Colncldentaly, the powerful support
OF the CoWles brothers of Des Moines,
newspaper publishers, was thrown to
him. They had heard him speak at a
newspaper publishers meeting in New
York and had been immensely impressed
with his ideas and his personality. They
wondered, though, whether he would be
able to sell himself to the rank and file
Of the voters of the Middle West. To
try him out they arranged for him to
speak to gathering of Republican
workers in Minneapolis and week later
to big meeting in Des Moines. In both
places the results were pleasing, both
to the Cowles brothers and to the can
didate.
The movement got boost from Will
kies appearance on an information,
please" program, where he showed a
range of information matching that of
the regular performers, and another
boost-something of a political sensa-
tion-when he received 10000 write-i
votes in the New Jersey Republican pri-
mary carried by Dewey, the only candi-
date listed on the ballot. In some of
the commuter suburbs of New York
City, Willkie actually got more votes
than Dewey.
All this adds up to a conviction on
Wilkes part that he has genuine
chance to win the nomination. The
politicians are beginning to look him
overland look him over as something
more than a political freak
The delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention from Missouri got
a closeup of the candidate in ST. Louis
Thursday. Prior to that, he says. he
had been visited by groups OF delegates
from Is States and had received from
many of them pledges of support.
Taft or Willkie?
1t is Wilkes idea that neither Taft
nor Dewey, though they will start off
with sizable blocks of delegates, can
get the required majority. He thinks
Vandenberg is out of it. Dewey, in his
prognosis. will begin to lose strength
after the first ballot and the choice ,slti-
mately will rest between Taft and
Willke.
Wishful thinking? OF course. There's
something in the acclaim of crowds that
makes every presidential candidate feel,
at times, that the finger of destiny is
on him.
Willkie is getting now his full share
OF the f1attery that goes to every man
who looks as if he might win the great
est OF our political prizes. He has kept
his feet on the ground-but he, too, has
his rose-tinted moments. So he sees
the race simmering down to himself
and Taft, and himself the winner
Why? Because, he thinks, the con-
vention will decide that he, rather than
Bob Taft-good man though Taft isis
the right man to be chosen to get out on

Islanders Move Awov

the National Geographic Society. The
160 inhabitants of Lopevi, according to
news dispatches, have accepted the in
vitation of their next-door neighbors on
Paama Island to move over, following a
destructive volcanic eruption. Among
the smaller patches of land in the New
Hebrides group, Lopevi and Paama Is
lands are more than thousand miles
from Australia. the nearest continental
land mass. The chain includes some
30 islands and islets. On Lopevi. a VOL
canic cone rising 5000 feet, frequent
eruptions have caused much distress.
The New Hebrides Islands are under
the joint domination of France and
Great Britain. with the accent on French
influence. Before 1907, when the French
and British instituted law and order. the
islands were a sort of No Mans Land
With no civil courts to regulate either
marriage or commercial contracts, they
were run by various factions strong
enough to assume power. Today, as a
result of the early years of exploitation
and abuse by itinerant whites, including
slavers and unscrupulous traders and
whalers the native Melanesian popu-
lation has shrunk to less than $4,000.
In addition there are about 750 French
men, 260 British inhabitants and more
than a thousand Tonkinese, the latter
largely imported by the French from
Indo-China as laborers.

sidered unhealthful, with a malaria

The Portuguese and the Dutch gained
their empires when the world was new,
and have held them until now.
What it comes to is that the geograph-
ical position Of the nations when the
western world first broke loose from the
long calm of the medieval time has
largely determined the control of the
earth to date. Some shifts there have
been, and some revolutions. But the

Portugal and Spain got the start. Two

recognized as the highest power by all

Balance of Power.
There have been shifts in balance of
power these 500 years. But they have
merely shifted power among the peoples
that were in position to grasp for it at
the moment the captains of Henry the
Navigator opened new doors to unknown
worlds.
The Industrial age has still to estab-
lish any different imperialism. With
75-ton tanks and incredible air armadas,
it may be that this summers celebration
of Portugal's 800-year history and 500
years of empire is close to landmark
dividing the imperialism founded in
exploration and trade from that forged
by new industrial power. If the Ger
mans fail to bring about the world

yet achieved industrial supremacy over

Portugal Is Third Largest Empire

Portugals observance of her 300 years
history, beginning early in June to last
until December, provokes our curiosity
as to the anatomy of empire. We have
been SO often taught that the course of
empire is shifting scene that it is curl
GUS to see Portugal persisting as the third
largest empire in the world 500 years
after the punch of expansive power that
established her grip on so many distant
parts of the earth.
Along with Portugal's empire we might
consider Hollands. It stands fourth, 300
years after the Dutch were a great sea
power. Empires rise and fall, but not all
of them. At the beginning of the last
century Portugal was third in area of
colonies. Spain was first. Spain's empire
has fallen, England's has risen and that
of France.
In Four Continents.
But Portugal still stands third with an
empire of more than 100000 square
miles on four continents, held by ma
ton the size of Maine, with a popula-
tion smaller than New York. Hollands

