The Van Swerlngen brothers had
' railroad properties that financial
writers called a "three billion dol
lar empire."
Perhapc "three billion" referred
to bonds, watered stocks and other
"securities" of the "emlpre." In any
case, the Van Swerlngens borrowed
forty-eight million dollars on that
' "empire," largely from J. P. Mor
gan ft Co. They did not pay the
forty-eight million dollars, the
whole thing was put up at auction,
the Van Swerlngens bought back
" 'control of the "three-bllllon-dollar
empire" for three million dollars,
one-tenth of 1 per cent of the three
billions and forty-five million dol
lars less than the amount borrowed
, on It.
William J. Cameron, broadcast
ing from Detroit, able to Interpret
Henry Ford's views better tban any
.: body else, finds economic signs "al
ready changed for the better." More
important, the "American mind has
made a remarkable recovery of equi
librium." Ethiopia's king has "about" 2,000,
000 men massed on three fronts, all
facing Italians, and ready for any
thing to happen. Under these condi
tions something probably will hap
pen. Whatever starts must go to
the end. It Is not likely, with Hit
ler preparing for revenge, that
France will sever her present re
lations with Italy for the sake of
distressed Ethiopia.

Washington. Typical of the sort
of thing that has made the Repub
lican narty In New Tork state, im
potent : since the passing of ;t Bill
Barnes from' Its leadership Is the
proposal of Charles Dewey Hllles to
throw the Empire state delegation
to Bertrand ' H.,"onel,.-;"rfi?iidV
Most t Republicans agree ? that
Snell would make . an excellent
President He has force, Character,
and ability. He stays put He
takes advice, hut without eve yield'
lng one Inch on deep convictions, or
yielding to temporary ; expediency.
Never back-slapper, never a nser
of weasel words, he nevertheless
fought his way p through the
house of representatives, and won
the Q. O. P. nomination for apear
ershlD of that body against the
whole strength of the Hoover adv
mlnlstraUon. And his ratner tnm
following since 1932 has never
gretted its choice. n'tiiU$!;$j
But the whole point is that no
one. least of (sll Mr. Hllles, who
proposes to cdmmlt tne New xors
delegauon to Snell, nas tne augnc
Mt Idea that the Repullcan conven
tlon will nominate the able New
Tort representsUve. . The whole
purpose of giving this-wg .flele
eatlon to- Snell Is to hold It away
from Herbert Hoover, to hold It
away from Senator Borah even 'to
hold It away from Colonel Knoxr
for the purpose of permitting an
other smoke-filled room nomination
reminiscent of .1920. ,j vt i s
It Is good old Republican tra
dition DemocraUc tradition, too.
for that matter, that a group of
old nartv wheel-horses can alt
around in a room and do much bet
ter-In picking a candidate than can
either the voters In primaries or
delegates in an nntrammeled "con
vention. In -fact there is so much
history to back it up that there
seems to be some logic In the con
tention, v '- -v
But It Is a tradition which would
not have a chance this-time if it
were not for one thing fear that
Herbert Hoover will win the nom
ination by pure force of lethargy,
Hllles also wants to head oft Borah.
He was distinctly annoyed at. the
recent poll . of the country and
other leaders by Robert H. Lucas,
which showed , such , surprising
strength for the Idaho senator.
It's an Old Feud
This feud goes back to the days
when William Howard Taft was
President, and Hllles was his sec
retary. :, Borah had frequently re
marked that Taft aid, Hllles
wrecked the party. He still thinks
so and Hllles knows It ' Hllles
would not be consulted, much If
Borah were in the White House,
He knows that too. .
Another phase of the situation
is that a great many Nw'.-xo
Repiibircans would, prefer, tie nom
ination of former Senator James
W. Wa'dsworth, now a member-of
the house. Wadsworth, like Snell,
has never equivocated about ' the
New DeaL When It looked as
though opposing 'Roosevelt's pro
gram was little snort oi political
suicide. Wadsworth always backed
Snell In opposing It, not Just by his
vote, but by vigorous denunciation
in sharp contrast With tne num
ber of other Republicans who grace
fully yielded to the storm. -
