tween Britain and the United States
both these nations would be exclud.
ed from the vote. But If the British
Dominions have individual member
ship in the League they might, in
such an emergency, claim the right
to remain and vote. Also there is no
technical reason why Canada, for
instance should not be on the Exc
cutive Council.
OF course, both these eontingen
cies are so remote as to be prac-
tically impossible, but the United
States cannot reasonably be blam-
ed for wanting to guard against any
shred Of such possibility
Obviously, Canada's national sta
tus Is changing, but we are still a
component part of the British En-
piro, and most Canadians see in this
association their highest hope for
the future. Call it a Britannia Con,
monwealth or what you will. such
an association must stick together
in times Of national peril, else it
were not even an alliance. And if
that much of natural cohesion be
admitted, We must be prepared TO
meet and make concessions to the
feelings and proper fears of other
nations in the League whose mem
bers naturally conclude that com
mon flag and throne mean common
effort for common good.
Great Britain has shown her will
lingness for any American reserva-
lions to the treaty that shall guard
against any excess of British pow
er in the League, and Canada must
not stand in the way. Such reason

HOOVER as
A CANDIDATE.

On the same day on which New
Hampshire elects district delega-
ton pledged or favorable to Mr..
Hoover, letter from that gentle
man is published which must pre-
vent his nomination by the Demo-
cratic party. There VIII be a good
deal of argument and confusion Of
the issue before this result Is mani
fest, but it can be foreseen now. If
nominated at all. it would seem
that Mr.. Hoover must be nominated
by the Republican party.
Ii is plain. too, that watever pres
idential ambition he may have lies
in this direction. He was a "pro-
greSsive Republican before the war"
He was non-partisan during the
war. and he is now an "independ-
ent progressive" His non-partisan-
ship during the war is to his credit,
but that does not enter into the
question. The point is that he has
been progressive Republican and
is now an Independent progressive.
The words are not in the Democratic
dictionary. They have been in the
Republican dictionary since 1912.
There is a certain similarly be-
tween Mr.. Hooyers position and
that of General Grant. He was not
known TO have any party ties; he
had voted at least one democratic
ticket, but, like Mr.. Hoover, during
the war he had been a non-partisan.
Both parties talked of nominating
him, but the Republicans, with bet
Ter organization, got to him first.

SULTAN PROFITS BY

American sentiment is outraged by
the apparent determination of the

would be suicidal for the progress
sive majority of the Democratic
party to abandon its principles for
any candidate; but where Mr.. Hoo
yer is known to be progressive 1t
would be foolish for the Democratic
leaders to stand upon their dignity
and not to open negotiations with
him. 1t might as well be said in aB
candor that unless there is a poll
teal earthquake between now and
November, Mr.. Hoover Is the one
man who can probably carry the
Democratic party to victory. If

of Democrats to get the strongest

judgment of this newspaper, to in.

cannot adopt a platform; that is a
right reserved to the convention.
But he national committee can at

The latest from Mr.. Hoover,
while excellent in spirit, strength
ems the impression left by his prior
utterances-namely. that he little
understands the realities and func-
tons Of the American party system.
Mr.. Hover speaks as if were pos
sible to have a non-partisan selec-
ton and election Of the next Presi-
dent Whatever the abstract merit
Of such action, it is so unfeasible
that it is not worth while to waste
time discussing it. The next Presi-
dent will be named at Chicago or
at San Francisco What's the use
of any money talk that disregards
this highly protuberant fact? The
conventions are but three months
away, and there Is little profit in
academc debate that gest nowhere.
Mr. Hoover still fails 10 indicate
which party he is the more in SYM
pathy with. His excuse is that the
issues confronting us are new and
the alignment upon them has not
yet been made by the great paties."
SO his notion Of correct personal
procedure apparently is, first, to
take no part in inducing his party
for he has none-to adopt correct
policies and second. to he silent
until both conventions have met,
adopted platforms and adjourned.
Then Mr.. Hoover implies that he
would say where he stood and what
| he would accept
But conventions which adopt the
platforms also nominate the cand-
lates. They don't take a recess.
Perhaps they should, but they don't
Mr.. Hoover would have for DELHI
Grafton only the few hours inter-
Toning between the report of the
committee on resolutions and the

modestly saying that no one should
assume to dictate issues, has moth
ing more definite to say than that
he has been progressive Republi-
can and that Il still object as
much to the reactionary group in
the Republican party as ! do to the
radical group in the Democratic
party" This is the attitude of the
Tribune and of the great majority,
we believe, of Republicans. But
the statement, though good as far
as it goes. is vague-it a sort of
generally in which politicians in
dulge when specific questions are
embarrassing.
Mr.. Hoover seems trying to ex-
press. without much success, feel
ing that is entertained by many of
all parties-namely that partisan
ship as it has been known is in
many respects archaic But the
idea without body is barren. 1t
colides with aetualities OF our poll
tical system or involves itself in
mesh Of absurdities.
Mr.. Hoover should either effec-
lively discountenance acts of his
friends which assume he is a candi-
date or else be a candidate, and of
necessity say on what platform and
ticket. If he is to run. then he
should do all legitimately within

to induce those delegates. who are
