Mr. Landon’s Opportunity Independent analysts of the political situation—and there still are some such—say that one of the most remarkable phases of the current attitude of the public is its independence. A good many persons are distinctly on the fence and do not iknow how they are going to vote. That any one could find himself in such a position may be a surprise to those with political phobias, but it is true just the same. A red-hot Democrat may not understand how anyone could vote for Landon and the strong Republican partisans may not understand how anyone in his right mind could vote for Roose- velt, but that is merely because they have been bitten by the political virus. This condition of undecided contemplation on the part of many persons in the drouth belt offers an opportunity for Mr. Landor, It may ve fairly assumed that he favors coordinated action to definitely improve conditions in this area. No intelligent person could take an opposite stand. He can endorse the aims of the president's drouth com- imittee 100 per cent, just as all parties and politicians express universal devotion to God, the flag, the constitution, mother, home, children and the “common people.” There can be no dis- lagreement on the fundamental aims and the report of the drouth committee gives the Democrats no mortgage on them. They are shared as completely by persons who intend to vote Republican as by those who intend to vote Democratic. The Democratic weakness lies in the failure to say HOW the various things outlined shall be done. And that weakness offers Mr. Landon a chance to step into the picture with a defi- nitely constructive and workable plan of action—if he has one or can devise one. The Landon weakness to date has been his failure to be specific. His speeches have kept to principles and generalities, made no mention of concrete facts which interest many people. But in dealing with the drouth and with his attitude on the farm question he will have to talk turkey to convince the farm- ers. If he does they will listen and if he convinces them they will vote for him. The farm country now takes for granted that present soil erosion benefits, in some form or other, will be continued and lon somewhat the same basis. There seems no real cause for disagreement there for that has become a part of the national policy which the Republicans would find it impossible to disturb even if they wished to do so. The real question is that of permanent reconstruction on a sound basis and at minimum cost. It involves the preservation land restoration of our natural resources and their sound devel- opment. It means laying the basis for a sounder national life and more prosperity for the individual. The Democrats must rest on their record when this is brought to issue. They have controlled the government for four years almost without opposition. The Republicans have an opportunity to say what they would do. They should not fail to take advantage of it. Truth from Mussolini Whatever Americans may think of Mussolini—and the as- sumption is they do not think much of him—he is at least a realist. When he told a crowd at Avellino that the idea of eternal peace is “foreign to our creed and temperament” he may have been indulging in a little sword-rattling to scare the rest of Europe. But whether gr not he had an ulterior motive, the fact remains that he might have been speaking for every great nation on the globe. The reason there is no stable peace—and never has been— is that it is “foreign to the creed and temperament” of most men and of most lands. Take any great nation of the present or past for example and history pvints the truth of the remark. The United States, if one chooses to call attention to pacifist declarations, was built on aggression. The campaign to take the land away from the Indian was one of violence, not peaceful cooperation and moral suasion.. Land once held on this conti- nent by other nations was not all acquired by peaceful purchase. England, most interested in maintaining the status quo, did not obtain her vast possessions by peaceful methods. Neither | did any other nation. 4 Even the ancient Greeks, whose classical form of Republic remains a model for modern times, were not above doing a little plain and fancy pirating with fighting on the side. } The fact is that only self-satisfied nations are pacifist na- | tions, willing to keep the peace. i Among the great powers today the United States, England, | ¥rance and Russia may be so classified. They have all they need. But most of the others would even now be trying to take something away from their richer neighbors if they thought they could get away with it. The only thing which maintains the peace in Europe today is the uncertainty about the outcome, which assails the minds of would-be aggressors whenever they think of starting trouble. cratic propaganda based on the ef- Kansas schools, observers on the sidelines, Landon dramatized the biggest and most ef- fective issue the Republicans have in their campaign—taxes and federal ex- penditures. me” conversations with leaders and strategists at Republican and Dem- ocratic headquarters in New York.