'It so happens that, neither one
of these outstanding New Yorkers
Is of the boss type, t EHse the Story
of the New York Republican- fiasco
in the last 16 years might be- very
dlnerenf":''
After the passing of Barnes, when
New York bad a Republican gov
ernorV Whitman, and two Republic
an senators. Calder and Wadsworth,
there was a considerable G, 0,,P.
faction which wanted "Wadsworth
to be boss In Barnes' place. An
other faction backed Calder. Cald
er wanted the lob Wadsworth
didn't He didn't want to be both
ered with It But while Calder
went after it Jhe stronger" group,
lnclddlng Snell, backed Wadsworth,
Which resulted in there .being no
Hepuhllcan boss In New York at all,
; Woman suffrage -and prohibitum
divided the leaderlesa party. Cald
er ns defeated for re-election by
Doctor Copeland, and in 1926 Bob
Wagner defeated WadSWottH: "Then
along came Roosevelt: aftd Farley
to build up the upstate Democratic
organisation In: the eountry sec
tions, as Al Smith had already built
It up In the cities,' - , -
And now there is a new compll
cation.'.'- It. looks .as though- a new
schism was about to divide the New
York Republicans. - v ' '
Puzzling Problem ' "
What substltu for AAA farm
benefits and procearing taxes can
the opposition to the New Deal of
fer? 'vSTftv'i i W Vi ,-'if:'--
: That problem Is causing furrowed
brows among would-be candidates
on the Republican ticket against
Franklin D. Roosevelt next year.
It Is also worrying the wheel-horses
of V Mrty tboe thnt are left
who like tremenJonr.ly to feel that
they are powers behind the throne.
Such men. for example, as J. Henry
Roraback of Connecticut the last
of the old bosses. Such men as
Dave Mulvane of Kansas used to be.
Reliable reports from the farm
belt indicate that' the Republicans
must have some substitute some
thing ., that will satisfy the - farm,
ers if they are to have a chance
In that part of the country.;. The re
ports are interesting ' for i another
reason. - They Indicate that; It will
not be difficult to enlist the farm
ers against the New Deal It they
are- convinced they will fare Just
as well without It: v VTK-f.--
- Apparently the farmers, are not
at . all satisfied that the system,
which Is now paying them hand
some benefit? 'jn. return for their
crop restrictions,' Is, sound. . (
i What most of the farmers would
really like would be to have all re
strictions on production removed,
and then have prices for all crops
guaranteed by the government,
prices that would yield them what
they regard a decent return for their
labor and, the nse ot their land.
Appeal to Farmer -"" r
- This sounds more uneconomic
than even the present scheme.' But
It would appeal .Infinitely more to
the farmers, and curiously' enough.
It is almost precisely what was of
fered as a farm plank by For
mer Gov. Frank ,0. Lowden of Illi
nois, and which was so flatly re
jected by Cooiidge, Hoover and Mel
lon. , In short It amounts to the ex
Dort debenture, with Its equaliza
tion fee provision. The only differ-1
ence Is that the equalization fee
part of the scheme does not appeal,
much to the farmers. If any par
ticular crop .were very V large, bo
that a heavy, percentage of It had
to be sacrincea at. n snarp loss on
export sales, then the equalization
fee might easily deprive the farm
er of that fair price he craves, 4
But the farmer is a natural gam
bler. He has to be. He gambles
on every crop . he plants against.
nature. And up to now on the mar
ket price. The farm benefits' for
not raising crops are virtually the
first such thing , the - farmers of
the world have ever. had." j,t

gambling which seems to be in every

of AAA which appeals most to hlnv

Want Longer Hour , j
"Why floesn't the government
work us sixty hours a week and
give' us enough to. live on?" i -
That is the complaint of worker
after worker on the famous Passa-
jnaquoddy tidal project Just out

beautiful Campobello. where Presi

Tfs Just crazy," said a garage

'The government ought .' to work

six days a week. Then they would

"But-modern thought- Is- that

sixty hours a week,' suggested the
writer. ;,
Say, mister, we used to work
sixty hours a week all the time, and
we got along Just ' fine," retorted
the garage worker,
