Borah for the Democratsf

Senator Cole Blease "of South Caro-
lima, SIR" suggests that the Demo-
cratic party nominate for President
next year William f. Borah OF Idaho.
The South Carolina Senator insists
that Mr.. Borah has been an independ-
ent for years and could as well bear
the party label of the Democrats as
that of the Republicans. But Senator
Borah should be heard on this matter
before the Democrats rush to nomi.
nate him as their standard bearer. He
has been "on the reservation" many
times, it is true, yet he has never
broken finally with the G. o. p. It
does not appear probable, examining
his past record, that he ever will. He
has run In his State as a Republican
every time he has been up for Office.
The proposal of Senator Blease that
his party turn to Republican in 1928
serves to emphasize the unfortunate
and irritating situation in which the
Democrats find themselves. Probably
there are Democrats, however. re.
viewing Senator Blesse's record in the

and that American exporters make
shipments in units which are In &C.
cord with the decimal system prev.
aient in the countries Of South and
Central America.
It Is not proposed arbitrarily and
suddenly to change the weights and
measures system that has prevailed
In this country since the first colonial
ton from England. 1t is. however,
proposed that in trade relations Amer.
lean exporters and manufacturers
adapt their standards to the coun.
tries with which they trade.
1t Is certainly good business for a
maker and seller OF goods to offer
them to foreign buyers in the units
and in the sizes to which those buy
ers are accustomed. 1t would seem to
be the simplest matter Of trade ad.
vantage to meet the needs of the mar.
ket. Intelligent trading seeks to sup
ply that which the buyer wants. If
the consumers in a foreign market
want blue cloth It is not good business
to send them red cloth. If they want
their commodities in the terms of the
weights and measures standards to
which they are accustomed 1t Is not
good business to tender them in terms
of pounds and feet rather than kilo-
grams and meters.
Already in this country the metric
system has become established in
many places and uses. It prevails in
the laboratories Of the great indus
trial works. 1t could as readily be
established In the mills themselves
where operatives are merely required
to follow the scales set for them.
Over $4,000 American manufacturers
are at this time pledged in advocacy
of the general adoption of the metric
system, and almost ali Of them are
pledged for it's adoption not merely in
terms of foreign trade. but in general
practice. Education is required to ac-
complish this change. But whether it
is effected for the domestic markets as
we'll as the foreign it is certain that
in dealing with the trade in other
countries American manufacturers
who refuse to conform to the stand
ards prevalent in those countries are
handicapping themselves needlessly.
The adoption of the resolutions by
the Standardization conference should
have helpful influence in advancing
the export business with Latin
America.
