President *Diaz, representing the Nicaraguan conservatives, and President-elect Moncada, rep resenting the liberals of that country, have join ed in asking President- Ho to have the United build Nicaragua Canal Through treaty agreements the United States holds what we might call an option on the right to build that waterway The arguments pre sented by the Nicar uan statesmen make a strong «¢ e in favor b construction of the Canal at once. It is conceded that the time is not far ahead when the Panama Canal will be inadequate for accommodation the traffic be tween the oceans. Its continued growth is evi- dence cf that. That being the case, there is every reason why the beginning of the Nicaragua Canal should be soon The Nicaragua Canal will make a shorter route between American Pacific and Atlantic points than the Panama Canal. Its construction would put new life into Central American States, and bring the United States into contact with them on a basis that would count for closer friendship. The results of American association with the Republics of Panama and Cuba are guarantees of the benefits that would accrue to other Latin American countries if they were linked with us in undertakings such as would accompany the construction of the Nicaragua Canal, and of the friendships that would follow NEW ANGLE ON CHRISTMAS. The shipment a short carloads of Christmas trees 000 trees, from Port Angeles to the East is significant of more than one thing. The first thought that sug- gests itself is of the growing demand for Christmas time hout ago of thirty things due to the increased observance of the occasion that has come with greater population and prosperity and the growth of advertising and its inducement toward standardized behaviour by the people.

Nor has the opposition failed to npte the skill with which Mr. Hoover conducted himself and In the beginning it was taken for granted that Mr. Hoover's admitted profound for and brave the campaign nd versatile mind would not lend itself to the me of politics. But, New York Times says, Mr. Hoover accepted the political situation as he found it and the campaign as an as the engineering problem the objective of which was to get elected. To him politicians, bloes, isms, etc., were the tools at hand and he picked them up and made the most of them. Gov. Smith wag faced with a different problem. He had always fought political battles from the standpoint of a member of the minority And in his contest for the Presidency, as in his other conte: he fought only he knew how to fight—by endeavoring to convince the electorate of the soundness of his position, by defending himself and the rec- titude of his past and present intentions and by | charging the position of his opponents—the mean while his cards all on the table. Both fought with skill' and courage The good behavior following the election had the fine example of Gov. Smith, his early ac-| ceptance of the result, his frank telegram of con- Bratulations and expression of good will to his successful rival. frankly and good naturedly spake the New York World, which led all the newspapers of the country in the earnest- ness and strength of the campaign it the election of Gov. Smith and of the liberal cause which he that it had not been directed in a generation. The World, writing within the hour of the announcement of the result, under the heading “Hoover and Smith,” said: The result fs not what we wished it ewise made for for a triumph led in a way things. | we find good sportsmanship after the hardest f litical battle of the generation It is no reflection on President Coolidge that the, absent Hoover overshadows him in yresent session of Congress. It. but exemplifies the fact that as soon as a new President is elected the people are through with the old cne. The people |were even impatient for Harding to replace W son after the 1920 election, and for Taft to |take the place of Roosevelt a dozen years before |that; They were on pins and needles while wait- ing for McKinley to succeed Cleveland. However, |this time the stature cf the incoming President |probably exceeds that of the one refiring-—and that is no reflection on President Coolidge either. These receptions President-elect Hoover is getting down in South America doubtless make [him feel once in a while as if the Presidential campaign were not yet over. They probably re- mind him of doings in New York, San Francisco, |St. Louis 4nd other American towns dur the |weeks before election | S i { Rediscovering Scuih Ameri | (New York Times.) | The instant and wide response from all South [America to the news that Mr. Hoover is planning {an immediate visit to the republics of that con- tinent strikingly confirms the wisdom of his de- |eision. It promises to be of great henefit to the two. Americas, South Americans differ in many things among themelves, but they have a common |feeling about the United States. There is sporadic talk about “imperialism,” as manifested in Haiti, {Santo Domingo and Nicaragua; there is occasional Jealous discussion of the imiplications of the Mon- roe Doctrine; there is always criticism of our |tariff policy. But the one sentiment which really |unites people in the countries to the soufh of us is resentmen at our condescending ignorance of |their political institutions, their culture and their Inational life. What has roused more feeling than |anything else is our lack of understanding of our |neighbors, and general indifference to them. No ccuntry is more friendly to the United States than |Brazil, yet even there a current saying is that {we in the United States are divided into two |groups—those who know that Portuguese and not |Spanish is the language of Brazil, and those who |do not. These subtle and unintended affronts to |the natiénal pride of South Americans have been a sericus handicap to our diplomatic officials and business men. That they have succeeded so well as they have in promoting good relations and interchange of goods is much to their credit. They have pointed the way to better things in the future It will be within the power of Mr. Hoover |to sweep away much of the lingering misunder- |standing. He is doubly equipped for such an |undertaking. Through the fine work of the De- |partment of Commerce he has acquired a compre- hensive grasp of the great possibilities of devel- oping ‘trade between South America and the |United States. Upon its growing importance he |has dwelt again and again in his annual reports. |But it is certain that he would not make his trip merely in the guise of a glorified commercial |agent. He will go as President-elect of the Unit- |ed States. His very voyage and presence will be gesture of friendship. Nothing so in its bearing upon this particular question has occurred since Mr. Root, when Secretary of State, made his tour of South America. 1In all its leading capitals he received a warm welcome, both official and popu- lar, and his measured words of friendship made a deep impression at the time upon South Amer 1 sentiment. Mr. Hoover should be able to do even more to reassure and win over the Governments and the public with which he comes in contact. His trip was happily conceived, and bids fair to have the happiest results. Incidentally, it is a great political stroke at home.

Unless one or two of them suddenly emerge as stowaways, or op down from an air- plane, or pop up from a%®submarine, he will be quit of the whole lot until he gets back to this country. This will at once give him more time to think for himself, and will serve notice on job-hunters and would-be advisers that he in- tends to make up his own mind about all the important appcintments and policies of his Ad- ministration.

(New York World.) Mr. Benny Leonard on joining the Book League of America received a copy of the Book League menthly, which. contains the recently published biography of Emile Zola by Matthew Josephson And he wrote: I am interested in this biography be- cause 1 am interested in the lives of all great fighters. Zola’s courage during the Dreyfus trail was essentially of the same stuff that makes a champion in the ring. 1 congratulate the Book League on this choice of its Editorial Board. In other words, as we understand this, if Zola had only had Benny's opportunities he might have amounted to something.
