New U. S. Timefable Needed-
To Allay Political Confusion
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—Compounded confusion of the
last' two weeks’ rush in Congress, followed im
mediately by the Republican Convention in Phila
delphia, bring out the fact that what this country
may need most is a new timetable,
T!i‘e one which the U. S. has been running on has
beeg revised only once in recent years. That was
when lauguration Day was changed from March
4to January 20, for Roosevelt’s second term. The
idea of that change was to cut down the time lapse
bettveen election and inauguration of a new ad
ministration from four months to two. The railroad
had made it possible for a newly elected official to
getito Washington in less than four months, but it
took the government 150 years to wake up and ad
migit -
Heétore the wars, Congress had so little to do that
it dould easily wind up its business in time to ad
joi.l'n and go home before the conventions. Forty
years ago, Congress adjourned May 30. Twenty
years ago, Congress adjournsd May 290,
OVERTIME ON OVERTIME
This year Congress wound up on June 20 only by
working overtime on overtime. The amount of work
it @id was really remarkable. Even so, it had to
hurry through a lot of business without careful
consideration and it left a lot of matters undone.
'?he Legislative Reorganization Act of two years
ago ‘set July 30 as adjournment date. If Congress
had another month to work in, it could have done a
better job. But nominating conventions have tradi
tionally been held in late June and early July, so
at’s when they had to be held this year.
3:&3 schedule may have been all right before the
of the telegraph, radio, the airplane and tele
vigion. When the country was strictly on a mud
road schedule, it was necessary to have four months
be;weeh nominating convention and election. That
gaye the candidates time to tour the country by
horse and buggy if necessary to let the voters hear
tb&h‘ golden voices and see how handsome they
were. -
%th today’s faster media of travel and com
mgpication, the voters don't need that much time
togmake up their minds. And no particular point is
srved by keeping the country stirred up for 10
mths of every fourth year, just to plc+ politics.
Conventions in cooler September, with elections
iny November or later, would do the trick just as
p ] ',The country doesn’t close down in early winter
as it.did before the automobile.
DST HOPEFUL PLANK
“Perhaps the most hopeful plank in the Republican
platform adopted at Philadelphia is the one calling
tm' revision of procedure for election of president
8-l§d vice president. to reflect more exactly the
popular vote. This is another of the good ideas from
Sén. Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., of Massachusetts, who
was chairman of the Resolutions Committee that
drafted the Philadelphia platform. :
Under the present system, Roosevelt in 1936 got
only 60 per cent of the popular vote, but he got 98
pér cent of the electoral vote. Three times in U. 8.
history this system has resulted in election of a
president who did not receive a majority of the
popular vote. They were John Quincy Adams in
1824, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876 and Benjamin
Harrison in 1888.
‘}éfln top of this, the whole primary ele tion system
i!ild the random methods of selectirg delegates to
national nominating. conventions could stand, a
fig over. Less than half the 1094 delegates at the
Philadelphia GOP convention were elected by the
people. The other half being appointed by the
bosses, it was only natural that they acted ac
cordingly. That's why many students of govern
ment believe there is merit in the idea of direct
primary election of candidates for the presidency,
@m; away with the whole cumbe "some and out
_?od!d convention procedure.
Xi® % %
«“‘ ‘Senator Lodge was co-author, with Congressman
Clarence Brown of Ohio, of last year’s resolution
which set up the commission under ex-President
Herbert Hoover to study reorganization of the fed
€ral government. This commission will report next
vear. It can’t fail to come up with some good ideas.
m_'re's so much room for improvement.
";The whole idea of reorganizing the executive end
of the government is a natural follow-up on the
eongressional reorganization work begun by ex-
Sen. Robert A. LaFollette, jr., of Wisconsin and
Congressman Mike Monroney of Oklahoma. If
outmoded procedures of legislative, executive,
j‘pdici'al and electoral’machinery could be brought
39’ to date everyboedy would benefit.

. lime To Unfurl The
Democratic Flag And Fight.
This is not the hour in which the Dem
ocrats of the United States should take it
lying down. It is an hour in which the
lovers of good government as represented
in this country by the Democratic party
should unfurl the Democratic flag. Here
in Georgia and throughout the country a
number of leading newspapers have been
slobbering over Dewey and Warren and
acknowledging defeat four months in
advance of the national election. There is
no such thing as inevitable defeat for the
Democrats in the offing. Those who in the
past have fought and won Democratic vic
tories should not pull down the flag.
Compliments may be honestly handed
out to Dewey and Warren, but let it be
remembered that neither of them is a
superman. Dewey is a good executive,
let that be admitted, but there are other
good executives in this country. He does
not monopolize the field of ability and it
is ridiculous to refer to him as one of Am
erica’s greatest statesmen. Warren is a
good man and he has a certain amount of
energy and successful political ha’ndlingl
of big issues, but neither does he monop
olize the field of statesmanship.
The real fight in the national election
should be made on issues, not on men.
Four years ago Dewey was overwhelm
ingly defeated for the presidency. He may
have grown in political stature but the!
American people have not so utterly |
changed in their opinions as to make it
certain that he will be a winner in this
year's presidential contest. }
Two years ago the people in the con
gressional elections swept the Democrats
out of power in both branches of the Con
gress, thus enthroning the Republicans.
The fight now should be on the record
that party made in Congress. It was one
of dismal failure. The Republicans had
the opportunity to measure up and fell
down all along the line. That is the yard
stick by which they should be measured
in the campaign this year. It can hardly
be expected that they would make any
better record should they be kept in Con
gressional power.
Regardless of personal candidates, the
Republican party is still the defender of
big money, trusts and special privilege. It
never has been the friend of the great
masses of the American people. It never
will be. The only hope the masses of the
people have for a look-in on government
is through the triumph of the Democratic
party. }
Within two weeks the Democrats will
hold their national convention. At that
time the party should put out a platform
defending the rights and privileges of the
American people and its leaders should
get behind whatever ticket may be nomi
nated and fight out the campaign on
issues and not necessarily on men.
The faint-hearted should take on a new
supply of courage and cast off the de
featist attitude that admits defeat in ad
vance of hard work to achieve victory.
Thé Demoeratic press, in Georgia and out
of Georgia, should run up the Democratic
flag and defy the Republican enemy.
There ig nothing that pays off so well in a
political campaign as faith, courage and
_unceasing effort. Let every passing mo
ment now be one of confidence and deter
mined effort.
Often it takes many years to train a
civil servant thoroughly in the art of bu
reaucracy, but once in a while one comes
along who catches on fast. Such was the
junior clerk in the British Ministry of
Civil Aviation who sent out seven printed
sheets of specifications, description, regu
lations, bidding forms and the like, invit
ing offers for a surplus property item.
The offering consisted of eight dozen
screws valued at 18 cents. Of course, such
a thing couldn’t happen in this country.
It is a strange paradox that when we
seek to curb their seditious activities, the
subversionists seek refuge under the pro
tection of the same Constitution and the
same Bill of Rights they are attempting
to destroy.—Rep. Joseph W. Martin, jr.,
(R) of Massachusetts. :
It is not the atomic bomb, but the food
crisis that may destroy us. — Sir John
Boyd Orr, director general, UN Food Or
ganization. R e
