According to the latest reports, the newly chosen Congress will conform to this latter pattern. It is not & Congress opposed to the administration. But it is definitely a Congress less willing than the pres- ent body to acquiesce in the President’s leadership without question. The ing to the Republican party was manifest in all states except in the most habitually Democra- tic areas. This does not imply any particular confi- dence in the Republicans who sought office not constitute approval of the blundering behavior of Representative Hamilton Fish, for example Neither does it relect on the qualities of the Demo- cratic aspirants who lost in the landslide But it does reflect a deep and far-reaching pro- test against the administration for inept censorship, excessive and sometimes whimsical rationing policies, unwise appointments, and errors of military strategy If he is willing to learn, President Roosevelt can find much in the election returns to guide him' in framing wiser policies. Precisely the same thing happened in Lincoln's S on, and in Woodrow Wilson's when the people reacted unfavorably to the deprivation of war- time and the reverses suffered by our armed forces, Fortunately, the tide has not run so strongly as in 1918, so there is no reason to fear that the new Congress will set itself ruthlessly in opposition® to the administration The democratic process is working. It has regis- tered the deepest attitudes of the mass of people. Granted willing cooperation and intelligence on ‘the Matter.

It was the strong pro- American and anti-British senti- ment of the French colonies, as éxpressed by Boisson, which re sulted in the decision to land an American rather than a British force in North Africa Though loyal to Petain, he re- gards the aged premier as a pris- oner of the Germans, who must be driven out of France.
