In an exposition Of Fascism for the

in the premier's old newspaper, II

war as giving "the seal of nobility to

cal than tyranny. Mussolini continues:
"Fascism does not believe in the possi-
bility of perpetual peace. 1t therefore
rejects paciflsm, which implies renunci-
alton of struggle and cravenness in the
face OF sacrifice. Only war carries all
human energies to the height Of ten
sion and gives the seal OF nobility to
peoples that have the courage to con-
front It,"
Fascism is on the verge of commemo-
rating the tenth anniversary of the
march on Rome. Perhaps II Duce finds

not left the world entirely unaccustomed

minister few weeks ago.

The Dog and His Master.

The relationship Of dog and man has
become a symbol Of faith and un-
selfish affection. No matter what the
circumstances, the dog has implicit
confidence In the master who has won
that affection. This is illustrated by
an incident just reported from st.
GATHERINGS, Ontario, where Hal BrooEer'
parachute jumper, leaped of the wing
of a plane flying at 1900 feet and
called to Cal" four-year police
dog, also rigged with a parachute, to
follow him. Without hesitation, when
the master called his name the dog
jumped. Both landed safely; the dog.
the dispatch says, was wagging his
tail as If he had enjoyed the expert
, ence.
This incident Immediately brings to
mind that classic of American oratory,
| George G. Vests "Eulogy on the Dog, "
delivered IN the course of a lawsuit
over the killing of "Old Drum" a Mis-
souri, hound, in 1869. Vest was coun-
sci for the owner Of the dog, who sued
for damages At the final trial OF the
case, which had gone through several
phases of verdicts and appeals, Coun-
sci Vest who later became Senator
Of the United States, swept the jury
of its feet with a'speech that lasted
less than five minutes, in which he
epitomized the relation of dog TO his
master. A few sentences from that

Judge Seabury Replies.

The Walker case pending before Gov.
Roosevelt Is now set Yesterday
Samuel Seabury, counsel for the LegiS-
lative Investigating Committee, trans
mitted to the Governor his rebuttal to
the mayors answer to the charges and
now all that remains is for the State
executive to study these documents,
name a date for a hearing and then
consider the question Of the mayors
removal. 1t is understood that he de-
sires to settle the matter definitely as
soon as possible SO as to clear the way
for his unilindered participation in the
campaign for the presidency, for which
he has been nominated by the Demo-
cratic party.
Judge Seaburys answer to the may
or's defense is a caustic analysis OF the
Walker document. Regarding the plea
Of limitation" in respect to alleged &C
tions during his first term Of Office, the
committee counsel says: 1T is a sorry
sight indeed to see a person occupying
high public Office, whose honor is i'm
pugned, taking the position that the
people must suffer him to continue In
public office because he was fortunate
enough not to be caught in time" De-
claring that the mayor in his reply re-
peatedly contradicted documentary eW-
dence and other witnesses in an effort
to avoid damaging admissions, Judge
Seabury says: "On this record of equiv
ocation, evasion and contradiction the
mayor has demonstrated himself to be
unworthy of belief where his official
conduct is called in question"
With persistent and detailed analysis
Of the testimony the committee counsel
presses upon every point of the mayors
reply. With reference to the mayors
repeated rejoinder that transactions OF
which he was beneficiary were merely
chance happenings that in no way
bore upon or were related to his Off
cial position, Judge Seabury says: 1T
is submitted that a mayor is not en-
titled to any more condolences, to the
benefit of any more doubts, to the priv
ilege Of any more improbable explana-
tions than any other person, nor is he
entitled to have his word taken in pref
erence to that of numerous others
simply because he is the mayor"
AS to the Governors action there is
no basis for speculation. He has here
before indicated, in the case of Sheriff
Farley, that he is not swayed by polit-
ical considerations from the course
of justice. This present issue Is more
complicated, covers a broader ground
and involves even more definitely the
possibility Of injury to his own for
tunes than that affair. Rejection OF
the mayors plea of avoidance Is as
potential of political peril as denial OF
the counseIs accusations. Truly the
present position Of the Governor OF
New York is fraught with embarrass-
ment.

