdemeanors of
the Democratic party are to become
crystal clear to the electorate. Any
such appraisal of the future fails
to take into account that the im
mediate situation precipitated by the
Supreme Court controversy, for ifi
utance, cannot be solved that way.
The Democrats who are slaunchiv
opposing the President’s plan to
“pack” the Supreme Court did not
six weeks ago, before the plan was
revealed, have any sympathy for the
Republican party platform and they
do not have any more sympathy today
for Republicanism just because they
lire opposed to Mr. Roosevelt’s court
proposal.
as a mauer oi laci, me question
isn’t going to be decided by mere
anticipation of some future cam
paign in which the errors of the
New Deal wul supposedly have ac
cumulated enough opposition to
swing an election for the Republican.?.
What will decide the fate of the
American political parties is the im
mediate situation growing out of the
fact that when 30 or 40 Senators
elected as Democrats and supporting
Mr. Roosevelt in the regular election
last November come up for renomina
tion or re-election in the Spring of
1938—about 12 months hence—they
will meet head-on the political ven
geance of the New Deal.
G. O. P. Must Map Policy.
What kind of sacrifices are the con
servatives of the Republican party will
ing to make for the Democrats who
■will have sacrificed themselves on the
altar of devotion to the American
system of government? Will the Re
publicans adopt a militant- attitude of
support for these Democrats, or wUl
they be swayed by local factional
squabbles and the desire of some for
mer Republican office holders to run
for office?
Out West inside the various States
where one party or the other in the
last quarter of a century has become
dominant almost to the extinction of
the opposition party, situations com
parable to what is ahead today have
been solved in the primaries of the
dominant party. In North Dakota,
Democrats who wanted a voice in State
affairs entered the Republican pri
maries. Likewise, Republicans and
Democrats have gone over in large
numbers from time to time to the
Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota. In
many Western States former Repub
licans have gone in and voted in the
Democratic party primaries.
This is not only true of the rank
and file, but it is also true of the so
called local leaders here and there.
Thus in the present-day Democratic
organization in the city of Phila
delphia, for instance, will be found
many a local precinct leader who
used to hold forth In the “good old
days” under the Penrose and Vare
auspices of Republican landslides.
rigm uinges on f uture Action.
If the Democrats who are opposing
the President's plan to “pack” the Su
preme Court were to be sure that Re
publican conservatives would vote in
Democratic primaries and assure their
renomination and then would stick to
these Democratic nominees in the
party election, there would be no doubt
of the outcome of the present fight.
This is because many of the Demo
cratic Senators who are marked “non
committal” are wavering toward the
court plan because they do not dare
risk their political future by breaking
With the New Deal.
If the Democrats in the Senate were
to feel politically justified in voting
their convictions, not only would
the President’s plan be beaten, but
many other measures that are con
sidered to be unsound from an eco
nomic standpoint would also be de
feated.
Republican conservatives, however,
would have to show a willingness to
go further than they have indicated
heretofore. They cannot have their
cake and eat it. They will be com
pelled to recognize that, in a nutshell,
President Roosevelt’s broad purposes
are right, but his methods are wrong.
Will the Republicans accept the
Roosevelt purposes—to make a Nation
better nourished, better clad and bet
ter housed? Will they agree that a
better definition of interstate com
merce is needed even if a constitu
tional amendment is the only way to
get it? Will they furnish a progres
A
News Behind the News
Many Candidates for 1940 Democratic Nomination
Making Appearance.
BY PAUL MALLON.
THE presidential bee seems to be an Insect with a bite but no sting.
It leaves a very pleasant but obvious rash on the bitee. On some
victims lately It also appears to have developed symptoms of the
advanced stages of White House maid's knee.
No political health survey of Washington is needed to disclose that
an epidemic, both of the rash and the knee, is current here.
How far the disease has spread became evident the other day when
one whose name has been among
those mentioned for the Democratic
nomination took off his coat and
frankly discussed his chances with
friends. He disclosed he had gone
to the extent of lining up State
delegations, and could now count
several as sure. He even named
them.
