Unanimously and amid cheers, the Democratic National Committee, also meeting in Washington, earnestly "solicited" Franklin Roosevelt to continue as "the great world leader." New national chairman named to succeed Postmaster General Frank C. Walker: Missouri's young, professional Robert E. Hannegan (TIME, Jan. 24). Convention city: Chicago. Campaign theme: twelve years of Roosevelt v. twelve years of oldtime G.O.P. "normalcy." Now, Committeemen muttered grimly, lukewarm Democratic Congressmen who have been sniping at the New Deal and then coasting into office on the Roosevelt coattails will have to come to the aid of the Party...
...Author Lehmann-Haupt records the growth of Dore's style. It is the childhood vision of his Strasbourg schoolroom. Its squirming, unposed action bespeaks an eye that never let go of much (an asset unmistakable in a later-year impression of a London crowd, which echoed the same theme of hellishly snarled humanity). In the early schoolroom satire there is also more than a suggestion of how little the artist was ever able to let go of his mother.

...Congress. . . . The action of the Department of Justice at this particular time in our war effort is difficult to understand." New Reason. There was ample evidence that the suit had little to do with the war. As cartel charges go, these were picayune. Even the favorite Justice Department theme, that cartels slow down the war effort, was soft-pedaled. And the Department readily admitted that the case would not be tried for a year or two, well after the war will presumably be over. Only in the light of postwar trade did the suit make sense. Many a U.S. businessman...
...Japan will present moderate terms of settlement at the end of the conflict," he said, enlarging on his "no unreasonable ambitions" theme. He implied that his country was driven to war. Most of the land which Japan is acquiring he classed as "all expense, no remuneration...
