Two Tactical Errors
TPWO tactical errors are apparent in the news. Dr. Townsend
declares that he finds no
Democratic parties so he is going to launch a Third party, a
Townsend old age pension party.
Politically speaking this would be suicide for the doctor and
his organization.
A Third party in this country has never won a presidential
election, and until conditions change fundamentally never will.
As a militant and organized minority, affiliated with neither
major party, threatening both, Dr. Townsend and his followers,
possess a political weapon of tremendous power and potency.
Once transfer that weapon to a Third party, and politically
speaking, all is lost. Such an organization will draw about
equally from both major parties and injure neither. The politi
cal effectiveness of the Townsend movement will disappear
overnight.
If Dr. Townsend 's statement is merely a trial balloon, a
political feint to scare the .Republicans (who want those
Townsend votes), into giving, him and his proposal their party
suprort, then this action is not as foolish as it appears to be.
J3ut if it is as sincere and
ments by the leader of the Townsend movement have been, then
it demonstrates that the Long Beach doctor and economist, has
much to learn about the fundamentals of practical politics, in
the land of the free and the home of the brave.
THE other tactical slip must be charged up to the Republican
national committee which met in Washington yesterday,
and among other things, extended a formal invitation to .Teffer
spnian Democrats to support the Republican candidate in the
forthcoming election.
"W nppeal .Metrically to the million, of constitutional
Jefferaonlan Democrats for their aid. We believe they can moat
effectively safeguard their belief. In American fundamental,
through such co-operative action."
Had, very bad. As things have been going the past several
months, no doubt many Jeffersonian Democrats and ultra con
servative members of the party
switching their party allegiance
But if anything will keep
and public solicitation from the 0. O. P. national committee will
certainly turn the trick. If there is anything the congenital
Democrat distrusts more and hates worse than the Republican
national committee, we arc unable to recall at. the moment what.
it is.
Obviously the wise thing for the national committee to do,
was to say nothing, touch on wood, and let nature take its
course.
Now the beans are spilled all over the lot, and by one public
statement at least 50 of the standpat Democratic support
they might have had, has been lost.
The Silver Situation
UNDER the Silver Purchase Act of 1934 passed under the
sponsorship of the conKressioniil silver bloc, the treasury
is required to buy silver until the price reach or $1.29 per ounce
or until its holdings are equivalent to one-third of the f?old
reserve. At the time the law went into effect 1,312,611,915
ounces were needed to bring the treasury's silver supply up to
this relationship with its gold reserves.
In carrying out the requirements of the law the treasury Kiis
acquired 761,771,000 ounces of silver since June 19, 1934. Menu
while, however, the treasury's gold reserves have jumped from
around seven and three-quarter billions to in excess of ten bil
lions. As a result, it is still necessary for the treasury to pur
ehase approximately 1,135,000,000 ounces of silver to meet the
provisions of the law. Thus, little actual progress has been
made toward the attainment of the goal laid down by congress.
WlllLK the treasury, with purchases running nt a total of
20,000,000 ounces a week, has been caught on a tread mill
in its huge silver buying program, ninny serious repercussions
have followed, ft is generally conceded that none of the bene
fits attributed to the program at its inception have been at
tained. On the other hand, the monetary situation of silver standard
countries, notably China, has been seriously complicated and
this country's trade with them has suffered. Tn addition, de
monetization of silver standard countries contributed further to
general unsettleinent of international currencies and has
changed huge quantities of the metal from a currency to com
modity status.
As long as the present Silver Purchase Act continues to be a
lnw, the treasury must continue, as it announced it is doing, its
purchasing of a largo volume of silver that is unnecessary as a
monetary reserve, A discontinuance of the policy, however,
would be at the risk of incurring substantial market losses on
metal already purchased and hold by the treasury, as well aa
serious dislocation of silver countries now dependent upon the
United States as almost the sole outlet for the metal nt present
prices. 1. W. S.

