The tone of that Republican “Grass Roots” con- vention ‘down in Springfield, Il., would indicate that what was once the Grand Old Party is not to! be a party of constructive thinking in 1936 but one |'™ of destructive propaganda. The widely heralded |57 affair opens with an 18-point attack on President 1 wouldn't. giye you:s. drink of waier Roosevelt and then simmers down to who will be A “G-man” almost snarled that answer to John H. Dreher, gentle, gray-haired veteran the “lightening rod” to carry on the harangue. The main declaration of principle seems to be a pledge to the constitution which, of course, is just an- other way of attempting to imply the Democrats are no longer for it. The only conclusions that can be drawn then is that the Gra Rooters want to| swing back to policies that sent us crashing into economic chaos during the Hoovér regime. There is a lot of difference between constructive criticism and just plain fault-finding, and it appears that the Grass Rooters are going to adopt the latter course. Not one thought esmanates from the Spring- field convention that might be interpreted as progressive move intended to better the welfare of people of the nation. Rather the Republlcan} carnival turns out to be a Democratic fault-finding | field da and an effort to determine which many possible 1936 candidates can make the most | noise in carrying out the scheme. That will be the| preblem the G. O. P. will have to solve a of because in its reactionary ranks it has some mighty noisy and adept f rs and it will be hard to figure out who ca the loudest in hnhm? of a lost cause. | Until the minority party leaders figure cut yomt‘-“ thing other than the revolting thought of returning to a Hoover policy th ote: f th arty is 0 g e potentcy of the party IS .. piovince of Chabar. Some experts might figure going to stay about on par with what it has been . cut how many spring campaigns multiplied by | in the last two years. Young James Roosevelt,| J 3 bith WAl 16 talie” rt OHMR CAN s.‘ son of the President, probably had the Gras (s iag M X | Rooters tabbed about right when he said the Re- publican Party is dead and the Springfield con- vention is looking for the body. ALASKANS STILL AVAILABLE. Over in Matanuska a oup of the California transient workers tired cf theéir duties of helping | the settlers get started on their new colonization | project and moved in on the city of Anchorage, broke, but some of them desiring to stay in the country and seek work elsewhere. Anchorage proper-| ly vetoed the idea and said they would be dis-! patched to the States via the North Star just asj they came. The Anchorage authorities announced there were many residents of their own city idle and there was no room for further unemployed. In the meantime, until they can be placed aboard ship, the city is providing food and lodging. | It is only fair to explain that it is some of lhe transient workers who were to be returned to lhe! States in the fall when preliminary work was com- | pleted that walked off their jobs and not the| actual colonists. They are a contingent of the men that California FERA authorities dispatched to the project with great blare of trumpets some few | weeks ago, implying to the entire world that Cali-| fornia was establishing the Matanuska project. It is further only fair to mention that at the uime Alaske officials pointed out the Territory, too, had an unemployed problem and that there were Alaskan residents who could be obtained, although it was explained that would not be possible to get in it ““the Territory an adequate supply of skilled men at “the wages which were being paid the transient workers. So the California transients were moved into the North with the accompanying écho of press! statements from California FERA chiefs that every-| thing was just a bowl of cherries. Since that time authority has been delegated to a greater degree to the Alaska Rural Rehabili-| tation Corporation. Just why the California boys decided to quit hasn't to date been revealed and it probably makes no great amount of difference, so long as they are returned to California from whence they came as quickly as possible so that Anchorage will not be unduly burdened. There are plenty of men in Alaska looking for work, and undoubtedly it will require no great effort to get them, if needed, for Matanuska. JOHNNY DREHER'S “BIG SC0OOP.” Many oldtime newspaper men undoubtedly felt police reporters, singlehanded staged the biggest news “scoop” in years. He was the only one, out of about seven- ty-five newspaper men from all parts of the country, to interview George. And he inter- viewed him lying on the floor of a speed- ing taxicab with the boy, so rival reporters would not discover his find. And after he had delivered the boy to the home cf his parents, where the door was slammed in his face, Mr. Dreher panted up to his hotel suite fitted up as a branch news room of The Seattle Times and began writing.

Meantime they’ll be getting out of the neighborhood.” Some of his young colleagues grinned be- hind his back. But it happened that way. ' Mr. Dreher heard this morning that a farmer had called in and said he had found George Weyerhaeuser up Issaquah way in the woods. He “just grabbed myself a taxi and started out to meet that farmer's car,” the reporter declared. i Asked for a statement, he said: “Next year I'll be 60; I'll have been | married twenty-five years, on The Times thirty and in the newspaper business forty years.” The Seattle the Times, modestly reporting | o | g, “G-Men Change Tune, Beg Reporter for News,” { of The Seattle Times staff in Tacoma the other day, when Dreher asked some question about the Weyerhaeuser kidnaping.

(New York Times.) | John Henry House, who was born ninety years | ago today, is celebrating his birthday at the Amer- ican Farm School which he founded thirty years ago just outside of Salonika. He went to the Bal- kans as a young man, learned to speak Bulgarian land Turkish and was the first educator to attack the Macedonian problem from the point of view of the “subsistence farmer.” If the gods still occu- pied the heights of Olympus they would see agri- culture carried on with modern machinery and (with more ample returns than those of the ancient | {Greek peasant who came with his offering to De- meter, saying: Not many furrows on my scanty land, Nor is my spring of water grand; Little for little counts, but give me more, Good spirit, and I promise you great store.

This should mean much to Greece, two-thirds of whose six and one- | half millions live on small tracts of must be farmed intensively to yield a living.
