Message
Holds Hope
For Allies
Can Even Draw
On Speech for
Peace Basis
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Some day the historians will say
of President Roosevelt that he cer
tainly used variety in picking the
theme and treatment of his annual
message to .-.
Congress on the pm
•‘State of the i|jg
Union.” mr
The address W
this week dif- 1,
fered from all fijM
others. There IPS
was no polemics §■
In it. no note of I i
party warfare
or class bitter
ness —just an ™
e x p r ession of
what Mr. Roose
v e 11 thinks
intern ational David Lawrencf
policy of the United States in a
time of world war.
The communication was hardly
neutral in spirit because it was a
plain statement of the belief of
many Americans that the Nazi
governm^it has been the aggressor
in the war. Likewise, it was a
denunciation of the totalitarian
type of government, with the com
ment that America could not be
unaffected by the existence in the
world at the same time of such
despotism.
Mr. Roosevelt took pains to in- i
dicate that he does not believe the I
United States should send troops j
overseas or become entangled in
foreign alliances but his words were
so carefully chosen that foreign
observers will not fail to infer that J
he thinks America some day might |
do everything except participate in
a military way to aid the cause of
democracy.
A Passage for Attention.
Perhaps the President did not
Intend his remarks to be so con
strued, but there is one passage,
which will attract wide attention in
this respect. It reads:
“I can understand the feelings of
those who warn the Nation that
they will never again consent to the
Bending of American youth to fight
on the soil of Europe. But, as I
remember, nobody has asked them
to consent—for nobody expects such
an undertaking.
“The overwhelming majority of
our fellow citizens do not abandon
In the slightest their hope and ex
pectation that the United States
will not become involved in military
participation.”
But will America become involved
in any other kind of participation? i
In a sense every nation which con
tinues to trade with the belligerents |
is involved in the war. But in re
cent months British and French ob
servers have said again and again
that they did not expect, no matter
how badly their fortunes turned in
the war, to see America come to their
rescue with troops. There has, on
the other hand, been a recognition
BDrOaa Ol tuc pUJ>J5iUi.Ui/,y i/iiab mo
United States might come to the
financial aid of the allies or extend
credits.
This is a problem of the future,
however, which nobody can foresee
at the moment, especially since the
allies are by no means on the losing
side of the game so far as the war J
to date is concerned and their po- |
tential resources are admittedly >
greater than those of the Germans.
Hints Moral Support.
What Mr. Roosevelt's message
does, however, is to express in an
implicit rather than in an explicit |
sense the belief that the President |
has concerning the overwhelming
moral support which the American
people in his judgment have for
the allied cause.
The fact that so much of the mes
sage was devoted to a denunciation
of the philosophy of force which
brought on the war, and that em
phasis was placed on the need for
world-wide recognition of freedom
of speech and of the press and of
religious worship served to confirm
the evident purpose of the Presi
dent to make the German people
realize, if they ever see the message,
that America’s sympathies are with
democracy as against autocracy.
Again and again there are refer
ences in Mr. Roosevelt's message to
the negotiations for peace which in
evitably must come some day. The
statement that the United States
may become a healing force and help
"lighten the troubles of the world,”
or that America may take her role
as “a potent and active factor in
seeking the re-establishment of
peace” will be regarded as an ex
pression of what Mr. Roosevelt may
yet hope to accomplish before the
ending of his career in public serv
ice
“Certain Freedoms Essential.”
Would the allies as a condition of
peace take their cue from Mr.
Roosevelt's message? He stated a
possible war aim thus:
“Of course, the peoples of other
nations have the right to choose
their own form of government. But
we in this Nation still believe that
such choice should be predicated on
certain freedoms which we think
are essential everywhere. We know
that we ourselves will never be
wholly safe at home unless other
governments recognize such free
doms.”
If Britain and France should re
quire as a prerequisite to peace that
the peoples of Central Europe be
emancipated from dictatorship, they
will be able to point to Mr. Roose
velt's message of January 3, 1940 as
a historic precedent for their con
tentions concerning a true basis for
peace. For Mr. Roosevelt has said
in another way what President Wil
son said in 1917, namely, that the
world must be made safe for democ
racy by the concerted action of de
mocracies everywhere.

