' SV, ' 't MU w 74 7. - ""? e . There seems to WASHINGTON. that the political mill for 1940 has begun to grind earlier than has happened in almost any modem time. Politicians alike, and political forecasters, agree that the activity, the advance agents of the 1940 campaign with its national conventions and presidential nominations and national elections, is evident now to a greater extent than has been recorded in almost any other quadrennial period. It is to be recognized, of course, that there would be more intensive effort in advance of the 1940 elections than occurred prior to the 1936 national elections because, presumably at least, both great political parties will be sorting over the C. the party or by the rank and by Republican wheelhorses as having any greater rights than others. And by the same token, the Roosevelt leadership complicates the Democratic picture. Since he has stated with great frequency and with an emphasis that cannot be denied that there is no turning back, he can be regarded as determined to insist upon selection of a Democratic candidate either himself or someone else next year who will push the New Deal forward. And that position, boys and girls, is what the old line faction of the party seem determined now to overturn. As a matter of cold fact, it appears from all of the information available to me that Mr. Roosevelt's determination on this point is really the fundamental basis for the current canyon between the New Dealers and the old liners. Again, none can foretell how far it will go; but it can be said without equivocation that if that schism continues up to the 1940 nominating conventions, the 1924 convention fight between William Gibbs McAdoo and A1 Smith will appear as a tea party. This bitterness can be just as deep seated as that Small G. O. P, Machines Demand Recognition It should not be overlooked, howin ever, that there is prospect on the Republican side as well. It extends down to the grass roots because of individual thinking that has been taking place. This condition results through lack of a federal political machine. Dozens of small machines have been wagging their own tails for so long that they now are demanding recognition from the brass hats at the top. Further, since there is a growing belief that the Republican presidential nomination in 1940 is worth something" that is, that the Republicans have a chance after eight years of political drouth there is an extraordinary crop of favorite sons coming forward. Concerning the prospective campaign, itself, there again is that uncertainty about Mr. Roosevelts personal popularity, about the prestige he has or will be able to lend to the mantle bearer of the Democratic party. There is likewise the question as to how much of the New Deal ought to be discarded and how much ought to be kept, and it is not an easy decision to make. There is, for instance, no question in my mind but that voters everywhere are getting disgusted with too much government I do not mean to infer that they are unanimous. But tlie evidence cumulates that the federal government is engaging in too many functions; that it is invading private rights too far; that its general scope is beyond what government was designed to be, and that more and more people are saying there ought to be some laws repealed" rather than that there ought to be a law." hair-pullin- g ALFRED M. LANDON Will not have as much voice in selection of the Republican candidate as hlr. Roosevelt will have in making the Democratic choice. So, we approach the things that are to be considered and dealt with as campaign questions next year as seen from this distance. Is New Deal On the Wane? I believe it can safely be said as a fact recognized by most able po- litical students that the 1938 elections, with the attendant increase in Republican strength in the house and senate, together with the evident trend of thinking throughout the country, that there is a widespread movement away from the New Deal philosophy of government. How far it has gone, or how far it may yet go; how much the personal popularity of President Roosevelt has waned, or how much it may yet fluctuate, and how vigorously Mr. Roosevelt is opposed within his own party are factors yet to be evaluated. But that evaluation has begun; hence, the activity within the Democratic ranks.

In 1937, Mr. Du Mont rounded up some capital and built a sizable laboratory at Montclair, N, J., employing 42 men. By 1938, Paramount pictures had declared itself in in a big way, and, at last accounts, Mr. Du Monts enterprise was virtually a subsidiary of this corporation.
