Gold- steln 1s considered to have a good chance for victory. ‘The Underhill district, the ninth, is giving the Republicans the greatest cause for worry, however, and the Underhill won two years ago by a scant 200 votes. The Republicans say that the situation is improving for Under- hill. Two years ago he was able to win against an Irish-American Democratic candidate, even though Al Smith's landslide in this State was on and David I. Walsh was winning by 125,000. This year the Democrats have nomi- nated .Youg_h J. Borgatti, of Italian ex- traction. ‘here is a large group of Italians in the district. But the Re- publicans figure that Underhill may have a better chance to win against Borgatti than sgainst an Irish-American Demo- crat. In all congressional districts save four, the Republican candidates for the House are drys and are so counted. In all the congressional districts the Demo- cratic nominees are wets. Brooks, the trict, is a wet, and 80 is Holmes in the fourth district. A. Platt Andrew, Re- publican Representative from the sixth district, has come out wet, and George Holden Tinkham, Républican in the eleventh district, has been one of the wettest of the wets for years. Tinkham has been re-elected over and over again in a district that is strongly Demo- cratic. His re-election this year is con- falled to make a personal campaign. But that has been his usual custom. 3 Some Face Real Fights. ‘The Republican candidates in several d;? the districts besides those mentioned are having real fights this ear. This is true of Representatives way, Dallinger and Martin. But they are expected to win in the end. Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, in the Low- ell district, is believed a sure winner despite the fact that she is opposed by a wet Democrat, Halloran.

By the Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, October 25.—Patrick J. Hurley, Secretary of War, agsalled the “muokrakers and paid liars hired for the sole purpose of vilifying the Presi- dent” in an address tonight in which he urged the election of Charles H.

By these means they try to destroy his leadership and prevent the success of his economic program.” ‘The Becretary of War declared the United States owes to President Hoover's leadership the tranquillity which he sald exists in country in the face of the world-wide economic depression. Prevented Rioting. “National business leaders called into conference after the stock market col- lapse have said that it is due to Her- bert Hoover alone that we have not witnessed such rioting and bloodshed as followed in the wake of the panic of 1896.” Mr. Hurley continued, adding that “half of the world was either in open or incipient revolution.” “In all the great crises of the past 16 years the Nation has turmed to Mr. Hoover,” he said, outlining briefly the President's services since 1914, when he was called on to organize relief for the starving women and children of warring Europe, to the Mississippi flood relief 1mm and the present economic Leaders Meeting Problem. “Our President, our Government, our business, labor and agricultural leaders are meeting the problems forced upon us with intelligence and courage.” Sec- retary Hurley continued, “By agree- ments brought about by our President our scale of wages is being maintained throughout the country. In every other depression they have been reduced. gIn every other country they are be\nl.n duced now. “The steady pressure of the Presi- dent’s policies has averted disaster. “The vast majority of the people are supporting his economic program,” Mr. Hurley concluded. “His splendid lead- ership cannot be destroyed by false propaganda of hirelings.” ‘The Secretary made a strong appeal for the election of Mr. Tuttle and the rest of the State Republican ticket, particularly for the re-election of Ruth Pratt to Congress from the seventeenth district.

