Hoover left Washington dreading
his first plunge into rough and
tumble politics. Reserved to the
point Of shyness, he shrank from
what was for him q novel and
strange experience.
He comes back surprised not, only
at the success Of his first political
exhibition, but at the enjoyment he
is getting out of it. And he wants
more. He is slowly assuming the
psychological viewpoint Of the cam
paigner.
Completely satisfied with the po-
litical results of his first venture,
it is expected that he will make
many more sallies. His advisers
have urged him to scrap his pro-
gram for only few speeches at
central points, and carry his fight
into every part of the country ex-

chairman of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, who just has re-
turned from Europe.
While in Rome Porter discussed
the worldwide narcotic situation
with Premier Mussolini.
Duce Endorses Bill
"At the Geneva opium conference
two years ago the American and
Italian delegates stood shoulder to
shoulder in their efforts to obtain
an international agreement to
regulate and control the distribution
of narcotics" Porter said. 1t found
Premier Mussolini just as much in
terested as ever and doing all in his
power to regulate in Italy the dis
tribution ofsnarcotic drugs. He as.
sured me of the continued coopera-
ton of his government with the
United States and Endorsed strongly
my bill, now pending in Congress,
to establish narcotic farms to cure
addicts."
Representative Porter discovered,
he said, that European friendship
for the United States is greater than
ever.
People Happy
II saw no signs of anti-American
feeling such as was extensively re-
ported two years ago." he declared.
Among the rank and file of the
people the United States, its Gov
eminent and its people, is held in
the highest esteem.
Porter found economic conditions
in France and Italy greatly i'm
proved, he said.
THE French people apparently
are very content. Crops are good, the
franc has been Stabilized, and
people seem happy" he said. "This
is true also of Italy, where the
people are taking as much interest
in their government as they take in
THEN personal affairs"

favorably to this advice. Though he
will base his battle on Washington
headquarters, he is considering at
least three important speaking
tours. One would be into New Eng
land, New York and other seaboard
States, a second into the border
States, and the third, as part of his
return to California to vote, would
include northwestern territory.
Frankly, Hoover's original pro-
gram was predicated on his own
doubt of his faculty for political
campaigning. His advisers shared
this feeling. They doubted his
ability to make direct speeches to
the public. But his two efforts at
speech making, his acceptance and
West Branch addresses, have ban
ished these fears.
Irons Out Old Feuds
So much did he enjoy it that at
his request many stops not
scheduled were made, with platform
speeches at these places. Even
more satisfactory have been the re-
suits from his first exercise of party
leadership in California he ironed

In the Southwest he convinced
conflicting interests that the Boulder
Dam question would be solved along
engineering rather than political
lines. He also stamped out any
tendency on the part of minor C.

religion, thereby winning the
gratitude of the large Spanish
Catholic population.
In the corn belt he won over most
of the leaders to the point where