They're ashamed of the sloppy way in which the act was concocted and yet proud of the principle which Landon says is “vicious.” corporate surplus tax has resulted in a billion dollars of increased income for investors through dividends. They will say that the tax doesn’t inhibit business expansion, because stock- holders receiving dividends forced out by the tax can reinvest their eae in the corporation if they de- Sire.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) New York, Sept. 1—Since Gover- nor Landon’s trip into the east was neither a triumphal procession nor an obvious failure, current sizeups of its effect on the campaign are necessar- ily influenced by prejudice, guesswork and wishful thinking on the parts of his opponents and his supporters. It is in order, however, to summar- ize what Landon really did on this invasion, because some of the angles have been overlooked. To enumerate: 1—Landon definitely aligned him- self in his Buffalo speech against New Dealers who believe a major national ailment is the concentration of wealth and against those who believe in re- distribution of income, “sharing the wealth,” or “soaking the rich” in one form or another. 2—Landon spoke out definitely on certain specific issues and demon- strated his possession of some of the political shrewdness and courage which his friends always have claim- ed for him. 3—Landon made a subtle but em- Phatic appeal to Roman Catholic vot- ers in New York and other urban cen- ters as part of a carefully planned Republican effort to persuade Roman Catholics that their parochial schools stand in danger because of the im- Plications of New Deal philosophy. 4—Landon’s speech at West Middle- sex was sour from a vote standpoint. His speech at Chautauqua was an honest and courageous effort to serve notice on progressives that he is real- ly a liberal. His speech at Buffalo was the best—at least from a political standpoint—that he has yet made. 5—The Chautauqua speech, his friends say. was partly an effort by|~ Landon to counteract heavy Demo- fect of Landon’s budget-balancing on 6—At Buffalo, according to neutral es * % Speeches Cheer G. 0.

So far as healing the scars of the primary battle when the Hearst forces and the regular Republicans clashed, there are some after-effects, but the men high up in the party are not al- lowing the primary fight to affect their desire for unity in the coming battle. Mr. Hoover's speeches in the last few months have developed a huge mail. One of his assistants told me that as many as 5,000 letters would come in a single day after a nation- wide broadcast. There seems no doubt that the em- phasis which Mr. Hoover has been giving to the fundamentals of con- stitutional government has awaken- ed @ considerable response among the middle classes in various parts of the country. ence, one of the most enthusiastic “David Lawrence | Mr. Hoover feels, as is perhaps most natural because of his experience, that the bank panic of February, 1933, could have been avoided and un- told losses to the American people saved. He believes that the confer- ences held at Hyde Park early in) 1933, which no doubt were intended to be secret, leaked out and that speculators learned of an intention to go off the gold standard, thus ship- ping many hundreds of millions—in the neighborhood of $1,000,000,000— to other countries. Mr. Hoover, it will be recalled, ask- led for assurances from the president- elect to reaffirm the gold position of the country as outlined in the 1932 campaign by Mr. Roosevelt, but it is asserted that when this was not forth- coming the rumors of proposed de- valuation grew and led ultimately to the conditions tnat forced the closing of the banks. It would appear that some day this particular period in American history between election day, 1932, and sin- auguration day, 1933, would be thor- ougly studied by some committees in congress to see to what extent specula- tive ‘elements interested in making & profit as a consequence of proposed New Deal policies pursued a course that led to the bank holiday itself. Mr. Hoover has a modest home here in the hills of Palo Alto. The view of the rolling country from his window, and the seclusion which his little home seems to offer, makes it possible for him to give hours upon hours of deliberative study to some of the paramount problems before the nation, He keeps constantly at work examining a multitude of data that he gathers bearing on public ques- tions. If he has a speech to write, he works over it for days and days. 6: HORIZONTAL 1 7Operatic (TAIL TUIN] star pice JAWIAIRIE] tured here _ {CIAIVIE] 11 Negative word JERIEMES! IRIOMELIA 12To deem.

Following a suggestion in your column, as quickly as possible when I feel leg cramps coming on at night, I take from one-third to one-half vetepoontit tgad soda in water. It seems to prevent further cramps ++. . (Mrs, M. ©.) , Answer—Another remedy, where leg cramps at night occur frequently, is calcium lactate, gluconate or chloride—ten grains of either, dissolved in water, sweetened and flavored with fruit juice, three times a day after food for several weeks. Invalidism Preferred Mother is not willing to try your varicose veins remedy. She fears (H. C.) Answer—As I recollect, mother is practically invalided by chronic var- icose ulcer, and she refuses to have the underlying varicose vein obliterated by injection, Such invalidiam is a sin.
