The clearest case is the arithmetic on Al Smith.

The South is against him for the nomination. But if the.

It is this assumption this arithmetic that constitute Smith's claim to should die, the best way to carry out that Intention would be for the office to devolve on his appointee, presumably the Secretary of State! at least until an election to fill the vacancy could be called. If the remaining time were lesythan a year, there would be little excuse for calling the election at all.

The very worst way to secure a continuance of the people's mandate is ordinarily to put in the Vice-Presi-dentr-wha is UBually-ohosen-by-the convention to placate the defeated faction, and is therefore less likely than any other member of the administration to represent what the people voted for. The fact that Coolidge was an exception, and Dawes is a partial exception, to this rule does not alter its general truth. The Vice-President, normally, is as useless as Mr. Dawes says it is occupationless.

DAVID P. BARROWS Is greeted as an "unofficial to South America. We have been having a lot of that sort of thing, all over the world. With the extravagant growth of nationalism, official conferences have become nearly useless. Witness the two disarmament conferences.

The members of either of these conferences could have reached a constructive and satisfactory agreement, if they had not been handicapped by responsibility to their governments, which in turn -'were handicapped by responsibility to demagogic nationalist politicians. Similarly, the Reparations Commission could and would have devised the Dawes plan. The only reason the Dawes commission sueeeeaed-was was unofficial, and therefore free. The recent Institute of Pacific Relations, in Honolulu, unhampered by officialdom, succeeded in clarifying some things which will probably result in action by several governments which would have been otherwise impossible. It is a new and increasingly useful device.
