Truman's secre-ot secre-ot state, James Byrnes, is not ganization of the department and so is not a source of friction. In his secretary of labor, President Truman Tru-man has a man who was exceedingly exceed-ingly popular in the senate another anoth-er judge Lewis SchwellanLacli-.-,- Fear Influence Of Party Bases Of course, when it comes to questions ques-tions like the poll-tax and the fair employment practices set or any other measure in which the race question is involved, the old friction arises with the southern congressmen congress-men and any Republicans they can attract to their cause. Also, while there are those who say that the President is steering a course much farther to the right than PresidenFf Roosevelt did, he nevertheless Is committed to a number of the so-called so-called New Deal "reforms." both because be-cause of his record in the senate and because of his natural leanings. However, since Truman is known to be a strong party man, it will be easier for him to keep the southern Democrats in line. Of course, some of the radical New Dealers- are doing a lot of eye brow raising behind the bushes and a remark (perhaps written with tongue in cheek) which appeared in the Wall Street Journal sent shivers shiv-ers down some spines. That newspaper, news-paper, which hardly depends on Democratic support for its circulation, circula-tion, said recently: "Not since the short-lived administration of Warren Harding has there been the prospect of teamwork as exists today." . If the results of the Berlin meeting meet-ing are such that they reveal a marked Improvement in Big Three relations and a harmonious settlement settle-ment of some of the difficult International Inter-national problems, the President's prestige will be greatly increased. However, by that time domestic discontent dis-content will be crystallizing, the honeymoon will be on the wane and the President will need all the "teamwork"- he can muster. If the Japanese war should, by any chance," end suddenly before another year it would mean that reconversion, threats of inflation and unemployment and a hundred other problems will be upon us and President Presi-dent Truman will be stripped of his protective authority as Commander-in-Chief. Then the slings and arrows ar-rows which even Roosevelt's enemies ene-mies were wont to deflect to congress con-gress and other government agencies agen-cies will be aimed squarely at the man in the White House.
