By FRANK JENKINS
DIOGEST political news of the
u day this is written (which is

President Hoover's flat Btutement
that he Is not a candidate for the
Republican nomination.
Few well-informed observers
have believed that he was n can
didate, hut the Impression hns per
sisted that he might be.
This impression hns been nn
unsettling Influence.
fXPI DENTALLY, very few well
informed observers believe that
ANY Republican candidate can be
elected this fall. About the best
that Intelligent anti-New Dealers
hope for at the present moment is
re-election of President Roosevelt
by a 'greatly reduced majority,
with the. possibility of an unfriend
ly or at least critical congress.
aT SHOULD be explained, of
course, that this is tho im
pression prevailing at the present
time, which Is five months In ad

candidate who will oppose Roose

changes In sentiment can occur in

NOTE, please, that France Is be
ginning to talk (for American
consumption)' about settlement of
the war debt "misunderstanding"

If you arp a shrewd obsorver of
International events, you will draw
the conclusion (which will be
strictly accurate) that France
WANTS SOMETHING from the
United Stntes.
When nations, especially Euro

specifically excepted) begin to talk

always safe to look for an Ethio
