DIR. Cadnan.

The Rev. DR.. S. Parkes Cadman prob
able was the most notably famous Chris
tian leader of modern times. No other
clergyman ever has been possessed of
talent superior to his for the use of
improved facilities for the preaching of
the Word of God. He was among the
first to take advantage of radio for
sacred purposes, he wrote daily articles
Tor many newspapers during many years,
ne published a lengthy list of books
which appealed to multitudes of readers.
he conducted vast correspondence with
thousands of inquiring strangers
throughout the world and annually in
the most active period of his career he
went on mission tours which had the
cumulative effect of making him per-
sonally known to congregations in even
the most distant communities of the
earth.
Perhaps the explanation of his sue
cess was to be found in his zeal. DR..
Cadman impressed the most casual ac-
quaintance with the earnestness of his
devotion to the cause of Christ. There
was nothing in his life that was not
dedicated to the extension of the King
dom, nothing that came within range of
his vision was exempt from being en-
ployed to that purpose. His spirit
reached out to capture souls as Ma
poleon advanced to take cities or occupv
provinces. Every fiber of his BODY. every
dream of his heart was pledged to the
war on ignorance and sinfulness. He
was tlreless in his labors, relentless in
the passion with which he drove him.
self toward the goal of Christian civili-
cation equal to the need of struggling
humankind. In the end he gave all
that he had, all that he was. rather
than disappoint an assembly waiting to
hear him speak.
News of his death certainly will be sor-
rowful tidings for his myriad friends.
He had believed that there are ten
more good years left for me-" and thou
sands had shared his hope. Yet DR..
Cadman would not wish any one to be
too sorely grieved by his passing. All
that he would desire would be that his
work will 60 on. And that is assured.
His example will inspire other crusaders.
He will be remembered with a burning
gratitude than which there could be no
grander tribute.
But it should be added that the quail
ity of craftsmanship is wanted in any
successor DR.. Cadman may have. The
most compelling thought in his mind in
the past two decades was that of the
crying need for unity-national and in
ternational, secular and religious. Only
few weeks ago he told a dearly loved
comrade: God give us the genius to
pull together!"

There are indications that strong pres
sure is being brought to bear upon Gov.
Landon to make his speech OF accept
ance on July % model Of brass tacks
utterance, devoid of pussyfooting The
idea Is that he should come forward with
plans and specifications conspicuous for
q minimum of generalities and q maxi
mum of concrete statements. So far
Landon has enacted more or less the
role Of a sphinx, as far as any categorical
revelation Of his political faith is con-
cerned The time has now come, 1t is
generally agreed, when the G. Q. p.
nominee must climb down from the
heights of obscurity and uncertainty
about his views and proclaim them in
chapter -and-verSe terms. The KanSan
will make a serious mistake, it is argued,
If he takes refuge in sweeping denuncla-
ton of Rooseveltism either in the con-
stitutional realm or in such fields as
agriculture, relief, monopoly and Federal
expenditure. In each and all OF these
branches of public controversy and ma
tional interest politicians think that the
obligation plainly confronting Landon
is to leave the country with no shred
of doubt as to where he stands and
categorically wherein he promises the
American people better deal than the
New Deal. Topeka advices foreshadow
that the Governor plans to measure up
exactly to these requirements 10 days
hence.
Latest under the political sun is the
launching of 1910 Lehman-for-Presl-
dent boom. It has just been sprung by
DR.. Thomas Parran, jr newly appointed
surgeon general of the United States
Public Health Service, who utilized the
occasion of the recent dedication OF q
New York State tuberculosis hospital to
pitch the Governors hat into the ring.
Commenting upon Lehman's decision to
run for.another term at Albany, Parran
acclaimed him as "a progressive and
humane Governor" and voiced the hope
that the country would have the oppor-
tunity four years hence to vote for him
for President. The Lehman boom, such
as 1t is, got away to flying start with
the tumultuous reception that followed
the New Workers. seconding of Presi-
dent Roosevelts denomination at Phil
adelphia. The demonstration apparently
inspires Chairman Farley to hope that
Mr.. Lehman will make some speeches
far afield from the Hudson during the
campaign.
Evidence that Hoover influence is 100
per cent behind the Landon-Knox ticket
is supplied by the fact that Ray Benja-
min of California, long a confidential
political associate of the former Presi-
dent, has recently been in Topeka for
counsel with the G. o. p. standard
bearer. The suggestion is that Chairman
Hamilton may place Benjamin in charge
of the campaign on the Pacific Coast.
Another ex-Hoover lieutenant, James
Grafton Rogers of Colorado, former
Assistant Secretary of State, has also
been in consultation with Gov Landon.
Presumably he was summoned to give
some advice on the foreign affairs end Of
the Governors acceptance speech.
Father Coughlin has joined Chairmen
Farley and Hamilton as a starry-eyed
ong-range political forecaster. The De-

be hoped that the Qualification of the
"blanketing in" process will be followed
by executive orders actually transferring
Government personnel into the civil

Both party platforms indicate an inten-
ton to repeal them. Public sentiment

Reprieve for Austria.


