NEW PARTIES PROPOSED (Bradenton Herald) A Washington publisher recently | called for the formation of a new political j party in the United States, with opposition to the general trend of the “new deal’ as its main platform plank. | Such a party he says, might be called | “The Constitution Democratic party,” and would replace thé existing G. O. P., The present democratic party he would re- name “The Socialist Democratic party.” The reshuffling he advocates thus would give us two new national parties to take the place of the ones we have. It has been one of the axioms of American politics for a good many years that there is little real difference between the two major parties. It has been equally clear that neither has been homogeneous, | and that each one contains sizable groups out of harmony with the majority opinion | of their fellows. To put through a general shifting of personnel and principles that would give us two big parties, each one. more or less united from top to bottom, based on widely different conceptions of the function of j government in the modern world, might be an exceedingly healthy development. It is hard to escape the feeling that the actual trend of things today is in that direction. - We have the “western progressives” in the republican party, who are far closer to the administration than they are to such leaders iri their own party as Mr. Hoover or Mr. Mills. On the other hand, it is obvious that men like Senator Glass and ex-Governer Smith are not exactly the same kind of | democrats as President Roosevglt. Continuance of this trend can do one | of two things. It can give us two new major parties to replace the old ones, or it | can split both parties and give us a group of half a dozen or more bloes, creating a condition in which no administration ever could have a majority in congress and in which compromise and a multiplicity of “deals” would be the order, The recent experience of France is} enough argument against the latter pos- sibility. A republican government works best on a straight two-party system, with the two parties diametrically opposed, as a matter of principle, on major issues. HOW’S YOUR GEOGRAPHY Few of us know much about geo- ‘graphy, except in a most vague way, and this being the case a little inquiry into the latitude and longitude of various places often reveals facts which are somewhat surprising, as a few examples may illus- trate. We think of “sunny Italy” as a warm, southern country, yet Rome and Chicago are in exactly the same latitude. Other pairs of places of equal latitude are Paris and Quebec; Berlin and Attu Island, Alaska; New York and Istanbul (Con- stantinople) ; Florence, Italy, and Toronto, Canada. Venice, famed for its canals, is in the same latitude as Montreal. In the matter of longitude, also, our casual impressions often might be found faulty. A classic example, pretty well Known by this time, is that the Pacific end of the Panama Canal is farther east than the Atlantic end, owing to the peculiar curve of the; isthmus, sat} ie to ‘the eastward Sweep of South America’s western coast, ‘we find San- tiago, Chile, to be 200 miles farther east than New York. Reno, Nev., is farther | west than Los Angeles. Washington, D. | C., is due north of Nassau, Bahama Is- | lands. A good many persons, when they first heard of it, were surprised to learn that Tokyo, Japan, is some 1,100 miles farther east than Manila, Philippine Islands. socheremmmcninete A REAL MOTOR DANGER This winter has already shown a num- | ber of deaths from the carbon monoxide | fumes which pour from fhe exhaust of au- tomobiles.
