F. r. Kohoutek of Max calls at The
Tribune office and reports that num-
erous Communist meetings have been
held recently in and about the Nc
Lean county town.
The burden of the talks, some OF
them illustrated, is the wonderful ad
vantages of the Russian system as
opposed to our own. Every compari-
son made by Communist speakers
finds the United States at disad-
vantage. Russia is pictured as a
land of milk and honey In which the
common man has much better op-
portunity to enjoy the good things oi
life than is the case here.
Kohoutek says he doesn't believe

that successful football takes too great

CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTOl
In A Trying Situation

y
There will be little general SYM
pathy with the mendacious attack of
Representative Louis T. McFadden OF
Pennsylvania upon President Hoover
However opposed anyone is to tie
policies of Mr.. Hoover, no one can
question his patriotism or devotion to
duty. Few presidents have been in a
more trying situation. He is being
blamed and reviled for a world Sit
uation aggravated Of course at home
by political manipulation, and in
trigue.
When Congressman McFaddell
charges the President with selling
out his country to Germany, he in
dulges in mere twaddle. Such state
ments from men in position of auth
ority merely brand them as useless
and inefficient public servants. Nc
Fadden has ceased to be of any USE
to his constituents His extravagant
and untrue charges fall by their own
weight. They increase rather than
diminish President Hoover's prestige.
There are several lines of attack
upon the Republican administration
as reflected in the leadership Of Mr..
Hoover which are legitimate ard
timely. There is a woeful lack OF
harmony among the Republicans but
Oh the other hand there Is no fixed
program presented by the Democrats
sparring for political advantage.
1t is to be deplored from the Re-
publican standpoint that President
Hoover has no political qualifications
for the office. He is great execu-
tive, used to managing a board of di-
rectors and having his orders car
ried out without much debate or op-
position. His long residence in
Washington has not made him skilled
in the uses of politics and he knows
little of the rules of the game. This
ignorance has made his position
doubly hard.
His powers of analysis are keen
He has summed up what is wrong with
the world, but his skill in leadership
is not sufficient to meet the crisis
There is little of the peacemakel
about him despite his Quaker back.
ground. He dislikes political strife
but has no skill of the Penrose, the
Crane or the Hanna to bring enc
mics into camp.
Successful presidents have gradu'
ated from the ward school Of politics
up through the various stages int
what is supposed to be the gradual;
school Of craftsmanship. Presiden
Hoover remains the great engineer
keen of intellect and a master II
putting his finger on what is wrong
but lacks the personality and driving
force to sell his ideas to men who ar
always politicians. It is his misfor
tune. It may prove the nation