Jackson Called White House Choice
As Hull's 1940 Running Mate
By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER.
The stock of Robert Houghwout Jackson is currently rising like a
rocket on the political bourse. The able and personable Solicitor Gen
eral, who has done an excellent job as the Government's chief court
room lawyer, was promoted today to the Attorney Generalship. And while
he waits to take over his new job, he has Just been repeatedly gazetted a;
the White House candidate for the Vice Presidency, on a ticket headed
by Secretary' of State Cordell Hull.
The ultimate source of these reports is widely said to be the Presl
dpnf. hlmcplf whioV* molrnc tVin
whole business embarrassingly
reminiscent of the time when the
President decided to run Jackson
for the Governorship of New York.
On that occasion, the Jackson can
didacy, which was rather amateur
ishly managed, ran head on into
the loyalty of the New York State
leaders for Postmaster General
James A. Farley. The leaders

L
man, and, with the excuse of Jackson's “60 families" speeches of that
fall, they turned him down flat.
Until Jackson was mentioned as a possible running-mate, It was
always Farley's name which was coupled with Hull's in the political
talk. After the New York Governorship business, there was a period of
somewhat strained feelings between Farley and Jackson. Recently, they
became friendly again, and have seen one another in a pleasant way
on several occasions But although Jim Farley is anything but a sour
or grudge-bearing man, he can hardly be expected to enjoy the new
rumors. They seem likely to sow new dissension in Democratic ranks.
Sad New Dealers
Aside from the fact that Jim Farley certainly deserves high rec
ognition from his party, a Hull-Jackson ticket is very logical. Hull is
agreeable to the President, warmly admired by conservative and ortho
dox Democrats, and not too upsetting to the New Dealers. He is
thoroughly familiar with American foreign policy. As foreign policy is
likely to be the major Presidential preoccupation for a tragically long
time to come, Hull's training in this field is a most important special
qualification which he shares only with the President himself.
In domestic matters, however, Mr. Hull is known to be conservative
in tendency. If the President should accept Hull without condition, the
President's New Deal followers could accuse him of letting them labor in
the vineyard without reward. Thev mav not carry the vote of a single
delegate to the convention, as their enemies so frequently point out. Yet the
President undoubtedly feels an obligation to them, and to the great domes
tic movement which he started and has now laid aside only because of
his preoccupaion with foreign affairs.
The choice of Bob Jackson as Hull's running-mate fully meets this
situation. Jackson has always been the New Dealers’ favorite bet for a
platform man from their own ranks.'and they could hardly complain of
a ticket composed of one man whom they tepidly approve and another
whom they enthusiastically indorse.
Signs of Distress
The curious thing is, however, that reports of a Hull-Jackson ticket
have been received in New Deal circles with signs of distress. The trouble
is that the New Deal group is whole-heartedly set on seeing the President
make a third-term effort, and every indication that he is not willing to is
t decidely unpleasant to them. The
Hull-Jackson ticket was certainly
not their idea, which makes it all the
I more likely it was the President's.
If Hull and Jackson really are the
[ President’s choices, it is too bad that
the news has leaked out so soon
Between now and the convention,
there is a great deal of time. Every
Republican politician and a good
many Democrats will use the op
’ nnrtlinitv fn tn kp nnt-shnts of thp
intended nominees. But. before the Democratic conservatives go after
Jackson too freely, there is one thing they should remember. That is the
President's remark, in discussing his own future, that, if there were one
thing that might persuade him to run again, it was his enemies’ habit of
cutting down his proteges the instant his hands had been laid on their
shoulders.
Meanwhile, Jackson has a tremendous job to tackle, for Prank
Murphy, hard as he has worked, is leaving plenty of thorny problems
behind in the Justice Department. In the New York governorship business,
Jackson was tapped without being much consulted. It may be assumed
that the same thing has happened again. Undoubtedly, he would gladly
accept the reported arrangement, but, until the time comes, he will tend
to his official knitting.