The situation is de
veloping so fast that far
sighted political doctors
piairuy joresee a scramble for the Democratic nomination
among many favorite sons of many States. In that event, they
know the burden probably will fall upon President Roosevelt of
meeting a draft-Roosevelt movement as the obvious compromise,
or else he will have to designate a successor who will be acceptable
to all the clamoring factions.
The matter, of course, is being much discussed backstage in connec
tion with Mr. Roosevelt's repeated recent renunciations of any such am
bitions for himself.
* * * *
Some inside developments also have been noticeable lately which bring
at least two new favorites into the picture. A politician high in the new
order, who should know what he is talking about, is idly mentioning the
name of Senator Moore of New Jersey. Also, since the steel strike was
settled before Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania had a chance to get to it, a
group of well-informed politicos is asking why Senator Guffey himself is
being overlooked as the favorite of the Keystone State.
Philippine High Commissioner McNutt of Indiana likewise left behind
him here a number of friends who are suggesting he will not remain in
the Philippines long enough to spoil his contacts. He will be back on
home ground looking after his chances in a year, they say.
When you add these New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana names
up with those of Iowa's Henry Wallace, Michigan's Gov. Murphy and
other local political characters in other sections whose State banners are
being waved freely, the trend of the coming fight is obvious.
* * * *
The House boom for a disarmament conference caused some inter
national observers to suspect it was an administration trial balloon. The
facts indicate the reverse.
The resolution suggesting that the President call a disarmament
conference sprouted from a hot debate on the floor over the Navy
appropriation bill. It was introduced only as an answer to a
Republican taunt about large naval expenditures. The State De
partment did not let the balloon get off the ground. It declined
immediately to support the measure, sent word to Floor Leader
Rayburn to hai>e it killed.
What was suspicious was the later statement of House Foreign Af
fairs Chairman McReynolds that it might not have been a bad idea, and
the story in a London weekly stating flatly the United States would call a
conference.
The fact seems to be the powers that be here have something indefinite
in mind and do not want their
hands forced.
* * * *
The scramble for preferred
positions in Mr. Roosevelt’s prom
ised series of diplomatic appoint
ments is becoming rather hectic on
the inside. The fever of some who
believe they deserve promotion is
running so high that one or two
vacant jobs may be left open in
dehnitely. If they are not, there
will at least be one resignation from the service.
* * * *
The mutual exchange of insults between Mr. Hitler s press and
Mayor La Guardia of New York is said to be causing considerable
mental angu^h to State Secretary Hull. He leans to the wise old
theory that such things only siir trouble without arriving at a
conclusion. Those around him say he would not nave presented
the protest against the German newspaper articles were it net for
the fact that demands were made upon him cry two ladies. Mr. Hull
is a traditional Tennessean.
The frank way in which officials here privately look at the situation
is simply this: Mr. La Guardia is running for re-election. Mr. Hitler is
always running for re-election.

sive program of their own, if they
are not willing to support Democrats
of liberal conservative views? And
will such a program be of political
value unless aggressively pushed by
Republicans now in the Senate and
the House?
Situation Awaits Solution.
These are practical items in a
political evolution and they have
waited long enough for Republican
leadership to solve. So the next step
is likely to be the mass movement of
Republicans into the Democratic party
primaries everywhere to support lib
eral conservative Democrats and to
help elect them as against New Deal
machines. If such a movement is be
gun now it may absorb the Republican
party into a Constitution Democratic
party as opposed to a Socialist Demo
cratic party, first suggested in Febru
ary, 1934, by this correspondent as
the way to describe the inevitable
division inside the Democratic party
which many people foreseen evier since
the New Deal came into power.
The Republicans may not like this
formula, but if they want the Con
stitution preserved by an independent
judiciary they will have to pay a
political price for this, the most
crucial test of Americanism, they have
ever known. If the Republicans really
believe the Supreme Court issue has
brought a grave crisis, they will find
it necessary to answer soon and in
practical terms the question of
whether they consider the preserva
tion of the Republican party more
important or less important than
the preservation of the Constitution.

