Alf M. Landon of Kansas today as "the ideal candidate" for the party's presidential nomination. Unofficial visitors to the Kansas Young Republicans convention in speeches and interviews reported growing sentiment tor the budget- balancing governor as G. O. P.

standard bearer. Governor Landon will address the state convention dinner tonight at which Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati, son of the former president, will be the chief speaker. Visitors from Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin added their praise of Landon to that of the Kansans, Landon Greets Visitors. The governor greeted many of the visitors at his office.

Thomas F. Lansberry, Somerset, attorney, said: "Young Republicans everywhere will find Landon sympathetic with their ideals. Landon appeals to me because he is plain and common, easily approachable, business-like, energetic, and because he has a record of executive management which has actually been for the best interests of the taxpayers." "I'm going back home," said Warren Hullinger, St. Paul, "to tell the folks Landon looks to me like a good, solid, plain American man. I'm sure he'd win against Roosevelt." Oklahoma Favors Candidacy.

"Oklahoma is ready for a change," said James A. Ingraham. Enid. Okla. "Crystallization of sentiment for Landon in Oklahoma is amazing.

Our people like his economy record." "Landon Is the ideal candidate, he understands the problems of the people," said Page Belcher, secretary of the eighth district Oklahoma Republican committee. J. Kenneth Bradley, Bridgeport. asserted: "The 1936 campaign will not be one of partisan issues but a crusade to move out the Roosevelt administration which does not represent the American people not even the Democratic party."

"But instead of concrete conversations, sanctions have come against the 'aggressor'." II Duce spoke of the gravity of the proposed oil embargo, suggesting it would complicate the European situation. Then he referred to Premier Laval' of France, stating: "One person believed he brought peace to his conscience by affirming that we accepted economic sanctions. That is not a fact. I protested strongly against even the mention of sanctions." Mussolini spoke 12 minutes in all, reading his address. His full, resonant voice rose exultantly in passages where he told how Italy meant to go on to victory.

"Our counter sanctions," said Mussolini, "were not only inevitable because we cannot Import when we arc forbidden to export, but they are also logical and absolutely moral as a legitimate defense. "However, it would be altogether ungenerous on our part not to recognize that large parts of the French people and all veterans were against sanctions and their application. Kind Words for Belgium. "We cannot ignore the demonstrations of protest ngainst sanctions in Belgium and in more or less official circles of various countries. "To the governments of countries that courageously opposed the application of Article XVI (of the League of Nations with sanctions) our present and future gratitude Is due." II Duce replied to the speech made by Sir Samuel Hoare Thursday In the house of commons by saying he had the right to expect acts to follow the word.

"We take notes," said the premier, "that the foreign office desires an Italy which is strong in its government and in its Fascism and an Italy capable of filling with dignity its proper place in the life of Europe and the world. "Far 14 years we have worked for that. "Given Hoare's promises, we have every right to expect their consequences. Italy cannot be strong in Europe as Hoare wishes, and as we wish, if the problem of security ol Its East African colonies is not solved.

The ttxt of hsr talk follows: "There is a psychological urge in the heart of every adolescent boy and girl to be recognized as an individual and to be a member of a gang. There was a time not far away when these farm boys and girls were deprived of this privilege and were pretty much left out things The city children were the leaders.

They had the good times and they did things, consequently the farm children were lonely, they took for granted inferior positions and they felt they didn't count. "Today, we have an entirely different picture. Out this situation has emerged in rural life an organization that now gives these boys and girls all the things they heretofore had to do without. Incredibly rapid and effectively has this four fold development, known as the 4-H club, established Itself in the lives of the youths whose birthright it is to toe most vitally interested in a program which is a challenge to farm interests. "Four club work trains its members for leadership responsibilities.

The word "leadership" is, of course, a general term, enormous in scope, and implies various interpretations; but specifically the types of leadership that can be recognized from 4-H training falls in two distinct groups. First where the leader assumes all the responsibilities and the members use what initiative they have in following specific instructions. This procedure does not develop true leadership and should be discouraged. However it is a common type and practiced in many organizations. Second, the desirable type and the one which demands greater ingenuity on the part of the leader and should be the goal of every club is that in which the leader encourages the members to assume entire responsibility of a given situation or problem.

Leadership Begins Early. "The leadership training of a 4- member begins in the first years of 4-H club work. Through project, demonstration team and parliamentary proceedure a member learns to take charge, meet people, acquire poise and good bearing and show good sportsmanship. Boys and girls do not inherit good sportsmanship, yet it is really the most fundamental lesson of conduct that the youths have to learn. A good example for a leader to set before a group of young people is to show good sportsmanship in his or her club activities.

Junior leadership has become in outstanding project for boys and girls over the age of fifteen. This group is always stronger than the individual and through the leaders the younger and more independent individuals have their actions controlled and regulated. To give leadership, companionship, example, friendship and quality to a group of earnest youth is a real privilege and an equal responsibility. The leaders are the most Important cog in the great 4-H movement. One good training is Uj be prepared to hold an office and when that time comes carry the responsibility bit by bit.

Every real 4-H member looks forward some day to being, himself, the leader of a 4-H club. Helping in every phase that you can this is leadership training and service. In all 4-H camps we find excellent leadership and sportsmanship and the desire of the youth to continue this great movement. As the leadership training goes on there is an advancement to attend camps both state and national where leadership work is highly stressed. There are only two American Youth Foundation Camps and one National 4-H Camp located at Washington, D.

in the United States which offer advanced leadership training. Youth Must Rebuild. In the farm life today we find our homes and land depreciating in value because the homes are run down in appearance and because erosion. The youth today are the ones who will build back the value of our farms through our conservation work. The conservation projects are new to 4-H club members in Kansas.

We have a problem today which Is of uppermost Importance to farm boys and girls because of the need to preserve wild life and growing things. Two forces that can be used to balance nature are (1) the ability to reproduce and (2) all things that pertain to prevent increase. Other projects included in this work are soil erosion, house remodeling and fire prevention. The social graces are automatically acquired through the cultural study of music appreciation, chorus work and recreation. The health project, an Important phase of club work, Is carried out through application of all health rules learned from childhood.

The value of the project is attained by each individual through the fact thai they have learned the art of better living.
