Jockeying for presidential place in
the pre-convention campaign is the
order of the day.
With the first presidential preference
primary-in New Hampshire-only
three weeks away, the pace is growing
hotter for the Republican aspirants.
For the Democrats, despite the activi-
ties of that gadfly, Gov. Eugene Tai
madge of Georgia, and the Southern
Committee to Uphold the Constitu-
ton, the denomination of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vice Presi-
dent John N Garner is reckoned as
an assured fact.
Training camps for Republican
presidential possibilities have been set
| up in several cases. Other aspirants
are still dabbling their feet in the
water, waiting to make the plunge.
The candidates. of three gentlemen
have came into the open-Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho: Gov Alf
M. Landon of Kansas, and Col. Frank
Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily
News.
Other Republicans, who may come
more prominently into the presidential
picture as the weeks go by are Senator
Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan.

California and Senator L. j. Dickinson
of Iowa. Senator Vandenberg is re-

Hoover Continues Attacking.
Mr. Hoover, who has persistently
said nothing at all about the presiden-
tial nomination and his own aspira-
tions, if he has any. has been going
his way about the country speaking
steadily in opposition to the New Deal.
His speeches, in the West, the Middle
West and the East have all attracted
attention. His capacity and ability
have had a recrudescene in many
minds because of them. But against
this appreciation of Mr.. Hoover,s abil-
ity is ranged the devastating fact that
he went down to overwhelming defeat
in the political storm brought on by
the depression during his admins

in Republican circles. The gossip
has been of Associate Justice Harlan

Pennsylvania. Only once has a polit-

Court for its presidential candidate.
Chief Justice Hughes-then an asso-

Republican National Convention in
1916. In those days the Supreme
Court did not enter into the political

In fact, it did not enter at all. The

nary requirements, which I have dis
cussed elsewhere, but they have to do
more with the ultimate goal of PAN
Americanism and the future of the
New World than with the more lin
tied objective of an improvement in
the legal and diplomatic peace ma
chinery of the continent.
Key Is in Sincerity.
The proposed pan-American peace
conference, without delving into these
less immediate and much more COM
plex aspects of the situation, may still
make an interesting contribution to
the cause of international peace and,
perhaps. help to remove some Of the
obstacles blocking the way to the
ultimate, true pan-Americanism.
Whether or not it does so will depend,
largely, upon the extent to which the
people and public opinion of Latin
America have been sold on the sim
cerity and possibilities of the con-
ference.
1t must be quite evident today that,
no matter how graciously and eagerly
the Southern governments may lend
their official support to any and all
new attempts at American CO.
operation, no effective and lasting
progress will be made until Latin
American public opinion has been won
over. This is even more important
than enlisting popular support in this
country, where the fault is indifference
and ignorance, while down there 1t is
suspicion and resentment aroused by
past experiences. In the United States
the task is one of education. In Latin
America it is one of vindication.
And here-not in the agenda of the
projected conferences where the
Monroe Doctrine comes in. still
maintain that the misunderstanding
and bitter misinterpretation and mis-
use of the Monroe Doctrine have Gre
ated constitute today the greatest bar
rier in the way. No other single act
would contribute more to dispell the
lack of understanding and promote the
friendship Of Anglo-Saxon and Latin
America than the final elimination Of
the Monroe Doctrine, old-fashioned,
distorted beyond recognition, super
fiuous in itself and, which is worse, q
potential source Of new misinterpreta-
tions and abuses in the future. But
the removal of the doctrine, its burial,
is the concern alone. indeed the privi-
lege, Of the government which gave It
to the world and which refused SO per-
sistently to share its responsibilities
with any one.
The job is not for q Pan-American
Conference, but for the successors of
President Monroe, and that is, pre-
cisely, why it means 50 much to the
future Of inter-American relations.

