OUTCHARMING FDR Though Lew Douglas split with FDR over Government-spending, Le remained cne of the few indiv- 'iduals who could outcharm Roose- velt. Despite the fact that he voted for Landon in 1936 and organized the independent Democrats for Wendeli Willkie in 1940, Douglas rushed back to FDR's bosom when | war began. And FDR, whose mem- ory was long and sometimes vin- dictive, surprised everyone by wel- coming Lew with open arms. Lew's contagious smile, his ingratiating manner, his ability to get along with people, were sometimes rated as even mire beguiling than Roose- velt’s. Fricnds said that Douglas fascineted the late President be- cause he was the only man who had a better technique as a charm- er. Some of those who have wonder- ed whether Douglas was Canadian or American are now speculating as to what kind of ambassador he will be. Will he be another Walter Hines Page and be more British ithan the British? Will he stand up for the USA? This is an important | and legitimate question S| The answer, in the opinion of | this columni is in the positive. Lew would never sell his own coun- try short. He has just about the right combination of charm and tact, mixed with metal, to make an excellent ambassador. | In tae summer of 1943, Roosevelt to pour ol! on troubled US-British! to pour oil on trobled US-British waters.
