MR.. HOOVER'S PROPOSED TOUR

The tentative plan of Mr.. Hoover to visit the Latin
American countries has a great deal to commend it. The
president-elect is on familiar ground when he is on the SOIL
of Europe, and also when he is on the soil OF a considerable
mart of the Orient. He has not been to South America. An
extensive personal contact with and close-range study OF the
southern part of the western hemisphere would go Tar TO
round ont his post graduate education In world affalfs' II we
may so call it. +,
AS head of the department of commerce for seven and
a half wears. MIR. Hoover was interested in developing trade
between the United States ard the countries to the south. In
that work he acquired, OF course, a vast fund OF pertinent
information, and he always knows how to put information
to practical use. So far, so good, but it is highly desirable
that the man who is to hold the Office OF president after March
18th next should be equally we'll informed about the political
affairs, and the national ideals and aspirations OF Latin-Am-
erica.
1t is the habitual way of Mr.. Hoover to be thorough
n his study of anything that properly engages his attention.
lie is first a fact-hnder, and having found the underlying
acts he is prepared to formulate policies intelligently, and
prepared to state his reasons for espousing them. That is
me of the reasons why a visit to will be help
ul to him. The radius of his international vision is excep-
ionaly broad. 1t will be still further extended by an onthe-
,round contact with our western world ~neighbors.
MOI merely Nh. Hoover, the man, but MIR. Hoover, the
chosen leader of the people of the United States, will be max
ing these visits. He will be an embodiment of the good will
of this coutry toward all other peoples. His personality
will be invested with the prestige of a great office, although
he is not yet in that office. 1t is well that he should make
this tour of friendship and personal inspectinon while he is
in position to do so. He could scarcely undertake it after
he assumes the presidency and the great responsibilities in
herent in it.
While he is absent Mr.. Hoover will be out of the reach
of inevitable job-hunters. He will be able to perfect his pro-
gram, and correlate the policies for which he stands. A
fruitful use of that opportunity should give him a running
start, so to speak, for the part he is to play in office. That
his cabinet will be chosen with regard to the peculiar fitness
of the appointees for the work assigned them there is no rea-
son to doubt, and it has been said that he is an excellent
judge of men on this score. All. in all, the Latin-American
tour should be rich in benefits to the next administration,
and to all the peoples of the hemisphere, including our own.

THE CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITY

Besides electing Herbert Hoover to the Presidency, it
appears now that the voters Of the United States have given
him a reasonably sure Republican Congressional majority.
The already fairly large Republican majority in the
House has been increased. While the Senate majority will
remain narrow, still it has been improved by the defeat Of
Bayard of Delaware, Bruce of Maryland, Gerry of Rhode
Island, Edwards of New Jersey, and Kendrick Of Wyoming,
all Decomratic incumberts. The independent Republican
wing remains intact in the Senate, but with the exception
OF Blaine Of Wisconsin, and Norris Of Nebraska, these SEN
ators Endorsed the candidacy of Mr.. Hoover.
But any close analysis of the personnel of the Senate
indicates that Mr.. Hoover will have a fairly good working
majority in favor of his policies which has not been the case
during the Harding and Coolidge Administrations.
SO while the voters of the Nation were indorsing the
policies Of Mr.. Hoover at the polls, the voters of individual
states have apparently made it reasonably certain that he
would haSe a Congress that, in the main, will be in sympathy
With his major program. In that way only can the people
be assured that the policies of government which they in
dorse are to be effective.

the line, which according to General
Motors officials, embodies the great
est dollar for dollar value ever Of
fered in al automobile. The prices
viii be practically the same as the
four.
Tortional vibration is impercep-
tible at any speed through the use
of a heavy 46 pound crank shaft
which is perfectly balanced statically
and dynamically. A further contri-
button to- the exceptional quietness
of the motor is the automatic lubri-
cation of the entire rocker arm mech
anism and of all valve operating
parts, which in addition are COM
pletely enclosed.
Another advanced feature is the
fuel pump, which insures a positive
and uniform supply of gasoline to the
carburetor under all driving condi-
tins, regardless of engine speed load
or road grade. A gasoline filter,
built in as part of the fuel pump
insures only clean gasoline reaching
the %carburetor and engine. The EAR
buretor is further protected by a new
type AC air cleaner which prevents
grit and dust from entering.
All models are equipped with par
abolic type ~headlamps, with parking
bulbs, operating from the lighting
switch. A theft proof electro-lock is
also standard. There is a storage
battery with composition case; motor
driven Klaxon horn; complete tool
kit; weatherproof pedal enclosures;
automatic spotlight and rear vision
! mirror.
Both open ar have curtains that
open with the doors, and a full Wis
ion windshield with weather strip and
wiper. Coach, coupe, sedan, cabrio-
let and convertible landau are equip
ped with military sun %visors, a Fisher
wv type windshield with automatic
wiper and narrow windshield posts
which eliminate blind spots. There
are adjustable drivers seats in all
closed models and cowl lamps on the
cabriolet and convertible landau.

Passing on to the motoring public
tbs benefits of economies arising out
Of tremendous volume production
the Chevrolet Motor Company, today
introduces the outstanding Chevrolet
in Chevrolet history-a six in the
price range of the four.
In making this important announce
ment, w. S. Knudsen, president and
general manager, points out that the
sensational public reception accorded
the car in recent years has enabled
Chevrolet at this time to offer the
added power, speed and smoothness
of six cylinder performance at prac-
tically the same prices that contrib
uted so much to the worldwide pop
~ularity of the four.
Preparations for the greatest year
in its history are now being made
by the Chevrolet manufacturers. Pro
duction of the new car was started
last week and the c%ompany's fifteen
giant factories across the country
will be turning out cars to be shipped
to dealers by December Is. Deliver
les to the public will start January
first.
Although no definite schedule has
been set for 1929, Mr.. Knudsen de-
clared that production of the new
car would probably exceed 1,250,0 0O
units thereby surprising all former
records.
The new Chevrolet motor will be
of the same valve in head type as the
four. The motor is of high com
preston type with a non-detonating
head and develops 80 per cent more
power than the four. The piston
displacement is 1914 cubic inches.
Cross country runs have shown
that the new car will average better
than 20 miles per gallon, using no
more fuel than the four. The motor
develops 46 horse power at low speed
and as a result of the automatic lub-
rication of the valve mechanism the
motor is exceptionally quiet through
out the entire speed range.

MOTION is

In his Lewistown Democrat-News Tom Stout SAYS in
commenting upon the formation of the Hoover cabinet:
incidentally, it might be suggested that if he would
ONE out this way and pick Joseph M. Dixon for secretary
f the interior, he will have made a considerable ;mnrove-
nent over any choice made by either Harding or Coolidge
of men for that important position
Coming from one of the leading Democrats of the
state thus suggestion is altogether highly complimentary, and
we are frank in saying that it is the best one Tom has made
since the 1928 campaign opened.
MIR. Dixon would, indeed, make an ideal secretary of
the interior. That particular portfolio is one in which the
west Is most directly interested. Joe Dixon knows the west
and its needs as well as anyone in the nation. He would
be a valuable member of the presidents official family
