Old Familiar Tactics

Candidates Curtis Lowden and Watson have as
much right to enter the Ohio primary as either
Willis Hoover, of course. 1t is an open primary,
or ought to be.
Ohio Republican voters should have the oppor-
tunity to send delegates to the national convention
who will support the candidacy of the man the
voters think will be the strongest and best candidate
no matter what State he happens to hail from
But Candidates Curtis, Lowden and Watson have
not entered as first choice candidates. They appear
to have entered into an agreement with Senator
Willis, under the terms of which Willis is a first
choice candidate and they trail in as choice
candidates
When Ohio friends of Hoover sought an agreement
with Senator Willis that meant Hoover entering as
a Second-choice candidate, Willis wouldn't stand for
it at all He insisted that he must be the first and
only choice, and that Ohio's solid vote should be
cast for him until he ordered otherwise.
That is what made it imperative that Hoover be
entered tirStchoice candidate in the Ohio pri-
mary. Willis brought the fight himself by his
arrogant assumption of the right to have Ohio all to
himself, and without giving Republican voters any
voice in the selection of delegates.
His position in inviting Curtis, Lowden and
Watson into the primary second-choice candidates
looks very much like coalition of candidates rep
resenting interests that are or will be for anybody
beat Hoover.
1t Smacks of the kind Of politics that led to the
hand picking of presidential candidate in a hotel
midnight bedroom conference of party bosses and
campaign contributors who wanted something for
their money.
In Ohio the bosses have combined to beat Hoover,
and take their chances which will be the bedroom
choice, once Hoover is out of the way.

Hoover Not a Grandstander

There may be some people left who have hang
notion about what statesman ought to be.
They may think he ought to wear always a long
tailed coat turnover collar and long flowing tie,
expel words from his insides like spoutng volcano,
and give vigorous imitation of windmill in gale
While gesticulating with his arms, hands and hair
and his voice believing like that of the bull of Bashan
Butcher times, other manners. The old time
spellbinder is out of date Nowadays the successful
statesman doesn't think with his lungs or help prog
her way by making noise like gas well.
He is apt to be calm and deliberate quiet-voiced
and convincingly earnest than noisily oratorical
Herbert Hoover belongs to the modern type. In
stead of saying things he does them-and doesn't
pause for loud cheers and enthusiastic applause
He is an engineer builder. Instead OF throwing
bricks he lays them in orderly fashion, one top
of the other.
When he starts in on an engineering job he has
visuazed the finished job and laid out his work in
orderly manner before he tackles it. In other words
he knows what he is doing and takes more interest
in doing the job than in talking about it.
Politically Hoover isn't grandstander. He isn't
strong on the ballyhoo AS a political promiser he
probably would be a failure. If he tried to shoot
the bunk he'd probably foozle his put. And he isn't
enough of political horserader to hit il off with the
politicians whose main idea about craftsmanship
is jobs
This may explain why some Of the party bosses
rather would have somebody else in the White House
somebody who would play the game, and see that
the Government administered for the special
benefit of "the boys" and the big campaign contrib
utors.
But there are others-milons of enl-who think
that being President of the United States mighty
big job and that man who has the constructive
mind of engineer is better fitted for its important
duties than the old-fashioned, out-of-date grand
standing spellbnder who talks big and performs little
And they don't care a darn what party tag or
label he wears.

Rabbit Can Stand 1t
by BRUCE CATION

Andrew Maurois, scholarly Frenchman who re-
Gently visited the United States, writes sadly that
the American has home life
The average American, he says, arises early and
hurries to his Office He comes home "at in the
evening" eats a hurried dinner and dasheS off to
the movies. I'm general" laments M. Mauros, "the
American home very little of its inmates"
To which only say "poppyCock'-
perhaps, land if So what Of it?"
People from Europe seem unable to scan the
American scene with equanimity. They are stunned
by brutal industrialiSm;" they aghast at
public indifference to politics; they panied
by mania for money-and money, you know
little to Europeans that they volun-
tarly coming forward to pay the few odd billions
they borrowed of us in the war; like M. Mauros
they shed tears at the diSintegraton of homes.
And, oddly enough, We take them seriously. We
listen to them. Let man from Europe raise his voice
in criticism and there will arise from this side the
Atlantic corresponding chorus OF ALAS! Too truee
1t is about time that we gave our foreign critics
the go-by. Not one in hundred has anything to
offer u.s. for this reason; the United States and
Europe farther apart, cuturay, than before
and the gap is widening.
Europe is living in one civilization and we are v-
ing in another, and the two have almost nothing in
common. Most Europeans not criticse us inteli-
gently for the simple that the only standards
by which they measure us are out of date.
There is needed in this country a revival of the
DID, hamboyant, et-theeagle-sc spirit of cocky
youth Does Europe sheer at for Dragging about
our factories? Fair enough; we shall continue to
brag Our factories the symbol of our civiliza-
ton, and our civilization is developing.
Does Europe laugh at our Rabbits? Babbtt can
stand it, for he is becoming world conqueror. Is
Europe panied by the "crudeneSs" Of cities? Well,
when Paris and London have Stagnated into decay,
Chicago and Atlanta and Houston and the rest will
have time to take a few Of the finer cultural
graces.
Drop the inferiority complex, by all means Europe
little to her criticisms almost nothing
at ALL We are hardly the threshold Of our great
est development. Let us be proud

Conditions, Not Theories
Law and Order

There are thousands Of American
business enterprises which have
taken root overseas and there are
millions of American citizens who
look to those enterprises for en-
ployment or dividends.
Not only the expansion, but the
very existence of the majority OF
those enterprises depends on a
reign of law and order.
You can put aside idealism and
still find good reason why the
United States should help main
tain law and order.
AS a matter of common sense,
the United States has far more
reason to do this now that she has
become the worlds chief creditor
nation.
The destruction of property
through disorder often works to the
advantage of debtors, but never to
the advantage of creditors.
There never was a time when the
welfare and prosperity Of the
American people were so closely
bound up with peace.
The prevailing opinion that
since this country has become rich,
it no longer needs to worry about
what happens in other countries Is
all wroHp.

