Third Parties in Action How third parties work out in practice is amply demon- strated in Greece where parliament has been dissolved because 14 Communist deputies, wielding a balance of power in the chamber of deputies, have been unable to agree with either of the two major parties. On one side were the Venizelists, followers of the late Greelé statesman, and on the other were their opponents. The Communists, in the middle, fought both sides and failure to meet the problems besetting the country resulted. Disorder followed and now comes the declaration of martial law to pre- serve the peace. 3 France offers another example of the way in which a multi- plicity of political parties handicaps the functions of govern- ment. No premier in recent years has been able to maintain a majority in the French parliament without a coalition of vari- ous groups and he has had to displease only one group to lose his job. Thus it is only nautral that French premiers should rise to power and fall again like corn in a street vendors popper. America, by contrast, has never had more than two major Third groups have threatened at various times but have never amounted to much. Therein lies one of the big secrets of the success of our government, for in a country as big as ours, organized as a Democracy, we could never get anything parties. done unless party organizations were strong. That America has managed to hold together as long as it has is a political miracle in view of its size and the tremendous diversity of interest among its people. To the two-party sys- tem may be given much of the credit for that achievement. Parties in power may or may not have been cognizant of and responsive to the interests of all the people but they have had ample time to put their ideas into effect without undue interference from their political opponents and have never been forced to deal with third political groups in order to achieve their ends. The nearest we have come to it is the various blocs which cut across party lines, but these operate only on special issues and once the condition which called them into being is dis- posed of they revert to their normal status. Thus on most mat- ters our government is enabled to maintain a normal view with- out having to give too much attention to groups espousing ideas fundamentally different from those held by the nation as a whole. The Plight of Wild Life ocation of a large number of ducks in the pond at the foot of Jackman’s slough not only gives Bismarck residents an oppor- tunity to observe these children of nature but calls attention to the plight in which our wild life finds itself as a result of the drouth. Because the government prepared great breeding grounds in the northern part of this state it has been assumed that the supply of ducks this year would be plentiful, but this, it seems is not the case. Reports from the Mouse river area say that unusuallly large broods have been hatched this year and that, where there is plenty of water, they are in good condition. But in the thousands of sloughs and pot holes which dot this state the increase will be tittle or nothing. In some places, according to workers who have studied the matter, from 50 to 100 per cent of the ducklings hatched In many cases ducks taken from dry places have been transported miles to places where they have died for lack of water. could continue to live. The federal bureau of biological survey is fully aware of this condition and is doing what it can to meet the emergency. It also contemplates a long-range program which would ma- terially increase the number of refuges where water would be assured. At present, according to Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the bureau, about 2,000,000 acres are in process of development end 5,000,000 additional acres are needed. . All of which points to the advisability of the government giving careful consideration to the proposal to make a water- fowl refuge of the McKenzie slough by damming Apple Creek to insure a plentiful supply of water. If this improvement were now in operation it would be un- necessary to hunt for places where ducks, taken from nearby dried-up lakes and sloughs, would have a chance for survival. It is one of the few places in this area which could be pre- pared for such use in the event of a future emergency. Rising Living Costs - The drouth began to make itself felt in June, according to statistics covering the cost. of living, and will be an increasingly large factor until the next harvest.

Tugwell Back in Limelight .. . McGrady’s Peace Move Is Spurned by John L. Lewis . . . Foes of Roosevelt Fumble Again. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug. 8.—The chief aim of the national drouth committee, chairmaned by Rural Electrification Administrator Morris L. Cooke, will be to recommend a permanent land plan for the drouth area for the president's presentation to congress. Committee members privately agree that the most important thing to be accomplished is a considerable reduc- tion in dry land farming, especially in the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, and other sections of the “dust bowl.” The committee is practically cer- tein to propose a large program of land acquisition by the government which would retire millions of acres from dry farming and turn it into grazing land which would be opened to grazing associations. The next most important recom- mendation probably will be for a pro- gram of water conservation, espe- cially with respect to small streams and ponds. Congress would have to appro- priate the money. Need created by the drouth has already made it ob- vious that available relief funds of WPA and the Resettlement Admin- istration can’t last. beyond January, at the most optimistic estimate. It seems likely that by November everybody will be admitting that one of the first jobs of the next congress will be to provide more WPA funds to run through next June—as well as to decide whether it wants to em- bark on the recommended land program. Seriousness of the drouth situation has become especially intensified lately with ruin of corn crops, espe- cially in Nebraska. x * * Tugwell in Spotlight The drouth has put Resettlement Administrator Rex Tugwell very much back on the map, after it had ap- peared that the RA was due for ex- tinction and it had been said that Tugwell would be kept out of sight during the campaign. The RA has become the backbone of the drouth relief effort. It is able to make grants and loans to relieve tural distress, whereas WPA can only Provide work and has been unable to 60 so quickly into action. Also, more than 40 per cent of Re- settlement’s 9,500,000-acre submar- ginal land purchase program is placed in the drouth area, which means about $14,000,000 spent for land—most of it paid to families which want to relocate. Furthermore, Resettlement has done a heavy job of land use plan- ning and research which should Prove invaluable to any committee considering a permanent program. Relatively ignorant in the 1934 drouth, the government now knows all about the land in the drouth area, what it is good for, and whether various sections ought to be used for ranch- ing, dry farming, or continuous crop farming. The RA has worked closely with state planning boards, especially in the Dakota's, Montana, and Wyom- ming, discovering the areas where there are too many persons for the in land to support. * * *% John Lewis Balks Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed- ward F. McGrady, striving to the last to avert a complete break between the A. F. of L. and its member unions ir the Committee for Industrial Or- ganization, secretly approached Chairman John L. Lewis with an of- fer from certain members of the A. F. of L.'s executive council. If the C. I. O. would disband, Lewis and the labor leaders allied with him could go ahead under A. F. of L. aus- pices and organize workers in the steel, automobile, rubber, cement, and aluminum industries on an industrial union basis. “I am accepting no proposition with Another Anti-F. R. Fumble The fumbling tactics of Liberty Leaguers and the Al Smith-Jim Reed- Bainbridge Colby Democrats continue to pass all understanding. Inasmuch as Roosevelt's worst enemies have admitted ever since that the league banquet featuring Smith’s speech was one of the worst political bloomers ever pulled, you might think they’d watch their step. But now they let the call for the convention of “Constitutional Demo- crats” be sent out by Sterling E. Ed- munds, wealthy citizen of St. Louis. Edmunds is a leading spirit and big shot in the National Committee for Protection of Child, Family, School end Church, which, whatever else you might suppose it to be, is a vehicle’ for fighting child labor legislation. Edmunds is known to child welfare workers as a tireless foe of the child labor amendment. What the “Constitutional Demo-| * crats” seem to need most is a brain trust. ust.
