Over the week end, Chairman James
A. Farley of the Democratic National
Committee predicted a sweeping VIC
tory for President Roosevelt, using the
results of recent primary elections
and the registration figures in a num-
ber of States to bolster his claims.
He referred to the large vote cast for
Roosevelt in the Illinois primary,
which exceeded by about 100000 votes
the combined vote for Knox and
Borah.
However. it may be pointed out that
the total vote cast in the Illinois pri-
naries was about 100000 short of the
vote in that State in the last presi-
dental election. A great deal will de-
pend, therefore. to which candidate,

HOOVER APPEALS
FORL|bERAL c. O.P.
Says Party Must Rally Those
Who Hold to American
Principles.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE. Calf, April 18.-Her-
bert Hoover told the Young Republic
lican party must become 1.-The true
liberal party of America"
THE party" he said in written
message to the State Convention of
Young Republicans, must furnish the
rallying place for all those, whether
Republicans or Democrats" who be-
lieve in upholding the standard of
American principles"
The former President said the term
liberalism was claimed by every sect
that would limit human freedom and
stagnate the human soul, whether
they be FaSciStS, Socialists or New
Dealers
Says Liberty Threatened.
Liberalism is a creed of ordered
liberty. Whatever the New Deal words
may be, their actions at almost every
point are a threat to the very vitals
of liberty. You cannot extend
the mastery of Government over the
daily life of the people without some
where making it master of people S
souls and thoughts.
'+ Liberty and opportunity do
not flourish on a deficit of $4,000, ,000,-
900 a year They will be diminished
by the taxes which are being deferred
for you to pay. Liberty cannot sur
vive if these vast sums are to be
used to pile up political influence.
Nor can liberty survive continu-
alton Of this ghastly failure in our
country to restore employment when
all the rest of the world has passed
the world depression and proved it
can be cured"
Urges "Open Minds"
Hoover said it would be the Repub-
lican party's duty to formulate "a
courageous and progressive platform
which will point the way to the Amer
ican people for the next generation
He added the Young Republicans
should contribute open minds, fresh
idealism. strength and youthful de-
termination"
That service to our country" he
continued, "transcends all personal in
terest or selfish interest of any indi-
vidual or group Political intrigue
does not comport with the seriousness
Of the times"

the occasion of the formal opening Of
the Texas Centennial.
On June Mr.. Roosevelt is sched
uled to make a speech at Vincennes
Ind. incident to the dedication of
fitting memorial to George Rogers
Clark According to Mr.. Roosevelt's
tentative plans. he will go to Ottawa
directly from VincenneS instead of re-
turning to Washington.
Mr.. Roosevelt insists. however, that
his itinerary all depends on Congress.
Aside from the unprecedented fea-
lures associated with this visit of an
American President across the Cana
dian border at the invitation of the
Canadian Governor General, this trip
will be recognized as being OF the
highest importance.
Those who have discussed the sub
ject with Mr.. Roosevelt know he is
eager to have Canada join hands with
him IN his good neighbor' policy in
the Western Hemisphere. He is am
bilious for even more. He hopes
Canada will fall in line with his plans
for an inter-Ams solidarity and
an all-American bloc for the per-
petuation of friendship and peace
among the nations of North. Central
and South America.
Holds Canada Key to Aims.
Canada S attitude is looked on by
the President as being essential to
the successful outcome of those aims.
Canada is not member of the Pan
American Union and, therefore, will
not be a participant in the forthcom-
ing Pan-American Peace Confer
ence to be held within the next
few months at BuenoS Aires. Be-
ing one of the prime forces in
this, President Roosevelt is anx-
iouS for Canada'S support and there
is every reason to feel that his per-
sonality, along with his logic and per-
suasive powers, will bear fruit in this
respect when he sits down and talks
it all over with Governor General
Lord Tweedsmuit.
The task should not be difficult
Canaoa is known to be sympathetic
toward the peace policy of the United
States and the other republics of the
Western Hemisphere. First of all, the
Canadian government is pledged to a
policy of refusal to enter into any
European war even in the defense
of Great Britain without first con-
sulting the Canadian people. This
would mean that before Canada could
throw hsr lot into war to help Eng
land, the people of Canada must first
have an opportunity to express them
selves by ballot
Discussion Of the reciprocity trade
agreement between Canada and this
country, which was negotiated by Mr..
Roosevelt last year. also is expected
to take place in the conference. There
are certain features of this treaty
which Mr.. Roosevelt probably would
wish to bring up with the hope of
advancing United States trade in
terests.
Waterway Possible Topic.
Among other matters that might
come up is the proposed st. Lawrence
waterway.
BY going to Canada at this partic-
ular time, the President may have
arranged the tentative date by acci-
dent or perhaps by design. At any rate,
if he follows present plans, his Cana
dian visit will be just on the eve of
the opening of the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Cleveland. Be-

OPENS new CLUB


NEW YORK - Chez Josephine
Baker at 1875 e. 45th St.. is now
open. It is the former lie Mirage"
which was formerly Barbara Hut
toms home.
Josephine makes you work. She
gives you balls and bats to fire
around. She gives you streamers
to throw and my how that girl does
work. She does a ten-mile sprint
every night just running from ta-
BILE to table making everyone hap
py She has smile showing her
pearly teeth that makes the dishes
in her dining room look like cut
glass In a cabinet. She is there
and entertaining. not only singing
but dancing and with a personal
handshake. If ever a girl worked,
believe me Josephine does and the
full dress array of customers were
gigantic, and on Saturday night
never mind the opening night-it
was jammed to capacity.
The opening publicity was stu
pendous. the after opening publ
city was gigantic. Josephine Bak-
er received more publicity in one
week than she received through
out the entire run of the Follies.
The orchestra is a grand combina-
ton led by Harry Benson. He is
a second Eddy Duchin at the piano.
Frank Serudi, the famous rest
auranteur of 1S E. Goth St., is in
charge of the cuisine which is by
the way exceptional. Stanley Ray
burn, the personal manager for 10,
works like a Trojan and when not
working, is thinking of what can

Mario is the popular bartender,
formerly of the Club New Yorker
Galen Bogue is the Director Cen
eral of the institution and that
means he oversees everything from
start to finish. Antabol's rhumba
orchestra plays not only sweetly,
but softly. Josephine Bakers sen
sational dance was staged by
George Balanchine, the ballet mas
ter of the Metropolitan Opera. The
two boys who assist Miss Beiler
are Gene Ashley and Willem Van
Loon. son of the famous Hendrix
Van Loon, historian, author, and
poet. The Rocky twins with Hell
en- Gray worked very hard and
landed much applause.
All in all, the opening of Miss

success.