Germany and Austria have reached an
accord whereby the Reich agrees to
recognize the independence of the rem
nant of the Hapsburg monarchy, each
country pledging itself not to interfere
in the others internal affairs. On the
face of the pact. Austrian sovereignty, as
far as Germany is concerned, is thus
guaranteed against violation for the in
definite future and danger of enforced
union with the Nazi realm is correspond
1ngly reduced. But there Is an all
important proviso. Austria formally
'professes herself to be German state"
and undertakes to bring its political
policies, especially in so far as they affect
the German Reich. into conformity" with
that profession. Elsewhere in the accord
there is significant reference to "the
mutual interests Of these two German
states" Such pledges and such language
strongly suggest that while Hitler for the
time being renounces any intention to
absorb Austria, he continues to look
upon the Danubian neighbor as essen
TALLY German and has indeed persuaded
the Vienna government to accept that
status. 1t is thus difficult to believe that
Austria has received anything but
reprieve. For undisclosed reasons it
has been found feasible not to subject
its independence to immediate execution.
Many will fear that Nazification of the
country has merely been postponed until
such time as Austria's own Hitlerites can
accomplish it, for the agreement specif-
ically recognizes the rights of Austrian
National Socialism"
Various versions persist as to the pre-
else motives that impel Hitler at this
particular juncture to proclaim respect
for Austrias integrity. The most COM
monty accepted theory is that Germany
fears new "encirclement" combination,
including Italy and Russia, formed to
preserve the status quo in Central
Europe and cut off German expansion
toward the Balkans. The Berlin-Vienna
deal precedes by only a few days the
meeting of the Locarno powers at Brus-
sells and later conference designed to
restore the shattered "Stresa 'front.'" BY
show of self-denial magnanimity to-
ward Austria, Germany plainly seeks to
knock the props from beneath the charge
that she harbors aggressive designs to-
ward weaker neighbors.
Speculation is keen regarding the de-
gree to which Italy is partner in the
German-Austrian move. 1t has Musso-
lini's unqualified support, for it relieves
him, temporarily at least, of the menace
of a powerful Germany at the Brenner
Pass. One suggestion is that the way
has now been paved for revival of the
German-Italian-Aust triple alliance
as a counter-balance to the Anglo
French entente. To what extent the
twin dictators of Berlin and Rome have
pooled their interests for mutual ad-
vantage should be partially revealed at
the forthcoming Locarno and Stresa
discussions.
Europe nowadays is thankful for any
thing in the direction of peace-preserv-
ing developments. If the accord with
Austria denotes complete reversal of
German policy, it is a step of undeniable
magnitude, but it is hedged by conditions
that warrant some skepticism on that
score.

clared elected, although the matter was
bitterly fought in Congress and in an
electoral commission. In 1888 Benjamin
Harrison of Indiana, Republican, de-
feated Grover Cleveland of New York,
Democrat, with an electoral vote of 233 to
168, although Cleveland's popular vote
was the larger by 98,017 1t is therefore
perfectly possible that the President may
have larger popular vote this year and
still lose to Gov. Landon, depending upon
how the vote is apportioned among the
States, or vice versa.
The Democrats are making this year a
great drive to line up the Negro vote
for Roosevelt. In past elections the
Negro vote has been very largely Repub-
lican. Two years ago, however, the
Democrats in the first Illinois district,
which has a heavy colored vote, elected

need expect no more Government relief.

power.

INDICATING the extreme sensitivity
of radio to international and
domestic conflict were reports reach
ing here this week that the newly
opened broadcasting station in Jeru-
salem. the first such station in Pales-
tine, was the object of an attack by
Arab revolters during the anti-Jewish
uprisings and had to be closed down
for several hours until order was
restored.
The station was opened last April
by the British government, with two
co-directors-one an Arab and the
other a Jew-to arrange equal broad
casts to their respective populations
Although they are responsible to the
British high commissioner, disagree
ments arose almost Immediately be-
tween the two directors.

radio station and broadcast their pro-

thing in Lima, Peru, in order to
broadcast Leftist propaganda. Accord
ing to reports reaching here, during
the Panama elections this week the
radio stations voluntarily shut down
in order to avoid possible trouble of
this sort.
