Srvic rcj ' j- I That recent vote of the senate naval affairs committee on the amendment of Sea. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts is the clearest demonstration possible of the difficulty any member of congress has in maintaining a "neutral" attitude even in act, much less in thought.

It is another twist on the argument about letting the allies have the latest models of planes. The whole administration has been moving rapidly in the direction of giving the allies priority, and I lor several reasons. First and foremost has been that the allies certainly up to the Nazi invasion of Denmark and Norway had not been in such a buying panic as they were earlier. When the war first broke out, London expected a mass air attack, by thousands of German planes, every hour. FAR FROM BEING NEUTRAL Then the British and French were in a rush to get all the planes they could. As time dragged on, so much so that some experts began to speak of the "phony war," the allied buying missions became a little more choosey. They would make contracts only for the best. Reason No. 2 of course is that the administration and this goes for the army and navy is far from It wants to help being neutral.

WASHINGTON. n 'SLA jk well-equipp- 'Harpo' Galento Battleship Invaded Norse Waters -- P. So far there has been no bitterness in the Republican contest for the presidential nomination. In sharp contrast with the Democrats, where under the sweetness and light of the public statements there is gall and wormwood, the G. O. P. battles have not engendered any hates. Up to now there is nothing to compare with the bitterness that the fol lowers of John Nance Garner, Paul V. McNutt and James A. Farley feel about the White House denial of their chance to make a showing. The point is that in all three of these camps there is utter certainty that President Roosevelt will not run for a third term. If he does run, in spite of their convictions, their bitterness will, to a large degree, fade. Not that they will like it, but they will not feel that they have been cheated. But what they believe now is that the President has no thought of running, and is using his own strength with the rank and file of Democratic voters, and with the big city Democratic machines such as the Kelly-Nas-h organization in Chi cago and Tammany in New York to hamstring Garner, Farley and McNutt. If their beliefs turn out to be cor rectif the President chooses not to ll run, and throws his mantle on Hull, for instance or the man he really wants if he does not want it himself, Robert H. Jackson then the Garner, McNutt and Farley will believe they have suffered from the rawest gyp game in the history of presidential nomina- his mm imwi "And what does your husband do?" . ev"Oh, he just sits about tellin d?. to goin1 Hitler's what erybody "Then he's a prophet?" -- i ij ,s, to TTt w htm.-(a- II M : - Mu too.

DEWEY'S CHANCES No one will ever know, for instance, just what Garner would have done if the whole strength of the administration had not been thrown against him. But while there has been no real bitterness, yet, on the Republican side, a pretty good foundation is being laid for it. A great many astute political observers believe that Thomas E. Dewey hasn't a Chinaman's chance for the Republican nomination, despite his record of winning primaries and his strength as shown by various polls.