The one absolutely unselfish friend

r. F. C.. OverwOrking
Inadequate Force
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1t would seem with the thousands of
people hungrily seeking jobs, hundreds
Of whom are here in Washington, that
it Is absolutely wrong and unjust for
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton to be working its present force
long hours OF the day. late into the
night and on Sundays and holidays.
II these facts be true, and I under
stand that they are, then the present
force Is inadequate. 1t Is a we'll known
fact that people so overworked cannot
give their most efficient service, and 1t
would seem that efficiency Of the
highest quality would be required in
so great an undertaking.
I would like to ask why, in the name
of humanity, when people are suffering
for the necessities of life because of the
lack of work; when the Government Is
advocating a f1ve-day week; when in
duStry is agitating the same, should
not this corporation, a Government in
stitution, not spread out its work for
jobless ones, many of whom are right
here in our own city? And why should
any one who is highly qualified to fill
a position with that corporation be
denied an opportunity to earn a living
from that source because he or she
cannot command political influence?
Every available job. in these times of
stress and suffering, not under Civil
Service, should be awarded to citizens
of this country who are mentally
morally and physically fit to fill same
else this is not a democratic form of
government, and how can 1t preach to
industry?

GlassfOrd Entitled
To Praise for Work

To the Editor CT The Star.
Washington IS fortunate in having as
its chief of police man of the high
calibcr of Maj Glassford. This is not
intended as a letter Of criticism, yet 1t
necessarily becomes so when a defense
Is attempted of Mai. Glassford'S activity.
In reality, he needs no defense. yet 1t
is the duty of every one who aspires to
be good citizen to not pass unnoticed
the many yelled criticisms from high
sources.
Perhaps a few questions might clarity
the situation:
/. When citizens squat" upon Fed
eral, property, whose duty is 1t to main
tain ORDER?
2. After permitting the so-called
"squatting' for two months, should
eviction be done at night?
length of time for the Department OF
Justice TO have established the status OF
each and every individual "squatter -
i. e., whether veteran. Red or bum?
4. When the Federal Government calls
upon the Metropolitan police for help.
as at the Capitol, should the police BE-
hampered with orders and counter
orders?
S. Has there not been sufficient time
for Federal forces to have thrown guard
around their property?
6. If the citizens were so relieved at
the eviction, why were the "squatterS"
cheered and the military not?
T. If the number of "squatters" had
dWindled as fast as the Federal Gov
ernment stated Through. Veterans Bu-
reau), would not little more patience
end still little more patience have
seen more peaceful evacuation?
8. Did any violence occur before the
eviction orGer?
9. Was not Glassfoyd correct in in
sisting upon legal authority for action?
10. Can one imagine Theodore Roose-
velt in like situation?
II. Can one imagine Abraham Lin
coin being pleased at the glow in the
sky from the burning of Camp Marks?
II. If the Government recognized a
debt by passing the adjusted compen-
sation, is that not sufficient excuse for
many ill-advised veterans wanting that
compensation when they need it?
13 Is it not evidence of a bigneSs
when a superior commendS a Subordi-
nate for an activity of which the SUI
perior should have been advised, but
was not?
1t is not good to criticize in these
times, but let's not object to the sane.
humane safe and masterful manner in
which Glassford has handled this stu
alton.
All fair-minded citizens must feel a
sense of personal shame that those in
high Office Succumbed to a feeling of
their own importance and displayed a
lack Of appreciation of even the simplest
meaning of authority. In comparison,
a sense of pride must be felt in the
actions of Washington's own product

make the fatal error of losing so able
a man because of the hysteria of high
officials. JOHN c. ECKHARDT.

Suppose we've done the best we knew
While journeying on our way.
Tomorrow will bring tasks anew
But that's another day.
The earth Is firm beneath our feet
As step by step we stray.
Tomorrow may bring change complete
But that's another day.
There's always duty to be done,
Sleep softly while you may.
Nor fear to greet the rising sun
For that's another day.

away from their strongest canddates-the candidates that would make the best executives.
 E Unfortunately for the country the Democrats all too often present the game to the opposition, whether it deserves it not by their costly They like many teams they have brilliant ind- vidua performers but too often do poor team work. And they wrangle among themselves too much in public. There are so many individuals that have pride of opinion that they refuse to CO., operate with leader. When one gets away to a good start the others attempt to hamstring him. Cleveland and Wilson were brutally attacked by other Democrats, Now many of them are trying to rend Roosevelt If they succeed and Baker or Garner or Ritche take the lead they will transfer their attack from the great New Yorker to the next man to take the lead Not since Jefferson Madison, Monroe and Jackson have the Democrats united behind leader for long at a time. They followed Cleveland for a while They followed Wilson for a while But enough of them turned against both to force them into retirement.
 What will they do now?