Darts of Opposition
Random Observations on the Supreme Court
Battle Front.
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON.
IF THE Supreme Court justices are
guilty of half the things that
F. D. R. and Homer Cummings
have said about them, there is a
simple constitutional solution for the
dilemma. Impeach ’em.
Cummings says the Supreme Court
needs a constant stream of new blood.
If the President
puts in bright
young college stu
dents of about
his own age,
where will the
new blood be In
1960?
The President
says he does
mean to pack
the court. He
means to pack
it with men who
will give his leg
islation “the ben
efit of all reason
able doubt.’’ We
Dorothy Thompson.
all know what a reasonable fellow Is.
He is some one that agrees with us.
"The Nation” shrills that although
the President’s solution is "unfortu
nate from every angle but one” all
liberals must rally in the anti-Tory
front.
Behind such advanced and radical
thinkers as Homer Cummings, Joe
Robinson, Pat Harrison and Jim
Parley.
How about calling the Antitory
front the Hortatory front?
We want a Supreme Court, accord
ing to the President, which isn’t tied
to outworn ideas. But we want the
Democratic party to be ioyal to the
good old gang spirit.
Yes, It’s Been Packed Before.
The President says the Supreme
Court has been packed before. It’s
an old American custom. Well, Adams
packed the court and Jefferson un
packed it, and the net effect of that
was that we got the Madison-Mar
bury case which first gave the Su
preme Court the powers Roosevelt is
now kicking about. Jackson packed
Roger B. Taney into the Supreme
Court as a great liberal. And he's the
fellow who handed down the Dred
Scott decision that we're hearing so
much about these days. Grant packed
the Supreme Court and "The Nation"
raised sand about it. But, of course,
in those days, "The Nation" was
young.
The President says that social forces
are moving swiftly. A social force
is often something a politician seta
in motion in order to be able to in
voke special powers to deal with it.
If those great radicals, Joe Robin
son and Pat Harrison, lick Congress
into line for the President's proposals
they’ll probably insist on having a
say-so about naming the judges. And
look out, then, for Father Christ
mases with their beards shaved off
and their birth records faked.
What has become of that other
plan of the President for reorganiz
ing the executive department and
putting all important offices under
the strictest Civil Service? We’ll hear
about that reform again after they
have used patronage to help buy
the judiciary reform and the disin
terested and non-partisan civil serv
ants to help the radio campaign.
But apparently one part of the
executive reorganization plan is al
ready in operation—the six presi
dential advisers "with a passion for
anonymity.” They got up the judi
ciary proposals.
What of Others at 70?
I wonder how the members of Con
gress who are over 70 years old feel
about this. Maybe they think 70
isn’t too old to write the laws but it's
too old to check them up in the book.
John Nance Garner, the President’s
understudy, will be 70 in two years'
time. Does the President intend, then,
to ask for his resignation? Or will
he get an understudy for the under
study?
Why not put the whole Govern
ment under the National Youth Ad
ministration?
“We face a crisis," said the Presi
dent, "fundamentally more serious
than that of four years ago.” The
trouble is the American people don’t j
believe it. They were convinced the
other way by the Democratic cam
paign speeches.

La Guardia-Hitler Incident Leaves German-Ameri
can Relations Cooler.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
THE Hitler-La Guardia-State Department incident which during the
last week took greater proportions than was anticipated, will leave
an unsavory effect on the already cool German-American relations.
But, as far as the public is concerned, the incident will be forgotten
within the next few weeks.
Not so concerning the few Jews left In Germany. It Is they who pav
whenever there Is a verbal duel between the Reich and other governments i
or organizations which do not ap
prove the anti-Semitic policy of
the Reich.
According to reports from Ber
lin, a new anti-Je.wlsh drive may be
expected to result from the La
Guardia incident. The activities
of the professional Jews—there are
quite a few in the liberal profes
sions in the principal towns of the
Reich—will be further limited
. . "T!^ while many Jews suspected of hav
ing indirectly something to do with Jewish organizations in the United
States will take the hard road to concentration camps.
