IliroL Washington, Nov. 14—The fact that many "old line" Democrats, including such staunch party men as Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, elected to go along with the Administration in advocating the repeal of the arms embargo, has been taken in some quarters as proof that the split in the party ranks has been closed up and that all is harmony once more between the New Dealers and the traditional Jeffersonians. Nothing could be farther from the truth, as the political events of the next few weeks are certain to demonstrate. The recalcitrants who jumped the party lines last year are still as bitterly opposed to the President and the acts of his administration as they were before. They simply regarded the Neutrality matter as something outside of party lines, went along with the President not because repeal of the embargo was his idea, but because they believed in it as the best way of keeping America out of the European war. Their attitude was much like that of Gov. Alf Landon when he went to the Lima Pan-American Con gress: "Politics ends at the water line." Opposition Still Strong When it comes down to the struggle for delegates to the party nominating conventidn and the effort to pick a candidate for 1940, the same Senators and Rep resentatives and party organiza tion men who have opposed Mr. Roosevelt on domestic questions will be found opposing him again. It is generally admitted, how ever, by astute political observers here, that it is likely to be more difficult to prevent him from get ting himself nominated for a third term than it would have been had the European war not broken out. Beyond any question, the very fact that the President, as chief executive, is responsible for the management of our international relations, has strengthened Mr. Roosevelt's position immensely. Even if there is no untoward in cident to stir up public indigna tion and make people believe that we are bound to get into the war, reports from the nation at large indicate a growing feeling that We Have Seven • Nice Small FARMS FOR SALE In Yadkin County SEE US IF INTERESTED PARKS Real Estate Co.

Donald Jensen, 18- months-old (left), giving a taste to Wee Willie Osceola at one of the Seminole Indian camps recently. The Seminoles were never officially forced to surrender in their battles with the white men in the Florida Everglades half a century and more ago. the Administration intends to in sist upon the recognition of American rights by all the bellig erent nations. That puts the President, per sonally, in the position of the outer guardian of American lib erties, insures hi m first-page publicity and distinctly improves his popularity with the masses of the voters. It also puts on him a tremendous responsibility to watch his step and see to it that no act of the Administration gets us embroiled. So long as he makes no misstep in the handling of foreign affairs —for the Secretary of State is, after all, merely the President's personal aide whom he could dis miss at any time— Roosevelt is bound to enlarge his personal prestige with the voters. Talk of "Incident" There is much speculation go ing on in Washington as'to what sort of an "incident" might pre cipitate a crisis in our foreign re lations which would give the President an opportunity to further assert himself and gain still greater popular acclaim. The German government has always been notoriously inept in its handling of foreign affairs, and many who understand the inter national situation are expecting some move on Germany's part which could be taken as serious ly here as was the German effort to line up Mexico against the United States, which was the final straw that brought us into the last war. The effort to make such an "incident" out of the seizure of the American ship "City of Flint" by a German sea-raider is being promoted by some of the little group who believe that for the United States to get into the war would insure their jobs for an other four years, and so would like to see the shooting start right off. There is no concern among sober-minded observers here over the "Flint" affair, since Germany has only applied the rules of con traband which were first formu lated and made to stick in inter national law by our own Govern ment, during the Civil War. There is little concern, either, over the bungling of the Russian authorities in the "Flint" matter. They chased the American ship out of a Russian port as soon as our Government protested. Unless the Germans pull a boner by harming the American crew of the "Flint" nobody in Washing ton feels that the incident is any thing to worry about, since a neutral ship carrying contraband THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA ,to a belligerent port is always subject to search and seizure. The President made a quick and snappy come-back to the charge of the Russian foreign minister that he was meddliqg in European affairs by expressing sympathy with Finland, when he pulled out the letter from the Russian government praising him for his appeal to Russia and other nations for peace. Build-up for 1940 Such things as that, heralded to the nation by press and radio, are becoming regarded in Wash- ( ington as part of the New Deal build-up for 1940, if not for a third term for Mr. Roosevelt himself. Henry Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, who is as enthusias tic over the New Deal as religious converts are said to be when they first experience a change of faith, got a slap on the wrist from the White House for saying publicly what many of his associates say privately, that Mr. Roosevelt must be re-elected. Mr. Wallace was born and bred a Republican, like Secretary Ickes of the In terior Department, the only other Cabinet member who has voiced the third-term idea. The President could kill off third-term talk in a single sen tence. At the same time, how ever, he would kill a lot of his influence with Congress. Brooks Cross Roads Prof. W. N.
