There were the mugwump liberals of 1872 who ran Horace Greeley for president. After the re turn of the party to power in 1897 a split developed during the first decade of the century. Senator Robert LaFollette was the first insurgent. The division grew during the Taf t administration, but in 1912 it was Roosevelt I who got the call for the progressive nomination, not LaFollette. While the post-war reaction displaced the democrats from power the republican party breach was not permanently healed. In 1924 LaFollette, sr., ran independently for president, without success. In the 20s the insurgents, principally from midwest ern states, coalesced as a farm bloc or off-reservation group ; and they kept the dissension alive. Defeat in 1932 and in 1936 reduced the intra-party contention because the party was re duced to impotence. Besides some of the insurgents like La Follette and Norris left the republican party, and others swung to the side of the victors. The cleavage which long hounded the republicans has developed in the ranks of the partytnow in power. The fis sures are broad and deep. -The feeling is more intense than .any time since the split of 1912 when the progressives "stood at Armageddon" and sang "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Now there is rebellion on the right, because the left wingers are in command of the administration and the party machine. The schism got no better as a result of the harmony dinner the other night when the president refused to attend Jack Garner's love feast The dove flying overhead and the dove shaped serving of ice cream were no more potent than the ducks at the president's own party at Jefferson island hunt club a few weeks earlier. ; In any mass movement of the size of the November landslide crevasses are certain to develop. The rivalry for power continues because ambitions clash and ideas clash. When the president ended the breathing spell and aborted the "era of good feeling' with bis court packing bill the align ments came with swiftness, though the division of sentiment was along lines considerably different. Off-key singing will persist and the disharmony will in crease if the precentor tries to purge the chorus. Majorities breed their own divisions ; and the bigger the -majority the quicker the split The headache the republicans suffered from for years has merely infected the democrats, and it will take more than pale aspirin to cure it - Black Named for Supreme Justice The president went to the senate to fill the vacancy on the supreme bench, choosing a man distinguished for his lib eralism, his personal loyalty to the president and his muck raking ability, Hugo LaFayette Black of Alabama. The ap pointment probably, was something of a surprise to Senator Black as it was to the country at urge, ior ma name been listed among the probable appointees. No better selection scarcely could have been made if the president wants to change the color of the supreme court Al most alone among southern senators Black has been an ar dent new dealer, sometimes overplaying the master himself in his real for revolutionary changes. He is best known to the country as author of the Black-Connery bills for limiting hours of labor to 30 per week, and of the pending wages and hours bill which in greatly altered form has passed the sen ate. Black's reputation was first made as chairman of the committee investigating airmail contracts, where with relent less vigor he probed into the relations between the postal de partment and the operating companies. It was his committee also which got hold of private telegrams from Hearst and others, through the connivance of the communications com mission at the time of investigating oppositin of utility com panies to the holding company bilL - His attitude in that in stance showed little respect for the constitutional guaran tees of rights of individuals to freedom from search and sei rure. Certainly no one would accuse Sen. Black of possessing a judicial mind. He is essentially the advocate, not the judge. He wul bring to the court not learning in the law and the .well-poised mind, but positive prejudices. The danger is not from the bias but from the mental frame in which it moves. Roger Taney was appointed by Andrew Jackson - to reflect Jackson's ideas on the high bench. He long- outlived Jackson, and then built into the judicial interpretations of the court a rigid construction which culminated in the Dred Scott deci sion. Blade may prove similarly unhelpful in the crises of the future. He may be expected to rubber stamp all the emis sions of the brain trust and thus to weaken further the pow er of the constitution as it is written in the protection of the rights of individuals and minorities, in preserving the tri- ' partite character of the national government in maintaining a federal system of government Blocking Power lines Congressman Pierce has kicked up his heels twice this weetr First, he called for a hearing on the appointment of Claude McCuBoch for federal judge, with indications that he would protest confirmation ; and then he refused to attend the hearing, hanging up the phone when notified. Thursday he succeeded in having grants by the rural electrification ad ministration to small districts in this area held up. The dis tricts are adjacent to PGE lines and the company was coop erating with the farmers to obtain funds for the line exten sion. Pierce has secured cancellation of the loan on the ground that public power districts may later be formed which would serve them. If they are, then heaven save the districts because these are all remote; and if the public district is to build to all of them its capital structure will be top heavy with unproductive lines. The net result probably will be to put off perhaps for several years any electric service to these districts. . . It is absurd to say that the company could collect $2000 for a $1000 investment in case the lines later were taken over by a publicly owned district The contracts themselves could be drawn to provide any protection if it was required. The public is apt to get so jittery teat it cuts off its nose ta spite its face rather than do business in a normal way. The extensions are of little general concern and probably not a very important item for the power company ; but getting elec tricity soon is important to the persons who will be served. They will be the chief sufferers. j " lions Club Holds Meet at Lebanon LEBANON The regular noon luncipoa featured the meeting of the Lloas" dab at Hotel Lebanon Thursday.

