And since he probably has the broadest intelligence of any man in American political life, coupled with a strong sense of justice, his views often forecast trends long be fore they are observable to the jaun diced political eye. Thomas is no politician. Thomas is a humorist, an intellectual, one who shrinks from excesses of power. His faith in the development of all peo ples through education remains un [ shaken. The Communists have ridi : culed his willingness to wait. They 1 have been hammering at him inces santly, which may spell his doom. They arc for an immediate “united front," “rather than in a concentra tion camp later.” But Thomas, an Ohioan, a graduate of Princeton and of Union Theologi cal seminary, ar. ordained minister, has a thorough faith that knowledge! will save the day for the Americans. At times it seems a grim faith, as new demagogues or fanciful schemes ’ arise, but it is an enduring faith. Ha probably will not live to see tho day. NOMINEE?

The chief executive discussed tho agricultural problem at his press con ference after stipulating that he was not replying to the farm address last night by former President Herbert Hoover. He explained he had not had opportunity yet to read the Hoover speech. There was an intimation that new taxes might be necessary to meet the program as a substitute for the old processing levies killed by the Su preme Court. The President said, however, he was not ready to discuss that phase. Mr. Roosevelt said slight amend ments to the existing soil erosion and conservation acts will be necessary.
