NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Blde., Seattle, Wa GRAND OLD MAN For the first time in nearly 50 years, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, grand old man of Congres: was absent when Democrats met in national conven- tion in Chicago last week. = The 86-year-old Senator had attended avery tfixadrennm meeting of his party since 1896. He issed this one because he was confined to bed in his Washington hotel by illness. Glass probably wasn't missed by many. He was @ vigorous*opponent of a third term for Roosevelt WHeR He left his sickbed four years ago to attend the Chicago Demo convention to nominate his close friend —James A. Farley—for the Presidency. He would have opposed the Fourth Term just as vigorously. After the 1940 convention had ended, Glass said he felt “in duty bound” to support FDR although he still was opposed to a third term for any President. Eight years ago at Philadelphia when Roosevelt was fiominated for a second term, Glass’ opposition to many New Deal policies made him a prominent figure at the convention. The always colorful figure left the convention after its first session that year, but when the rumor spread that he had taken a walkout with Al Smith and others he returned to make a show of his colors. The_ Philadelphia convention marked the end of 40 years of service by the Virginian statesman on the | riers to domestic business it continues to insist upon ~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1944 natiopal platform committee. He surrendered the post ‘nd denied that she surrender meant he was “walking or bolting.” Mr. Landon on Tariffs (New York Times) Recently in Chicago Alf M. Landon made a cour- ageous appeal to his fellow-Republicans to revise their traditional attitude on the tariff. “No territorial re- distribution of the world,” he declared, “can equalize opportunities for all nations. But we can make the differences less irritating and burdensome by, facilitat- ing international trade. That not only means lower tariffs, but also it means that as soon as possible all governments abandon artificial control of currencies and exchange, quota restrictions and 'imperial prefer- ence.' Our position as the world’s leading creditor nation—the world’s leading manufacturing nation—the world’s leading merchant marine nation, make it im- perative that we change our tariff policies.” This is not the first time that the 1936 Re- publican nominee for the Presidency has announced this stand. In a speech at Kirksville, Mo, three months ago he pointed out that “international trade |15 a two-way street that can’t be blocked at either !end without creating a traffic jam. » * = The assump- tion that a continued high tariff system in America would bring prosperity to our people is wrong.” He went on to declare that a protective tariff system was| justified when our industrial system was in its “in- fancy,” but that today it has become “a colossus hungry for world markets. * * * The world is just simply going to have to move in the direction of a gradual increase of the freedom and ease of inter- I national trade if national or personal prosperity free- dom and honest good-will are to prevail.” It is earnestly to be hoped that other Republican | leaders will recognize the wisdom of these policies and embody them in this year’s Republican platform. Just as political and economic isolationism go together, so political and economic international cooperation go together. The greatest single step that the world could take toward intermational collaboration in the economic field would be to remove all arbitrary | barriers to the free flow of trade. The Republican | party will only put itself in a self-contradictory posi- tion if at the same time it objects to arbitrary bar- | arbitrary barriers to foreign business. It cannot con- sistently plead for free enterprise in the domestic field | while insisting on barriers to such enterprise in the | | foreign field. No doubt there are many Republican leaders who will object to making the change that Mr. Landon advocates in the party’s traditional tariff policy. There is in any great organization an immense resistance to changing a long-standing policy even after the| | original excuse or justification for it has ceased. But; such a change could hardly, at this time, be called a | radical one for the party to make, As long ago as| 1901 Presidant McKinley advocated commercial re- ciprocity among nations, “A system which provides a mutual exchange of commodities,” he said, “is mani- | b JULY 29 Horace Adams Mrs. Edw.

"Ed" Flynn, meeting Hanne- gan emerging from the Blackstone Hotel, told him that New York couldn’t take Byrnes for Vice Presi- dent, that Byrnes would alienate the decisive Negro vote. Sidney Hillman and Phil Murray of the CIO also had told Hannegan that labor was thumbs-down on Byrnes. At Hannegan's suggestion, they went to Byrnes himself and, in less blunt language, told him the same thing. Byrnes,. always unselfish where the President's wishes are con- cerned, withdrew. FINAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM FDR This left as the chief Vice Presi- dential contenders—Senator Bark- ley of Kentucky, Senator Truman of Missouri, and Vice President Wallace himself. Justice Douglas, as the conven- tion opened, had been mentioned in the secret Roosevelt letter to Han- negan, but he had developed almost no popular support. At that time, of course, no one except insiders knew about the White House letter. Howevgr, the convention began to hear whispers about the letter al- most the day the convention open- ed, July 19. That also was the day that Flynn, Hannegan, Kelly and Hague got their final mstruclmns‘ to go for*Truman.
