Show THE PROGRESSIVE OPINION The Touch of a Friendly Hand flashed with all the hues of the rainbow. It needed the warm touch of a human hand to bring out its color and beauty. There are human lives about us that seem cold and dull and lusterless. Perhaps because they need a help-ing hand from some of us! A gentleman went into a jewel-er's shop and asked to be shown some precious stones. The shop-keeper brought forth a tray con-taining, among other stones, an opal. As it lay beside the others it appeared dull and altogether of little value. Then the jeweler took it in his hand and held it for some mo-ments, and again showed it to his customer. Now it shone and Leaving a Record Vo action, whether foul or fair.

Americans are talking a lot about the privations they will have to endure if the war continues for years, as seems most likely. "Privation" is too strong a word, yet an accurate one, for it means to be deprived of things, and we are certainly going to be de-prived of many things, the liberal use of automobiles being the most glaring at the moment. Not only that, the style of living of most of the middle and upper middle classes is going to take a tumble, due to taxation. But consider what the average German or Japanese thinks about as he or she faces the next few years of war, especially the Germans, for many of them have enjoyed and all of them have heard about a very full life indeed, so far as food, drink and comforts are concerned. Thinking About What?? What do those normally heavy-eatin- g and warmth-lovin- g Germans think about? We know that in no winter of the war so far has there been sufficient heat to make the civilians of Germany really com-fortable. Austria and the other con-quered territories have suffered more, but the Germans have been plenty cold. To the extent they have sacrificed warm clothing and blankets on the pleas of their leaders they will be colder this coming winter. And, be-ing cold themselves, they will be more concerned about what the bit-ter Russian cold is doing to their boys in the army. (This on the as-sumption that Russia continues to fight.) Entering the realm ol wishful thinking, let us assume that the Rus-sians are able to prevent the Ger-mans from winning any spectacular victories. This seems possible, if not prob-able, as we study the reports ol American airplanes grounded in Tur-key. Incidentally a lot of U. S. planes and skillful crews interned in Turkey might prove quite discourag-ing to any Nazi plan for shortcutting to the Caucasus through that coun-try. With American air power impor-tant over the Black sea area it seems likely that even the capture ol Sevastopol may not prove the open door to the oil fields that it once seemed to the German high com-mand. The prospect is not apt tc make the average g Ger-man, with his belt tightened and his body cold next winter, too enthusias-tic about the success ol Der Fuehrer. Difficulties Removed From Dewey's Path The decision of Thomas E. Dewey to serve out his four years as gov-ernor ol New York, if elected, car-ries more significance than most ob-servers have read into it. As a sim-ple promise to the yoters of New York that, if he should be elected, he will not be a candidate for the Re-publican nomination for President in 1944 is of course the most obvious angle. Such a promise removes consider-able difficulty from Dewey's path tc success at the polls this November. Incidentally it takes quite a load ofl the rest of the Republican ticket, for it is one thing to run behind and with a popular figure of demonstrat-ed political appeal, and another thing when one's opponents accuse the head of the ticket of not being really interested in the job he is presently seeking, but is planning tc use it merely as a stepping stone. Thus the Dewey announcemen! might easily mean the difference be-tween Dewey winning the governor-ship and losing it. It might also just as easily mean the success oi defeat of one or more of his running mates. Shr4wd old political observers read a deeper meaning into the an-nouncement. Obviously, they point out, the promise of Dewey means that he will not be an important fig-ure among the 1944 GOP presidential aspirants, win or lose. If he wins, there is his promise. If he loses, he will come pretty close to being a dead cock in the political pit in 1944 anyhow. But they figure that if Dewey is half as smart as they think he is, he actually is sacrificing nothing by making this promise. Their theory is that no matter how strong Dewey might be by 1944, it would be al-most unthinkable that he should have a real chance at the presi-dency. - In 1944, they reason, the war will either still be going on or it will be just over. It cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be as far in the past when that election comes as was the First World war when War-ren G Harding crushed James M. burdened with all the Cox who was feeling against Woodrow Wilson and a stiff isolationist sentiment. Therefore, if Franklin D. Roose-velt wants to continue as President, in 1944 he will be in the strongest possible strategical position to do so If the war is still going on we wil have all the old prejudice against swapping horses in midstream Any-on-running against him would have about as much chance as George B. McClellan had of defeating Abraham cons.d-erabl- Lincoln in 1864. Probably McClellan was less, because to appeal to a very large senti-ment in the North in favor of ending the War between the States.
