Start of the Quadrenniel White House Race Finds Both Parties in a Dilemma, with Economic Con- ditions Creating Doubt, But Decidedly Favoring the “Outs” to Win. | (By SCOTT C. BONE.) Within a month the country will be in the throes of a quadrennial National campaign The outlook is ‘\ disquieting to the two old parties alike. Both f‘x'", in a dilemma. Herbert Hoover has been bearing | the brunt of blame for the depression for three weary years; now, a Democratic Congress Is sharing} the burden with him and the outcome at the polls is charged with uncertainty and potent with fears, | which will become more acute as the summer and autumn come and pass and the Ides of Novembrr‘ appear. Not since the Nineties, has the gr-nvral‘ situation been so admittedly demoralizing and laden} the budget is the basis of this onslaught. But, Con- necsssity under this Republic and its are quite understandable..

Jm Reed will not be the next President of the United States. But if more Americans were from Missouri, they would be giving heed to his philoso- phies and theories of government eschewing his “wetness,” and would profit thereby. There is Jeffersonian statesmanship, not mere language, in much that he has to say. He scorns the thought that this country needs a Mussolini or can ever hrive upon buraeucracy or paternalism. How old- fashioned! Former Attornsy-General Wickersham, Chairman of the famous Wickersham Commission on Law Ob- servance and Enforcement, whose report caused a | good deal to the confusion of those who were interested to determine just what it thought ought to be done with Prohibition, is now strongly in favor of submitting the question to the American people | again with trouble to the Ins and Outs.

Between Canada and U (Miami, Fla. News.) The boundary line between the United States and Canada, including that between British Colum- and Alaska, is 5500 miles long.

The “drys” themselves are less militant than| formerly. Some of them, as well as many states- | men, who, a year ago, would not give the “wets” an inch, are now assenting to a proposed referen- dum. Continued failure to enforce the law and the spectacle of crime running rampant everywhere have contrived to render the experiment unpopular and put its champions on the defensive. The East and New England and the Central West are ir-| revocably hostile and in countless cases have chosen | delegates to the convention who will stand adamant- | 1y for re-submission, if not outright appeal. Either horn of the dilemma will alienate a large element of the electorate and endanger the result. A dodg- ing of the issue is impossible and would only intensify the hazard. The Democrats are in a dilemma over a candi- date and almost likewise harrassed. Avowedly wet, | the platform is not seriously disturbing them.

Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, long somewhat non-com- mittal, finally aligned himself with the “wets,” and | all the other candidates, prospective or receptive, | save Governor White of Ohio, are in sympathy with the demand for modification or repeal. The Solid South was broken in 1928 on this issue, re- fusing to folow Governor Alfred E. Smith, but is believed to be fairly sure to remain in line this year, regardless of nominee or any plank in the platform. Governor Roosevelt's candidacy was given a dis- astrous blow, almost a quietus, in California, on the third instant. Until then, prophecy was giving him he nomination on the first ballot. Garner's spectacular triumph upset all Democratic calculations. By common agreement, in spite of his pronounced jead, the New Yorker will be far short of a two- thirds majority in the convention. Smith will have the bulk of the Empire State delegation and prob- ably the most of the votes from Pennsylvania.

Where the line traverses water, up- wards of 2500 reference marks, unnoticed by the casual observer, but nonetheless definite and accur- ate, enable the engineer to sight it. Nowhere else in the world along a boundary of such length is there comparable lack of fortifica- tions and armament. No guns bristle along its many miles, no fortresses are reared. But walls of another sort have recently gone up—tariff walls, invisible as the boundary line and equally mean- ingful. We built a barrier against Canadian goods, Canada retaliated with similar obstructions to trade. The national next-door neighbors who have existed so amicably without a separating fence find them- selves economically in a less happy situation. The Liberal Ministers. (Manchester Guardian.) Sir Herbert Samuel has issued a statement which in fact, though not avowedly, a reply to Mr. Lloyd George's recent speech. Sir Herbert contend- ed that the withdrawal of the Liberal Ministers from the Government would injure the national interests and would do nothing to advance Free Trade and The financial position of th2 country was steadily being consolidated. Our prob- lems at present were more international than domes- tic. Disarmament, war debts and reparations, India, Ireland—these were among the questions facing the country. To change the character of the Govern- ment now, to make it a Government of one party, could not fail to lessen the power and authority of Britain in dealing with them. This is the main line of Sir Herbert Samuel's argument. He adds a note on the effect of the present Parliamentary situation upon party prospects. He assures Liberals that he and his colleagues have no intention of following the example of the Liberal Unionis of 1886 and becoming absorbed in the Conservative Party. He recognizes the importance of “safeguarding the fu- ture of Liberalism.” It would be no advantage to the nation, he says, if our politics were to take |such a course that the only alternative to a Con- servative Administration was one involving Social- ism. | As for the lesson of Al Capone’s end, it is obvious.
