Washington, June 24 The shadow of war overhangs Wash ington with a deeper gloom than since the dreadful days of 1861. Neither the war with Spain in 1898 nor the nation's entrance into the World War in 1917 seem ed to carry the menace, so widely felt by all the people and so deeply concerning .the responsible officials of the government, as does the present situation.

It will overhang the whole presidential campaign, now about to begin. It may easily bemuddle the issue of politics and bring about a situation in which none can safely venture a prediction as to the outcome. It is the belief of political Washington that the war situation will result in the re-nomination of President Roose velt for a third term when the Democrats hold their convention next month. In that case the major issue will be whether or not the Ameri can people have greater confi dence in Mr. Roosevelt's ability to carry the nation safely through the crisis or in that of the Re publican Party and its leaders to manage the problems of defense and possibly of war itself. The unique spectacle is likely to be presented of a contest between an entire political party, on the one hand, and a single individual on the other. The personality of the Republican candidate would be of secondary importance, except as he demonstrates his ability to in spire confidence. Congress Not Convinced That Congress is not complete ly confident of the President's ability to steer the ship of state THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA single-handed through the pres-1 ent troubled international waters is evidenced by the agreement of Democrats with Republicans in the latter party's proposal that Congress should not adjourn, as the President had proposed, but merely recess over the periods of the political conventions. Open expressions of unwilling ness to leave everything in the hands of the President, with Con gress away, have come from em inent leaders of his own party. The fear that his personal utter ances and actions are tending to involve the nation in a war for which we are not adequately pre pared is heard on every side. There is no disagreement worth mentioning between indivi-1 duals or parties on the necessity for getting ready to defend our selves against the possible "gang ing up" of Germany, Italy and Japan. The only argument is as to whether incautious official ut terances may provoke some hos tile act which would justify a de mand upon Congress for a de claration of war. Publicly, no re sponsible official will go further than to say that Germany "may" win the war. Privately, the same well-informed people express the belief that Germany and Italy to gether will achieve the conquest of Europe. Also, in high official circles, there is great apprehension as to how the United States could handle a situation involving the Monroe Doctrine and our obliga tion to prevent any foreign na tion from acquiring sovereignty over any part of the Americas. Penetration Realized The extent of Nazi and Fascist penetration in Latin America is only now being realized. The speech of- President Vardas, of Brazil, who is nearer a dictator than the president of a demo cracy, in which he seemed to ap prove Mussolini's declaration of war, has brought out into the open one of the things the State Department has known for a long time. That is, that between them, Germany and Italy have been establishing large and im portant colonies in South Ameri ca of people who still feel their first allegiance is to their Euro pean homelands. In Mexico there is an even more dangerous sit uation. Inside our own boundaries there are evidences being brought to light that the "Fifth Column" is already actively at worje. Three cases of unquestionable sabotage in American aviation plants have recently been uncovered. Fresh efforts on a large scale to run down undesirable aliens, especial ly those with Nazi or Fascist af filiations, are being made. Plans are maturing for the in tensive military training of a million young men. The proposal for the conscription of all able bodied youths for a year of army service is gaining adherents. Ten thousand military air pilots are to be started on their training courses at once. The whole pic ture, as Washington sees it, is of a nation that expects to go to war mighty soon, if not tomor row. To Affect Campaign That is bound to have an effect upon the presidential campaign, especially if Mr. Roosevelt is re nominated. The argument against "changing horses while crossing a stream" will be worked to the limit of its possibilities. The speed with which the present administration got into action as soon as the necessity for war preparation became evident to everybody will be used as an ar gument that the Republicans couldn't have done better; that, and the caliber of the men whom the President has appointed to see that the necessary things are done quickly. The argument of the opposition that these things ought to have been started long ago will be met tn @ It isn't Easy to go thru Life without ait Accident . HUGH ROYALL ALL FORMS OF INSURANCE PHONE 111 by the reply that the public and Congress wouldn't have stood for them until they began to get scared. The President is a tired man. He would like to be relieved of his responsibilities. If he had had the decision to make three months ago he probably would have decided not to rim again. Now, even those who do not ad mire him are asking • how any man can reject the opportunity to lead his nation through the greatest crisis in eighty years.
