This Unsafe Globe
(san Francisco Chronicle)


 One reason, perhaps, why the inhabitants of region visited by natural catastrophe do not move away is that they would be liable to similar dangers anywhere else they might go After eruption of Vesuvius the people return rebuild their homes if they can find them or build new West Indian city flattened by hurricane rises again JapanesS town overwhelmed by earthquake is rebuilt. The people go on in their accustomed haunts. If they went elsewhere there would be some other danger
 This is an unsafe globe It is perous to its irl- habtans not only in the places known to be subject to focds tornadoes tidal waves, earthquakes vol canic eruptions but in all other places well in cuding those that might be considered least likely to catacysmic visitation.
 If it is not sne thing it is another Who wouid have expected disaster at Juneau? Perhaps there was known possibility of danger from the mountain side but if so we never heard of it. And if it had been known people who had occasion to live there would have gone on living there It is the human way to take chances with the perils of this earth we - habit.
 Verify, do nothing else, for there are perils everywhere, no matter how Nature may smile.

THAT POINT OF VIEW" JOB

' In reply-to- the natural. query of what is going to happen to the Republican party in the future fol- lowing its overwhelming defeat at the recent election John D. M. Hamilton, Republican Chairman said five must see that the Republican point of view is fairly presented" But the main bane of MT Hamil- tons life it appears is finding just what that point of view is. It that within the minority organi- zation there continues several viewpoints at least two potents ones which probably had good deal to do with the showing made by the party at the last election. One of these is the Landon viewpoint and the other the viewpoint of the boys who financed the Republican campaign in no half-hearted manner
 Political writer Arthur Krock discussing the out look in the New York Times bringing out this inter- esting angle
 Eastern leaders = the mythical "Oiu
 GuardsInen' = gave the country boys their
 head at Cleveland and for while during the
 campaign, either in the belief that this was
 the only chance to win. or that, in the inevi- table defeat, they would rather march in the
 rear rank. But since the bulk of MT Landon's
 popular vote came from east of the Mississippi
 and the electoral votes of the future are still
 in reservoir in this region, these leaders will
 insist on donning their uniforms again
 Of course, according to the rules of the po-
 htical game MT. Hamilton will stay on as
 chairman long enough for face-saving, and MT
 Landon will remain titular leader But there
 is an ex-titular leader in Palo Alto who must
 be dealt with And those who are asked to fi-
 nance the national committee will insist on managing it, if only behind the scenes. They
 incidentally, are rarely country boys. On the
 whole, there is lot to be done before the
 point of view is formula ed and the chair ran gets to work on "fair' presentation.