out, strict neutrality was enjoined
upon the German press. Later. when
the fortunes of war seemed to turn
the British viewpoint was clearly dis
cernible.
More recently, however, the pro-
Italian party seems to be in the as
cendancy. Goebbels is credited with
being the head of this faction. For
theological reasons he deems it essen
tial that Mussolini obtain support from
the third Reich, for fascism after all,
has been a powerful argument in favor
of the authoritarian, not to say dicta-
torial, idea.
There Is even apprehension in large
section of the diplomatic corps that
Italy and Germany have come to so
close an arrangement that it might
well be called an alliance. Even the
terms of the alliance are openly talked:
Italy will no longer interest herself in
Austria, thus giving Hitler free hand
to nazify it: and Germany will support
italian colonial claims even to the ex-
tent of claiming colonies for herself as
a parallel action intended to fortify
the Italian position.
Sees Only Hope in Britain.
While Goebbels and his adherents
favor close relations with Italy, an
other group, headed by Ambassador
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, apparently
believes that Germany's only hope lies
in a rapprochement with Great Brit
tain and. if possible. France. This
group saw to it that the death of King
George was made what seemed almost
to be a case for national mourning in
Germany.
This group also inspired an anony-
nous article recently in the "Ber-
liner Tageblatt," the purport of which
was to show that Germany might
consider re-entering the League of
Nations provided certain reforms
were made. 1t is claimed that Goeb-
bels was so incensed at this article,
which crossed his policy of going with
Italy and staying out of the League,
that the authors license to continue
to write for publication was Cancelled.
German foreign policy seems for the
moment to be one of soaring Great
Britain into concessions. The threat
to occupy the demilitarized zone and
the approval of Italian war aims
are, like the demand for colonies, be-
lieved by some diplomats in Berlin to
be intended merely as thorns in the
flesh of Great Britain. As added evi-
dence the fact is cited that German
relations with Japan. another poten-
tial enemy of England, are demon
stratively cordial.

BY GASTON NERvAL.

TINE President of the United
States has written to the heads
of all the Latin American gov
- ernments asking their reaction
to the suggestion of calling special
pan-American conference to deal with
the organization of peace in the West
ern Hemisphere.
Contrary to the first sensationalistic
news reports, the Presidents letter to
his colleagues on the other side OF the
Rio Grande does not mention at all
the Monroe Doctrine, and is merely
confined to express in general terms
the desire to hold conference OF all
the American states with view to
consolidating and perfecting the exist
ing peace machinery in the New World
This, in itself, is a large order, but
the psychological moment for under
taking 1t seems to have been appro-
priately chosen. On the one hand, the
precarious condition Of world peace,
with actual warfare In progress on two
fronts, and considerably more serious
threats looming in the horizon. would
add great significance to anything the
American Continent may do to
strengthen the ideal of organized peace
and the machinery to enforce it. On
the other hand, due to the radical
changes in the State Departments re-
cent policies toward Latin America,
and even though the people themselves
may be just as far apart today and
just as ignorant of each other as ever,
the official relations of the Govern
ment of the United States with the
governments of the Latin American
republics are going now through a
period of exceptional harmony and
good will.
Many Issues Arise.
Under these circumstances-and
any student of inter-American rela-
tions will agree that no one can tell
how long they will last-several I'M
portant issues suggest themselves as
topics for a conference designed to
preserve and perfect the peace ma
chinery of the Western Hemisphere.
Outstanding among them should be
the ratification and unconditional ac-
ceptance of arbitration and concilia-
ton treaties already signed but sell
dom complied with; the establishment
of a pan-American court of justice to
settle all political and legal disputes
arising between the governments OF
the American republics or between an
American government and the citizens
of another American country; the
contractual enactment of the doctrine
of nonrecognition of territorial gains
bv force: the adoption by all the
American states of the nonagression
formula advanced by President Roose-
Welt. forbidding the sending Of armed
forces beyond. national boundaries;
the enforcement of the Kellogg pact
and other now teethless instruments
for the outlawry Of war; the estab-
ishment of pecuniary tribunal for
the settlement of all financial and
commercial differences, following the
nrinciples of the Calvo and Drago doc
trines: the discussion and enactment
of the Mexican peace code, the most
complete and realistic proposal yet
drafted along these lines.
Of course, these things alone could
not sufice to insure the preservation
Of American peace with any degree Of

party, as it has today. To go to the
Supreme Court in the present New
Deal crisis for an anti-New Deal
candidate would be to drag that
tribunal into active politics to de-
gree never before contemplated. In
cidentally, it may be mentioned that
both associate justices whose names
have been mentioned are from the
East, and the dictum which has gone
forth this year is that the Republican
nominee must hail from the West.
Borah Sets the Pace.
Senator Borah, whose hope for the
nomination turns on the chance of
a popular uprising of the people, and
particularly of the liberals in the Re-
publican party, has set the pace for
entering those States where primaries
are held for presidential preference
and for the election of delegates. He
Evening star., 1936-02-16

has given formal assent for the entry
of his name in the Ohio primary,
necessary under the State law. He
has permitted his name to be entered
in the Illinois primary, in the Wis
consin primary, in the New York
primary, and he is prepared to go into
the Oregon primary. He is expected
eventually to go into the West Vir-
ginia and South Dakota primaries.
He is flirting with the idea of enter
ing California. Apparently he has
given over the idea Of going into the
presidential primaries in Pennsylvania
and in Massachusetts,, although he
has friends and supporters in both
States. The other States in which
presidential preference primaries will
be held are New Hampshire, Mary
land and New Jersey.
