A great deal is being made these days about a few | widely known men long identified with the Demo- cratie party who are turning from President Roosevelt | and some of the New Deal policies. In view of the | welcome that is'being given them by the Republican | party in building up its campaign against the pres-i ent leader, it is interesting to note that within the | G. O. P. ranks are equally well known men who view with a degree of satisfaction just as Al Smith, for | example, has viewed with alarm. Consider, for the moment, Gov. Frank F. Merriam of California, whose Republicanism is not questioned | and to whom Californians flocked when they feared | the theories of Upton Sinclair and his Epic. Gov. Merriam in an address on Washington's birthday de- clared President Roosevelt is “a man raised up by Almighty God to meet the country’s present crisis.” Continuing, he added: “History will show that Provi-| emergencies and will demonstrate, I think, that the man who now holds the Presidency was just the one to meet the situation.” He compared the Chief Execu- tive with Washington and Lincoln as “men ordained to see the country safely through its worst storms.” But that is in the broad-minded political west. Turn to New England, the admittedly Republican | stronghold. John H. Bartlett, former Republican Gov- ernor of New Hampshire and former first Assistant Postmaster General, whose party affiliation is firm as the rock-strewn coast of New England from thence he hails, said. |whole plan was an affront to Italy. “I must stand steadfastly for the re- | ity law to preclude our becoming involved in other people’s wars. While the national debt was increased seven and a half billion dollars, we value of all property under Roosevelt was increased many times that sum and imminent starva- tion was prevented. Under Mr. HodVer wne national debt was increased more unan tive billions, yet the ue of all property decreased many times that sum. This letter is enough to satisty my own conscience and that is the extent of my per- sonal responsibility. As time goes on President Roosevelt has the ability, qualities and the power of action which appeal to all the people regs less of their political faith Inflation then, we take it, is buying a dollar’s worth of beans but getting only two bits worth and | wondering what became of the 75 cents Charley Smith is revealing his football training at Washington.

Rathet, still fighting for the old touchdown General Hagood probably is begil the best army order of them all is ning to find out peal to the youth of all Europe (outside Italy), urging ! them to do everything within their power to prevent war. Its horrors and subsequent miseries he pictured in somber colors. utmost aversion. The Italian Dictator was never more eloquent or touching than in this call to young manhood not to be led into war by a blind following of older men in temporary control of their Govern- ments. Some time earlier Mussolini bad seized another oc- | casion to express his detestation of war. It was when the League of Nations was notified of the agreement of five countries to support each other were any one of them attacked by Italy. The five were Great Britain, France, Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia. When the news was published and fell under the eye of Mus- solini he was filled with grief and despondency. Here was another “menace” to the peace of Europe. War was much more probable since these five nations had agreed to do their best not to let one break out. The seems to be that she had no thought of attacking {Great Britain or France or any other isolated Power but that if the five combined it would be very hard for { him to resist the impulse to strike at once. Such are the temptations to which evem thorough-going pacitists | 4 | were in the interior, and compared | are subjected in this wicked world. Let no one say that the Italian Dictator condemns in others what he allows in himself, and that he has needlessly embarked upon a bloody war in Ethiopia He would explain that this is not a war at all. It is a rectification of frontiers. It is a work of purely do- | |mestic and colonial administration. The Italian youth | | who have lost their lives or been greviously maimed Jor made chronic invalids in the course of this peace- ful campaign have suffered, it is true, but have done |50 gladly and even joyfully. Young men in other parts |of Europe are not capable of this exalted discipline and | 1m.rxol.ism It is for that reason, no doubt, that Mus- (solini addressed to them his anguished warning anc appeal. If they disregard pleadings for peace coming from such a source, they will have sinned against the Not Yet A King. (New York Herald-Tribune) With so many kings and leading statesmen passing Nor is it surprising that he returned to his exile in Belgium without being any nearer to his desired throne. The reason can be found in a remark attributed Yugoslavia's opposition to the restoration of the Haps- burgs in Austria Yugoslavia would have to turn to! terly opposed to the restoration, it is clear that nothing can be done to help Otto for a number of years. | Practical political considerations will, of course, determine the ultimate fate of this last of the Haps- burgs. But it is strange to realize that against thess ]rorue is ever working, largely unseen and often even |unaided. This is the tradition of the divine right of kings. To the former Empress, mother of the Arch- duke Otto, the present status of her son as a pretender is merely temporary. She is said to be convinced regain it in time. Inasmuch as her belief is shared by many others, and the tradition of Hapsburg rule is election of President Roosevelt." Questioned further on such Republican polmca) heresy, the former New Hampshire chief executive, | wrote as follows: Some of the President’s experiments were not fully successful but he dared and tried and T positively believe revolution was averted by his quick and daring action. Here are some of the outstanding results of his experiments that are successful: Inaugurated oid age pensions, unemploy- ment insurance and other social justice re- forms which the Republican party neglected during its entire regime.

It is conceivable that if Ger- | |many were again to attempt to annex Austria v.he | Archduke might be made king by those forces seeking | to prevent the union with Germany. But so divergent | ;are the. conflicting interests that such a restoration {could be made only after a bitter poutical struggle for | i the control of eastern Europe.
