The theory is that the President may smile at Wheeler, and use him, on the notioh that there is no use biting off one's nose to spite one's face, but that the cordiality is all on the surface. Wheeler, however, has apparently taken the President's constant consultations with him during the last session of congress at their face value, assuming, of course, that the outside gossip is right about the President's really not having forgiven him. to Roosevelt Strongly Opposed To Nomination of Garner There is also very general agreement that the President would never stand for the nomination of John Nance Garner. The President believes that Garner is utterly out of sympathy with many of the New Deal policies. Most of the left wingers around the White House, the men who have the most ready access to the President, feel sure that they wou!d not have positions very long after Garner's inauguration. So they take pains to keep the home fires burning so far as the President's distrust of his ‘‘second in command'' is concerned. that it had passed a law which would keep the United States out of a certain type of danger which might involve this country in the war. It is perfectly true that the chief reasons actuating President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull in approving the idea was to enable American industry to market its wares abroad.

The real outcry is coming from the cotton men. Cotton has been piling up in New Orleans, for instance, because the ships that normally would be carrying it to England have been barred from that trade by the "‘cash and carry'' provisions of the neutrality act. Now, of course, eventually Britain must have that cotton. She would have to provide ships for it some way or other. But this is not as cleur to the cotton factors, and (Bell Syndicate-WNU Service.)

The case of Harry Bridges, radical west coast labor leader, was shouted from the housetops until Madame Secretary Perkins agreed to a hearing on charges that Bridges was an undesirable alien. A decision is now pending. Glaring at labor, Martin Dies accused the unions of harboring foreign agents. He now claims one of the largest unions is quietly purging its ranks. He was partially responsible for the recent house investigation of the National Labor Relations board, in which unsavory reports were aired, Dies put a stop to the WPA federal theater project, which he said was alive with Communists. He also talked congress into halving the appropriation of Senator LaFollette's civil liberties committee, which is working the other side of the ‘‘ism'' street. Even his most severe critics now admit Martin Dies is coming of age, though they still notice a lot of rough edges that need polishing. Oblivious to criticism, Dies has made his report to congress and started campaigning for more funds. Here's his view of it: He's proved conclusively the existence of ‘‘isms'' in the United States. Therefore the next logical step is to get at the cause of these radical movements. To this end he would ask congress for funds to interview share-croppers, laborers, sailors, dispossessed farmers, bootblacks and all other unhappy Americans who come within ear shot. It would be the biggest show on earth, with Martin Dies as ringmaster.

That is the way the favorite son business is viewed in other states, and it would seem to any one not born and raised in Indiana that the more state pride there is in Indiana, the more true this effect on the local tickets of nominating a Hoosier for President would be. Actually the favorite son thing has not worked out that way in some other states. In fact in some states it has almost seemed at times as though the voters did not care whether a man from their state was President or not. For instance, when Kansas voted for Roosevelt against its own governor. For instance, the two times that Nebraska cast its electoral vote against William Jennings rya Bryan. For instance, when West Virginia went for Coolidge against its native son John W. Davis. But perhaps no one outside the state can understand Indiana or its people. this been It has always way, apparently. No one could ge the late John W. Kern or Benjamin F.

But the Indiana Republicans also speak well of McNutt. Not that they actually want to see him in Incidentally these left wingers have had no hesitancy in private conversations with other officials, and with outsiders as well, in expressing their conviction that the President would never approve Garner's nomination.
