political philosophy which the New

Senator Black has not been a

mere follower of the Administra
tion. He is a sincere believer not
' in ti.e objectives of the New
Deal but in its methods. He is co
author of the Black-Connery bill
for Federal regulation of hours
and wages of labor. He was the
original proponent of the 30-hour
work week. He has been the ar
dent, aggresive adVocate of many
measures which are considered
radical , and the supporter> from
,. onviction of most of the New
! -, ea , legislation which the Supreme ^
Gourt> of which he nQW bec0 es R
member, has held to be beyond the
I Constitutional authority of Con
gress to enact.
It was “smart” politics on the
’‘‘resident’s part to name a Sena
tor for the Supreme Court vacan
' v for the tradition of “Senatorial
courtesy” insured his confirmation,
even though for once the Senate
dW not act immediately, but listen
ed to protests by its own members
against the elevation of one of
ikeir own number to the Supreme
Court.
The Senate did, in a sense, invite
he President to pick a Senator for

but the implication was clear

of the type .which the President
h sired to have in the Supreme
Court would not be. Hence the
or 3i’nation of Senator Black.
Party Split Broadens
The criticism of this appoint
ment by Democratic Senators gave
riirther proof that the split be
hvppn the President and a eonsid
erab'e segment of his own party
; s wide and deep, as members of
Congress start home to have it out
with their ionstituents. The pas
sage of time and the things they
hear from the folks back home
mav change the attitude of some
■>? those who are at present hop
oing mad. Those who are most
seriously concerned are the “old
qno Democrats” from the South.
They are concerned about num
erous tendencies which they be
,: cve will handicap the progress of
the South and infringe upon the
-’o-hts of the Southern States to
’ook after problems which they re
~ard as upelciarly their own. They
are afraid of Federal regulation
of hours and wages, believing that

in its efforts to build up new ir.dua-!
tries.
They, or many of them, were j
enraged by the renewal, in the
last day3 of the session, to pot S
over the anti-lynching bill. They |
have been behind the Administra- j
tion up to this year, by reason of i
their ingrained tradition of party
loyalty to the Democratic Party,
but protest that it is the New Deal
which is disloyal, not themselves.
Republicans Planning for 1940
A bitter fight for control of the
party at the 1940 Presidential con
vention is shaping up. Here the i
South is handicapped by the aboli
tion, at the 1936 convention, of the
two-thirds rule. It takes only a
majority vote now to nominate a
Presidential candidate. Under the
two-thirds rule the Solid South
held the balance of power in Dem
ocratic national conventions.
Republicans are laying their
plans for 1940, also. Talk of a Co
alitlon or Constitutional party, to
unite the ronservative elements of
both parties, is widely heard, but
with little evidence so far that it
has the support of practical poli
ticians of either party to any ex
tent.
The Republican national organi
zation is still pretty well disorgan
ized. The talk of* a Winter con
vention to consider a program and
definite Republican policies is still
mostly talk. Mr. Hoover, Mr.
Landon and Senator Vandenberg
are supposed to have had some
communications on the subject,
and somewhere among those three
the future leadership of the party
lies. The belief that Senator Van
denberg, on his record in the Sen- |
ate, is the most available man in
sight now for the Republican Pres
idential nomination is widely hold

Phosphate and lime are needed

WAR Without declaration i
There has never been a time !
when so many people, of all na
tions ’ have been so earnestly try
in – to Prevent war. Yet as I write
tilis tbere are two important wars
now in progress, and the threat of j
war is far more menacing, ail over |
the world, than it was on the very
eve of the World War which start- j
ed 23 years ago with Germany's!
invasion of Belgium.
In Spain the bloodiest, most bit- j
ter war of all time has been raging :
now in the for more than a year. With- j
limit ed area of a single na
tion - more P eo P !e h ave been killed,
* n proportion to the population and
number of troops engaged.
t,,an in an Y war in all history,
"^en the whole true story of the
Spanish war is told it will shock
the world.
Japan and China are at war.
r ^ bere bas been no formal deelara
tion of war ' bu t when one nation
' nva<:ies another’s territory and is
met armed resistance, that
looks ! *ke a real war. And the
other nations are trying to find
wa Y s to keep from being dragged
into these wars -
SPAIN democracy
In Spain, the underlying cause I
of the war is a conflict of ideas. It
bas keen breeding for years, since
^' e Spanish people, led by part
of tbe arm Y’ rose against the King
and undertook to set up a repub- j
lie. Then began a struggle for
control of the government between
the Communists and the advocates I
of a less radical concept of democ
racy.
The Communists got control of
tlle government, and the anti-com
™nints started a rebellion. They
£ ot sympathy and material aid
from other nations which wanted. !
at any price, to keep Communism
out of Western Europe. The Fas
cist government ^ of Italy , and . the ..
Hitler government of Germany,
which is about the same sort of
thing as Fascism, have let sol
diers, and equipment to the revo
lutionists. while Communist Rus
sia is giving similar aid to the Loy
alists.
Each side claims to be fighting
for democracy and the rights of
man. I cannot see how any Ameri- '
can can reconcile the claims of |
either to democracy under- , ,
as we
stand it, yet many eager, adventu
us y° a ^g Americans are fighting ,
the Communist side, antf many

China. Back of that, however, is
I ^ ^ ^ room for its
4~ popu , a ti 0 n. and its need of ! ■
terrttory,
This war, too. has been breeding
for years. It is giving the rest of
the world even more concern than
the affair in Spain. The Chinese
out-number the Japanese more
than five to one, but they are badly
organized and have not the fight
ing resources of the Japs. Some
European nations and our own
country have been helping China
reorganize her finances and obtain
foreign credits. Their fear is that
Russia may take a hand against
Japan, which would give Germany
5c SINGLE COPT
a chance to attack Russia from the
other side, and that would start
another European war.
Germany wants to crush Com
munism, but she wants more to
obtain land and resources for her
ercess population, and Russia has
those.
AMERICA protector
We are probably nhysically safe
from the present wars or any oth
er which might develop from them.
No enemy is likely to try to invade
the United States. But we are un
der a pledge, first expressed in the
Monroe Doctrine and reaffirmed
as lately as 1936, to protect the
nations of South America against
conquest by a foreign power.
It has been proposed in Wash
ington that we lend a few naval
vessels to Brazil. Brazil wants

them to train seamen for its new
navy, which is being built in
American shipyards; for Brazil is
afraid of Germany. Germany has
been planting settlers in Brazil for
a long time. With an area larger
than the United States and barely
a third of our population, Brazil
is an immense untapped reservoir
of wealth. It would serve Ger
many’s need for expansion better
than did the African colonies she
lost in the World War. It would
be no trick at all for Germany to
take Brazil, if . . .
But this country is obligated to
prevent Germany from seizing
Brazil.
SECURITY . . . British Empire
What I have been trying to sug
gest is that no nation is justified
in feeling itself secure against
war, in the present stage of civili
zation. We have not
very well in bringing up our
to abhor war. Thousands
gone to Spain to fight for an
which appeals to them, or for
exsitement of fighting. I hear
hundreds of American boys
to China to get in on the
_
against Japan.
My own personal notion is
the future of the world depends
upon the English speaking nations,
and that the tighter we tie the
bonds of friendship with the
tish Empire, the better off we and
the world will be.
Much erosion has taken
and is taking place on land
abondoned or near abandonment
because of low productivity.
