The 6. O. P. Dilemma

The new chairman OF the RepuDlCdn
National Committee Guy George Gabriel
son, has put forward two objectives-neu-
trality for himself and harmony for the
committee.
Mr.. Gabrielson should not have any
great difficulty being neutral chairman.
He will find it more difficult, as his own
narrow margin of victory indicates, to
harmonic the clashing elements within
the national committee If one assumes
however, that he is successful in attaining
both of these detectives, the COP still will
not have found way out of the political
wilderness in which it has wandered for
almost two decades.
For the dilemma of the Republicans goes
deeper than questions of neutrality and
party harmony. This dilemma was stated
in few words by the retiring chairman
Representative Scott of Pennsylvania. "Un-
til we search our souls" he said. land stand
very clearly in the public mind for things
which people instinctively feel are good
for them, no amount of well-fnanced
public relations will make up for the lack
of such public policy"
There is lot of truth In that state
ment. Governor Dewey has been assailed
by the Old Guard for his "me-too' cam
paigxs Even more vehement were the de-
nunciations of Wendell Willkie on that
score. And in sense the spokesman for
the Old Guard appear to be right. In the
last three presidential elections the Re-
publicans have appealed to the voters,
not as real opposition party, but more
as a party which adopts the essentials of
the Democratic program, promising only
to do a better job of putting them into
effect. And on all three occasions the
voters preferred to stick with the Demo-
Gratis
So when Mr.. Scott says the party must
stand for things which people instinc-
lively feel are good for them," what does
he mean? Is he calling for more of the
me-too approach, or does he have in mind
offering the electorate a clear-cut and
real choice between the policies of the
Democrats and yet-to-be- devised policies
Of the Republicans?
This, in brief is the essence of the COP
dilemma. If it Is going to be an effective
opposition party it must find a program,
consistent with what the people feel is
good for them, that offers some real choice
between the Republican party and the
Democratic party. As yet. there is little
evidence that the Republican policy
makers are capable of devising a program
which is both different and politically
feasible

Sees Ideas of Byrd and Smith
Doomed To Go Down

Doomed To Go Down
To the Editor of The Star:
judge from your editorial. Virginia
Holds the Line" that your newspaper de-
rived considerable satisfaction from the re-
suits" Of the Democratic primary election in
Virginia. Which is OK of course, If that 5
the way you feel about it. However. it is diff
cult for me to understand how you ultra
conservatives rationalize your behavior.
When Roosevelt runs for third or fourth
term, you 60 into fit But when a Byrd is
able to dominate and control State for Is
years. you applaud.
Yes. Byrd is still king. The citadel still
stands and the flag of. the aristocracy still
waves. Nevertheless, the wealthy guards Of
that citadel would do we'll not to become
SNUG and complacent. If they will examine
Gheir structure carefully. they will find some
cracks that never were there before.
And your editorial writer's would do we'll
to check their facts little more carefully.
1t is not true that the anti-Byrd faction re-
ceived a third of the votes. The three candi-
dates running against the Byrd candidate
received a very substantial majority of the
votes. Thus we find that in spite of Boss
Byrd's personal Intervention. his candidate
could command only a minority of the
Democratic voters.

Congress Honors Mr.. Hoover

Congress undoubtedly expressed the
sentiment Of the people of the Nation
when, by unanimous action Of both Senate
and House, 1t extended cordial greetings
to Herbert Hoover on the eve of his
seventy-f1fth birthday. The only living
ex-President of the United States merits
such a compliment, as the text of the
concurrent resolution said, because of "his
devoted service to his country and to the
world" He has earned the appreciation
OF the universal public in terms of unself-
ish labor of high utility and worth.
But the friendly gesture of Congress is
none the less remarkable. The resolution
in the Senate was presented by H. Alex
ander Smith of New Jersey, a Republican
He spoke, however, for Scott Lucas of
Illinois, majority leader, as well as for
Kenneth S. Wherry of Nebraska, minority
leader.
Later, the House took similar action at
the suggestion of Representative Chris
tian: A. Herter of Massachusetts,. His pro-
posal was Endorsed by former Speaker
Joseph w. Martin, jr., who related how
he summoned Mr.. Hoover from a trout
stream In Idaho. to head what since has
been known as the Hoover Commission to
study reorganization of Government de-
partments and agencies in the interest of
efficiency and economy The resolution
was supported by Majority Leader John w.
Mccormack, who explained that he wished
to testify, showing the unanimity of opin-
ion on both sides of the AISLE" by
declaring: 1--WE all join by unanimously
passing this resolution in conveying to
former President Hoover message know
he will always value. He is a great Ameri-
can he is great man, and we Democrats
join with our Republican colleagues in this
public manifestation of congratulations
and respect"
These are generous words. They reflect
an inclusive patriotism and they manifest
spirit of appreciation and cooperation
which men and women of all parties will
wish to share

Puzzled by Effects

A recent letter to The Star expressed
regret that government representatives pre-
vented Little Orphan Annie from using 4
fabulous treasure in building an orphan
haven. This particular incident seems to
me rather less deplorable than certain other
features of the Little Orphan Annie serial.
