When Al Smith bolted the Democratic Party, he simply said he would "take a walk." Analysts of Franklin Roosevelt's straddlebug epic could find in it, beyond the threat to bolt if he does not like the 1940 nominee, no threat to found a third party. But it did definitely, for the record, announce that Franklin Roosevelt will dictate the next nomination, or else...

While Soviet bombers continued their out-of-bounds forays, nothing more was heard of the Japanese threat to carry the war into Siberia if the bombing of Manchukuoan towns was not stopped. Despite repeated reports of imminent annihilation, Soviet Mongols were still on the "wrong" side of the Khalka River, and the Japanese were "reluctant" to dislodge them. Manchukuoan Government-controlled newspapers hinted that if the Soviet Union...
