TWEEDLEDUM OR DEE?

In some quarters there has been a quest for a Republican "liberal" to match the "liberalism" of the present incumbent in the White House. But there is much to be said for choosing an out-and-out opponent of NRA, AAA, PWA. TVA and the rest of the alphabetl Cal entourage, in order that the nation may have a genuine, sharp- ly-drawn choice, between policies. Time after time in recent years the choice between parties so far as radicalism or conservatism was concerned has been a choice be- tween Tweedledum and Tweedle- dee. But Colonel Roosevelt raises an issue on which he proposes a frontal assault against the trenches of the New Deal. And if other Republican utterances are a criterion, the dragons to be fought by G.

FOOD CONTROL Insofar as Dr. Li Shu-fan's remarks at Tuesday's meeting of the Sanitary Board aim at more effective measures for safeguard- ing the Colony's food supplies from contaminating influences. they me to be heartily com. mended. There cannot be the Toast question that grave danger to public health is caused by the conditions under which rertain types of food are exposed for sale in this Colony, notably in open-fronted shops, at open-air ment stalls, and on the portable stalls carried about by itinerant hawkers. Dr. Li is anxious that stringent measures

should be applied for the purpose of com- batting this danger, and his plen along these lines is well-based. The main burden of his speech, however, was directed to the securing of unified control in the matter of the issuing of licences. He complained at what he term- ed the chaotic and unsatisfactory position caused by the multipli- city of licensing authorities for the sale of food, and urged that the Sanitary Department should be made the sole authority.
