Show AS YOU MIGHT SAY Now that the election count is just about over, we can get back to the more congenial task of concentrating- on the Japs and Germans instead of each other . . . The ballots hull some people pretty bad but maybe they can work off their feelings by increasing the rate of sending bullets against our foes ... If we all really pitch in now on the war effort, it will be proof that the election has been just an American interlude and not something that has divided us permanently. Both parties agreed on the objectives it is a matter now of working out the details in teamwork so great that the Japs and Mazis won't know whether they have been slugged, by a Republican or a New Dealer . . . The only people who couldn't have gotten any satisfaction out of the election, no matter how it went, were Ilirohito and Heitler; both know their goose is cooked regardless of whether Roosevelt or Dewey is in the White House . . . We can feel as we wish about the domestic effect of the election, but the war happily is one 100 per cent nonpartisan proposition that gets a unanimous unani-mous ballot, with "x" marking the spot where Hirohito and Adolph are going to get it in the neck . . . Shall we shake on that? . . . By Ed Ainsworth, in the Los Angeles Times. |