Theater Sues 12 Film Firms
On Anti-Trust Charge
By the Associated Pres*.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.—Charg
ing violation of the Federal anti
trust laws, a Philadelphia theater
has sued 12 major motion picture
companies and the local manager of
Loew's, Inc., for $75,000 damages.
Owners of the Admiral Theater
also asked Federal District Court
for an injunction against alleged
“monopolistic” practices by the 13
defendants.
Contending that it was entitled
to triple damages under the Sher

asserted that the defendants cut off
its supply of feature films because
it reduced admission prices from 25
to 15 cents to meet competition
from nearby chain theaters.
Triple damages can be awarded

m
Roosevelt View That Domestic and World Issues
Are Interwoven Draws Fire in Congress
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.
President Roosevelt’s annual mes
sage to Congress on "The State of
the Union” turned out to be—as he
very frankly said himself—a dis
cussion on the
state oi tne ■
world. The Pres- I
1 d e n t believes I
that underf
present condl- f
tions, It is inrf* jg
possible not to "
consider world
affairs when we 1
consider our do
mestic affairs;
that the two are
so closely woven
together as to be
inextricable. 4
This is a thesis
on which some G. Gould Lincoln,
of the members of Congress are un
willing to go along with the Presi
dent. They follow him, almost to a
man, in the belief that America
should be prepared to defend itself
in the event of attack. But that the
freedom of the American people is
necessarily bound in with the free
dom of other peoples is something
they are not willing to concede.
The message was generally re
ceived with friendly acclaim, how
ever. Particularly was the Presi
dent’s assertion that no one had any
expectation that this country would
become involved in the war with
Europe given generous applause.
Also well received was the announce
ment that the budget which he is
sending to Congress today would
show reductions in practically all
governmental expenditures except
those for national defense.
Trade Treaty Defense.
The President’s defense of the
Hull reciprocal trade agreements!
was whole-hearted. He insisted that ,
the European wars had not made :
such agreements any less necessary, I
and that when it came to making !
peace abroad, the principle of the
trade agreements, if adopted gener
ally, would go a long way toward
making a more permanent peace.
In some quarters the President’s
championing of the cause so dear
to the heart of the Secretary of
State was even interpreted as evi
dence that the Chief Executive was
giving his approval to the possible
nomination of Mr. Hull for Presi
dent when the Democratic National
Convention convenes next summer.
This is carrying interpretation to an !
extreme degree. Mr. Hull has made 1
it abundantly clear that he is not
seeking a presidential nomination,
although he is highly regarded
throughout the country for his able
and unselfish public service. But
: certainly the President's attitude
: seems to imply that he could have
I iiu pussiuie uujecuun iu me iiuuuiia
tion of his Secretary’ of State.
Genial Attitude Cited.
The President's genial attitude at,
this opening of the last regular ses-1
sion of the present Congress—the !
pleasant manner in which he has i
greeted Vice President Garner, both |
at the White House and again at the j
joint session of Congress, despite the !
fact Mr. Garner is in the race for
the presidential nomination whether
the President should be a candidate
himself or not, adds to the belief j
now generally held that he himself !
does not desire to be a candidate.
Further, it lends itself to a belief
that the President has definitely
decided not to be a candidate for a
third term.
The reception accorded Vice Pres- ;
ident Garner when he entered the
House chamber for the joint session
yesterday was indicative of the
strong following whicl^ the Texan
undoubtedly has in his race for the
nomination. It may well be, how
ever, that not all of the acclaim was
for the presidential candidacy of
Mr. Garner, but that it was accorded
a man who was determined to go
through with his opposition to a
third-term candidacy for any man.
Plea for National Unity.
The President’s plea for “national
unity” in this country, in view of
the world situation, was translated
by some of his Republican listeners
into a plea for laying aside political
partisanship. This did not appeal
to them. They were quick to differ
entiate between loyalty to the Gov
ernment of the United States and
loyalty to the Roosevelt administra
tion. It was recalled that Abraham
Lincoln had once said, “There is an
important sense in which the Gov
ernment is distinct from the admin
istration. One is perpetual; the
other temporary and changeable. A
man may be loyal to his Government
and yet oppose the peculiar princi
ples and methods of the adminis
tration.”
