the ballots clearly indicated the pee
pies desire for a change of admins
tration and policies dealing with this
momentous problem. What ever is &C
complished in modifying prohibition
will be more by indirection than by
positive multiplying action. The fact
that six or seven states wiped out
their state enforcement agencies last
week will carry weight. 1t is mani
festly impossible for the Federal
authorities to adequately enforce the
dry" laws without some state assist
ance
Going deeper into the major prob
lem you will find that the candidates
for Congress pledged to repeal do not
have to make good until they take
office March A, 1888. The short ses-
sion of the present Congress is so
constituted that the 'wets" could not
muster the required strength to put
through modifying laws, to say nothing
of the two-thirds of both Senate and
House to start repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment. Enthusiasts over
look the high hurdles on this item
must meet in the state legislatures
where ratification will require from
two to five years. The nearest APP
proach to change may be found in
Congressional action amending the
Volstead law permitting the increase
in the alcoholic content-which may
mean beer with kick of at least
four per cent alcohol.
Feeling that President Hoover has
been definitely shelved as the party
leader. old-line Republicans are plan
ming a reorganization which cOntem-
plates removal of HOOyerites from
places of power. The Old Guard real
ize they must trade with the Insurg-
ent Republicans who pulled several
strong bars in the Roosevelt boat this
month. 1t is said that the new group
will take a page from the book of
the victors and work for Republican
triumph two years hence when a
third of the Senate and the entire
membership of the House will bid for
the popular vote.

country, for they realize that it has
bearing on other problems pressing
for a solution, such as disarmament,
tariffs, world trade and the general
economic conditions of this and other
countries.
Generally it is felt that Europe
should pay, somehow and at some
time, but it is also understood that
the present American high tariff has
been ruinous to the trade of other
countries cutting them off from COM
mercial profits out of which war-debt
payments are to be met.
Moratorium.
A group of business men, headed by
Alfred P. Sloan, president of the Gen.
eral Motors Corporation, suggests-for
the sake of American trade-that re-
adjustments be made.
Among members of congress, Sem
ator William e. Borah of Idaho. thinks
that proposals for postpOnements or
for a new moratorium should be ac-
companied by program calling fox
radical reduction of ornaments i'm
the debtor countries.
Others, again, are inflexible in their
demands that the money be paid as
per schedule, while still another group
feels all such debts ought TO be cam
celed outright.
Explosive Stuff.
While America and Europe are try
ing to find means of settling this deli
cate question, affairs of Asia are
again attracting attention since the
League of Nations in Geneva has be-
gun discussion of the Lytton commits
sion report ON the Chinese-J apanese
conflict.
Both belligerents are pleading their
cause. and the rest of the world is
asked to sit in judgment. But Euro
pean statesmen, realizing how ticklisft
it is to deal with stuff as filled with
explosive potentialities as is this con-
flict, show a tendency to wash their
hands of the whole affair, since any
opinion handed down by the League
is bound to be pretty Intellectual in
practical apple anyhow, and
since no additional commitments are
welcomed just now.

Washington, November 16-Four
months remain before the Republican
army of office-holders evacuate the
stronghold they occupied for IL
years. Many partisans reading the
writing on the wall weeks ago pre-
pared for a graceful retreat. The
main exodus will not occur until the
victorious Democrats have actually
taken over the reins of government
on March 4. Machinery of govern
ment must always operate SO that
Republican officials will be let out
gradually after inauguration day.
Stories are coming to the surface of
the appeals of anxious officials for
their retention because OF their ex-
perience and in spite of their G. o. p.
connections. No one wants to give up
job in these days especially if it
carries a title and SCme compensation.
The civil service has been extended
in recent years to cover many offices.
otherwise the mortality rate among
minor officials would be alarming.
There are devious ways of Offsetting

The defeat of Senator Reed SmO~t of
Utah, opens up an avenue for rich
political patronage. SmCot served
longer than any other Senator and
built up a tremendous system under
which he controlled key positions.
The Utah solOn as chairman Of i'm
portant c. mmittees had the power and
exercised it. His tendency to grab
every Federal job for constituents
brought about the sarcastic comment

WASHINGTON, March %. -
Whether because IL is election year
or otherwise, handshaking with
President Herbert Hoover at the
White House, once eliminated as
waste of time, rapidly is being
restored.
Every day for the last month,
anywhere from two to score or
more Of persons have been received
by the President In his Office at
noon.
Thursday at least thirty person
shook the chief executives hand
and went on their way with smile.
The thrill Of meeting the President
OF the United States brings them
fson1 all parts Of the country for
this brief word, a smile and
fandshake.
All Sorts OF Persons
In Thursdays group, for example,
there we're half a dozen actresses
from New York revue now ap-
pearing in the capital, a policeman
in'tniform, an elderly woman from
Louisiana, families with father,
mother, sister and young brother
all sorts OF persons. They came a
nr.f hour early. some of them, and
took seats on the cushioned chairs
in the lobby until told to line IN.
Patrick McKenna, natty, gray
haired car of the reception lobby
for the last twenty years, takes
them in hand. He sees that they
line up in the lobby. A secret
service attache opens the door to
the Presidents private office.
Just inside. the President, with
another secret service man opposite
him, receives them. He is genial,
smiling and has a word for each.
Groups Growing Larger
How do you do?" he responds to
their bow and greeting. Glad to
see you," he sometimes varies it.
That is all. A quick, though cor
dial, shake Of the hand and he is
ready for the next visitor.
They follow along quickly, with
McKenna outside seeing they go in
single file.
Step along, please" he exhorts
them whenever the line begins to
4 crowd up at the door. Please
don't loiter."
The groups have become progress
sively larger in recent weeks, but
still are far from the proportions
reached during the Coolidge admin
istration, when 200 to 300 persons
each noon filed through the offices
10 shake the Presidents hand.

observers. by the knowledge that
the legislators have made a definite
