ALASKA CIKCULATION GUARANTEED T RGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER P1 THE The columnists of the Republican party attempted to interpret Governor Landon’s in- terpretation of the money plank in the Cleveland platform as a gracious gesture toward the man. nor was any necessary; he merely made in his daily column what amounted to a public apology. Then came the New York Journal of Commerce with some terse comment. It said “A ‘sound currency’ means a gold standard cur- rency to Alf M. Landon and he said so in no uncertain terms. This electrifying move on the part of Kansas governor turned a weasel-worded statement | of monetary policy into a forthright declaration. “This means, win or lose, the Landon campaign | will be conducted on the basis of a money plank no longer open to doubt. The Landon declaration about money, coupled with the party’s pledge interpretive he budget without new taxes and b: astic and immediate reduction in expenditu ts the G. O. P. platform in a conservative « Neither the credo nor the irged that the present currency un \nd their urgent call for an international ir- rencies utterly igucred the evidence I that currencies can only be stabilized in a vhich trade moves freely. That attitude, coupled with their insistence upon still higher tariff and also the col- lection of foreign debts, without permitting imports with which to pay them, constitutes unmistakably the most rigorous policy of economic isolation on record. Not even the most harrassed small country In Europe has ever produced its equal. What hope does this posture of the Grand Old Party convey to an American industrialist, within or without the so-called Liberty League? Our foreign trade slumped from $9,500,000,000 in 1929 to $3,100,- 000,000 in 1932, following the immediate reprisals of all governments against our higher tariff rates adopt- ed in 1930. These gentlemen know that the develop- ment of foreign trade depends entirely upon the re- moval of trade barriers, which the Roosevelt recipro- cal trade agreements are fast accomplishing. Although ironically enough the Cleveland platform denounced reciprocity in both its farm and tariff planks. The framers and the candidate disregarded the fact that such agreements were made with 10 foreign govern- ments under Republican’' administrations, without having been submitted to the Senate for ratification Mr. Hoover’s Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Lamont, recorded that the reduction of more than two-thirds of our foreign trade in less than three vears had in- creased factory unemployment more than 3,000,000, And yet in an almost overlooked telegram which Mr. Hoover sent to Cleveland, made public five hours before the receipt of Governor Landon’s message, the former president said: “The people cannot be re- turned to work and the farmers given a full market until conridence is restored. That can only be fully restored by a currency convertible in gold.” So Mr. Hoover, then in New York, and Governor Landon in Topeka were thinking along exactly the same lines. And the governor seems to have been easily “sold on gold” despite the fact that the United States was on the gold standard all the time we were losing the six and a half billions of our foreign trade and the 3,000,000 men were losing their jobs as & direct consequence. And too, the prices of all com- modities of the farmers, for whom Mr. Hoover de- manded—and got—the gold standard declaration, dropped to the lowest levels in the entire history of the country. Then Governor Landon stands for currency measured in gold, regardless of whether such cur- rency stable or not. “continuance of a permanently sound currency,” whose purchasing power and debt paying power is in the Democratic National Convention. the same. Behind the old gold standard screen, private in- terests managed the monetary system of the nation. Under the existing system, which Mr. have proclaimed when Great Britain went off gold standard in the fall of 1931, the government, do the managing.

With ordination as a min- ister his ambition, Dr. Cadman continued his studies while oth went away to enjoy vacations and easily accomplished his aim When he arrived in the United States, the young preacher had less than $100.

Conflicting Prophe%les (New York Times) General Dawes has assured Chairman Hamilton that the spirit of Republicanism this year reminds him of 1896, and the Chairman, having been “only a small boy at that time,” unquestioningly pas the glad tidings. But those who were not in knickers in 1896 are not the only ones who could remind Mr. Hamilton that, if this is true, his steady predictions of a 1936 landslide against the President, comparable to those against Alfred E. Smith in 1928 and Herbert Hoover in 1932, will have to be revised. For it requires only a glance at the almanacs to bring remembrance Lt that President McKinley’s victory in 1896 was a very narrow one indeed. That President’s popular majority over Bryan was less than 600,000 votes out of nearly 14 millions cast. In terms of electoral votes he had forty-seven more than a majority, but there is always a wide dis- proportion between electoral and popular votes. a candidate carries a State by a handful, the electoral | votes are his. Thus the disparity between Bryan's| popular and electoral vote can be traced to his losw of California by 2,000, of Indiana by 18,000, of lowaL by 6,000, and so on. Not until October, when alarm | over free silver had finally been impressed upon the populations of the large cities, did the Repubhcuns\ have any assurance of victory. It was a real horse race in 1896. But Mr. Hamilton has beén insisting for weeks— it seems like months—that 1936 is no contest at all.| According to him, Mr. Landon will carry the entire East and Middle West, cut into the South and lose | little beyond the Missouri. That doesn’t sound like 1896, even to General Dawes. The prophets, especi- ally when they quote each other, should stand on the | same basis if they expect people to believe them both. | The real truth is that nothing is sillier than these | predictions and comparisons, uttered at this time} with such an air of confidence. The young Republican Chairman seems to have embarked upon a course of | oratory and “statements” which will make Mr. Farley | appear a taciturn man. A party which, in its plat-| form and otherwise, insists that the campaign is a “holy crusade” should weigh its official utterances on a truer scale. And Mr. Hamilton might hereafter, before taking over a prophecy, look up the year used by the prophet for comparison to be certain it is in | | ine with his own forecast. | e - | Senator Bennett Clark (Kansas City Star) Congratulations to Senator Bennett Clark for | his successful fight to abrogate the two-thirds rule | All those iwho know Senator Clark’s devotion to his father's memory will appreciate the satisfaction he took ‘in {doing away with the rule that kept his father from the Democratic nomination and the Presidency in ‘That the Missouri Senator should have been | three and a half years.

Benefic aspects strongly domnate today, according to astrology. It is a time for making new social con- tacts and for laying the foundations for ‘future success. Newspapers and magazines are subject to the most favorable influ- ences which seem to indicate chang- es in management and ownership that affect many noted publica- tions. This should be a day fortunate for farmers who may profit be- cause of improved markst condi- tions and increased demands for large quantities of food. Many signs are discerned as in- dicating evil communications de- structive to political ambitions. Warning is given that gossip spok- en or printed may have serious re- sults at this time, for many ner- vous diseases are prognosticated and numerous sudden deaths are foretold. Warning is given that the star: ‘ncourage the uncovering of sec- rets of many varieties. sations are prophesied. Investiga- tors will be investigated and formers reformed. Astrologers who foresaw the vic tory of Mussolini in Africa predict powerful alliances. The ill health of King Victor Emanuel is fore- told as likely to cause historic edicts. Japan is under a direction of the stars which is believed to impart expanding ambition and great re- sourcefulness.
