Mcnutt retiring High commissioner to the Philippines to be administrator the new Federal Security Agency. The nomination entirely unexpected until Mcnutt a arrival last week in Washington from the Philippines suggested to political observers a move toward an Alliance new Deal and Mcnutt forces looking toward 1940. The nomination was expected to receive Senate approval without delay. Political ramifications the appointment excited Washington speculation. One explanation advanced by a shrewd politician was that . Roosevelt was reaching out for All the support possible in the forthcoming contest with the conservative Garner faction the party Over the 1940 nomination. Mcnutt by continuing within the administration would achieve what appears to be one his major objectives maintenance Good relations with the new Deal. He probably is aware that any Democrat who has to fight the administration for the nomination and then is unable to obtain . Roosevelt a support in the Campaign would have Small Chance election. Informal Alliance Between . Roosevelt and Mcnutt would commit neither to anything very definite and would not demonstrate that the president was determined upon a third term. But his minimum demand upon the 1940 convention doubt less would be nomination a candidate acceptable to him. It is beginning to appear that Mcnutt is determined to be in the category those acceptable to . Roosevelt and that the president is Content with that arrangement. Mcnutt also is avoiding a break with the Garner conservatives. If circumstances were such that . Roosevelt determined to run next year he might have some slight hold Mcnutt and the Mcnutt organization by virtue the Federal Security appointment.

If nominated again. Or. Roosevelt must have a new running mate because vice president John n. Gamer is a presidential candidate in his own right and scarcely Likely to accept a Consolation prize that to has possessed for eight years. Mcnutt might turn up there. Or the new Deal might need a new presidential Campaign manager if postmaster general James a. Farley disapproved third term. Perhaps Mchale would fit in there. What Farley thinks third term possibilities done knows but he. There is a gradual and recent accumulation evidence however that he does not care to go along with . Roosevelt a third time.
