NOTES OF THE DAY
DIVIDED THEY FALL_
Just how the 74th Congress will respond to the leadership of Pre- sident Roosevelt is one of the quar- tions occupying the attention of the nation. On paper Mr. Roosevelt will have bigger majorities behind him in both the upper and lower house than any other President has enjoyed in modern times. In the Senate, 69 of the 96 members, are Democrats. In the House of Repre sentatives there are 121 Democrats out of a total membership, of 435. Such overwhelming majorities, how- ever, are considered a tactical dis advantage. When lines are tightly drawn and every vote is needed to keap the party ahead, it is relative- ly easy for the party "whips" to maintain discipling in their ranks. When the majority becomes pronounced as in the present case,

Obviously Japan cannot hope to realise her commer- cial and other ambitions in North China unless the authorities governing the area are willing to "co-operate." It was largely because the "Young Marshal," Chang Hsueh-liang, refused to co-operate with the Japanese in their plans for the extension of railways and the like in Manchuria that the Japanese decided to take over that region by force. "Co-operation" has a peaceful construc- tive sound, but situations are conceivable in which co- operation with the Japanese in North China might raise cries of "Treason!" from patriotic Chinese.
