them among the most populous,
and four hundred county govern

give the Republicans tho nucleus;
Brame. of of such a party machine as they
has come have not controlled since 1930.
Old-time political observers are
commenting upon the about-face
in party policies, as evidenced by
the fact that the staunchest sup
porters of state’s rights today are
the Republicans.
clear-cut issue on this mat-
lei- of state right.s is about to be
joined on tho initiative of tho
rock-ribbed Republican and tra
ditionally independent state of
Vermont.
.^Iready Had Contract
Last Summer Congress enacted
a flood-control law. The State of
V'erinont had already negotiated
a contract with tho Army Ehigi-
neers to build a dam at Union
Village. The Secretary of War re
fused to sign the contract, assert
ing that the Federal Government
had the power to go into Vermont
and take lands and build dams for
any purpose without the consent
of the state and that he Intended
to do just that.
That enraged 'Vermonters so
that when Governor Aiken asked
his legislature for an appropri
ation of $67,000 with which to ^
figlit the a.s,serted encroaehnient t
upon Vermont’s sovereign right.s,
it was voted without delay. The
governors of the other New Eng
land stato.s have joined In the
movement to bring about the re
peal of the provision of last year’s
law which grants such rights to
the Federal Government without
the consent of tho states, and a
merry 'battle seems imminent.
jVs the proposals for strengthen
ing the national defense are stu
died and Capitol Hill hears from
increasing numbers of citizens
favoring swift and positi' e action
in that direction, some of the
pledges and promises about econ
omy seem about to 'be broken.
If the people want Li spend
money for national defense, there
is a growing feeling In Congress
that it ought to he spent. ’There
is nothing the average Represen
tative or Senator likes more than |
to spend money where it will do |
him or his friends some good.
Cunal 1'rojoci.s tveTlvod
Under the spell of the national
defense fervor, two old canal pro
jects have been revived, with an
excellent apparent chance that
they may he approved by this
Congiess. One is the Florida ship
canal, which is really desired by
both the .Navy and the .triiiy as a
short cut troiii the Gulf of Mexico
to the .Ytlaiitic. and which has
already been approved liy the Sen
ate and a committee of the last
Tlouse.
Tliere is gt'Od ground for be
lieving tliat this project, begun in
19.33 under a WPA allotment by
the President, will have Admin
istration support. It will, how
ever. face stronger Republican
opposition than will the other ca
nal project.
That other one is the Nicaragua
Canal. For many years there has
been in existence a treaty between
this country and Nicaragua giv
ing the United States the right to
dig.a canal from the Atlantic to
the Pacific whenever it wants to.
United States Army engineers and
canal experts have made careful
and detailed surveys of the pos
sible routes for such a canal, the
harbors at each end, and are rea
dy to start digging the minute
Congress gives the word.
Tlie Nicaragua Canal would
give a second passage between
the oceans, not only safeguarding
the route from sea to sea against
tho danger of an enemy crippling
the Panama Canal, but it would
provide a shorter passage for
merchant ships between the two
oceans.
A bill has already been intro
duced in tho House to dig the
Nicaragua Canal, which Army en
gineers estimated iu 1931 would
cost $722,000,000 and which the
War Department now figures
would cost a billion.