The Prediction has recently been
made by returning members of Con
gress that the present session will
be acrimonious, with many a battle.
The President’s recommendation to
Congress yesterday was that it con
sider “the needs of the Nation and
of humanity with calmness, toler
ance and co-operative wisdom.” He
prefaced this recommendation—and
hope—by saying that “overstatement,
bitterness and vituperation, and
the beating of drums have contrib
uted mightily to ill feeling and wars
between nations,” and that such
actions ^are also hurtful in the do
mestic scene. If this is to be the
attitude of'the administration during
the session of Congress, there may
be far more peace than has been
expected.
No Controversial Program.
The President' made no recom
mendations for additional social re
form legislation. This is in line with
reports emanating from members of
Congress that the President was
contemplating no long or contro
versial program for submission to the
national Legislature at the present
session. He did say, however, in
the opening of his address that his
prominent reference to foreign af
fairs should not be construed as
meaning that there was to be any
abandonment or overlooking of do
mestic policies.
While the President's address was
far less provocative than some of his
others to Congress in the past, he
took a fling here and there at some
of his critics—particularly the oppo
nents of his foreign policy, the so
called isolationists whom he dubbed
in effect ostriches with heads sunk
in the sand. He did not overlook
Senator Borah of Idaho—although
he did not use his name—making
reference to assertions attributed to
the Idaho Senator that he had
sources of information more reliable
than the administration. Nor did
he pass by the structures made by
Republican candidates for the presi
dential nomination—in particular
Thomas E. Dewey, New York dis
trict attorney, who recently charged
that the New Deal had taught the
youth of the country to adopt a de
featist attitude.

This Changing World
Defeat of Russian Armies Would Result
In Stalin's Downfall, Observers Believe
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.
It Is difficult even for those who have all possible information at
their disposal to read intelligently between the lines of European di
plomacy. What it is doing and what it is aiming at?
One of the most puzzling questions is: Why this unbelievable ten
derness towards Tavarish Stalin & Co.? Is it possible that the allied gov
ernments feel like some of those jilted lovers who still have a tender
heart toward the one and only one even after her elopement with some
body else? Or do the European diplomats intend to out-machiavel
Machiavelli and have such a devas- o
uavuig uiat au to uc i/tvi ivt
the time being to act toward Russia
in the way they are acting now?
These are questions which puzzle
most high ranking officials in
Washington who try to see clearly (
the shape of things to come.
* * * *
To the Simple Simons of di
plomacy the situation appears at
present itself as follows: The U. S. —'t'
S. R. Armies have proved Infinitely weaker than the most severe critics
of the Soviet regime dared expect. They have suffered a devastating de
feat at the hand of a much weaker opponent. The Finns, inferior in
numbers, resources and equipment—especially aviation—have inflicted a
severe defeat in a few weeks on the Russians. At first, when the news
of the Russian set-backs were known, it was believed that the Moscow
I general staff, underestimating the value of its opponents, had sent only
untrained raw recruits to the border. Later the announcement came
that Russia’s best troops had been sent to the border. They suffered an
even more crushing defeat
It became obvious that the colossus had clay feet. That the troops—
even the best—were trained mostly for parades in the Red Square in
! Moscow. That their equipment was like in the old days of the former
| regime: Cardboard shoes corrugated iron tanks, plenty of guns with
; out the necessary ammunition, etc.. That the transportation system was
; even worse than during the last war and that Russia as a military power
was a really negligible quantity.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the revolutionary sacred fire
does not replace sound military training. It might have been all right
in the days of Napoleon. But even then, had it not been for the warlike
qualities of the French Napoleon would have not conquered the Aus
trians with his hungry bare-footed soldiery.
