NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, WAR ELECTIONS ‘The problem of enabling members of the armed forces to vote in a national election is not a wholly novel one. It arose during the Civil War, in the election of 1864, although, of course, the numbers and in favor of President Lincoln than the civilian vote: Only 53 per cent of the civilian public supported the President’s reelection, while 77", per cent of the mili- tary electorate preferred him to the opposition candi- date, General McClellan, himself a noted soldier. As it worked out in 1864, approximately half the soldiers had at least a theoretical opportunity to cast ballots. Of these only about 1 in 3 actually did so The rest were either disfranchised because their home States had failed to arrange for them to vote in the field or because they were engaged in active military operations. As a precedent, the experience can scarcely be said to lend much encouragement to the view that an army of 10 million can be genuinely enfranchised in a global war through State action alone New Deal (Washington Post) Evidently this is an open season for the shedding of labels and other impedimenta of the prewar hust- ings. The Russians started it. Gone is “The Inter- nationale” as the anthem of the Soviet Union, ex- punged by decree of Marshal Stalin. It is safe to say that never again as long as the ukase remains extant will the revolutionary song be heard within Russian territory. President Roosevelt has followed the Muscovite example by contributing to the same ash can the phrase, “New Deal.” He, of course, does not order its expulsicn from the language, even from the stock in trade of his followers. His is only a hint, handed out indirectly as the substance of a conversation with a Cleveland newspaperman, and in our democratic practice the faithful may abide by it as they choose. ! The disowning of the phrase which has been the |stuff of political controve for a decade will be regarded everywhere as significant. The Russian pre- cedent, at any rate, was significant. It was held to be the sign of a new maturity, an avowal that the need no longer existed to gain strength at home from troublemaking abroad, the exchange of a nuclear internationalism for a robust nationalism. Is there anything equally significant about the presidential discard? Naturally the Republicans think so. Still, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA Jackie Gucker Anatole Matkovsky Mrs. Harry F.

When he gets a little overweight, he finds less food on his tray.

As a| matter of fact, he deserves the credit for his health—not I.” | | ROOSEVELT'S ISOLATION | As President Roosevelt begins| what may be the last of twelve long years in office, he faces what| almost every other recent President| has faced—the tendency to become isolated. : Woodrow Wilson was terribly iso- lated during the last of his second term, partly by illness, partly by his preoccupation with working ouL‘ a permanent peace, partly by :he{ jealousy of his wife, who guarded | him from contact with dihugreefibl(" Congressmen. Herbert Hoover also was isolated, partly because he lacked a knack‘. for keeping in touch with people, partly because he relied too much‘ on his own opinions. | Calvin Coolidge perhaps was not quite so isolated. He saw more| people, went to different parts of the country for his summers. But the country was enjoying a Ppo-; litical and economic paradise, so it! didn't matter. i Roocevelt unquestionably ~ has done more .than any immediabei predecessor to keep in contact with; the country—until recently. He has travelled more than any other; President in history. even more than Taft. He has had a large family | of children who have not hes&tuwdl to “raise hell with the Old Man"| when they thought things were going wrong—to say nothing of a wife who has a greater interest in, public affairs than any other pre- vious First Lady of the Land. ; | NARROWER ORBIT Despite all this, however, !he‘ President more and more has tend-| ed to draw within a narrower orbi of friends. This is easily under- standable. In the first place, he has to spend more time on the war| apd foreign affairs. Also, as he| gets older and more rooted in of- | fice, the natural inclination is to’ £hun the disagreeable, lean toward | the agreeabie. This is one reason for Harry Hopkins' great vogue with the President. “He is just as comfortable as an old shoe. ! which Senate kind. gone international.