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IN this column, recently, an estimate
was given of the damage believed
to be done annually by coyotes to
livestock, deer and game blrds es
pecially ducks. If these figures were
anywhere pear accurate, the damage
Is rather staggering.
-
THIS subject brings up a contro
versy of long standing in South
ern Oregon, where it Is believed by
livestock, men that the national parks
and national monuments provide
breeding grounds snd sanctuaries for
predatory animals, as well as for the
game animals and birds.
The National park service, as every
one knows, permits no shooting or
trapping in national parks. Its pur
pose being to preserve In these areas
conditions approximating as nearly as
passible the natural wilderness that
Is to say, as far as wild life is con
cerned. These conditions, quite obviously,
are favorable to predatory animals,
such as coyotes, as well as to game
animals.
A MONO livestock men, the Lava
Beds national monument, just
over the Oregon line in Northern
California, has long been regarded as
a breeding ground for coyotes, and
there has been considerable complaint
on this account.
This complaint has led the park
service to make an Investigation, and
for some time two men from the
wildlife division of the national park
service have been In the Lava Beds
country. Aa a result of the findings
of these men, It is probable that at
least one park service trapper will be
kept In the Lava Beds for two or
three months next apring.
This trapper will devote his atten
tion principally to coyotes.
IN connection ytth his work, some
Interesting Investigations are to
be made.
The stomachs of all coyotes taken
will be preserved and sent to the lab
oratories of the western headquarters
of the national park service In San
Francisco, and there analyzed to de

termine the principal food of these
animals.
Some Interesting facts ought to
come out of these Investigations.
npHE coyote Is generally regarded as
1 about the most worthless of
Western wild animals, ani every
man's hsnd is against him. Only bis
own native cunning, which Is grest,
preserve him. He Is about as smart
as they come.
He is a chicken thief. He U a fawn
killer. He is ft alsyer of lambs and
calves. He has a consuming appetlt
for young ducks and geese. About his
only recommendation Is that h Is
also a heavy consumer of Jack rab
bits, which become a serious pest If
permitted to get out of their natural
balance.
It will be worth while to get some
actual figures on Just what the coy
ote does eat, snd what proportions. .
If the park service men can provide ,
ua with this information, it will be i
doing a service.
TS really a pity that the park serv
ice can't at the same time do
some Investigating of the pelican,
which Is the pstron bird of the Klam
sth country and as such is highly re
garded by everyone over In thst coun
try.
But some nasty charges are being
leveled at the pelican. It Is said, for
example, that each pelloan eats at
least 10 pounds of fish per day, and
since there are estimated to be some
5000 pelicsns in the Klamath coun
try It is apparent (If the 10 pounds
per day estimate Is aoourate) thst
they dispose of around 35 tons of
fish dally.
That runs up into a lot of fish in
the course of a summer.

fish of the poorer type, such as mul
let, and chubs: the trout being swift
enough to escape.
Another theory enters here Mullet,
chub and other fish of this type con
sume the larvae of the midges, which
are such an unholy post In the sum
mer season over there and prevent
Klamath from being a great resort
lake. It seems obvious that IP the
pelicans eat the mullet, chubs, etc.
that would otherwise eat the midge
larvae the midges are going to get out
of balance. (As, goodness knows, they
have).
And so It goes. This problem of the
balance of nature Is one thst we
haven't yet solved. Perhaps it might
be a good idea to sic the New Dealers
onto It.

To the Editor: v
England and France are hitting
their customary stride. As long ss
It don't take any of the money they
owe ua, and we don't Insist on them
paying up some of their long over
dues to us, and that family triangle
still exists between the-m snd Italy,
they are more than willing to give
Italy all that she wants of Ethiopia,
and they would help Italy more if
they were sure that they would not
be caught In the act.
I do not believe th English people
as a whote. are in favor of auoh a
cut-throat deal. If they can put thlA
deal over on the Ethiopians, no small
country will be safe from the domi
nation of those grasping, greedy van
dals, whenever they wish for more
territory.
You have noticed how willing some
countries (and people, too) ar to
spend money, especially if that
money belongs to some one else.
I think everyone Is aware of that,
right here In our own country, when
we see It done on all sides, every day.
Greed and grab seem to be the domi
nating factors in the world today.

Jump on some power of their size?
Why? Just because that would show
the yellow stresk in them, or any
other power that would do the same
thing that they are doing. Not only
our government at Washington, but
th whole American people, must
clamp down hard (and say) we must
keep out of Europe's trouble (sod

Franc would take some of that
money that they are spending on war
material of all kinds, and pay their
honest debts to the United States,
it would be a grest help to relieve
the burden of debt thst is piling up
on us every dey.
Wouldn't that be a treat, to have
that money and buy warm clothes,
