THIRD PARTY NOT LIKELY
NOW SAY PARTY LEADERS

"Over against such a progressive
liberal party there would natuGall'
be organized a distinctly radical
qrty to which should go all those
who now call themselves Democrats
or Republicans, but who are in real
ity neither"
Samuel NJ. Vauclain. president OF
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, re-
plies laconicaliy to the survey ques-
tionnaire: 81 can see no necessity for
a third political party"
The same reply is made by George
L. Record, friend of Theodore Roose-
welt and Bull Moose supporter, and
recently a New Jersey senatorial
candidate on the Republican ticket.
Record thinks new political party
is not feasible but will come grad
ualy after the fashion Of the crea-
ton of the Republican party.
Smith w. Brookhart, new senator
from Iowa, agrees. He says: 81 do
not believe any necessity exists for
new party What | believe should
end will come is progressive control
of the Republican party"
Like Record, Senator Ladd Of
North Dakota thinks history will re-
peat. He says: ''No three parties
are continuously possible. The people
will either take over one Of tne exist
ing parties or form new party as at
the time Of the Civil War"
"What we need" says Senator
Norris. of Nebraska, "is less, not
more, partyism. Rather than a new
party, l should like to see increased
independence by the voter
Senator Norris adds that the chief
evil lies in the fact that people must
vote for especially presi-
Dental candidates-who are chosen
by organization leaders. B. M. Ba-
.ruch believes the difficulty lies in
blind voting by people aligned with
one party or the other for candidates
dominated by that party.
In declaring he had no intention
of leaving the Democratic party inI
order to organize a new political
party, as recently suggested, Barucn
said he believed in the constructive
liberalism of the Democratic party.
he said he thought those who have
liberal and constructive ideas should
get them incorporated into the old
parties.
Predicting that progressiyes Will
control the Republican party within
the next few years Senator Capper,
of Kansas, says:
II do not look for any third party.
However, the progressive spirit justi-
ies hope that the new spirit of the
people can direct action through the
present parties"
Says Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of La-i
bor: 'If both parties commit them
selves to reaction, then both are
doomed. But from the standpoint Of
today ! do not see the need for
third party"

Poll Of Politicians Indicates Two
Major Parties Face Rcalign-
ments Within Ranks
BY EDWARD THIERRY

WASHINGTON, Dec. els d
third party coming in American poll
tics?
Or is some other new political
alignment imminent?
A survey by NEA Service gives
No" as the answer to the first ques-
ion and eyes" as the answer to the
second.
The questions are paramount be-
cause of these Incidents:
Increased strength of progressives
and independents" in the senate.
Ascendancy of Senator LaFollette
as leader of the peoples bloc
Discussion of such names as La
Toilette, Senator Borah, Henry Ford
and w. R. Hearst as third party
presidential candidates.
Suggestion by a Republican that
Bernard M. Baruch, Democrat, lead
farmers and manufacturers in a new
political party.
Leaders of progressive thought in
Washington hope for capture of con-
troll within the Republican party
rather than the rise of third party
Says LaFollette: "The time has
come for the organization of a we'll
defined group, cooperating in sup
port of accepted progressive prin-
ciples and policies" !"
Senator Borah says the future of
the progressive movement does not
necessarily demand the organization
of a new party-unless ''iberal and
sane" legislative program laid down
by the progressive group is rejected
by the party in power.
81 clearly foresee a new political
lineup" says Lindley NJ. Garrison,
former member of President VIII
sons cabinet. ''The political division
which is ahead of US will take this
cleavage: The conservatives of both
parties against the radicals of both
parties; and it will be safer if this is
done by the above-board formation
of third party under new name,
and by scrapping one or both of the
old parties, or perhaps welding them
under hyphenated name.
Garrison would call it the Liberal
Conservative party with the constl-
tuition acting as a sort of dividing
line between conservative and radi-
cal opinion.
Similar methods, in some respects,
are. advocated by Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia Uni
versity, who says:
seThe overwhelming majority OF
Republicans and the overwhelming
majority of Democrats who are IN
substantial agreement on all funda-
mentals should speedily find ways TO
take such steps as may be neces-
sary to form a Democrat-Republiean
party. which would represent the
predominant idealism Of our people.

EURQPE'S FUTURE
LOOMS BRIGHTER

LONDON, Dec. 6-While the re-
cent address of Lord Curzon, secre-
Uary for foreign affairs, to am audi
ence Of business men in the city,
dealt in large measure with the ac-
tuaI political situation in the Near
East, the speaker also expressed
some interesting ideas as to condi-
tions on the continent. He does not
believe that the future outlook of
Europe is one of unrelieved gloom.
81 see the title nations Of Europe
pushing forward to a greater life of
international unity during the next
few years." said Lord Curzon. "In
the states of Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-
.Slayia, Rumania, Poland and Finland,
and in the Baltic States, | see symp-
toms Of life and energy, and the
growth of strong sense of national
independence and power. But on the
other hand, if l look at the great
powers, whether they emerged tri-
umphant from the war or whether
they were broken up by the disas-
ters that ensued, l find that they are
in position of much greater dislo-
caticn and disturbance. Take our
own country. Our financial position
is much stronger, with the exception
Of America, than any other state that
took part in the war.
But at the same time we have
burden of heavy taxation which
weighs down industry, and which IS
burden upon every man in this
country.
F'France IS weighted down with
heavy debt and is sore about repara-
tions. Germany is in a position of
political instability and, is debilitat-
ed by the utter collapse of her eX-
change. Russia is still outside the
comfy of nations, because she. cam
not make up her mind to accept the
conditions which render admission
to that comfy possible and desirable.
She is Still enamoured of commun-
ism, and persists in pursuing her
communistic propaganda in every
part Of the worlds
Austria was saved only by the
interception of the powers when on
the verge of perishing. italy has
been concerned with more than one
convulsion and change of govern
ment.
