CR ———
IDING triumphantly upon the crest
of a tremendous wave of discon
tent, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
elected President of the United States,
the thirty-second man
to win to that lofty
eminence. Herbert
Hoover went down to
cataclysmic defeat be-
cause of conditions
and circumstances be-
yond his control and
not of his making.
The sovereign people
of the nation wanted
a change, a ‘new
deal,” that might con-
ceivably bring about
an improvement In
business and indus
try and provide jobs for the millions
of unemployed. So they went to the
polls and got the change.
The defeat of the Republican na-
tional ticket was the greatest sus
tained by a major party in more than
a century. Governor Roosevelt car
ried forty-two states and has a vote
of 472 In the electoral college. Pres
ident Hoover won in only Maine, Con
necticut, Delaware, New Hampshire,
Vermont and Pennsylvania. His elec.
toral college vote is fifty-nine. The
Democratic candidate was 208 votes In
excess of the necessary to a
choice. Moreover, when the victor
takes office next March he will have
backing him a congress controlled by
the Democrats, for they won majority
in the senate and increased the ma-
Jority they already had In the house
of representatives. Among the nota
ble Republican senators who were
overwhelmed by the deluge were HIi-
ram Bingham Connecticut, Reed
Smoot of Utah, Jimes E. Watson of
Indiana, Otis F. Glenn of [llinois and
George H. Moses of New Hampshire
Brookhart of lowa, Blaine of Wiscon
gin and Shortridge of California had

toral had been considered

turned out did not need it to win

Towa primaries, went down In the de
bacle, and Louis Murphy, wet Demo-
erat, was elected senator. Brookhart,
who ran as an independent, received
a pitifully small vote,
Governor Roosevelt received the
congratulations of President Hoover,
and his promise to “dedicate myself
to every possible helpful effort,” by
wire from Palo Alto. He ealmly
heard the rejolcings of his close as
socintes in the campaign, and then
went to Albany to take up the task
of adjusting the New York state
budget. A group of leading Demo
crats In the senate and house, as soon
as his victory was assured, tele
graphed him urging that he enunci
ate as soon as possible his program
for combating the depression, and
asking especially that he tell the
country whether or not he planned
to call a special session of congress
immediately after his Inauguration te
deal with the tariff. It was intimated
in Washington that Mr. Roosevelt
might assume at cnce the leadership
of his party and direct its doings In
the final session of the Seventy second
congress during the winter. Since the

really not partisan, It would be gratl-
fying to the people to see the Presi
dent-elect and his party co-operating
sincerely with the administration of
President Hoover in seeking their so-
lution, With the election ended so
decisively, this delightful dream
might be realized.
N R. ROOSEVELT at least proposes
‘A to try to get his program for na-
tional recovery started during the
coming short session of congress. He
let it be known that he would Invite
the leaders of the present senate and
house to a conference at his winter
home at Warm Springs, Ga., where
he will spend two weeks at Thanks
giving time, and will plan with them
what can be done without waiting for
his Inauguration. Farm rellef espe
cially will be discussed. Mr. Roosevelt
has plans to aid agriculture, by a do
mestic tariff to levied on certain
basic crops such as wheat, corn and
cotton, which would be Intended to
give the farmers a better price for
their products and strengthen their
buying power.
It Is likely, too, that a measure to
legalize beer will be put through the
lame duck session of congress if the
plans of the wets work out, though
the drys will fight It as long as they
can, and they are still in the major
ity in both houses. Many of the states
on election day voted to repeal thelr
dry laws, and the next congress will

O NE outstanding result of the elee
tion was the immediate launching
of a general movement among the for
eign debtors of the United States to
obtain revision or cancellation of their
debts, They seemed to think the
change of administration would give
them as well as the people of the
United States a “new deal” It was
sald Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay
informed the State department Great
Britain could not continue its war
debt payments without seriously dis
locating her financial structure: and
Washington received dispatches from
several other nations saying they
would have to default on the pay-
ments due in November and Decem-
ber. Under the war debt funding
agreements the treasury can allow
postponement of payment on principal
for two years, but only congress can
arrange for postponement of interest
payments,
ERMANY also had an election, and
is struggling with the tangled
condition resulting therefrom. It was
held to choose members of the reich
stag, for the fifth
time In 1932, and was
as indecisive as those
preceding it. No po
litieal party won a
majority in the assem-
bly, but Chancellor
Yon Papen neverthe
lesa declared his gov
ernment would not
relinquish power. The
outstanding result of
the election, In which
85,500,000 voters cast
their ballots, was the Papen
loss sustained by
Hitler's Nazis. They have only 195
deputies Tn the new reichstag Instead
of their 230 in the last chamber. On
the other hand the Communists made
big gains, electing 100 members. The
Von Papen government can count on
only about 60 votes In the assembly,
and the opinion was in Ber
