London Preparing For Invasion
 From America

LONDON, April 3.-Something has at last been done to deal with the ap- preaching invasion of London by an army of visitors from America and the Dominions--estimat to reach 500,OV0 in the next few months.
 The visitor from overseas will hence forth not have to undertake a weary pilgrimage from hotel to hotel, only 10 find every room booked. He need only ring up the Hospitality league at 20 Montague street, w. C., and state his wants The league will do the rest.
 This departure, the outcome of Daily Express articles some weeks ago, was agreed to at a meeting at the house of commons
 Sir Henry Britain, who presided. said that the hotels would be quite in adequate to provide accommodation for all the visitors to London in the en- suing months

fered to place the machinery of this league at the disposal of the new or ganization, and this was agreed to. He estimated that during the summer months the visitors from overseas would number 100000 from America 5o,00O from Canada. 10000 from Aus tralia and New Zealand, 800, 900 from other parts of the world.

If We can provide accommodation on wider basis" he added, 'it will help financially many of our own peo- pie who put up those coming from overseas. and will give our visitors the opportunity of seeing something of English home life.'

MT. E. T.. Scammell of the Royal ColonioI Institute, said the idea was to supplement the hotels by arranginS touch with the householders in London and elsewhere who would receive over seas visitors as paying guests

CONCERNING MIR. HOOVER.

In our issue of Tuesday a communication
from Francis G. Tracy of Carlsbad, addressed as
an open letter to viii H. Hayes, chairman OF the
national republican committee.
Mr. Tracy calls upon the political parties to unite
upon Mr. Hoover candidate for president IN the
face of our present economic situation
Without discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of such a
course its feasibility as a practical solution would
seem out of the question. The politicians OF both
parties would block such procedure.
It brings us to the observation, however that
Americas present internal problems are economic
instead of political The high cost Of living is sure
ito be the major issue of the campaign in spite of
the presidents wish to make the league of nations
THE sole issue.
The president is a bad psychologist. If he feels
tha the elusive and complex problems Of the league
are going to knit the brow of the average man or
woman in the face of the knitting he is already
doing over the problem of making the blanket or
his income cover the bed of his family expenses he
is guessing all wrong, view it. The cost of
living Is the paramount question in ninety-fve per
cent of the homes of America The average man
Judgment upon how to reduce that cost will deter
mine how he votes unless he shuts his eyes and
votes his party ticket straight.
Even the boshevik sentiment in America is not
really political. The number of people who believe
theoretically in the rule of the minority is negligible
The is economic. Moral character refuses to
reacts in resentment.
Were things prosperous and incomes we'll bal
anced against expenses there would be little or nc
unrest in America. This should point the way tc
would-be statesmen who mentally gaivant around
carrying the old threadbare political issues and try
ing to frt with the voter.
. Right here lies the danger to the old politicians
of Mr. Hoover running off with the republican nom.
ination in spite of their sand his skids. MIR
Hoover stands subsconsciousy in the minds of mil.
lions of the people as Americas economic doctor
and they less disposed to call for the
one they regard as an expert to their malady
The psychology of having followed Mr.
Hoover successfully in solving economic problems
during the grooves the mind and inspires the
confidence to follow him again in the present eco
nomic crisis.
- We advise the politicians to sit up little later
nights studying out how to check mate Mr.. Hoover
But then the alternative of General Wood is al
most much of nightmare, We feel sorry for the

PASSING COM M EN- T

about the prospect of raising to its
lips a drink charged with suicide,
The democratic party would pre-
fer to die fighting on the field of
battle rather than take it's own life
at the bidding of its master.
Sometimes we wonder how much
real information Mr.. Wilson is get
ting as to the temper of the coun-
try. 1t is exceedingly doubtful
whether, in the entire history Of
America any party leader ever in
sisted that his party accept so SUI
perlatively unpopular an issue as
that put up by Article X. The
people will rally to the support of
Article X about as joyously and as
whole heartedly as they would
rally to II program that called for
Americas annexation by England,
or the donation of the south to
Mexico. Straws in the wind such
as Mr.. Bryan's refusal to associate
himself with Article X, or the deci-
sion of the Rhode Island conven-
ton to the same effect, would GER
tainly be noted by any ordinary
party leader, but MIR. Wilson, of
course, is a law unto himself, He
has decreed in his own mind that
the American people want Article
X, and that settles the matter for
him. What he is likely to learn on
election day it would perhaps re.
quire several volumes to tell

privileges and assumption of duties and obligations
without these there can be no true marriage.
Obviously, though couple go through the legal
forms that are recognized by society constituting
their marriage if they make supplemental con-
tract based on reservations to the VOWS to which
they subscribe cOnformaby to convention or law,
they can hardly regard themselves truly married,
however much the ceremony may have legalized GER
tain relationships which they may assume.
We are told that the marriage mentioned wa
in the nature of an experiment in working out of
problem of the highly specialized needs of two pro-
fessional people" The couple, who made their
agreement five years ago under pledge to keep It
secret intended to try out marriage for year and
at the end of that period go quietly apart should
the venture prove a liability instead of an asset .
1t Is possible that the principals in this strangely
unconjugal adventure have experienced change Of
mind and will put themselves in accord with con-
ventional modes of life 1t is to be hoped so, for
the example they have given is not one to be con.
templated with patience by people having respect
for the commonly respected principles of morality