to be veering toward the isola tionists
He seemed to be against the Allies But
reading between the lines, one could see
In a speech in Dallas last month he
retreated in order to the Allied trenches
And the odd part of it is that his equivo-
cation in Wisconsin was too obvious to
too many people for the Dallas speech
to make the impression it deserved. For
1t was good speech From that hour
the wave of his boom lost its crest
Today it is at full tide, but such tide
as moving seems asleep!"
Mr.. Taft has been frankly negative on
the foreign question. He has given the
impression that it doesn't make any
difference to him who wins the war But
he would not write an isolationist plat
form, and at this hour neither would
Mr.. Dewey. Mr. Willkie seems to be
the only candidate who would frankly,
definitely and consciously wipe out any
discussion of the foreign question be-
yond armament in the Republican plat
form
The foreign issue will unquestionably
dominate the Republican convention
and probably the foreign issue will name
the Republican candidate 1t is difficult
to discuss the academic questions of
changes in the wage-hour law, amend
ments to the National Labor Board Act,
and the control of Wall Street and pub
lie utilities when the guns are booming
in France and may change the course
of American history for the next hun
dred years.
The realities which politicians deny
in words are overshadowing the course
OF the Republican politicians in Phila-
delphia The foreign policy question
may not appear in the platform, but 1t
is in the campaign. 1t will stay until
November whether the war ends or the
cannon keep on booming and the In
satiable war birds keep on laying their
deadly eggs.
The fact that today the Republican
platform writers seem to be afraid to
take stand, fearing the tides of battle
will wipe out their position, shows how
deeply the foreign question has flooded
American politics.

redoubtable Roosevelt A factor in that
decision, he believes, will be the con-
viction that he would be ikeier to carry
New York than Taft-and the Repub-
hcan party must carry New York in
order to win the election.
1t all sounds plausible to hear Willkie
tell it, Maybe there is something in it.
Willkie says that ne would like noth-
ing better than to trade swat for swat
with the President. Therefore he hopes
that if he is nominated, the Democrats
will choose Roosevelt. He says that the
people have a right to hear the New
Deal defended by its author and princi-
pal champion. He would like a clean
cut issue between the two of them That
would be democracy in perfecto flow
ering
A race between Roosevelt and Willkie
would be an epic contest Both of them
have personal magnetism in high de-
gree. Both have political "it" Both
have good radio voices Both know
how to put their ideas across in simple
language. Both of them are scrappers.
From purely histrionic point of view,
a contest between Roosevelt and WillKie
should be welcomed
Wants "DoerS" in Office.
Willkie is obeying the adage which
tells how to deal with a nettle He is
grasping it firmly. He is proud. he says,
to be businessman. He gets little
oratorical here. Business lis the glory
and the hope and the achievement of
America" or words to that effect He
says that what the country wants and
needs in these desperate times, above
everything else is competence-the sort
of competence that it takes to run a
great business enterprise. If we fail to
get this high competence in government,
ger lies in ourselves, not in Hitler. Why
should not businessman offer himself
for the Presidency, to supply this COM
petence? Why should not the country
accept the leadership of man who. like
himself, has a social conscience-by his
at the same time knows the value of
dollar and knows how to make the
wheels 60 round?
He says that the necessity of arn,ing
ourselves-and on that point there is no
quarrel between him and Roosevelt-has
shown the people more than ever before
the need for this kind of man at the
head of the Government The imper-
ative thing, he says. is to turn out the
theorists" who are now running the
Government and put in gang who can
get things done" He believes the people
have come to that way of thinking.
"Just as Roosevelt was out ahead of
trend in 1882, so I am out ahead of
trend now says Willkie. THE politi-
clans are beginning to see this"

Norwood accepted a present of
diamonds, from some agents of the
temple authorities, to write report
in the priests favor, in connection
with the dispute about the boundary
line and the question of who owns
the land that the diamonds came
from. There's your incorruptible

Good-by Norwood! They will hold

physical struggle with Rundhia in
the treasure room was fact
through which slowly emerged
something less than a fact-an i'm
preston. She remembered Run
dhia's eyes when she told him about
the packet of diamonds that she had
seen fall from Norwood's pocket.
She remembered her immediate re-
gret at having mentioned Norwood
and the diamonds, even though she
