Britons have a steadily deepening interest in U.S. as well as home politics. Two weeks ago the Yorkshire Post, owned by Anthony Eden's family, asked Americans to reelect Mr. Roosevelt.

His objects were three: to insure Republican success in scattered municipal, State and Congressional elections (notably those in Ohio and Wisconsin); to replenish the party war chest; to renominate and reelect President Hoover. The Fess keynote address appeared to be in the key of C: no sharps, no flats, just straight eulogy of Republicanism and straight condemnation of its opponents...
