HOOVER AND THE

FUTURE.

MORAL OF THE U.S. ELECTION.

DEFEAT OF THE "WETS."

Hoover's election Is a token of the strength of popular feeling behind the Kellogg Treaties, and the general desire for understanding and friendship with Britain. It means accelerated Industrial ac- tivity (Wall Street is already! showing the magical effect it has had on

business) and trade ag- gressiveness, and it puts a new em- phasis on "Prohibition.

The nation is elated. For the defeated candidate there is only Ane kindly sympathy. He is a character, led by politicians sadly lo overestimate his destiny. The polling was in reality a mere form, officially attesting what thoughtful observers had long known. The rc- cords of the candidates, plus Pro- hibition and the introduction of the religious issue, inevitably predeter- mined Hoover's election. But the|. alagiences of purpose evidenced, by America's thlaking citizens—not a' hundred per cent, of the electorate by any means-is splendidly en- couraging.

The magnitude of the victory is unprecedented: sectionalism lad been eliminated for the first time since the Civil War, and the fact that the triumpir is complete in both | legislative branches is prophetic of good Leamwork in the immediate future.

The personalities of the candidates, Prohibition, religioas intolerance, the gaunt spectre of unemployment, which American eronemists declare Inexcusable to- day in any nations excepts Russia and China--all these help to ex- plain the phenomenon. The fact that Hoover carried practically every part of the nation so over- whelmingly is evidence of the popular belief that he will give, the nation a non-political, progressive, | and economier Administration, 8-

Speialists Overwhelmed, Friends of Britain have beuti grently cheered by the situation In the Senate, where the itepublicans will have 65' seats against the Nomberatie 39, a Republican gain of.7. This potentially assures the ratification of the Kellogg Treaties, which, hud the Demotrats won a majority in the Senate, would have been hitterly opposed in revenge for the Ripublican action against Wilson's Versailles Treaty. For- [Tupately for world peace, the Treaties will come up before the Re- publican majority weakened by factional quarrels, which history seems to show is inevitable. But the defent of ́ Houghton, the late Ambassador to Britain, loses the Treaty one good friend. 'The violent activities of the farmer-labourists was apparently vocal; for they gained only Senator. The Socialists mel general defent, even Victor Berger, Wisconsin's celebrated-"Réd,” sink- ing without a trace. This is as significant, as the nation's unques- tioned endorsement of Prohibition.

The mere endorsement of Smith apparently closed half a dozen not- nble or promising political careers, The situation of the "Wet" Demo- crats in Congress becomes amusing to onlookers, however tragic to themselves. Already the women of Texas, for instance, declaring an "Open Season" for "Wat" states- men, have gone after Senator Sheppard, because, though teetotaler, he supported Smith. Obviously the women, plus probably The large majority of men, aro de- termined on a really "Dry" nation.. How this can be achieved is not so clear, though tales in the British newspapers of the American liquor altuation arc frequently absurd. There are many violations of the! law, certainly, but a nation of 100,000,000 as certainly contains a proportion with an alcoholic crav- ing of long standing.
