Not Parties but Coalitions.
(NeW York World.)

The issue which has now been raised is a real one in American politics. What is the hallmark of Republican? Senator Norris supported the last Democratic candidate for President He is the lead CT of the most persistent opposition to the Repub- lican administration. His right to call himself a Republican rests upon his victory in the Republican primaries in Nebraska In all this discussion there are two conceptions of party. One is that the party label is the property of the national conven- ton which nominates the President and writes the platform the other is that the party label is the property of any majority of voters in primary. MT Norris and his fellow insurgents believe that the party title is derived from the local primaries; MT. Lucas and others think the party title de- iscends from the national convention. These rad- cally different conceptions of party are the cause of many contradictions and confusion in our politics.
 The rough truth of the matter seems to be that instead of the two party system Of the theorists have a system composed of several parties which become two coalitions only for the purpose of elect ing President. The Western insurgents are for legislative purposes a distinct party. So are the Eastern Republicans. So are the Northern Demo- crats. So the Southern Democrats. If we had @ parliamentary rather than a Presidential system there would be pretense that we had VWo parties But the Presidential system is unavoidable with than two parties. Therefore, we have now and have long had what amounts to compulsory coalition into parties every four years followed by natural division into several parties in the intervals between Presidential elections. That ex- plains for example, how MT. Borah and MT. Hughes could both support MT Hoover in 1928, though
 they differ all vital matters of policy. They are both Republicans in the that they both work to elect a Republican executives but in no other sense do they belong to the same party. In
 Mir Norris's there is, of course, not even that much common ground, for he bolted the Presi- dential ticket and if it were expedient to do so there would be justification under our party system of challenging Senator Norriss right to be considered Republican, It is not, however, ex- pedent to do this because legally there is no one to challenge his right except majority of voters in the Nebraska Republican primaries.

Uniform Laws for the Air.
(New York World.)


 The conference in Washington called by Secre- tary of Commerce Lamont to consider the need of uniform air regulations by the several States found most of the experts attending, headed by Colonel Lindbergh, heartily favoring such uniformity while recognizing the difficulties of such legislation as seen by the the ground.
 To the man in the air State line is nothing at all. In single day he may fly dozen States and land in half dozen. He may not a- ways know-in kinds of weather he certainly will not always know-what State is beneath him. At present he needs to know what State he is not otherwise be know whether he may fly at 50 feet altitude over towns 1000 feet or at any height he wishes Some States, like Connecti- cut, have carefully framed regulations for airmen Most of them have not.
 The need of something like uniformity of air codes is fast increasing the number of aviators increases and the improvement of planes and navi- gatng instruments adds to the speed and multi plies the daily mileage of the shoals of machines along the great air highways The matter should receive prompt attention in the States that have been backward in air legislation. Some of the States may still have few pilots of their own but all of them lie in the path of pilots from other States whose way should be cleared of law confusion

THE HOUSE CAUCUSES.

The caucuses called by Democratic and Repub- can leaders in Washington for next month to dis cuss the organization of the next House of Rep resentatives undoubtedly will be interesting but hardly conclusive. Neither party is of power to organize at this time it be certain be- fore the of the next session if Congress does not convene until next December. If special ses- sion is called immediately following the adjourn ment of the present term on March 4 the Repub- hcans probably will control the organization.
 At present personnel of the next House is 218 Republicans 214 Democrats and one Farm-Labor member with two vacancies. Two Democratic Rep resentatVeselect have died since the election last November Death is to call others before next December, and in the filling of such vacancies 'ests the control of the next House The caucuses can designate the various officers of each side, but whether the Democratic Republican speaker-desig nate will occupy the chair graced by MT. Long worth will not be determined for months to come

read in it indication that MT Coolidge is taking this means of expressing a willingness to be the Republican Presidena candidate in 1882 should the East decide that for good and sufficient cause, such as farm relief and the noble experiment" it can no longer ride in the bandwagon as President Hoover Probably the wish is father to the thought. Nothing in MT. Coolidge'5 lttitude
 in the past two years supports the theory, and it is in direct contradiction to utterance in one of his first writings after leaving the Presidency which was to the positive effect that never again would he be a candidate for public office.
 The criticism of price begging and government interference likely written by him co defend his policy during his tenure of the White House. In it he simply restates position which he took firmly on number of ocasions, and particularly in the matter of Government relief to the agricultural industry In the main the soundness of the Coolidge theory was never suc- cessfully challenged.

ALL DOUBT IS SETTLED.

Weeks ago. it became apparent to mosG observers, that Pilot Pat Renahan and his companions, Samuel Clerf and Frank Hatcher, enroute in the seaplane Skagway from Seattle to Northern British Co., lumbia to search for missing plane, had met With q fatal disaster Unheard from since October 28 as days stretched into weeks and then months, all reasonable hope that they might have been forced down in the Northern wilderness without serious harm dwinded and vanished Only the most optim- istc dared to entertain further hope It was merely a question of whether the cause and scene of their disaster would ever be determined.
 It was this doubt that has kept the search for them alive so many weeks. Until it wiped out there would inevitably finger in the minds os some an idea that possibly forced landing had been made under such conditions as to prevent the party from communicating with the outside world And until the question settled, the Alaska Washington Arways very properly maintain ed it search.
 The finding, first of spare wheels carried by Pilot Renahan and now of wreckage from the plane itself both on Annette Island resolves all doubt and answers the question of where and, prob ably how The tragedy must have occurred in the proximity of Annette Island, only a few minutes flight from Ketchikan and port of safety And as Anscel Eckmann has pointed out, it is probable that Renahan was forced to fly low over the water by fog, and his plane struck a nose-diVed into the sea from other It is virtually certain that the plane did not land Annette Island. Had it done and cracked up, the wreck age and the bodies of victims would be there to tell the their story
 The death of these men was untimely But il adds to the glory of aviation. It was not the result of stunt flying, through inexperence of pilot or unservceability of plane. It came to men who were endeavoring to brothers in distress who took to the air despite the hazards of unfavorable weather conditions whose danger they realized more fully than groundlings Had they been successful Pilot Burke would have been rescued before he too died from exposure and exhaustion, and -eturn ed to his home alive with his companions who were later saved by Pilot Wasson Death must come eventually to everyone and Pat Renahan, Samue Clerf and Frank Hatcher could have met in nc nobler fashion.

