His ' place will be filled by an individual who j cannot possibly measure up to the deceased senator's eminence. ‘As late as January 30, Jouett Shouse, president of the Association Against the Proliibition Amendment, said that in all human probability the present congress would not submit a repeal resolution, but | in legs than three weeks, repeal was in the ! hands of the states for ratification. While ratif}éation will not be brought about so easily, it will come and sooner than most political prognosticators think. . eat meine i | | | | | | Signatures to petitions are easily ob- | tained, and once in Key West a man signed | a pelition for his owf execution. In Tem- | ple, Texas, 400 residents signed a petition # President-elect Roosevelt to appoint GuisPppi Zangara, his would-be assassin, to aleabinet post. The first part of the petition urged Roosevelt to cat govern- ment expenses, and few signers took the trouble to read further than the _ first paragraph. | AWFUL POSSIBILITIES Horrible as were some of the engines of death employed in the World War, they were probably far less destructive than those which might be brought into play in a future death struggle of nations. Prof. Leonard Hill, in his address as president before a London sanitary as- sociation, recently cited one possibility which is terrifying in its implications. He declared that a certain kind of germ which can be easily cultivated is so deadly that a spoonful suitably distributed could kill a million persons. This is not the first time such measures for the extermination of troops and non-combatants alike in the event of another great war have been hinted at. And there is little use to argue that such diabolical means, if developed, would not be used. Poison gas in warfare was condemned and agreements to avoid its employment were made long before the World War, but it was used with telling effect by both sides after the Germans resorted to it at Ypres in April 1915. Our own experts de- clare that chemical warfare will play a far more important role in any future war. And there is not the slightest doubt that disease germs would be likewise em- ployed if a practical method of doing so were developed. * With all these added horrors in pros- pect, it is little wonder that thoughtful persons everywhere are seeking to prevent another world tragedy, which might easily wipe out entire populations. Civilization must preserve peace, or perish by the in- struments of destruction which it has created. ers. FLOODING AMERICAN MARKETS Of late a great deal has been heard concerning countries which have gone off the gold standard and then, with the price advantage thus obtained, have flooded the American market with their products. Still higher tariff barriers have been demanded by many to prevent this sort of com- petition. The only trouble with that theory is that non-gold standard countries haven’t heen flooding our market. In 1932 our imports were valued at 37 per cent less than in 1931—while the average price de- cline during the year was only 11 per cent. The two principal countries which are off the gold standard—Japan and the United Kingdom—sold us goods valued at 35 per cent and 45 per cent less, _re- spectively. If the super-protectionists had their way, complete economic isolation for the United States would be the inevitable re- sult—and it’s pretty well demonstrated that any country trying to live remote and alone in the modern world, is doomed to perpetual distress. It is one thing to pro- tect American industries and workers from dangerous competition—another to ‘‘pro- tect” them from competition which doesn’t exist. A sizeable flow of commerce be- tween the great powers would be the most potent of all elements in obtaining and maintaining world stability. STOCKS AND BONDS Wall Street seems to have been slump- ing a bit during the last week or so, and this is no time to speculate. As far as resources are concerned, all the large corporations are much worse off today than they were a year ago, and as a consequence, their securities are worth much less. Their prospects may be brighter | than they were a year ago, but after all, they are only prospects and are subject to chance. The inauguration of Roosevelt and the change in administration may bring renewed hope to the country. This may be reflected in the stock market, but then again, it may not. The chances are that there will be a slight slump prior to the inauguration, a bit of a rise immediately after it, with another slump following. The time will soon be here to do a little purchasing, if there is any money left to do it with, but that time is not quite here. Good advice is to say out of the mar- ket for a little longer, or until something definite has occurred to justify the belief that business is on the mend. One of the four cardinal virtues is temperance, but how can one practice this virtue with prohibition which forces one to abstain without the redeeming feature of being temperate.

But there really ought to be no; quarrel with that procedure. Look | behind it. Cértdinly, after all, the | majority of voters in a congres- | sional district sent that individual | to congress. He is responsible to} them. They know it, as well as he. When he goes wrong on the “burn- ing issue.” they retire him. Thus, they attain a responsiveness to their will. The representative’s vain de- sire for vindication of his acts re- sults in exactly the thing for which the house was created, a proper re- flection of sectional and loeal view- points, a mélting pot from which emerges that thing which is called “the will of the people.” All of the above is by way of say- ing that the house is a highly sen- sitive body, politically. Receipt of mail from the home district over a | period of a week, mail that deals | with some particular question, has been known to change enough votes in the house to overthrow an appar- H ent strong majority.
