1t was Mr.. Patrick's argument
that any American, if highly quail
fed, from any State, should be given
due consideration and support for
the presidency by the political
parties first and by the American
people in the general elections
Just as every soldier in the armies
of Napoleon was taught he might
carry a marshals baton in his
knapsack, so every American boy
or until recently-has been taught
he might grow up to be President
of the United States. But an eX-
animation of the records show that
only II States out of 43 have
supplied all the 80 Presidents to
date and that New York has been
the home of seven, Ohio the home
of six and Virginia of five-a total
of l8 Presidents hailing from three
States.
Party Decides.
Under the party system which
prevails in America, to become
President manor woman
must first be nominated by po-
litical party. The most brilliant
man who failed to receive major
party nomination would not have
the ghost of a show of becoming
President. So the whole thing boils
down in the first instanCe-so far
as geography is concerned-to party
tho National n
tions. It,is true that about dozen
States nd I'D presidential preferential
primaries for the selection of dele
gates to the national conventions
and any candidate from any State
may enter such contests. Often,
however, favorite son candidates
have the edge in such primary con-
tests.
The election of the thirty-third
President of the United States is
just around the corner. Already
the politicians are discussing candi-
dates and their qualifications. Geo.
graphical location of the presiden-
tial possibilities is given due con-
sideration. Some States are con-
sidered "pivotal'> either because of
their large electoral votes or be-
cause they represent group of
States with allied interests. agri-
cultural or industrial, or both.
Mr.. Patricks contention is that
the man of the hour the man
best qualified to hold the presi-
dency-too often is not the man
of the State picked by the party
leaders as the best territory from
which to select a candidate. He
may be entirely correct How often
has it been said, for example, that

Julean Arnold, Commercial Attacne
Of the American Embassy in China,
told the Washington Committee for

Mr. Arnold, who has had 81 years

and Japan, insisted that his views

of Americas top-f1ight experts on

"Japan's main object in conquer
ing China is to obtain control OF
her economic resources and indus
trial plans and beat labor down to
subsistence level whereby she can
engage in wide program of cheap
manufacture, Mr.. Arnold explained.
Pointing out that the war in
China came on the Threshold Of
her development from a medieval"
to modern nation, Mr.. Arnold said
that if China remained intact the
United States could expect a rise
in her trade to as much as $780,