COOLIDGE ATTACKS MAJOR HOOVER
 POLICY.

Tn of his syndicated newspaper articles ap- bearing recently President Coolidge sharply criti cised one of the major policies of the Hoover Ad- minisration. The object of his attack was the pricepegging operations of the Federal Farm Board in which hundreds of millions of dollars of public funds have been expended in unsuccessful effort 10 stay the decline of wheat prices.
 In commenting on this subject, MT. Coolidge wrote
 In the field of business whether of in dustry of agriculture, government inter ference in attempt to maintain prices out of the treasury is almost certain to make matters worse instead of better It dsorganizes the whole economic fabric It is a wrong method because it does not work. It is better for everyone in the end to let those who have made losses bear them than to try to shift them to someone else. If we could have the courage to adopt this principle recovery would be ex- pedited Price~fb<ing, subsidies and govern ment support will only produce unhealthy business.
 This unquestionably represents the viewpoint of the financial and industrial East Some politicians

 Wasson is only 24, and he's starting out in life under helpful and encouraging auspices When others doubted and questioned the wisdom of keep ing up the search, Wasson faltered in his self appointed task. He's entitled to all the rewards that come to him.

STOCKS IN RALLY
. ON FINAL TRADING
Bear Faction Retires When
Attempt to Depress
Prices Fails.
BIZ GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June 16. - The bear
forces, recently quiescent, emerged from
retirement today and tested tho, resist
ance Of the stock market. TIL offered
stocks freely during the morning and
prices reacted rather uniformly, but the
selling dried up in the afternoon and
in the last hour the list rallied, leaving
OF higher on the day. 1t was rather
damental change In the technical po-
sition during the last two weeks.
Railway shares led the movement in
both directions. They were heavy and
lower during the first half Of the day,
but rallied easily toward the end. Amer
lean Can was strong most of the tire
Chrysler was the favored motor stock
while American Telephone, which had
been the object of more bearish advice
than any other stock on the list, except
possibly United States Steel, recovered
as easily as it had declined, closing at
an advance.
It was difncult to connect the down,
ward trend In the early trading with
anything in the news. The German
situation was better, the Berlin Bourse
was strong and the resignation OF the
Bruening Cabinet was believed to have
been averted The stock market, how
ever, left 1t to the bond market to re-
feet this improvement.
Some unsettlement' may have been
caused by the damage to the crops from
drought in the Northwest and in Cam
ada. That may have, been one of the
causes Of weakness in Canadion Pacific,
which sold down approximately to the
lowest Of the year. The roads dividend
was cut in two in May and 1t Is highly
improbable that there will be any FUR
'ther change with the season approach
ing when 1t should normally show an
upward trend. Nevertheless the stock
was freely offered.
Doubt about success OF o rate increase
in the United States may have de-
pressed the rest Of the rails, as It prob
ably did the railway bonds. The re-
action. however, was more likely due TO
Inc efforts Of. the bear faction to test
the resisting power of the market now
that the recovery seemed to have
halted. The selling looked like profess
sional attempts to depress prices rather
than liquidation.
Besides Canadian Pacific. rails that
sold of more or less included Atchlson,
Baltimore 81 Ohio, New York Central
and Pennsylvania. In the motor list
1t was General Motors that was singled
out for attack. but the stock yielded
only o point or so. although offered In
large tblocks Strong resistance was
made by Chrysler on reports that the
corporation is about to bring out q low
priced model, competing with the other
makers in that field. Independent mo-
tor shares generally held well.

U. S. GOLD SUPPLIES
AT RECORD LEVELS
By the Associated Press.

9y the ASoOClAtC0 EEGSSs
NEW YORK, June 16.--The United
States horde Of monetary gold has risen
further to record levels.
The New York Federal Reserve Bank
reported the release Of Sal $4,000 IN
the yellow metal, which had been held
for foreign accounts which means that
this country's goldostock was increased
by that much.
The latest Federal Reserve statement
on total gold stocks In the United
States showed $4,so3, o00, 0Oe, as Of June
10. Late last week $23. 434,000 worth
"earmarked" for foreign account was
released, and 5000 900 was imported
from Canada, in addition to other
minor gold movements.
Therefore, more than 60,000, 900 has
been added to Uncle Sans gold horde,
bringing the total close to 81, 900 900 600.
This is close to half of the world sup
ply Of monetary gold, which is esti-
mated at around $4,000, o00, 900.
No ofhcial explanations OF the large
releases of metal earmarked for for
eign account have been available, but
foreign exchange traders believe q sub
stantial portion of It reflected the use
Of metal held here by Germany TO sup
port the German bank which has
recently had a sharp decline. Foreign
exchange circles also suggest that some
of 1t may have represented use Of
Canadian gold to support Canadian ex-
change, since the Canadian dollar has
recently been under pressure.
An important factor, also, was pre-
sumably the fact that nearly $1l2, 000,-
600 was paid the United states today
by foreign nations as their semi-an-
nual installmentS on war debts.