Want More Military Training
The Russians are very strict against allowing any outsider to peer
behind the scenes and see what the Russian Army is doing. But the de
pression which has followed the defeat at the hand of a small bunch of j
Finns apparently has put some new life into a number of Soviet officials
and they have dared speak to foreign observers. They say the poor shoot- ,
ing displayed by the Russian infantry and artillerymen is due to the fact 1
that in peace-time they are not allowed to use live ammunition. Field
Marshall Tukhachevsky had insisted that the army be given more mili
tary than communistic training. He wanted to replace the barracks
courses on world revolution, etc., with some real sharp-shooting practice.
Some of his ideas about the training of the army were held against him
and he was executed. So was the fate of the other professional soldiers
of the Red Republic. The few German officers who had been attached to
various Russian units since the morganatic wedding between Hitler and
Stalin left in disgust. They could not stand the "abominable cooking done
with such excellent raw material.”
Dissatisfaction Reported
The censorship in Russia is rigid. No information except from offi
cial circles is available. But despite this news percolates through now that
there is a deep dissatisfaction among the people of that country and a
revolutionary wind is blowing through the country. In Russia such winds
can become hurricanes in no time.
Because of this situation, people here cannot understand whv the
allies do not give a helping hand to the Finns to bring about a defeat of
the Russian Armies which, in the opinion of close observers, would lead to
It is undoubtedly true that rev
olutions are contagious diseases. But
in the case of Russia it appears to
many that a revolution in the
U. S. S. R. would be a prophylactic
operation which might destroy the
germ which has been infecting Eu
rope since 1917.
Observers who have recently re
' ~ believe firmly that the Finns, sup
ported effectively by the allies with arms and ammunition and men, even
if the men were called for the sake of diplomatic repercussion could go
as far as Moscow in the present state of demoralization of the Russian
Army, These observers doubt very much whether the Germans would '
lift their little finger to come to Russia’s rescue.- Even today the ma
jority of the German leaders are more sympathetic toward the Finns than
the Russians and Field Marshal Mannerheim is conducting his operations
very much in accordance with plans and ideas of the German general
staff. There has been a close friendship between the staffs of the two
armies previous to Germany allying herself with Russia. At one time,
when Hitler was the bitterest opponent of Stalin the Germans had an idea
of defeating the Russians in a campaign in which Finland would have
played an important role.

And What
They Do
Dr. Ogburn, Student
Of Life Span, Makes
Long Range Forecast
By LEMUEL F. PARTON.
As far back as 1935, Dr. William
Ogburn of the University of Chi
cago was writing and speaking
about the disproportion of older
people in our population and the
increasing burden of those of work
ing years. About the only hope for
the future seemed to be that the
ear-trumpet and dental-plate in
dustries would be booming suffi
ciently to make everybody pros
perous.
Dr. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hop
kins has sounded a new note of
alarm in citing certain aberrations
of the aged ham-and-eggers, and
in suggesting that perhaps, like
juveniles, they are “too foolish to
vote.” Dr. Ogburn, still studying
the life-span, as professor of so
ciology at the above university, is
again out in front with new ac
tuarial gleanings. He estimates
that, by 1970, there will be in the
U. S. A. 16,000.000 persons over 65,
as against 3,000,000 at the turn of
the century.
This department has always re
garded Dr. Ogburn as one of the
most stimulating and fertile-minded
of sociologists. It isn't a field in
which one may expect the precision
of the physical sciences, and Dr. Og
bum, apparently recognizing this,
is for more and bolder guessing.
Each year he checks the prophecies
of the football writers, adds up the
scores at the end of the season and
invariably finds that the writers
have been too conservative. He
notes that we were bearish on fly
ing and virtually every other tech
nical advance. He would make a
longer fiy-cast into the pool of re
mote probability, even if we're pessi
mistic about what we may get.
He never works or talks like an
actuary, and in his researches of
later years has found the depression
a valuable laboratory of probable
or possible human behavior. He is
a native of Georgia, 53 years old,
educated at Mercer and Columbia
Universities, the author of a number
of authoritative books in the field
of social change. He was a member
of President Hoover's famous Com
mittee on Social Trends.
