ROOSEVELT TO RETAIN SMITH
 CABINET.

New York newspapers predict that Franklin D. Roosevelt will retain almost wholly the Cab met of Gov. Smith, when he becomes Governor There are fourteen major positions to be filled by the Governor and it is believed that the incumbents will have the option of remaining in office. Two of them have indicated their intention of retiring from public office for better nelds in private life. While it is known that Gov. Smith has been criticized by members of the organization because he has so many inde- pendents and Republicans in high place. the State organization has made it plain through Chair man M. William Bray that it has no recom- mendation to suggest to the new Governor who will have absolutely free hand in making all appointments. It is said that Secretary of State Robert Moses. the leading member of the Gov ernors Cabinet, is certain to remain. Moses was a Republican at one time. then a Bull Moose and then became an Al Smith Democrat" Of recent years he has not qualified his membership in the Democratic Party. He is Jew in race and religion.

 A strong fight made for Dr. MacLean on the ground that he would be a member of the Government party at Ottawa and therefore, of great help to British Columbia. On the obvious strength of that argument he received many Conservative votes but not quite enough to put him over.
 The member has been a resident of Victoria since 1910 He was born of Irish parents in Ontario where he was educated. He owns a sheet metal works at Victoria and is prosperous His opponent, the late Liberal Pre- mer, is physician and surgeon.

The circumstance that Bolivia usually re- garded as a Pacific country though Chile and Peru between them have shut her off. from the ocean except by passing through foreign soil, and Paraguay, Atlantic country, are quarrel ing over boundaries is proof that the great interior of South America is being claimed for settlement and use. The Chacon country and other sections have been terra incognita. Il MS only known that the Chacon inhabited hy savages regarded less exclusive and supposedly at least ferocous
