The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the ase for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and also the focal news published herein ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION FAILURE IN (RITI( AL PERIOD. | S | With the adjournment of 'lw seventy-first Con- gress, Republican in both branches neither Presi- dent Hoover nor members of his party among the Federal lawmakers can review the record of legis- lation with much satisfaction. Both were beset by factional controversy. For the most part, neither took advantage of pressing portunities, with the result that the country is dissatisfied. Perhaps no President ever encountered such pnr-[ sistent opposition from his own party in Congress as President Hoover. Certainly none in a first term was opposed so vigorously and successfully, and deprived so completely of party leadership. On the three great issues of the recent session, | the tariff, Muscle Shoals and relief, which included | loans on veterans' ceretificates, the Chief Executive was at variance with party associates. In the tariff measure, his authority to change rates 50 per cent up or down was challenged and for a time threat- ned. He signed the bill, which was passed after | scandalous trading, and thus put into effect ihe highest and most unfair tariff law ever imposed on the people of the nation. With respect to Muscle Shoals, the White House | policy of private operation, not only was rejected’ but the principle of Federal ownership and opera- tion was favored by decisive majorities in both branches of Congress. His veto of the bill providing | for Government operation was sustained by the Sen- ate, but the two-thirds necessary to over-ride his veto lacked only a comparatively few votes. On nearly all phases of relief the President's opinions diverged from those of Congress. His op- position to loans on veterans' certificates was de- termined but unavailing. He commanded the sup- port of only a handful of fellow Republicans, and his veto of the veterans' measure was quickly over-, ridden by record-breaking majorities. The President’'s recommendation for American adherence to the World Court, notwithstanding the indorsement of eminent lawyers, educators and other distinguished citizens, got no response from the recent Congress, and the issue is left for the de- termination of the next Failure in leadership is largely responsible for the shortcomings of Congress, and for the paucity of evecutive accomplishments. Had responsible and effective leadership been available, either from the White House or its spokesmen in Congress at the outset of the session just ended, the administration program would have been easy of achievement. Mr. Hoover chose, wisely or unwisely, lo keep his hands off. The Republicans had decisive majorities in both the House and Senate. In the former, except on two occasions, Muscle Shoals and the Veterans' Loan, gave Mr. Hoover unfaltering support. In the | Senate, the organization's chieftains permitted the situation to get out of hand and into the power of the insurgents and opposition. Inter-party wrang- ling, such as the Norris-Lucas fight, consumed valuable time that could better have been occupied in the consideration of needed constructive legisla- i similar conclave, i cussions dealt with Prohibition. { Sheppard, Morrison and | itself, | standard bearers on a Wet, | form. | Amendment, {as the largest.

In only one respect were the President and | the regulars successful—in the passage of the de- partmental appropriation bills—which rendered un- necessary a special session of the 72nd Congress And in this, at least, they had the co-operation of {the Democrats. Unquestionably the pressure of widespread public opinion brought this about since among many members, particularly in the Senate, there was a desire for a special term. DEMOCRATIC DYNAMITE NO INJURIOUS. The recent Washington meeting of the Demo- cratic National Committee staged the fireworks as had been expected but the “dynamite” which was expected to be exploded turned out to be noninjur- jous. The gathering was summoned by Chairman Raskob to discuss plans for financing the party debt and organization policies to be pursued dur- ing the next nine months, or until another session shall be held. : Of course, as would have been the case in any the enlivening part of the dis- "The views of Mr. Raskob on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment are so strong, the determination of Senators others so inflexible that the Democratic Party shall not commit itself ol repeal, that a collision was an inevitable occurrence. That the explosion confined itself so a few sharp passages in debate is a hopeful sign. It is true, as the Dry adherents pointed out, |the National Committee cannot make commitments on the party's policy that would be binding over nny contrary policy that the national convention mlght adopt when it gathers in 1932 to marshal the party phalanxes for the fray. The convention, will determine whether the party will go before the nation seeking votes for its national Dry, or hybrid plat- The National Committee’s action on the subject would not be mandatory, nor even directory. It can only be advisory. Undoubtedly if the Wets are sufficiently strong to put through in the com- mittee a resolution for the repeal of the Eighteenth it would aid their cause in the con- vention. In fact, such an action by the committee iwou]d indicate similar action by the delegates to the convention. The committee is not constituted along the same lines as the convention will be made up. The former is composed of representa- tives from each of the States, and the smallest States has exactly the same number of members than the smaller ones. If the committee should | be about evenly divided on Prohibition, the odds/ would strongly favor the Wets in the convention itself. The Wire-Tappers. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The tapping of telephone wires to obtain formation, in contravention of State law, in- is prob- | ably the most flagrant example of lawlessness by supposed law-enforcement agents in the United States. The Attorney-General has just approved “limited use of wire-tapping by the Department sf Justice.” This replaces the former condition of conflicting opinions among enforcement bodies. At least, we know mnow where the Department of Justice stands. It is prepared to back up Pro- hibition agents, in specific instances, when they violate State law and the integrity of private telephone conversation. A Federal department, in other words, has approved the violation of State laws by its agents, even though those laws are not inconsistent with any Federal statute. Such is the fruit of attempted enforcement of step, sanctioned sometimes by Courts, glossed over in other cases by evasion of a clear-cut trial. The constitutional guarantees of an earlier day have beeh whittled down to an appalling minimum, so feeble is the pressure on low-enforcing agencies to tion.