U. 8. POLICY UNCHANGED. Brasilian Upset to Be Met as Others in Latin America. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Revolution throughout four-fifths of the southern hemisphere, as the after- math of President Hoover's good will tour of Latin America, fllls offcial ‘Washington with profound regret, but will not alter the fundamental pol of the United States. This Government, it can be stated on high authority, will continue to accord recognition to revolutionary regimes on three conditions: (1) their ability to safeguard life, property and order within their own territory; (2) satisfac- tory evidence that there is general ac- quiescence in and support of the new | government by the people; and (3) demonstration, as well as profession, of the government's intention to live up to all its international obligatipns. ‘This s the attitude taken by the United States toward Bolivia, Peru and Argentina, in the order named. It wil be adhered to in the case of Brazil. If the revolutionary epidemic should spread to the rest of South America, same policy will prevail. There is no inclination in Adminis- tration quarters to disguise this Gov- emnment’s disappointment over the breakdown of democracy in South America. Mr. Hoover and his traveling companions returned from there a year and a half ago convinced that concej tions of popular government, as N Americans understood it, were fairly rooted, especially in the A-B-C fepub- lics. Yet two of these within a month— Argentina and Brazil—have overturned their governments by revolution. Want to Be Helpful. ‘Washington is now reluctantly com- pelled to conclude that, politically, South America has not yet “grown up” as much as the United States thought, it had. It plain that patience on our part required, coupled with such helpfulness as the situation from time to time warrants and as our Latin neighbors seem willing to accept. With patience and helpfulness, Washington authorities bracket steadiness as one of the needs of the hour. No one in au- thority is disposed to look upon South America as & hopeless mess. ‘The incident suddenly thrown up by | the firing upon the Hamburg-American liner Baden in Rio de Janeiro Harbor has undoubtedly serious aspects, but ‘Washington does not believe the United States will be drawn into the affair. The State Department’s first-blush im- pression of the episode, when it came unofficially to its attention yesterday, was that the junta in provisional con- trol at Rio did not apparently have things under such firm control as they perhaps thought. Little doubt is ex- pressed that the Brazilian authorities eventually will make proper reparation to Germany, if lives were taken or property destroyed without warrant. ny has figured in our Latin American affairs more than once. The most famous occasion was Kaiser Wil- helm's dla‘l?atch of & squadron of war- ships to Venezuelan waters to enforce collection of a German claim. It only required a firm note from Secretary of State John Hay and unmistakable American naval moves threatened by President Roosevelt to dissuade Berlin from any purposes which might have brought Germany into prompt confiict with the Monroe Doctrine. Haitian Incident Recalled. On another occasion the Germans were cohsidering the seizure of a Hai- tian customs house by some of thelr warships in settlement of obligations owing to German subjects. Then. too, oppositional measures by the United States induced Berlin to change its mind. President Grover Cleveland's celebrated clash with the Marquis of Salisbury over a projected forcible Brit- ish adjudication of a Venezuelan bound- ary question is well remembered. The Hoover administration is just as “Monroe Doctrine minded” as any of its predecessors. It would brook no in- fringement of the doctrine which con- sisted of anything savoring of a - manent lodgment on Latin American soll by a foreign force or government. depends on what kind of tervention” in Western Hemisphere affairs might be ventured by a Euro- pean or Asiatic power.

The United States has not yet had to meet, in connection with this year's South American unrest, any demand by other powers that they be allowed to wade in and protect their own interests in Latin countries. Great Britain has enormous investments in both Argen- tina and Brazil. France is heavily en- gaged, t0o, and Germany and Italy to @ lesser extent. Now and then the sug- gestion emanates from various quarters that if the United States ‘eternslly American country go to extremes in protection of its rights in this hemis- phere, Uncle Sam himself must afford such protection.

The preference is to let foreign countries resort to reasonable and legitimate steps of their own, Mexican and Nicaraguan troubles of the past 15 or 20 years, various European countries have been represented in Central American waters by war ships and troops ready for ocer- tain eventualities. ‘Washington's sensibilities are very strong on what Secretary S calls the “Isthmian Doctrine,” as guished from the Monroe Doctrine. By the “Isthmian Doctrine,” Col. Stimson means the interests directly involved in the protection of the Panama Canal. Since President Hayes' days the Canal (though at that time only a project) has been recognized at the State De- partment as a part of the seacoast of the United Btates. Any menance to it would be held to be just as serious as if it were the Atlantic or Pacific | seaboard of the United States that was involved. The administration feels no remorse over the fact that the revolutionists in Brazil, to whom the United States last week denied the right to obtain Ameri- can arms, have now obtained the upper hand. The embargo was in accord with long-established international right and American custom. Several years ago nearly all the governments in the world signed a treaty to forbid sale of arms to revolutionists, though only & few of the signatories ratified the pact. Ameri- ca’c willingness to let the late federal vernment at Rio de Janeiro buy accord with international practice. (Copyright, 1930.) U. 8. POLICY RESENTED.

