WASHINGTON, April 15 Lb Jackson, the bad luck boy of New Deal politics, is being groomed for a place on the Democratic national ticket, just in “case. Io case, of course, Mr. Roosevelt does not run. Tat the AUiomey, General cannot be nominated for the Presidency, and there seems little prospect at the moment, he may be needed for second place. So he is being pushed more into the limelight, as witnéss his Boston and New York broadcasts. Tom Dewey's increasing prominence in the; Republican race is the first piece of political luck to come Mr. Jackson's way in. a long time. Logically he is the perfect foil for .the New York prosecutor, though logic is not enough in politics. ; ~The unquestioned pulling pbwer which Mr. Dewey demonstrated with the voters of Wisconsin and Nebraska in the recent primaries surprised politicians of both | parties. That pulling power cannot be attributed chiefly to organization. His organization for the most part, is amateur, and in Wisconsin and Nebraska it went up against stronger

state politicians. | » » #

A Ringer for Dewey Now that the Dewey popularity cannot longer be discounted, it is rather generally explained among politicians as a combination of youth; ‘glamour and pugnacity. His youth, earlier set down as a liability, now seems to be an asset with many voters. It happens that of all the available New Dealers— with the possible exception of Supreme Court Justice Pouglas—Bob Jackson is the closest ringer for the young, colorful, fighting Dewey. <And he also comes from doubtful New York State, which is very important. As 8 vivid and aggressive fighter, Bob is a match for Tom. He never pulls a punch, and he is afraid of nothing. t As a political debater and campaigner he is superior to Mr. Dewey.

tional affairs | "he can prepare his own effective speeches, while the inexperienced Dewey must depend largely on synthetic ghosters. He has something else the other lacks—the human touch, Mr. Jackson's associates like him, while some of those who have worked with Mr. Dewey find him a bit too hard and selfish. Perhaps most pugnacious individuals get nasty when they are in a hard fight— the Dewey-Ickes type. But when Bob hits he smiles. Given a choice, the. voter often finds the crusader with a sense ‘of humor even more appealing than a. grim prosecutor. If Mr. Jackson has everything to make him a popular candidate that Mr. Dewey has, and much more, why has the Republican gone so fast in this campaign while the Democrat lagged so far behind?

#® t J

Fariey an, Obstacle

The answer is obvious. ‘There are two other New York Democratic candidates, one running and the other being run, who are the most powerful figures in the party: Mr. ‘Roosevelt and Mr. Farley. Moreover Mr. Jackson is a liberal, much more feared by bankers and conservative politicians than a Dewey. President Roosevelt, who at least twice has tried to start a Presidential boom for Mr. Jackson, unwittingly stands in the way. By giving silent consent to the third-term draft movement, Mr. Roosevelt prevented and blanketed the campaign build-up which might have been given his ‘favorite during the last nine months. Mr. Roosevelt's purpose, apparently, was not to get the nomination for ‘himself: but to prevent -anti-New Dealers from controlling the ‘convention. Apparently he figured that was the best way to name Mr. Jackson as his successor. That was a big gamble, for in such a situation it would be very hard to switch delegates from himself to a blanketed favorite. If Mr. Roosevelt does not run again, probably the best he can do will be to join in picking a compromise candidate and then slip his friend into second place on the ticket. Even there Jim Farley stands in

the way.

In any case this third effort to groom Mr. Jackson is a wise Roosevelt precaution, but particularly because of the Dewey development.

Washington

‘WASHINGTON, April 15—I sat down at dinner ' not so long ago beside a young lady who promptly turned a bright smile at me and asked, “Are you an “isolationist?” The proper answer is, “Darned if I

know.”

. parlor arguments which rage be- . tween ‘“isolationists” and “interventionists?”” The terms don’t mean anything. It is pointless ‘and academic to attempt to decide upon wise policies for the United States by trying to. fit them to labels like “isolationism” or “interventionism.” That is trying to think backward. How can you say a poliey is wise or unwise by labelling it as “isolationist” or “interventionist?” Only one consideration counts—national self-interest. First of all, national self-interest, as I see it, rests primarily upon military and economic defense of the Western Hemisphere. If that is not properly attended to, nothing else will help us much in the long run. If it is properly attended to, then our activities beyond that become Secondary, desirable in some cases,.but not vital.

Trade Prasloms Acute

With Japan pressing southward toward the Straits Settlements’ and the Dutch East Indies, our sources of rubber and tin there are none too secure. Encouragement is being given here to development of rubber in Central America. Some form of subsidy from the United States will be heeded if this development is to get anywhere. | Any number of trade problems are reaching the acute stage in South America, where export trade, interrupted by the war, is producing economic trouble that may become political in time. What has any of this to do with isolationism or interventionism? If we keep our eyes fixed upon the requirements of our national self-interest, bearing in mind that this rests primarily upon the military and economic integrity of the Western Hemisphere, there is less danger of our becoming lost in a fog of parlor dialectics which attempts tor translate the practical realities of our situation into metaphysical patterns.

‘By Dr. George Gallip

PRINCETON, N. J., April 15.—The widespread belief that President Roose'velt is the only man who ‘can lead the Democratic Party to victory next November is| given a jolt today by the results of nation-wide fact-finding surveys just completed by the American Institute of

' Public Opinion. : In the first of two “trial heats” the Institute pitted President | Roosevelt as a third-term candidate against Republican Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, In the second “trial heat” the President’s veteran Secretary of State, Cor= dell Hull, was run against Senator Vandenberg. Political Washington and the ‘nation at large will be surprised to learn that at the present time— Mr. Hull runs substantially better than Mr, Roosevelt against the Michigan Senator, who, despite his recent reverses in the Wisconsin and Nebraska primaries, is still regarded as one of the three leading candidates for the G.O.P. nomination. : The following questions were put to a carefully selected crosssection, of the voters in each Of the 48 states: 1f President Roosevelt runs 1 a third term on the Democrati ticket “against Senator Vanden-; berg on the Republican ticket, which one ‘would you prefer??-

City Councilmen indicated today they would withhold action tonight on an ordinance authorizing the Park Board to sell two lots on Burdsall Parkway, pending study of protests against the sale. The protests have been made by members of the Riverside Civic League, who claim the lots will be used for a drive-in restaurant. A delegation from the League planned to attend tonight’s Council session to remonstrate against the sale. However, a subcommittee of the League, investigating the proposed restaurant, reached a tentative conclusion Thursday that the restaurant would. not create: a nuisdnce.

The Board cannot sell until Council approves a sale and an gppraisal is made. Council President Joseph G. Wood said he had received a request to withhold action from Councilman F. B. Ransom until the matter can be studied. The Council also is expected to consider authorization of a $608,000 refunding issue for Flood Prevention bonds issued in 1915.

SECOND SECTION

Vander berg

Roosevelt next November is something for political experts to ponder, of course, but the evidence available at the present time indicates that the third-term tradition is still. a major handicap to Mr. Roosevelt. Although his personal popularity is high from coast to coast, a small but important group of Democrats still say they will not: vote for

him for a third term.

In addition to showing the relative strength of Hull and Roosevelt, the trial heats serve as further indications that the Democratic Party has a slight adyantage over the Republicans at present in party strength throughout the nation. While’ much depends upon which candidates are selected at the Repub--lican and Democratic conventions this summer, state-wide political surveys by the American Institute of Public Opinion have shown the following picture of

party strength in 19 states reported to date.
