I suppose felt the same way

were wiped from my mind and,
as plainly as though someone

Perhaps you'll say I imagined
it, or just remembered some
thing I heard somewhere else.
Perhaps. I don't know, and it
doesn't matter. I only know I

No Courts Under a
Military Dictatorship

MILITARY O1CIdIOL SAAP
If they are not quiet they
will be shot-and have been
so warned. And nothing is
such a sedative for excite
ment.
The reason given by Won
Papen is that the regularly
constituted d and legally
elected authorities in Prussia
have not shown enough vigor
in suppressing the Commu-
nists. To the world outside
the perils Of Communism in
Germany have seemed mega
tive.
Bruening, former chancel-
lor, who had the confidence
of the outside world to a
much greater degree than
Won Papen, and who was as
remote from communistic
sympathies as any man alive,
has just denounced the mill
tary gesture for ousting and
humiliating DR.. Severlng,
former minister of the in
terror, "who gave u years of
his life to fighting for state
authority and against Com
munism.'"
It remains to be seen
whether or not this high
handed setting aside of con-
stitutional rights will drive
the Socialists into the radical
camp. If continued long
enough it unquestionably
will.
Meanwhile Bavaria is out
ragged and is preparing to
test Won Papen's act in the
supreme court.
But the same military
power and autocratic theory
can turn the court out at
the point of the bayonet as
we'll as ministers.
Under a military Dictator
ship there are no courts.

Take Your
Choice

There is so much con-
fusion and so much contra
diction in Germany in the
Interpretation of the mean
ing of Won Pap6n's extraor-
dinary act that we shall
have to wait awhile to get
the truth. Thus we hear
that Hindenburg has re-
sorted to this method to
keep Hitler and the Fascists
from power; and we have
this other Interpretation:
Herr Hitler is rid of the
Braun-Severing regime which
for more than a year has
blocked him in Prussia by
virtue of the control Of the
police.
Take your choice.
Meanwhile, all the enemies
of democracy and the re-
public in Germany are jubi-
liant. Whether the Commu-
nists win, or the Fascists
win, or the military dicta-
torship persists, democracy
loses and the republic goes
to the scrap heap.
But all these things which
have been transpiring in
Europe this week do not con-
Germ the people; for these
things deal with govern
ment, and those responsible
frankly think that people are
made to be governed by
force - not govern them
selves.
However, these things are
for the Italians and the Ger
mans, and not for us to pass
upon. Any nation has the
right to any form of govern
ment it desires or to which
it submits. Nothing that is
done anywhere today for the
suppression of the people
will shock us, or even greatly
interest us, as it would a
few years ago, before it be-
came fashionable in high fl
nancial circles and among
the intelligentsia, which fol
lows high finance, to jeer at
the mass of the people and
sneer at democracy.
Meanwhile, a few Of US
find ourselves more and
more convinced that Eng
land, more than any other
nation in the world today,
has a government responsive
to the public will, and we
observe that no country is
doing better in digging in
and digging out of the de-
preston.

A Warning
To Europe

A warning
To Europe
That it would call for spe-
ci1 attention is recognized
in elaborate stories from
Rome assuring us that it
does not mean a break be-
tween the two best known
of the Fascists. But quite
another Interpretation comes
from London, ascribed to
diplomatic circles" there.
The Interpretation there is
that Grandi has been dis
missed by Mussolini in a
passion because of the
wholly unsatisfactory part
played by Italy in the
Lausanne conference, where
the young diplomat repre-
sented her.
Grandi was conciliatory;
and the hot-heads among
Mussolini's followers are not
strong for Cancellation. Italy
was left out of the most i'm
portant negotiations, and
Mussolini can resent a slight
as quickly as any man in
history. An Anglo-French
agreement was reached with
out Grandi's knowledge, and
France is not loved by Italy.
Thus Grandi is dismissed.
And Mussolini assumes the
portfolio of foreign affairs,
not out IF compliment to
Grandi, but as a warning to
Europe.
Time will tell. Meanwhile
many of us, with no SYM
pathy with autocracies, will
regret the humiliation, if
such it is, of the sparkling
young Italian Of the ro-
mantle career.
Quite a different and more
serious story is that in Ger
many. When Won Papen, Of
the war lord variety, was
made chancellor it was gen.
orally interpreted as a move
toward militarism; as a step
toward the crushing of both
the republic and democracy
in Germany; as a prelimi-
nary to the establishment in
power Of the element that
contributed nightly to Ger
many's ruin, but with more
power than ever in it's hands.
The spectacular action Of
this week will strengthen
that conviction. Prussia is
under martial law. The con-
stitution has been set aside.
The rights associated with
liberty have been discon-
tinued. The freedom of the
press and of speech and of
assembly has been denied.
The cabinet has been ousted
by force. Public officials,
duly elected, have been
elected by the military.
The army is in possession
of Berlin. The people are
quiet, " though milling
around in the street." and

THIS has been a spectacu-
Il lar season for the dicta-
tors, and no one, aside from
these, knows positively what
it is all about, The sud-
den cabinet upheaval in Italy
can be and has been ex-
planned as in no sense de-
rogatory Of the dismissed
ministers, but as in conform
ity with Mussolini's policy
of rotation in office. The
purpose, we are told, is to
give all or many of the
bright young men of Musso-
lini's organization expert
ence in government and in
different branches of gov
ernment so as to build up
ga ruling class" "
For under all govern
mental forms except Democ-
racy, which now is anathema
to so many, a class rules and
all other classes are ruled.
However, the dismissal of
Grandi from the ministry of
foreign affairs does not look
so simple. We came to
know this brilliant young
man with the beaming black
eyes and the flashing smile
when he was here on a
secret mission to Mr.. Hoover,
came to know him and to
succumb to the charm of his
personality. He has been
described as the Talleyrand-
in-the-making for the Napo-
leon of Italy. 1t has been
assumed that he was in
training under the super,
vision Of the master for the
succession when Mussollni
passes. Thus his dismissal
calls for special attention.
