Old Ghost Walks

A ND so I went home in due course
"A and looked at something I had
written about Hitler. I looked at it
in cold type, which somehow gives
different effect. and I found that
by substituting the kaiser" in every
place where Adolf Hitler" appeared
it might have stood as a pretty
characteristic piece for the DAYS
when America was doing its road
work in preparation for the great
war.
I don't think I used the word
"atrocity," but the rest of it practi-
cally was a carbon copy.
Then, as now, there was talk of
an economic boycott. We were asked
to sign little slips of paper pledging
ourselves never again to buy any
thing made in Germany, and as we
signed we never thought of the fact
that 1t was a pledge to press star
walton and misery upon millions of
workers whom we never had seen.
And, indeed, it was bond by
which this enmity was to be carried
out against their children and down
through the generations.
Thousands chanted in the streets
of New York, I'VE want Hitler with
rope around his neck" and 1 re-
membered that we were going to
''hang the kaiser to a sour apple
tree"
We didn't, but we chased him into
Holland, and the might and majesty
of the German empire was crushed.
And we did it all by hating. And
we were proud of our hatred

EUROPE presents anything but an suspicious
~ background for peace conferences. Con-
sentative England is plainly worried, while
shreWd foresghted France hardly knows which
way to turn.
Htlerisrn Justly can be blamed, but Hitlerism
is a logical consequence of the wholesale blum
dering that has characterized European policy
since the war,
Hitlerism was not only on the way, but due
to win three years ago. England knew IL,
France knew it, everybody knew it, but nothing
was done
Though pretending to wish a better setup,
statesmen went right on with their small minded
iockeying for advantage, their pitifully made
quate compromises their partial agreements and
restrictive alliances.
There is a definitely French coalition stretch
ing across central Europe, a definitely anti
Italian Balkan bloc, and definitely stupid idea
that peace can be arranged in spite of it all.
lit is right that we should confer with Euro
pean representatives if and when they desire,
It is not right that we should close our eyes to
the realities of their situation or expect more
than is reasonably possible under the circum-
stances.
XXTHAT they really want from us is further

reduction as we can be persuaded to grant, and
for just as little in return as they can get away
with.
armament if we make it worth their while. They
will accept tariff truce with such reservations
as are necessary to safeguard the advantages
they now enjoy
They will cooperate for the sterilization Of
money if it is on such basis as will keep the
dollar relatively high in comparison with their
own deprecated currencies.
I am we'll aware of how harsh such state
ments sound, but we have been messing around
with European politics and problems for the
last seventeen years and what have we to show
for it? We have $4,000 dead in France and
ten times as many sick or disabled veterans at
home
We have tax load that is breaking cur
backs We have League of Nations we can't
stomach, a Russia thus far have failed to
recognize and Hitler in the kaisers place.
We have the envy if not the i'll will of those
we tried to help and the privilege Of fighting for
rights and reforms which we assumed would be
recognized as part of the victory.

II to world recovery. but are we going to buy
Europe'S consent. when Europe has everything
to gain by it? If Europe paid less for armies
and navies it would have more with which to
be that We ought to reduce those debts in ex-
change for Europe'S agreement to maintain
/ smaller armies and navies
/ The argument is that we can depend on in
creased trade with Europe if this bargain goes
through but who knows? Why not adopt the
French custom OF demanding little guarantee?
Already, some European journals are predict

and supplies.

Hatred as q Fine Art

7 REMEMBER now an afternoon
4 in the year 1917 in the CITY of
Lyons. They were bringing back
French soldiers from German
prison camps. The Germans sent
back those who were mutilated or
tubercular or in any way unfit for
! further war utility
And large French colonel with
big voice made a speech to these
men. And he said: You have
been sent back by the Germans be-
cause they believe that there is no
further service which you can
render to France. They are wrong.
You can help to keep alive that
hatred which is so necessary to our
cause.
And now 1 want to hear you give
that cry which so long has been for
hidden to you-Vive la Francep"
And his voice rang out and he
raised both arms in the air, and we
wept and cried and shouted.
Yes, we were so proud Of hatred
that we wrote it into a treaty and
declared that it should stand for all
time. The German menace was
gone forever. We had hated it out
Of existence, and We carved Hate"
across the face of this final COM
pact.
But it wasn't. At the end of
fifteen years we found that the
blood Of the world had been shed
to put Hitler in the place Of a
Kaiser. And so we are starting to
say, Let's begin hating all over
again"
The Menace of the Weak
T SAY mol" to that. I think
Il something quite different must
be tried.
By a curious paradox, it is not
the strength of Germany which
menaces the world, but its weak
ness.
In establishing conditions which
insured the economic ruin of the
nation, we ruined ourselves.
1t was a little as if a swimmer
said to his enemy, I'm going to
drag you down to the bottom of the
ocean and choke you to death"
Sooner or later that swimmer would
find that unless he IoOsed his grin
he, too, would be mired down among
the dead men.
Democracy failed in Germany.
Socialism failed. The Communist
party never came actually into
power, but it's achievements and
effectiveness in that land hardly
can be called brilliant.
Everything failed, and everything
was meant to fail It was written
in the treaty that Germany was to
be forever a death valley Of drv
bones.
And so we have no right to look
askance at even the most outland-
ish things which have happened
beyond the Rhine
And hate is tWo-edged weapon.
1t slashes both the hated and the
hater. Put down that sword!"

President Will Get
Oil Agreement Today
Despite Objections
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Indications that the great oil indus
try's trade code would go to President
Roosevelt with few changes were given
today by Hugh S. Johnson, the recovery
administrator, after strong criticisms Of
it had been lodged with him by petro-
leum leaders.
In his press conference. johnson said
the submission of the code to the indus
try by the N. r. A. and administration
was not high-handed proposition, be-
cause these people have had every
chance to represent any possible views;
johnson indicated some slight revi-
sions might be made in the program

but indicated it would definitely go to
the President today.

One change he said he would make

Government shall allocate production to

HEURICH BREWERY
THREATENED BY FIRE
Spectacular Blaze, Doing Little
Damage, Started by Torches
in Basement.

A small but spectacular blaze broke
out early this afternoon in the Heurich
Brewery, Twenty-sixth and D streets,
bringing firemen from all parts OF the
downtown section and attracting large
crowd.
Using a powder fire extinguisher the
second time in eight years, tiremen ex-
tinguished the flames almost as quick
ly as they had started. Two alarms
were sounded.
Christian Heurich, 91-year-old own
er of the brewery, summoned by en-
ployes, hastened to the plant, but the
firemen had worked so quickly that the
fire was out when he arrived.
The fire broke out in the boiler room
in the basement, where acetylene
torches were being used to cut out
pipes. Oil from one of the pipes
formed puddle on the floor and sparks
from the torches ignited it. The flames
shot up in spectacular fashion and
large clouds Of dense black smoke
flowed up from the building
Employees of the brewery continued
at their work while the fire was In

But whether the voting, which is

violated narcotic laws in doping
horses.
Among the principal defendants were
A. A. Baroni, described as an owner OF
race horses; Jack Howard, manager for
a stable owned by his wife, and Ben

stable owned by his wife.
The indictments followed investiga-
tions at Chicago race tracks by Federal

PENDANTS in the case have pleaded guilty
and we're sentenced to penitentlary

gathered by Ralph M. Oyler, former
chief of the narcotic division in Chi
cago. He conducted an investigation
which led Federal operatives to most
of the principal race tracks, discovered
the wholesale doping" of horses, some
times to make them run faster and
sometimes to make them jog along
like pillow animals.

with having drugs constantly in their
possession from last February II until
the July 20 raid, when they were seized
