Al- fred Landon recommended that Kansas prepare to join any secur- ity system as “may ultimately be- come a settled law upon this ques- tion.” Gov. Landon expressed this view today in a joint special session of the Legislature at ‘a meeting de- signed to secure greater participa- tion in the major phases of the Federal Social Security Law. He urged that an amendment or amendments be submitted to the electorate in November enabling the Legislature to pass laws providing for necessary social security, wheth- er under the New Deal or the Re- publican platform, calling for a pay-as-you-go social security with direct States taxes augmented by Federal funds. ————— — CLARENCE RHODE GETS PROMOTION Deputy Game Warden Clarence Rhode of the Alaska Game Commis- sion has been promoted to full War- den and Acting Assistant Executive Officer of the Commission, it was announced today by Frank Dufresne Executive Officer.

As the funds of the farm prod- ucts export corporations in the Balkans are meager, no advance could be given to the farmers, and consequently there is great unrest in many rural districts. Protests from the Balkan States’ own industrialists and political pro- paganda against Germany added to the disquietude in financial circles and ameng the peasants and mer- chants of southern Europe. Schact On Pact Mission | Germany, fearing that it may lose political prestige and trade in the Balkans, has therefore decided to start negotiations for new trade agreements with these countries, Dr. Hjalmur Schacht, the German financial wizard, recently visited some Balkan countries for this pur- pose. In Yugoslav diplomatic circles it was said Germany now seeks to {take advantage of the present de- sire in the Balkans for more arma- ments and that Reichsfuehrer Hit- ler is willing to pay old debts with outmoded planes and munitions. But under the proposed new trade and political agreements, Germany is said to be ready to exchange al- most any amount of modern tanks, artillery, airplanes and the like, for 300 pounds of express.

Lacking or- |ganization, can he count on his own campaigning and the radio (voice of Father Coughlin to sub- stitute for it? THIRD PARTIES IN HISTORY In only about three instances in {history has a third party been |credited with changing the out- |come of an election. In 1844 James |G. Birney ran as a Free Soil or rected Roosevelt'’s pre -convention | campaign but refused to bolt {Liberty candidate and pulled enough votes away from Henr, Clay, a Whig, to lose him New York. Clay’s loss of New York gave | James K. Polk the Presidency. The closeness of the race is indicated by the fact Polk received only a| 38,175 popular plurality. In 1884 history records much the same circumstances. John P. St.| John, a Progressive, took enough votes way from James G. Blaine lto throw New York and the Presi- |dency to Grover Cleveland. In 1912 the split in the Repub- lican Party with the bolt of Theo- | is credited vulh; (Comlnue(lfion Page Three) is emphasized as much as anything ! flection. perhaps by a comparison with the old figures.” While a bare aovzen years is a veritable tick-tock to the revolving hand of Tistory, yet in the life of a political figure it is a long time. The Cleveland convention may have seen the beginning of the final chapters of the political bio- graphies of two ranking American figures—Borah and Hoover. Dovetailing with that history, but continuing on into what may prove an utterly new era (those words have been used in other places) are the beginning chapters of new political careers — short or long though they may prove to be. DATES TELL STORY Specifically, these dates help mark the change: When Governor Landon, the new leader of Republicanism, stepped off the campus of the University of Kansas, a graduate, in 1908— Herbert Hoover was in Asia, Aus- tralia, England, Africa, an engineer of mounting international fame. William E. Borah was begin his meteoric rise in the Senate after a profitable career in law. When Landon, as a young man of 24, gave his youthful enthusiasm to the Theodore Roosevelt bolt in 1912— Hoovers eminence as an engineer and promoter had reached new levels.

The normal balance between lthe two great parties is so small, figured down to a percentage basis, that every defection must be a mat- ter of interest, if not concern. | So the first task of the Repub- lican and Democratic high com- mands will be to inform themselves as fully as they can just what the | new Union Party may hope for,| {and in what States; how much the | walk of Al Smith and associates means in the cold arithmetic of total votes; and whether, in each |case, there may not be an offset| {of gain due to reaction among those who do not like the bolters | Very often in the past, party organizations have fed on opposi- | tion.
