the White House has there been such
continuous, intelligent devotion to duty.
HE has set aside every selfish polit-
zeal motive and invoked the co-opera-
ton of the best minds IN every depart
ment of life. No branch of capital
or labor, no profession, no political
party, no business, big or little, has been
overlooked. They have all been called
to the presidential council table and
every emergency has been promptly
discussed and dealt with in accordance
with their combined wisdom.
HE Is still at work is hours day.
He never seems to tire in the face of
the big Job ahead of him. But it is
our Job as well<as his and we should
help him through with it, when CO.
operation is so essential TO our ma
tional welfare.
THE President has made all sections
of the country and all classes, of the
people his partners In the solution of
the Nations problems. He has inspired
tolerant exchanges of views. He has
induced sane conclusions. That was
the old-fashioned Hoover common sense
that people expected.
Never since the Napoleonic wars has
he world suffered from economic and
political disorders such as the world has
recently faced.
'As a result Of meeting the emer-
gency under the Presidents leadership,
our progress toward recovery stands out
in bold relief against all the other coun-
tries of the world. Our people are being
cared for everywhere. The helpful spirit
of cooperation and good viii among all
classes prevails as never before. Unlike
other countries, we are free from revo-
luton, strikes and other forms OF yto-

Regaining Economic Equilibrium.
"The country is regaining its eco
nomic equilibrium and as long as we
preserve our tempers we shall make
progress. To do this every one must
cool of and carry on. We must stop
snarling and begin smiling. Sanity
will then have more front seats and
more front page. Our conduct viii be
less critical and more constructive. Our
news will be less sensational and more
substantial. The political atmosphere
will be more atnenable and the business
atmosphere will be more buoyant. Pas
sion will subside and prudence win
preside"
Although Senator Tess is to become
more active as chairman Of the Nation
al Committee than he has been during
the session of Congress now closed, the
executive director Of the National Com
mittee, Robert H. Lucas, Is not to be
disturbed, but will continue In his pres
emit ONCE indefinitely. Efforts Of Re-
publican Progressives to have Mr.. Lucas
ousted because of his attempt to bring
about the defeat Of Senator Norris in
the Nebraska election, as shown in the
Nye committee investigation. have been
entirely unavailing, up to date.
It has for long time been no secret
that Senator Fess desired TO be relieved
Of the Craftsmanship Of the National
Committee, feeling that he would be
more free to meet his duties as Sem
ator from Ohio If he were not ma
tional chairman. However, there is a
distinct opposition among the Repub-
lican leaders to frequent changes in
the leadership of the national or
ganization and he has been prevailed
upon to hold on, certainly Tor the
present.
In the space Of two years there have
been three different Republican chair
men-Dr. Hubert Work, who resigned
after conducting the Hoover campaign
in 1928; Claudius Huston, who was
given q great deal of publicity by the
Senate Lobby Committee investigation,
and Senator Fess. A few months ago
there was demand by wet Republicans
that Senator FeSS resign because of his
dry sentiments. But that demand not
only has died down, but it has become
increasingly apparent that whoever
holds the Job of Republican National
chairman is going to, be a dry.
