REVISION COURT ADJUSTS RURAL ASSESSMENTS Adjustment- In . assessments in five widely separated pieres of The Fraser Valley flood has afternoon by W. D.

A river dam capacity of chairman -of the provincial Court of Revision held at the office of Provincial Republican Convention RELATIVELY - small group of Republicans A representing their party in all the States and Territories are closing in on Philadelphia to make a decision which may vitally affect the world. They are the 1,094 delegates to the party's national convention which opens in Philadelphia next Monday morning. Their task is to-choose candidates as-President and Vice-President in the elections to be held next November 2. One choice must be made-from among at least six actual or logical contenders for the honor. It is more than usually important because this year the party apparently has a better hope of electing a President than at any time since 1932. It is of world-wide importance because at this moment the United States is the one country, if .there is one, that holds the potential power to halt the swing toward totalitarian dictatorship which is slowly engulfing so much of the universe. It is the one country outside of Russia with the potential power to enforce peace. The selection might fall upon a candidate who, if elected, would yield to the powerful isolationist, influences within the party which would once more withdraw this country's power to do good in the .world outside United States boundaries. Experienced party managers who have spent .hours in pre-convention huddles generally keep fairly complete control over actual events in convention hall. However events sometimes run away from the planners and then the unexpected happens as it did in 1940 in the same hall when the late "VVeridell AVilkie's name was suddenly thrust into the balloting and the delegates stampeded to give" him the nomination with sweeping acclaim on 'the sixth ballot. History may repeat next week. The actual contenders are Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, former Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota and gave way and it was like sev- Government Assessor J.

Most-talked-of dark horse contender, who has .not lifted and says he will not lift a finger to get ,the nomination, is Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan; ' ' From an international point of view Vanden- berg would seem to be the .candidate best equipped to handle the job in this season of delicate world conditions. He, perhaps more than any other man, is re- sponsible for the non-partisan approach to foreign policy problems and for leading the United States in its inevitable role as leader of the world's demo-'cratic .but weakened countries whose future de-'pends so greatly on assistance from that country.