It ignored a senate proposal to extend for a sixth year a 50 per cent moratorium oa all project re payment Installments. The bill that went to the senate creates a throe-man commission to Investigate 1187 moratorium aoods and recommend to the In terior secretary partial or com plete relief as conditions dictate. Representative, Robinson (LV- Utah) said the bill "does away with the blanket moratorium and makes those pay who can pay and gives relief to those who steed re lief." Representative Forgusoa (IV Okla) said the tact the Interior department "is txyiax to collect from those projects which east pay is x step la tits right direction.- Film Celebrities (Oa-adette Colbert 1 aad those already well tauator aad im On the By DOROTHY v Navies for Hlrs The announcement, some three weeks ago. that the United States government had made a loan ot 889.000,008 to Brasll, allegedly for purposes ot exchange stabili sation, w a s mystifying to Wall Street economists. It would have been less mystifying It they had associated It with news which quickly followed, that Braiil had canceled a deal whereby Germany was to purchase from her 109,000 bags of coffee, to be paid tor In blocked marks and to be used, not tor German consumers, but for resale to central European countries. Now, on top ot these items comes another, more extra ordinary. The stats department has, asked congress quickly to au thorise the lease to Brasll of six American destroyers, for the cost of too full marine insurance. In recommending this measure. which, as tar aa I know, is n precedented. Mr. Hull merely states that "Brasll is concerned with recent tendencies in world politics and is apprehensive ot the desires ot some nations for raw materials ... and is seeking to build a modest nsvy ot her own." He points out that "Braxil Is a vast territory with a relatively small population" and that "if the governments of other American countries find it necessary to tarn to foreign governmenta for as sistance ... it is preferable that such assistance should be extend ed by the United States." aaa These Items all add up to some thing, and what they add up to Is that the state department ana the nary are both greatly concerned about Germany's acti-rities in BraxlL They axe first of all con cerned with Germany's trade pol icy, and secondly they are not sure that German activity will be lim ited to trying to capture the Brax llian market. In considering the possibilities of German colonial expansion, most Americans have always thought merely of the re turn of the African colonies. But it would appear that BraxlL and perhaps some other South Amer ican countries, fear that Germany may look elsewhere than to Africa. And the Monroe Doctrine, far from being dead, has built est into a pan-American system of collective security. a a e The German trade policy is la direct opposition to the reciprocal trade agreement of Cord ell Hail- Under Hull's policy the signatories to trade agreements contract to give each other the benefit of any trade concessions which they msy give to other countries. The policy does not demand that any one country buy as much from the United States as It sells to us, or vice versa. Hull's program is to open up all the channels of world trade in the widest possible way. based upon fair and non-discrim inatory treatment. aaa The German policy is, first, never to buy more from a coaatry than that country bays from Ger many. Second, wherever trade bal ances run against her, payment is made through blocked marks, held in Germany for the account ot the buyer and dischsrgabie only through purchase ot German goods. Third, heavily to subsidise exports out of government boun ties so that they can undersell competitors. aaa Now, of course, these blocked marks really amount to an en forced loan from Germany's cus tomers. At the present moment Braxil has got blocked ia Ger many marks amounting to 3S.- 999,999 American dollars. Under this system she has got to take German goods whether she wants them or not: German automobiles, although she may prefer American In order to get her money. But Germany takes BraxUlan goods and If she doesnt use them at home sells them in the world mar ket for gold or other goods, at arbitrary prices. Actually, what Germany has been doing has been to disorcaaxe the Braxillaa market In the small countries of central Europe. Ger many buys BraxUlan coffee tor goods. Then aha sells this coffee for cash or other goods below the Brazilian price. So that when Brasll takes her coffee into her old markets she finds that Ger many has been there with It al ready. It's a colossal dumping campaign in which Germany is not only damping her own goods bat other peoples against those other peoples Interests, using her customers' goods to destroy her customers' trade, and to disorgan ise) anything like a free market.

Withy- combe; state will not have above S of of the normal crop this year. Record THOMPSON This game has been practised all over the world, from China to Canada. The result Is that coun tries who have trade agreement with the United States, and who trade with Germany, discriminate against the United States in a manner that violates both the let ter and spirit of their trade agree ments with us. a a . e From the American viewpoint the Braxilian case is particularly flagrant. For years the Unltel States was the first supplier to Braxil, followed by England and Germany. England is now in third place, and Germany is close to pushing the United States from first place. Tet the United Stale annually buys from Brazil about twice as much as we sell her. We are her largest customer tor ber most Important export. We. therefore, hare a club which wo could use against BraxlL' but Mr. Hall refuses to wield It. not only because he Is interested in la proving relations with our near neighbors, but because If we wield clubs against others, others will wield them against us. aaa We are. therefore, seeing In this Braxilian affair a real straggle between barter principles of Dr. Schacht, made possible by rigid political control, and the liberal trade policies ot Mr. HalL And In Braxil It is apparently complicat ed by the fear of the Brazilians that German economic penetration by means ot Dr. Schacht's bludg eon, may be the prelude to pene tration of a different aad erea more dangerous sort.
