President Hoover's entire Cab
met is to address the nation in
succession of weekly radio speech
es to begin May 2. In the course
of ten weeks all the major activ-
tiles and policies of the govern
ment under the present Admin
istration are to be outlined and
described. While all of the Cabi-
net members have individually
made radio addresses at some time
during their term of office, moth
ing as comprehensive as the pre-
sent plan to cover the government
generally has been undertaken be-
fore. The plan is to have each
Cabinet officer discuss the work
of his own department. 1t is 49,
sumed that the principal problems
before the Administration and its
views on them will be outlined.
The death of Speaker Nicholas
Longworth, in addition to remov-
ing from Washington one of the
best loved men in public office.
creates for the. Republican party
a real problem. It becomes nee
essary for the Republicans to fight
in the Ohio district for the seat
in the House occupied for so many
years by Mr.. Longworth. They
must have it if they are to retain
their majority of one in the next
House. 1t also becomes necessary
for the Republicans to select a
candidate for Speaker in the pla-
ce of Mr.. Longworth, who was
chosen unanimously at the eau
Gus of Republicans held before the
last Congress expired.
Il
Disposition of some 200,000,000
bushels of wheat in the possession
Of the Federal Farm Board is the
subject of sharp divergence Of
opinion in the grain trade, accord
ing to reliable reports here from
grain centers. 1t is understood
that the concensus of large grow
ers and cooperatives is that III
boards holdings should be held
off the market intact in order that
prices for the 1881 crop may be
maintained. The board, it is re-
ported, believes it's stocks should
gradually be liquidated and this
policy has the support of the Pres
indent. Thus far, the board
has pursued the policy of gradu
ally unloading it's stocks. Several
months ago it made an order that
95,OOO,OOo bushels be disposed OF
abroad. But only 100000 bush
els have thus far been liquidated,

While Jouett Shouse, chairman
of the Executive Committee of the
Democratic national committee, is
out beating the Republicans in the
West, Robert H. Lucas, the execu-
tive director of the Republican ma
tional committee, has turned his
guns on that Democratic strong
hold, the South. The 'home rule
liquor plan was ridiculed by Mr.
Lucas. In sarcastic tones, he de
clared that Chairman Raskol
would solve the country's econon.-
ic problems "by % repeating the
Federal antitrust laws; and On
offering every Individual drink
The South, was urged to abandon
such bankrupt leadership t.
quit camping in a political grave
yard" and to join hands with the
Republican party. Mr.. Raskob's
individual opinion is that the par
ty should support a new amend
ment to the Constitution giving
each State the right to set up 2
liquor system, if it pleased, while
leaving to Federal Government the
power and duty of enforcing the
eighteenth amendment in al
States which preferred to remain
dry. This he calls a "home rule
plan.
The National political signifi
canoe of the election of Anton ]
Cermak as Mayor of Chicago lie'
in the fact that he and Senator j
Hamilton Lewis (Democrat), Hi
nois, are now in position to ce
ment together a powerful politica
machine. The Democratic nation

Thomas Gore (Democrat), Okla

of Mr.. Cermak, as indicating {
1882 trend. But Republicans, re
