When Democrats Fight. (New York World-Telegram.) ! When Democrats get together they fight. And fight they did yesterday at the National Committee meeting in Washington. Today the Republicans are rejoicing over the division in the opposion ranks. The Republicans have this glee coming to them. It is the first chance they have had to grin since |the November landslide wiped out the Hoover | majorities in Congress. But this rejoicing over the bxeakup of the Democratic Party may be premature. its next national convention. In his weekly which now appears in the New York World- | egram, Gov.

Ample machinery is provided by law for any- one so desiring to become a candidate in opposition to the choice of convention if that selection proves unsuitable to any considerable number of party voters. It is a matter of record in this Territory that a great many candidates seeking public office do not file subject to the party primaries, but under ihe| statute for independent candidacies. The repeal of the primary law ought not to take way this opportunity The truth is that direct nominating primaries | have proved anything but successful in Alaska. The serious-minded party man has for several years that they were destroying party re- sponsibility and producing which is anything but conducive to a healthful state of affairs in government.

That future expansion of export British market is factures is indicated in an economic the United Kingdom the Commerce has released. The trend toward erican manufactured and of unmanufactured and semi-n trade with the finished manu- handbook of Department likely to be in increased purchases of Am- declining imports anufactured products goods has been evid during the post-war era. Many factors are involved, including the increase in direct shipments of American cotton and <copper, forme marketed through Liverpool and London, the changing character of output of British cotton mills, and growth of the British sugar industry In 1028 approximately one-third of xports to Britain was manufactured products. American high-grade specialties are steadily gain- ing favor among the British. Introduction of many of them necessitates an extensive educational cam- our paign. Growing popularity of household labor- saving devices is referred to. It is to be doubted that British demand would be so large but for steadily . increasing difficulty servants. hile American manufacturers concentrate most- ly on the “middie-class” market, the British think chiefly in terms of upper and lower classes. When American “middle-class” products fit in between the British manufacturers’ upper class and lower class offerings, they are most successful. in finding satisfactory aetive minority ,often obtains | been put in office through | ticians, about their establishment as an ad- | There is only one excuse | When it not | a chaotic condition here | " the chandelier | (Macon, Party harmony is a fine thing.

But that the Am-| | people be given the opportunity to declare will on this issue of State rights is funda-| {mental.

Three years ago, after similar antics, they nominated a wet for President. The country is| wetter today than then, and the tide still rises. Unless all signs fail, the Democrats will nom- inate another wet next year. Meanwhile, Raskob and the party management would be foolish to deny the dry faction a talking and fighting chance. And that explains the fireworks yesterday. erican | their \ . i A Vetoing President. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) ! Judging from the record of two years, it ]ooks‘ |very much as though President Hoover might set, | before 1932, a new record for vetoes. Rejection of | |the Muscle Shoals bill and Senator Wagner's cm-\ ployment agencies bill are the most conspicuous caces just now, but the President also has, vetoed 11 other bills of this session, making a total of 19 measures to earn this unhappy fate. | Mr. Hoover is now fifth among a century and | a half of Chief Executives in the number of bills, |vetoed. The probable complexion of the seventy-‘ second Congress suggests that he will add quite! a number to his list of 19 rejected measures. | A good deal of conflict between White House| |and Congress is inevitable when party lines are | so tangled as now. But this hardly justifies the failure of the President to offer any alternative |to such vetoed bills as Senator Wagner's. Doubt- less Mr. Hoover's grounds for disapproving the| Wagner bill are adequate. The method of aiding unemployment built into Wagner’s measure is far out of line with established Federal policy. | The Wagner bill sought to amplify Federal| assistance to our national system of employment | agencies—the very purpose the President has urged at times. Why was no effort made from White House to obtain a measure along this line| which could be approved? » Unless such a positive policy is shown at the | White House, unless the President offers a clearer program to replace the measures destined for his veto, the next session of the Congress will mean a new batch of rejected bills. And however merit-| orious e in vetoes may be, a large number of‘ them is unflattering comment on any Admin- | istration. an | PR IR e 18 o8 o5 According to the papers, a New legger trys out his stuff on a guinea pig. { taking on a shot, the guinea pig makes him climb he probably figures all is well.— Telegraph.)
