And in all of the greater world- girdling United States—from Alaska to the Philippines, from Hawaii to Porto Rico, in Orienta! as well as Occidental America—there is no other adequately developed community than the District in respect to which Congress has net the power to grant national representa- tion. Not only has the Union of States {not Americanized the District, but it has not (we are told) so worded the Constitution as to empower Congress |in its discretion to Americanize this marooned and politically alien com- munity. Congress can, if it will, Americanize the Alaskan, the Hawaifan, the Porto Rican and the Filipino: but Congress may not. we are told, without con- stitutional amendment, Americanize the Washingtonian.

It is a government of all the people by a part of the people. The half million District residents are among the people who are governed. | but not among the people who govern The half million Americans of the | District do not give their consent to | their National Government through | elected representatives in accordance | with American principles like all other Americans of the continental and con- tiguous United States.

McCALLUM. Herbert Hoover does not intend to resign his cabinet post as Secretary of Commerce in order to push his passive | candidacy for the Republican presiden- | tial nomination. He will continue his public service in his department at least until the time of the Republican na- | tional convention, and possibly beyond that time. The positive declaration that Mr. Hoover has no intention of resigning from the cabinet at this time came to- day from a source close to the Secre- tary of Commerce, and was interpreted as meaning that even though Mr. Hoovers' friends are working assiduously toward lining up delegates in his be- | half, he himself is not yet ready to openly announce his candidacy. Mean- while, the Hoover-for-President move- ment, under the also Emu chieftain- ship of Secretary of Interior Work, is gaining momentum.
