Neither the remote position of the Philip- | pine Islands nor the character of their popu- lation makes a plot to cut them adrift at the instigation of an alien monopoly—the Cuban sugar lobby—one whit less reprehensible than would be an effort in Congress to sell Alaska back to Russia, or to give Hawaii to Japan.

No ‘demand for a dry plank in the Republican State platform will be made by the Anti-Saloon League, according to B. N. Hicks, State Superin- tendent. Doubtlass the same degree of restraint will be shown with respect to the Democratic State platform. There's a reason. The last previous i platforms of both parties in this State were sop- 'ping wet, and up to.date the indications of desire to recant are not impressive. But the Anti-Saloon League, it is announced, will none the less resist inclusion of forthright wet declarations in this year's platforms. This is prob- lably intended as a means of effecting a compromise {in platform silence on the Prohibition issue. And since this is the year when the State elects a Senator, a flock of Representatives, a Governor, other State officers and a Legislature, who knows but silence would be very welcome in many quarters? HARSH AND EXTRAVAGANT LANGUAGE. Writing of the passage by Congress of the bill granting independence to the Philippine Islands in 1940, the New York Herald-Tribune said: It is part of a conspiracy that is at once outrageous and contemptible. The object of this whole maneuver is to swindle the Ameri- can people out of a great and enormously valuable area of the public domain before they are aware of what is at stake. The motives be- hind it are ignorant, sordid or cowardly in the case of every sponsor of the measure. The means that are being employed in an attempt 1 to pull down the flag on territory of which the American people are the only legal proprietors is unconstitutional; and, since every Congress- man knows that is so, every Congressman who Dwindling Births Peril Germany’s Status in World 1930 this total had shrunk to 1,126,- 800. That meant only 67 visits of the stork per thousand. The only bright spots in the statistics are a decrease in infant mortality and the absence of epi- demios. San Francisco borrowed from the Spanish vocabu- ',lnry in naming its waterfront street the Embar- jcaderb. The name Bund, bestowed or quays in IChina and Japan, was derived from the Hindi.