In the meantime, the strong language—so strong that the in
structions given Ambassador Dodd by the State Department could
not be made public—is being interpreted in many European
capitals as another sign that this country is morally on the side ot
European democracies.
This is 100 per cent true. Not only the administration, but the over
Whf^ng ,ma:>ses in United States dislike intensely the dictatorial
methods of Herr Hitler. In Europe, however, this dislike of the executioners
of democratic institutions is being interpreted in the sense that we shall
be once more a “push-over” in the event of another conflagration.

The new French loaji—the bulk of the proceeds will be devoted for
defense-rearmament has met with an unprecedented success.
The first slice has been oversubscribed and it is selling at a premium.
The reason for this eagerness of the French investors to buy the na
tional defense loan is not only that the government is willing to pav the
interest in foreign currencies. The French people realize that unless
they come across with some real money from the well-known woolen stock
ing, France will be placed in permanent inferiority to Germany and '
Italy.
The "union sacre" for which all governments have been striv
ing since the end of the World War has once more been accom
phshed under the Blum government.
When the French premier came into office 10 months ago political
experts gave him a maximum 3 months.
Yet, because of circumstances, besides bis unquestionable ability
as a leader, he was the first French political leader to accomplish this
sacred union, which political observers considered an utter impossibility
m now-a-day France. Blum, the almost-Communist politician, Blum
the Jew the first Jew to hold the office of premier in the French Republic
has succeeded in accomplishing things which neither Poincare, Tardieu’
Laval, Herriot, nor any other popular French leader has been able to
accomplish.
* * * *
The German government is guilty of another breach of the treatv
of Versailles. They have never fulfilled article 264 of that famous de
ceased treaty.
The article provides that "the skull of the Sultan of Makaua.
having been stolen by the German authorities of East Africa should
mthm six months of the ratification of the aforesaid treaty be
handed over by Germany to his Britannic majesty’s government."
The Sultan of Makaua was once upon a time a powerful chieftain
ruling over certain NegTo tribes. His subjects believed that the skull of
the deceased potentate had miraculous powers and was used bv the
wiu:n doctors throughout the
realm.
The German officials of the
former colonial department sent
a box to London, but to the horror
of the British foreign office offi
cials, when the box was opened,
it contained three skulls. The
director of the Colonial Museum
in Berlin sent a letter with the
box containing t'ne orecious skull*,

6*Day Bike Racer
Before Met. Basso.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.
EZIO PINZA, IotJbario in "Mig
non,” broadcast from t be
Metropolitan Opera House was
a six-day bike racer before he
became the big, rumble-drum basso of
the Met. He says it was a fine prep
aration for opera; he might not have
become an opera star without it.
Elio Pinxa.
It happened this
way. Signor
Pinza's little blue
ibike was known
for years on all
the great velo
i dromes of Italy.
I He was good, but
i not quite good
ii enough to gather
i money or laurels.
1 One fine, sunnv
day, he entered a.
race in which no
one thought he
had much of a
chance. He was
in topnotch form.
Years of pedaling had given him legs
and bellows of iron. It was the pay-off
for a long stretch of hard work. He
pulled out of the ruck, passed some of
the fastest racers in Italy and finished
second. It was the first prize he ever
had won.
The sun was bright, the sky was
blue, the birds were singing and the
crowds were cheering. It was his hap
piest day. In the shower bath, he
fetched a song of delirious joy clear up
from his ankles, It was • O Sole Mio "
The song had tremendous volume and
resonance.
m tne last lsp oi the .song, there was
a veil of ' bravissitno!” in the next
booth. ‘ What a voice! What a voice!”
The other bather had friends and in
fluence. Signor Pinza was encouraged,
expertly coached and presently routed
through to the Metropolitan.
At best, he might have been just a
tenor if the long grind on the bike
hadn't geared him down to a basso.
But. being full of the joy of life, he ns
sorry the basso so often has to be a
villain. “The tenors get the girls and
the bassos get the ax,” savs the

He likes to dress joyfully, with
snappy suits, blue and white striped
shiris and neckties con passionare.