Airplane Safety

The Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aero
nautics predicts that the time is not far distant
when absolute safety in airplanes will be attained.
Even now the arpane is a relatively safe convey
ance. Given good plane and qualified pilot with
decent weather conditions there little risk in flying
But the public is still bit slow about trusting itself
TO the air.
In the near future, however according to the Gug-
genheim Funds experts, airplanes will be almost fool
proof. The development Of commercial and pleasure
aviation that will follow attainment of such con-
dtion is matter for the imagination to dwell on.
eN will be tremendous.

Mussolini and the League

Benito N1ussolini, the Peck's Bad Boy of Europe
has got the old world in hot water again. In fact
it is in couple of hot kettles at the same time one
having been steamed up by the affair of five car
loads of struggled machine guns intercepted on the
way from Italy Hungary the other fired by Austria
outburst against Italys treatment Of German
minorties in the Italian Tyrol
Thus today, with the meeting of its council less
than a week off, the League of Nations is seeking
how it emerge from both meSses with dignity
to itself and such admonton to the offending coun-
tries as it thinks just or it can get away with.
And there's the rub. For while it may be fairly
safe to rap Hungary or Austria the knuckles,
the italy of Mussoni is something else again Duce,
it is said does not care to be either investigated
spanked Yet if reports are true it is difficult to
see how the League can get out of performing both
the one and the other.
Five carloads of machine guns, the story goes,
labeled machinery and consigned to Poland were
intercepted en- route to Hungary. Poland says she
never heard of the things, while further investga-
ton said have demonstrated that the arms were
not only Of Italian origin, but were of Italian gov
eminent origin they having been turned to Italy
by Austria after the armistice.
Then as if this did not put a sufficiently grave
aspect on the affair, the Hungarian government de-
liberatey destroyed the evidence. 1t smashed the
guns and sold the pieces as junk IN the very lace
of the Joint request of Jugo-Slavia, Checho Sovaka
and Ruinania to the League that the whole thing
be probed.
Europe is pretty much divided as to the course
to follow And the League is in difficulties. For it
is obvious if there is anything to the reports at all,
that to allow Italy and Hungary to get away with
this direct violation of the treaty Of Trianon not only
scraps that treaty but the treaties of versailles, ST.
German and all the rest as we'll.
If Italy and Hungary can snap their fingers at the
treaties growing out of the World War, Germany and
the rest can do it, too-and probably will.
Small wonder then, that League officials are per-
turbed They don't relish the idea of slapping Musso-
in not even on the wrist for Benito has way OF
coming back with swift one to the chin.
The Italo- Austrian episode may may not be just
another furry Criticisms in the Austrian parla-
ment of Italys treatment of Germanic minorities in
what is now the Italian Tyrol has caused an angry
storm in Italy.
The two countries on the point of dipo-
matte rupture. The hulabaoo may have been stirred
up in Rome to distract attention from the machine
guns, but that is pure Surmse.
Still and all, the League council will meet next
Monday at Geneva and those interested will not have
to wait long for the next chapter of the Pecks Bad
Boy of European diplomacy.

Curbing the Lobbyists

Commemorate as its object may be- Senator Cara
ways bill to lobbying in Washington shoots wide
Of the mark.
Senator Caraway's plan for requiring lobbyists to
register with Congress and disclose their purpose and
connections under penalty Of fine or jail for failure
to do So might be practicable if anyone legally could
define what lobbyist is
In other words where do the perfectly legitimate
actions Of lawyer witness end and where do
the Vaccinations of lobbyist begin? Who draw
the line?
Also what can be done about the more subtle and
insidious social lobby" that snubs the wives and
daughters of Congressman who happen to vote the
wrong way?
Senator Caraways plan to have lobbyists register
with Congress may bring forward the petty grafterS
who operate paper associations" for the dssemina
ton Of various sorts of propaganda in Washington,
such associations being designed for personal profit
But these men seldom if ever, influence legislation.
The real lobbyist usually is polished lawyer or
technical expert or an old friend of Senator trad
ing on his acquaintance, who would be the last to
admit that he was lobbying. And the distinction
is so difficult that it would be almost impossible to
prove.
The power lobby that defeated the Walsh resolu-
ton was of this character It's leaders we're men who
appeared openly in the perfectly legitimate role of
lawyers or witnesses. Its more subtle agents were
men 10 washington nearly every
in the Union many of them old friends college
mates of particular Senators, who capitalized their
intimate connections for the powers of persuasion.
It was the fellows from back home" perhaps
welding no small political influence, who really did
the work of the lobby.
Tne popular conception of lobby as attended by
bribery and corruption is a mistake. The modern
lobbyists methods are intimate and subtle and require
no such measures.
Money may be spent layshy for entertainment
and perhaps there may be gentle hint of political
/, punishment back home, but who can prove these
Washington visitors lobbyists? And they would
be the last to admit it,
Bribery and corruption may be punished but Sena
cor Caraways bill or other bill the init
mate and subtle type of lobbying that gets" its
through friendship or political expediency.
The only real cure lies within the conscences Of
members of Congress and the test is moral honesty
