Since at least 28l seats will be neces-
sary for control in the new body 1T is
plain that the "Nazis" though they
capture 200 seats, which is regarded as
the outside limit of their possible
achievement, would still be far from
their goal. Even If reinforced by the
Nationalists they would not pass 235.
And the addition of the votes of all the
many splinter" parties some OF which
are violently hostile to the Nazs, would
still leave them without a majority.
Opposition Lacks Unity.
On the other hand the opposition has
no better situation. For while almost
certainly the Social Democrats, the
Communists and the Center, in whose
numbers the Bavarian Peoples party
may be reckoned, will stand together to
oppose "NaI'' control, no real positive
alliance is possible between the Roman
Catholics, who compose the Center, and
the Reds, who take their orders from
Moscow.
Within constitutional limits only one
combination is posSible-and that Is
union OF the FaScists Nationalist and
Center, that would provide strong and
stable majority But while comblna-
ton between Fascists and Nationalist
is always possible, the present temper
of the Center is bitterly hostile to the
existing Won Papen cabinet, and is still
behind Bruening in his battle against
Hitler 1t was in the hope of rallying
the Center to the new government that
Hindenburg called Won Papen, himself
a Centrist. to become chancellor. In
stead of supporting him, the Center
party expelled him from their ranks and
went into the opposition.
Germany is now hopelessly divided
politically. Approximately one-third Of
the electorate support Hitler and the
Nazis. Another third, made up Of the
National Democrats and the Com
munists, are just as solidly opposed to
any Fascist control. As for the remain
ing third. it is in turn so hopelessly
divided that 1t does not contain group
capable Of constituting balance Of
power. Parliamentary government has
broken down because the party system
in Germany prevents the creation Of
majority.

THE ECONOMY BATTLE

Congress is like a field of battle
today, over the economy proposition,
with a casualty list in the form of
infinite toes stepped on. The lower
p, house Yirtuously started out to save
100000, which sure did look
good to Mr.. Harrassed Taxpayer.
But when the house finally passed
the bill, one by one those economies
dropped out of sight. They were like
the marbles from the boys leaky
pocket, until only $42,000,000 is
saved in the bill as passed by the
house. Great cry and little wool"
The American people demand gov
ernment economy, and a roar of pro-
test goes up against the present
level of expenditure. But when gov
ernment money Ks saved, someone's
pay has to be cut, or workers are
discharged. These people usually
have political pull, and they are
closer to congress than Mr.. Tax
payer back home.
Savings may be made in these
ways. First, a straight percentage
cut of all workers. Second, cut each
department some specific amount,
and let the heads thereof save it
where thew can. Third, reduce jobs
to a part time or short week basis,
with payments cut in proportion.
Fourth, require workers to take fur
loughs without pay.
Many of the things the govern
ment has been spending money for
seem too costly or Unnecessary. Yet
If these unessential activities are
given up, many employees will be
thrown out of work, and some have
claimed that as many as $4,000 would
thus lose their jobs. This is too
many to add to the sad army of the
unemployed.
Probably the most humane plan
would be a "stagger" system, as used |
by many corporations, in which those |
affected would work five days or |
less, to be paid according to time EN-
ployed. The government is under
the same obligation to have heart"
that a private employer is. But bal
ancing the federal budget would do
more than anything else to restore
prosperity, and it must be done.

AS the days pass let not the fact
that here in Delaware, this summer
a general registration of all who
would vote at the November election
next fall, must be made. Just five
days have been named for making
this registration, which has to be
done by the individual themselves,
to become qualified to vote. Every
man, every woman. and every per-
son who VIII become twenty-one
years old before the election, will
have to perform this action of just
a few minutes on their part, to get
on the registration lists. The old
law was repealed by the legislature
at its last session. If the men and
women of Delaware want to keep
the state prosperous, they can have
a part in doing this through regis
tration and voting at not only the
primaries, but the general election

When all do their duty at the pri-

tiVes of all the people. Just try be-
ing 100 per cent citizen for this year,
