Mir. Hoover and Labor.
(NeW York TimeS.l

The President could not possibly have yielded to the insiStence of even so good a citizen as William Green, head of the American Federation of Labor that from it's ranks only must the suc- cessor to Secretary Davis be taken. In denying the request he enunciated a principle with which all impartial persons must be in agreement. He could not "debar any labor man in the United States v whether not affiliated with the great Fedora tion from the opportunity the aspiration to attain any office in the land" It was entirely natural for MT Green to seek to have third Secretary of Labor named from the same member ship from which Messrs. Wilson and Davis were selected. But to make that an indispensable re- quirement was to take an untenable position.
 As the President said in his statement, MT. Doak throughout his life has been active in the of organized labor, the which animates the Federation. His union, the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen is very large. It is an elder brother of the Federation. In The American Labor Year Book this union, one of the Big Four is listed independent" but not opposed Sup porting MT. Doak's candidacy were several unions which belong to the Federation. The aims of the railroad unions exactly the same those of the members of MT Greens organization. There be suggestion that MT. Doak is not rep resentative of labor. When MT. Green says that "the Secretary of Labor sitting in the Presidents Cabin, should be man who understands the Am ercan labor movement, it's problems and the thought and mind of American labor" the description does not fail to encircle MT. Doak.
 There is a story that MT Hoover offered the post to MT. Green or to any one member of the Federation on whom it could unite. Whether or not this is accurate, the appointment indicates dstrus of the Federation Had the President agreed with MT. Greens major premise, it would have been much to agree that Secretary of the Treasury must always be member of the Ameri- can Bankers Association In office MT Doak must prove his individual worth But the principle behind his selection has it's complete justification in the ideals responsible for our democracy.

F. Goldman former Supreme Court Justice of New York, and Selden Bacon both eminent lawyers of wide experience. A similar defense was recently made to in a New York Federal Circuit Court in which the same counsel were associated with Jeremiah M Evarts of Vermont. Mir Evarts is grandson of the late William M Evarts former States Senator of New York and is a great grand son of Roger Bacon, signer from Connecticut of the Declaration of Independence. In summing up the New. Jersey case, Judge Goldman declared: "The point at issue has been raised sidered decided in the Prohibition cases or other cases by the Supreme Court of the United States" |"
 Should the Supreme Court do the unexpected and affirm the judgment of the lower court, the nation could then decide the issue its merits The Dry amendment could be submitted to the States for ratification by State conventions and should three -fourths of them do so, the same old fight started 10 years ago and increasing in vigor and intensity every succeeding year will go ahead And that is what will happen if the Supreme Court reverses the New Jersey decision.

ATTACK EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT
 FROM NEW ANGLE.

The decision recently handed down by Judge William Clark of the Federal District Court of Trenton N. J. in which the Eighteenth Amend nlent was declared to be invalid approaches the question from a new direction and presents ques- ton never before raised to be decided by the United States Supreme Court Dry leaders as unit are confident Judge Clark will be overruled by that tribunal and even some of the more prominent tiProhibition leader not overly hopeful that he will be sustained
 The contention raI1 before Judge Clark was that the method of ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment was not that prescribed by the Fifth and Tenth Articles of the Constitution, that it was attempted to be but not actually) ratified by the States whereas the Constitution requires that all amendments be ratified by the people of the sev- eral States through State conventions Declaring that matter of amendment is vested in the sov- ereign people of each State it was urged that the Legislatures of three-IouI hs Of the States, even of all of them could not take away such powers.

Americas Continued Domination.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The place of the United States at the top of the world economic heap has been held so long and so securely that any reference to it may seem commonplace. Yet glance at the latest comparative figures production and of materials and manufactured products regarded as the most important in world industry today renews amazement that one nation, however thoroughly committed to the efficiency of the machine, could achieve such dominance.
 The United States has little more than six per cent of estimated world population and some what less than six per cent of the worlds total land In productive equipment however, in means of transportation and communication and production of materials and commodities in world
 trade it surpasses the combined record of the other 94 per cent.
 summary of the American position, prepared by the National Industrial Conference Board the basis of the most recent statistics reveals the extent of leadership not only in production but also in the application of modern methods to increase effiency and convenience at home. For instance, of corn cotton, petroleum, automobiles trucks and other machinery the United States produced more than half of the worlds total. The production of motor cars in 1929 than three -fourths of the world output At the time this country turned out nearly half of the worlds total supply of coal copper lead and iron. It had in use nearly 60 per cent of existing mileage of telephone and telegraph wires 33 per cent of world railroad mileage 35 per cent of all developed water power, and used up 70 per cent of the crude rubber pro- dueed
 In some fields notably iron and motor vehicles, other countries have increased production in the last 10 years in greater proportion than the United States This is due to partial recovery from post war conditions, which allowed America to sume undsputed command, and to the spread of American methods of production, often referred to resentfully by critics the "Americanization" of Europe.
 It will require long period of this process be- fore our industrial supremacy is challenged.
