Uncle Sani's Dispute -.
Secret Confdbs
Nv RODNEY BUTCHER

ton with which the United states
has any serious dispute is Mexico,
and secret negotiations are produc-
inc seeming Improvement on
that front
Exchange of notes have shown
the two countries to be miles apart
in the row over MeXico's failure to
pay fer appropriated American
owned lands.
But Mexican officials are indi-
eating that they want a settle
ment but a settlement on
tnelr own terms. Just the same,
patient State Department officials
anxious to avoid a break with the
neighboring republic-think they
are getting somewhere in oral ne
go,iations.
MeXlcos chief concession has
been agreement on the principle OF
4 commission to determine values
OF seized land.
Washington continues to insist
that Mexico put up certain
amount of money to be held III es-
crow pending settlements and 10
urge that there be no more eXpro-
priation without prompt compensa-
lion Mexican negotiations show
signs of loosening up on the first
point by offering coUnter-propoSa'S IS.
Senator William -. McAdoo Will
have TO serve few weeks more OF
his expiring term in order to help
elect the man who defeated him
in the Democratic senatorial prl-
mary. Sheridan Downey.
McAdoo accepted defeat SO bit
terly that this probably will give
him no great pleasure But there
doesn't seem to be much he can dc
about 1t.
The senator has just been ap-
rointed chairman Of the board OF
the Dollar Steamship Line, follow
ing its reorganiza ton by the Mari
time Commission His friends
gave out word that he would re-
sign within a week or 10 days.
Someone-it isn't clear who, but
it probably was a quick-thinking
Democrat friendly to Downey-got
on the wire to the White House.
If McAdoo quit the senatorship
now. it was pointed out, the Re-
publican governor of California
would Immediately appoint the Re-
publican senatorial nominee, Philip
Bancroft, to the seat. And that
would give Bancroft real psyche
logical and practical advantage.
The President fixed it up al
once. McAdoo won't resign until
after tile election.
Mr.. Hoover announced many
weeks ago that he would make 8

WILL THERE BE A
NEW DEAL PARTY?

The New Deal was inaugurated by
process of anna lgamatiOn; will it be per-
petuated by a process of elimination?
Franklin Roosevelt started with a pro-
gram which pulled in Republicans like
Wallace, Norris, Ickes, and the La Fol
lettes; he continued with one which
pushed out Democrats like John w. Dav-
IS and "Al" Smith; will he finish with
party which has no place for Glass,
George, Tydings, and Wheeler? Will he,
can he form a new party?
The question is likely to follow from
the Presidents press conference remark
about having no objection to the election
of good liberal running ON the Repub-
lican ticket" But it would be a mistake
to Jump to the conclusion that Mr. Roose-
Welt is abandoning the Democratic Party
and launching a new national party of
Roosevelt liberals" Soon after the 1920
campaign in which he ran for vice-pres-
ident, Mr.. Roosevelt expressed the hope
that political division along liberal and
conservative lines could be established
in the United States. He has gone far
toward making over his own party in
the direction of his own definition of lib
eral.
The latest public breaks with conserva-
lINo Dt1llOCIdlS CelI lllS plOCtSS d SlCp
farther Yet they also illustrate the
truth of remark Mr.. Roosevelt is re-
ported to have made in connection with
the South Carolina primary: 1T takes
very long time to bring the past up to
the present" With "copperhead" and
''carpetbagger" being revived for pres
ent political purposes, Civil War issues
and prejudiceS may prove as effective
in keeping SOutherners from joining a
New Deal party as from joining the
Republican.
The South may not be ''liberalized'
until it is industrialized. And then Thon-
as jefferson would probably never recog-
nize the kind of liberals" that develop
out of Labor's rise to political power
Certainly he would dfsown many of the
city machines without which Mr. Roose-
welt could not put through his program
The Hague 'liberals'' in New Jersey, the
Nash-Kelly "liberals'' in Chicago, the
Pendergast ''liberals' in Kansas City
Mr.. Roosevelt has to do business with
all of them when candidates are chosen
or legislation considered.
He has shown his distate for them, but
politically they are more dangerous to
purge than the southern conservatives.
He will have as much trouble getting rid
of them as Governor Landon did trying
to shed the corporation moneybags and
discredited Old Guard Republican sena-
tors in his 1886 campaign. And it is
entirely likely that Mr.. Roosevelt will
use considerable discretion in selecting
the good liberal" to whom no objection
will be made. He might have to go slow
in building a liberal party that men back
ed by these city machines would still
receive his support regardless of who the
Republican candidate may be-
A liberal conservative line up must
overcome a lot of local politics as we'll
as hoary traditions. And when it comes
it will be the result of tremendous social
and economic changes rather than of a
Presidents chance remark.

Gov. James V. Alfred of Texas
spoke to the point when he warned
the recent National Conference OF
State Governors that various state
taxes are creating serious interstate
trade barriers.
The states, remarked Governor
Alfred. are forbidden to erect tariff
walls. Yet in many cases they are
doing what amounts to the same
thing by use of tax laws.
Some states levy sales taxes on
materials manufactured in other
states. Ports of entry at state
boundaries have made their ap-
pearance. And these things, said
the governor, ARE liable to pro-
mote economic provincialism if they
increase at their present rate"

Imperial Valley press., 1938-10-07

The development of these restric-
tive laws is easy to understand.
One state wants to develop its
home industries. The products of
a neighbor-state compete with these
industries; perhaps the neighbor en-
ioys certain economic advantages
which enable it to produce these
things more cheaply. So the first
state levies a tax on goods from its
neighbor. 1t sets up highway pa
trolls to check on goods which are
trucked in. In every way possible
it tries to preserve its home mar
ket for its own producers.
All natural enough, certainly -
and logical enough, too, up to a
certain point.
Yet this trend will inevitably lead
to economic disaster if it is not
soon checked.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Feb. 81
G.NSO.-President Roosevelt To-
day carefully weighed fast-moving
European developments against
continued American peace and
security.
His well-guarded 500-acre family
estate on the Hudson afforded
ideal seclusion for the President
as he pondered future foreign
policy. It was known that Mr..
Roosevelt was in full possession
of German Chancellor Hitler's ag.
gressive speech and word of British
Minister Anthony Eden's resigna-
ton.
No information was forthcom-
ing, however, concerning President
Roosevelt's reaction to Hitler's
militant speech to the ReichStag,
which foreign dispatches inter.
.preted as a bold gesture in further
ance Of a German-Japanese-Italian
alliance.
While Hitler was demanding
return of German colonies lost in
the World War and giving his
blessing to Japan'S conquest of
China land London was producing
a definite rift in the British gov
ernment), Mr.. Roosevelt assem-
bled the vestrymen of the st.
James Episcopal Church for a
quarterly meeting at the Hyde
Park house.
Reporters accompanying tn e
President on his brief vacation
here were assured the Executive
was devoting himself to a COM
