throughout Germany will be liber.

Hitler.
The step was taken, Hitler an

Many of those who will be re-

The phraseology employed was
taken to indicate that certain
groups of Communists will not be

VIENNA, Aug. 9 GN.SO
Franz Won Papen, Hitler's envoy
entrusted with the task of max

out for him when he arrives here
next week, it was indicated by
editorials and reports of speeches
in today'S press.
Said the newspaper Stunde:
Colonel Won Papen, when he

himself obliged to walk through

will stand doubts and on the
other side suspicious.
"It will depend on him
whether these doubts and SuS-

HOW,S YOUR GEOGRAPHY

Few of us know much about geo.
graphy, except in most vague way, and
this being the case little inquiry into the
latitude and longitude of various places
often reveals facts which are somewhat
surprising, as a few examples may illus
trate.
We think of Sunny Italy, as a warm,
southern country, yet Rome and Chicago
are in exactly the same latitude. Other
pairs of places of equal latitude are Paris
and Quebec; Berlin and Attu Island,
Alaska; New York and Istanbul (Con-
stantinople); Florence, Italy, and Toronto,
Canada. Venice, famed for its canals, is
in the same latitude as Montreal.
In the matter of longitude, also, our
casual impressions often might be found
faulty. A classic example, pretty well
Known by this time, is that the Pacific end
of the Panama Canal is farther east than
the Atlantic end, owing to the peculiar
curve of the isthmus. 49,
Due to the eastward sweep of South
Americas western coast, we find San
tiago, Chile, to be 200 miles farther east
than New York. Reno, New, is farther
west than Los Angeles Washington, d.
c., is due north of Nassau, Bahama Is
lands.
good many persons, when they first
heard of it, were surprised to learn that
Tokyo, Japan, is some LOO miles farther
east than Manila, Philippine Islands.

NEW PARTIES PROPOSED
(Bradenton Herald)

A Washington publisher recently
called for the formation of new political
party in the United States, with opposition
to the general trend of the new DEAF as
its main platform plank.
Such party he says, might be called
The Constitution Democratic party" and
would replace the existing G. o. p The
present democratic party he would re-
name 1.-The Socialist Democratic party"
The reshuffling he advocates thus would
give us two new national parties to take
the place of the ones we have.
1t has been one of the axioms of
American politics for a good many years
that there is little real difference between
the two major parties. 1t has been equally
clear that neither has been homogeneous,
and that each one contains stable groups
out of harmony with the majority opinion
of their fellows.
To put through a general shifting of
personnel and principles that would give
us two big parties, each one more or less
united from top to bottom, based on widely
different conceptions of the function of
government in the modern world, might be
an exceedingly healthy development. 1t is
hard to escape the feeling that the actual
trend of things today is in that direction.
We have the western progressives"
in the republican party, who are far closer
to the administration than they are to such
leaders in their own party as Mr.. Hoover
or Mr.. Mills.
On the other hand, it is obvious that
men like Senator Glass and Ex-Governor
Smith are not exactly the same kind of
democrats as President Roosevelt.
Continuance of this trend can do one
of two things. 1t can give us two new
major parties to replace the old ones, or it
can split both parties and give us a group
of half dozen or more blocs, creating a
condition in which no administration ever
could have a majority in congress and in
which compromise and multiplicity of
IDEALS" would be the order.
The recent experience of France is
enough argument against the latter pos
sibility. A republican government works
best on a straight two-party system, with
the two parties Numerically opposed, as a
matter of principle, on major issues.
