The ultra-reactionary newspapers cloak Hoover’s imperialism in a veil of “humanism” — for “supplying food” after the war. The Catholic Centrist organ, Germania, which fervently honed that its brother re- ligionist would win, says: i “Hoover, sovereign director of an economic system and brilliant or- panizer, assures dollar-making bet- ter than Smith. The political course f the United States for the next ‘our years is definitely fixed.” The Nationalist Lokalanzieger, leading in every move against the Twenty-nine of Porto Rico’s 76 municipalities were carried by the |Socialist-republican coalition, re- |turns indicated. | The coalition opposed the domi- nant Alianza party, which has been |in power in the island for 20 years. | The Alianza party has also lost| |several seats in the senate, while| |the coalition has increased _ its| | Strength in the legislature. | | The socialist coalition party is| \led by Santiago Iglesias, Latin sec- retary of the Pan-American Fed- eration of Labor, which has cloaked |the moves of American imperialism \in South America, and in every way has attempted to defend the native governments of reaction.

The Achtuhr Abendblatt in a long editorial says: “The 100 per cent Americans triumphed and dragged the immi- grants into their ranks. What will be the result? Among the support- ers of Hoover were Dawes, Edison and Mellon, secretary of the treas- ury....” PARIS, Nov. 8.—The reactionary French press is not tery elated over the clection of Hoover. There are too many points cf difference be- tween the United States and French imperialism, and while the British papers could gloss this over with polite language, the French are not quite as successful. Le Temps, conservative voico of Poincare, does not like the election of Hoover because it means the con- tinuation of Coolidge’s foreign [rs and they expect Hoover to be la hard bargainer in his protection and furtherance of American busi- ness. * The Journal des Debats says that there is every indication that Hoover wili follow Coolidge on the question of war debts and interference in the affairs of Latin America. After a long review of the life of Hoover, in which it is pointed out that, like Wil- son, he likes detective stories, the Journal says: “Coolidge was reproached with having chased gaicty and smiles out of the White House.

Morrow, American ambassador and former partner of J. P. Morgan ‘.& Co., seemed to be pleased at the election of Hoover. _ * * HAVANA, Nov. 8.—The Cuban government, a subsidiary of Ameri- can sugar capitalists, sent a mes- sage of congratulations to Herbert Hoover. : The Conservative Press was favor- able with the exception of La Prensa, which had the following to say: “The triumph of Herbert Hoover is cause nor watchful uncertainty to the Latin American countries,” the newspaper declared editorially. “fverything gives the impression that his foreign policy will be the It is scarcely | | connection between so-called pros- perity and the republican regime | was in the main responsible for the | republican victory, The Smith vic- tory in the textile sections and in | the large cities, such as Chicago and |New York, seem to bear out this general view. That the illusion of prosperity which the republicans and the big business interests are so carefully fostering will be severely shaken during the coming four years seems jcertain in view of the crises in the mining, the textile, the farm areas and among many other sections of |the working class. The process of “efficiency” capitalism which Hoover stands for, resulting*in an increasing disemployment of work- ers, as well as many other contra- Gictions, resulting from the very “prosperity” of American capital- ism, indicate that the course of Hoover’s promised “prosperity” regime wiil not be as smooth as the huge vote might lead one to sup- pose. | Hearst Is Defendant in Editor’s Libel Suit CHICAGO, Nov. 8.—The Chicago Herald-Examiner and William Ran- dolph Hearst were named defend- ents in a libel suit filed in Circuit Court here teday by Ernest Gruen- ing, former editor of the Portland | News, Portland, Maine.

U.S, PUPPET WINS SCIENTIFIC WORK OF (oar “RRA ; MOSCOW (By Mail).—In con-| |versation with representatives of the | | Soviet press, Professor Samoilovitch, chief of the polar expedition on the licebreaker “Krassin,” speaking on |the results of scientific work of the | expedition, said the following: “During the whole voyage of “Krassin” meteorological observa- | tions together with meteorological | summaries of European geophysical observatories sin” by radio were put as the basis of synoptical maps prepared during the journey. This work permitted to foresee the weather which was very important for the airplane’s work. In view of the fact that the state of ices in the polar region de- pends to a great extent on the wind the weather was very important for the ship herself. Scientific Observations. “The studying of hydraulogical state of waters in the north sea which was made during the voyage! is of highly serious scientific in-| terest.

Only when the Italians were safely taken | aboard, the geophysicist of the ex- pedition made four hydraulic ob- servations between the Charles Is- land and the Seven Islands group; afterwards four new observations | were made west of the group be-| tween these islands and the line going up north from the western shore of Spitzbergen. | “During the second voyage of “Krassin” a hydraulic observation was made from the Nord-Cape up to 81° 47’ northern latitude. Until then no hydraulic observations were ever carried out by anybody so far north in this region. “When “Krassin” left from this | point eastwards all the time on the) way the ship stopped to make ob- servations. Altogether 37 hydraulic observations were made. | “The voyage of ‘Krassin,’ which | draws 30 feet in water, was ex- tremely difficult without any infor-| mation concerning the navigation in is region. “No measurement of the depth was ever made here before. Now| when results of the measurement are put on the map the future ex- plorers will find their task much easier. Geological Researches. “When ‘Krassin’ was staying near the place where the airplane of} Chukhnovsky met with an accident | the geological party consisting of Professor Samoilovitch and his as- sistant Ivanov, carried out geologi-| eal investigations on the shore.)
