Secretary Corden Hull is advocating
a Western Hemisphere League of Nations
without naming it so. Its expressed OBJ
ject is to unite the 81 republics into Union
against any foreign or political invasion
of the Western world. While the mass
population of these nations is illiterate and
in each country form of dictatorship is
necessary to keep peace. progress in educa-
tion is being made resulting in more
democratic rule as time marches on. The
task for the present is difficult but demo-
craey in these countries is attainable to
some degree soon and fully in time. The
psychological moment to start the ball
rolling is now and the eighth Pan-Amer-
lean conference being held in Lima offers

Mr.. FLAcLER'S MONEY
Editor, The Citizen:
In the Times Union of Decem-
Der 9th, under heading, Florida
Politics, on page 4, is the follow
ing item credited to The Key
West Citizen:
"In California milk is 10
cents the quart; in Florida it
is l8 cents, almost double the
cost. They must have more
contented cows on the west
ern coast.
Nothing is said about the con-
tented or discontinued consumers
of this milk at Is to Is cents per
quart from Jacksonville to Key
West, but perhaps that is the rea-
son this item is placed in the
Times-Union Florida Politics
column. There is altogether too
much politics in Florida, even in
its milk.
This item, however, recalls at
tention to that interesting STORY
of Randleigh Farm, appearing
on the editorial page of the
Times Union of November 7th,
and taken in part from the St.
Augustine Record. This tells of
the wonders of the dairy farm of
VIM. r. Kenan, Jr., of Lockport,
N. Y, with hundreds of acres"
and hundreds of prize Jerseys
with "210 production medals won
by his cows. That st. Angus
tine is proud of her part-time
citizen, MIR. Kenan", that it would
seem to be a good idea to induce
Mr.. Kenan to establish a dairy
farm in Florida, that Florida
needs men like MIR. Kenan, and
would be glad to have him lop
off that other town name Qock-
port) and make it just Mr.. Kenan
of Florida.
This is an extremely valuable
suggestion coming from the
imes-Union, not only as to the
dairy to be established in Flor
ida, but more Important-make
Mr.. Kenan a citizen of Florida,
and thus bring back some of the
Flagler millions that Mr.. Flag
Ter tried so hard to keep in trust
for the protection and mainten-
ance of his railroad and hotels,
as his will provided, and Mrs.
Flagler in her will attempted to
continue.
Unfortunately for Florida, and

peal, 50 the Flagler millions went
to the Kenans, the railroad in re-

sion abandoned instead of being

The foreign policy of the Unit
ed States may be clear in Wash
ington but not to the man on the
outside of officialdom. The Presi-
dent scores German treatment of
the Jews, thus creating bitterness
in Berlin, and asserts treaty rights
in China that Japan shows no in
tention of respecting. To what
purpose are these protests? When
Manchuria was invaded the idea
was to deny recognition of any
territory taken from China in
violation of treaty rights? So
what? Well, Japan gobbled
Manchuria, although we do not
recognize her acquisition, and for
the past seven years has been
doing her best to develop it. We
protest her present course in

interests of this country are at

nant rights. What the United
States will do about it., we do not
know. Our diplomatic notes
mean little or nothing to the

Along this line, it is apparent
that Japan, Italy and Germany
are working together in their ag-

powers do not admit an alliance,
held together by the hope of
booty, but their acts in the past
few years demonstrate a common
policy. Thus they are able to
ignore the protests of any single
power and so long as they can
keep other nations from getting

protect identical rights, the era

Republicans generally look to

very high rating to the policy

November, not only advertised
the liberal and conservative diff

So, apparently, from a first

of the Administration course
when Congress convenes next

generally, at the same detectives,

appears conclusive. Those who
have studied the Presidents
course in the past had no other
idea. He is convinced that the
reforms that he urges are neces-
sary to the welfare and continu-
ance of the American system. He
is not likely to turn away from
fight, even with his own party,

Word comes from Texas that
the citizens of that state are
boosting the Vice-President for
the Democratic nomination in
1910. At the same time, through
several sources, comes the word
that Mr.. Garner will have moth
ing to do with any effort to form
coalition with the Republicans
in any effort to hamstring the
New Deal. This conflicts with
the writings of some columnistS
who have had Cactus Jack" sulk-
ing in his tent and leading the
conservative Democrats in under
cover activity against the Presi-
dent. While it is possible that
the Texan might not agree with
everything that has been done, or
the manner of the doing, he is a
straight-out party man and too
good a soldier to knife his own
comrades.

In fact, it ought to be apparent
to all Democrats that the fate of
their party hangs on the success
of the Presidents program. And
whether they like the program,
or not, it is the record of the
party. The Republicans will put
up a candidate to lambast it and
to point out its errors. The voters,
in 1910, will either endorse the
Democratic New Deal or they
will elect Republican President.
There is no other probable out

Gratis, who think they can take
