If as President Moscicki. of Poland says that Danzig is the air and sun of Polish life, then it must be retained naturally for its political and economical existence. ° The American-controlled Northwest- ern Railway of Mexico wants to sell to the government of Mexico. Low revenues and increasing demands of employes for high- er wages are given as the reason. Motor driven trucks and automobiles are giving railroads the coup de grace, just as radio is hamstringing the newspapers. Mothers of major league _balliplayers attending games in which their sons take part have had hard luck this season and it isn’t half over. During a game some time ago the mother of Cleveland's Feller was felled by a foul ball, and the other day, the mother of New York’s Hadley, while watching a game in which her son participated, was nicked by a foul ball and had to undergo. medical treatment. But that’s not the reason they are called foul balls, dear mothers. New frontiers for American enter- prise and capital may be found in the Latin Ameriean countries, but the bete noir of expropriation is always to be con- sidered. Im Mexico, for instance, the American pioneer devoted for many years his energy, Bis inteHigence and capital to develop the oil industry, only to have the government assume ownership and con- trol without making provisions beforehand for payment. Of course, powerful Tio Samuel could prevent the seizure but that would lead to misunderstandings and eries of “imperialism” at # time when the Latin should. be profitably cultivated as a weet neighbor. EUROPE EXPANDS AIR MAIL Americans ate aceiistottied to ¢om- paring this huge country with Europe and explaining how the division of nations on | that continent retards the development of trade and commerce. . ever, that next January all international first-class mail on the continent will be carried by air instead of by train, at ordi- nary mail rates. No special mail-markings of the letter is required. In this country, the United States Gov- | ernment is spending millions of dollars to develop airways. It is also paying liberal | prices for the carrying of air-mail. May- | be, in time, it will be possible to carry first-class mail between distant American ! gities by air. It may be possible, also, in the future to make the advantages of air- mail availabe to the smaller towns and cities of the country. i PIROW JUMPS BOTH WAYS! cause of peace by urging “acknowledg- | ment of German colonial demands” and by | advocating compensation for’ war-lost colonies, Brother Pirow, ‘however, immediately (in fact in the same sentence) makes his ‘eontribution valueless by adding, “‘in- the. case of Southwest Africa and “Tangan- yika,” there have been “developments since 1914”. that “make the return of these territories impossible.” This is about.as fast a hop, skip and a jump as we have seen in many a moon. Briefly, Mr. Pirow wants somebody to compensate Germany for the loss of her colonies but he doesn’t want to return any of the former’ colonies that he happens to be connected with. Germany, in his view, should be com- ‘pensated—by somebody else. OUR SILENT SENATORS (The Independent, St. Petersburg) As the time nears for choosing presidential candidates for next*year’s election, political winds }. have grown heavy with rumor and counter-rumor ‘pirations. As yet the president has given no in- dication of what he will do although Third Ter- mites, as Republicans have adroitly dubbed Roose- velt backers, have sounded off time. and again. However, there has been a conspicuous absence of statements from both, Democrat and. Republican senators who generally become loquacious at the drop of a hat. The answer to their stony silence is simple. action will place many senators in a dilemma and | dilemmas something senators carefully avoid. Back in 1928 Senator-La Follette introduced a resolution in the senate, which after considerable debate was adopted, 56 to 26. It stated that any departure from the anti-third term tradition would be “unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institutions.” Le Follette was firm in his demands upon the senate that the resolution be passed, and while he was not then or is now a Democrat, he is considered one of the strongest supporters of President Rodse- velt. In the debate .on- the resolution, it was con- are as establishing the “no third term” precedent, re- fused to, take the office for the third time only on personal grounds, not on principle. Senator Borah strung along with that idea. If, Borah said, affairs in 1796 had been as critical as they were in 1792 Washington would have run for the third term. However, the Idaho senator, now a New Deal in-and-outer, felt that in) general the anti-third term tradition was wise and he voted for the La Follette resolution. So did Senator Norris, now a dyed-in-the- wool backer of the New Deal. Nortis warned that power begot the taste for power and that a prolonged occupancy of the White House might well lead to a dictatorship. So far neither La Follette, Borah nor Norris have stated their atti- tude on the proposed: Roosevelt third term. On the other hand, Senator Fess of Ohio, a rabid Roosevelt foe, strongly attacked the La Follette resolution in 1928. He still hoped that’ the Republican convention of that year would draft President Coolidge for a third term and felt under the circumstances Coolidge might with propriety accept. Voting alongside of Fess was Senator McNary, now Republican leader in the senate, who violently opposed the resolution. And neither Fess nor McNary have had much if anything to say about the third-ferm talk. Senate opinion on third terms, then, appears j tbe governed by the candidate: who is running. | And if President Roosevelt “Chooses to run”. ~again next year the senate chambers wilt be [ase wan rom The news from Paris tells one how- | Oswald Pirow, Deferse Minister of) -| South Africa, makes a contribution to the | regarding President Roosevelt's third-term as- | If President Roosevelt tries for a third term, his | ceded that Washington, who is always poilited to | Li There will be a double header | ‘of baseball played at the Phelan! grounds tomorrow.