BERLIN, October 26 (#).—The Vos- siche Zeitung's correspondent at Rio de Janeiro reports that 37 persons, includ- ing 18 women, were killed in the shell- ing by a rebel batt yesterday of the German steamship len, which was trying to leave Rio Harbor. Four of the Baden's crew were among the dead. the gteamship aroused German editorial opinion today to de- mand that a promised Braszilian investi- gation be thorough. It is felt here that the action of Brazilian gunners in the Fortress Capacabana who fired the shot is al- most incomprehensible, although it is said in some quarters that Brazilian political figures were abroad at the time, fleeing from the military coup d'etat which overthrew the government of President Wlshlnfmn Luls. ‘The demand for an investigation stresses the fact that the truth should be brought out not only as far as Ger- many is concerned, but in the interest of Spanish citisens, who had chosen a German ship to mw their homeland and had perished before reaching it. ‘While some commentators assume that the nervousness of a new fortress commander may have been responsible, or new and ill trained crews may have been at the guns, it is held that the large number of casualties calls for punishment of the guilty. The Baden, outward bound for Ham- burg, is a vessel of 8,800 tons. It origi- nally was intended for the New York service.

Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, October 25.—The over- throw of the regime of President Wash- ington Luis in Rio de Janeiro is not of the “outs” revolting "—our habitual concep- tion of Latin American political dis- orders. It has a far deeper signifi- cance. It may mean the dissolution of the United States of Brazil into three or more separate republics, That is a pos- sibility, even a remote probability. There is a feeling, which is just beginning to rise to the surface, that such a break-up is not only desirable but inevitable, and it underlies this revolution, even if other motives for the outbreak are more apparent. In sny event the scene in Rio now means that there has been a definite decentralization of power and that the destiny of the great republic falls into the hands of at least three groups are considerably at variance. Revolt Was Foreshadowed. In Rio last Summer the writer felt this undercurrent of feeling and, in whispers behind Brazilians explained it to me. They were thoughtful, worried. , The inciplent revolt in Parahyba was’being fought at the time, and silent crowds stood in front of the newspaper offices on the Avenida Rio Branco, intently reading the dispatches. It seemed impossible that something sinister was in the hot- scented air, and that clouds were to obscure the face of Rio’s blue bay. Brazilian observers then saw in the little revolt in the north the portents of what now has come. For the last six years the real revolution has been smoldering, the spark kept alive by, in | particular, political leaders of the southernmost state of Rio Grande Do Eru‘li They pmn’u;;fd’:ge r;bel\km sev. years ago of the leral garrison at Fort Copacabana in Rio. Loyalist troops quickly put down that revolt, but it broke out again in Sao Paulo. It was again put down after the federals began to bombard Sao Paulo and the revolutionary leaders fell back—to begin sowing the seeds of the present more successful outbreak.

Asks Proof of Stability of Regime, as Was Done in Other Revolts. By the Assoclated Press. Definite information from the Ameri- can embassy in Rio de Janeiro as %o the status of the new regime in Brazil and the conditions under which it came into power was awaited by State De- partment officials last night as the problem of American recognition drew | nearer. The first statement on the question of recognition of the new regime was made by Secretary Stimson yesterday, when he said the same policy would be followed with Brazil as was followed re- cently when new administrations were set up by revolts in Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. The information which the State De- partment must have before a definite decision can be reached regarding the new regime is whether the new govern- ment is in control of the situation and capable of protecting life, liberty and property, if the regime is backed by public sentiment and if it can fulfill the obligations of & national government. Course In Past Cited. Recognition was accorded the three other countries by the State D?m- ment recently when it was satisfled the new governments met these condidtions. Until the full facts are known, how- ever, Stimson said, discussions of recog- nition by the American Government are premature. He sald the question has not been mentioned in communi- cations between the Rio embassy and the State Department.
