Not to Rebel, Says Nordau

scholastic. official and social ter
rorism.
THE German people rejoice in their
slavery: they are proud of 1t because
their masters have been astute
enough to wrap it up with attractive
names.
Livery Is called uniform, servitude
is called organization, abject degrada-
ton of the human personality is call
ed discipline and the renunciation of
all rights and dignity and personality
is called heroic abnegation.
1T is enough to make one quit the
human family in disgust to think that
for a whole century two worlds have
regarded the Germans as inveterate,
immutable individualists.
However, let US hold on to our faith
in the final triumph of reason, truth.
Justice, law and morality-in word

SIX Oppose Measure.

He will wait until the conferees on
the food supply bill agree and n the
Official rebuke Is sanctioned by the
House Of Representatives, then some
official statement from the sdminis-
tration food dictator is expected.
Meantime, administration conciliators
will be at work trying to iron out the
differences.
The vote on the final passage OF the
bill found Senators France. Hardvick.
Penrose, Reed. Sherman and suther~
land opposed TO the measure.
Turning down Of the shafroth
amendment to have a single admins
traitor OF the food supply bill was the
real nub Of the opposition against
Hoover. The vote was 50 to 3 against
the amendment.
Instead OF a single executive 20 ed-
minister the provisions Of the act. the
Senate draft provides a board OF
three. Such a section gives Hoover
chairmanship Of the board and divid-
ed authority.
There was a viva voce vote on the
amendment of Senator Chamberlain
fixing a minimum price Of 50 e bushel
on wheat and IL was carried without
great opposition.
