HOOVER'S new

CONGRESS LINK
Secretary Keeps President
in Close Touch With
Legislation.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON May 8. - Al
though former Representative Wal
ter H. Newton of Minnesota is now
listed as one Of President Herbert
Hoover's three secretaries, his new
job is one whose importance is not
even suggested by that rather mod
est title.
Newton's appointment really
meant the creation of a personal
connecting link between the White
House and the Capitol, a presiden-
tial innovation which has won the
approval of all Washington political
observers. Frederic William Vile,
veteran Washington correspondent
of The Farm Journal, explains the
creation of the new post thus:
The Presidents have always had
personal assistants of the traditional
private secretary class. But until
Mr.. Hoover established 3. secretary
ship for the special purpose of
keeping the White House in close
contact with congress and the gov
eminent departments, there had
never been anything of that sort.
THE wisdom of the Presidents
action has been generally approved
In fact, every one wonders why
something of the sort had not been
done long before; it seemed so OBJ

The Philippines are the only
American soil on the globe where
prohibition is not in effect. Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii-all are legally
dry. But not the Philippines.
The Philippines are legal posses
sionS of the United States, and not
territories. Hence the Filipino legis-
lature has the power to decide
whether such a law as the eight
zenith amendment should apply
here.
The legislature decided that it
shouldn 't-and it doesn't. In other
words, it would, under existing cir
cunstances, be illegal for the Amer
