It takes a Democratic mayor to \advertise an industrial slump during administra- a Republican national tion, just as it requires o Republican official 1o thoroughly disseminate distressing information about {pression during & Democratic na- ‘tional administration, as the old- Igtagers will well remember. i Conditions in New Britain @8 serious as in many another municipality. The mayor was down in New Jersey some weeks ago and de- not came back with the statement that | industrial conditions there are far worse than in these parts, and that New Britain is comparatively lucky. ‘Which unquestionably is a fact and is borne out by official statistics. Some of the factories in New Br ain have been working on part time; in some- cities factories have been practically closed, but these facts are ot very generally advertised, not all of these cities mayors. The other the picture shows rush work in some industrie side of these may not be astonishingly nu- | merous, but they exist. The stock market has been booming, as every- but why this should be ‘the case nobody knows. Some cor- ‘porations have been chalking up good €arnings, others have been going into 1ed, or nearly so. Thc‘uu!omomle in- dustry is trying to catch up with d mand, while the textile industry is all but down and out. Some basic in- dustries, such as the steel industry, ‘Jiave shown a tendency to improve; the eoal industry is badly bent; the | farm industry s trying to recover from the worst smash-up in its his- tory but still thinks it needs govern- iental relief.

To face this emer- gency, it may be said, nobody but Mr. Coolidge himself is .wanted. If, “however, Mr. Coolidge has made it | even more certain that he does not, not run again, the boys will be up a | tree and sitting on a rather weak Hmb, They will have to face the | emergency as best they may. In |such an event the Draft-Coolidge ! Association may feel Inclined to favor { Dawes or Lowden, or a “dark horse previously decided upon. Despite all they can do about it to the contrary they may be compelled to swallow Hoover after all. Accord- ing to what we cogitate about it, they may as well make up their minds about that now as later. The Republican public has indicat- ed In the primaries that it has taken Mr. Coolidge at his word and that what he sald about not being a can- didate again simply means he won't run. The Republican public has tak- en a liking to Hoover and if the handfull of Republican die-hards, actuated by motives hard to analyze {but not difficult to guess, insist on | fighting Hoover and succeed in {nominating a vote-getting nonentity | they will do a splendid service to the Democratie party. They might easily succeed in elect- ling Al Smith, SHEDDING MORE LIGHT A DEAL IN THE DARK Ounce again a way has been found to make money quickly. When | Colonel Robert W. Stewart gave his recent’ testimony before the Senate he allowed mere senators to gain considerably In apprehending the | niceties of frenzied finance. The ON edge, however, cannot he to the | Colonel's listing The unanimous vote {of the Senate to face the Colonel | with a charge of perjury, if possible, must be a hard blow. Two months ago the Colonel gave the Senate to understand that he re- cefved none of the bonds *‘earncd” by the Continental Trading Co., Ltd., | of Canada. But a few days ago, when the Senate committee had located circumstantial evidence that he got | some of the honds, h ecame forward | with an admission he did get $759,- 500, but had kept them in a safe, “lxllst"' ete. Little wonder, therefore, | that the Senate is in a mood to em- brofl the Colonel deeper into the ofl mess. The Continental Trading Company has for years been a deep mystery. The company had a short life—one just long enough to shower lavish | profits upon its promoters—and then It becams a has-been concern, ex- | isting in memory enly, a bon-mot for senatorial inquisitors who owned too much lealthy curiosity as to the [ nature of the concern. | The four men who gave birth to | the company were loath to speak |about the child; it was not until | Coloncl stewart, one of the daddies, | finally unbosomed himself fully that | Washington gained that thorough which needed for a dze in | knowl | definite conclusion. ! Some of our readers may have overlooked the ins and outs of the Continental, and we at pains to £ yet defin.te description ds of the Standard Oil give a br of it.
