COUNTRY REJOICES AT ROOSEvELTS
 ESCAPE.
ESCAPE.

It was with feeling of profound relief and deep rejoicing the country greeted last night the news broadcast throughout the length and breadth of the land that Presdent-E Roosevelt had es- caped unscathed the bullets from the gun of a woud-be assassin There was regret, equally deep, that Mayor Anton Cermak Chicagos progressive Chief Executive had fallen a victim to the assault of the same criminal, and a fervent hope that he would survive his wound which at a late hour last night (when this was written) considered dan gerous if not fatal
 As radio broadcasters told the story of the amaz- ing effort to slay the selected by Americans last November by an overwhelming majority to head their Government for the next four years, beginning with next March 4 his escape almost miraculous But for the fact that he had just the instant before the first shot was fired lowered himself from a standing posture to seat himself in the automobile in which he travelled the bullet of the murderer would have reached him. Not all of the caution and protection of the Governments Secret Service guards the New York police guards and his attend ing friends were sufficient to have saved from the bullet It is such incidents as these that point to the existence of a Higher Power that watches over men Whatever it was fate instinctve action on his own part or intervention of Unseen Ruler, all Ameri- cans are profoundly grateful that Franklin Deane Roosevelt is spared to them to head their Govern rnent in this time of stress, great majority of them supremely confident he will justify the faith they expressed in him last November and which has not faltered since then.
 The attack was, in the words of President Hoover. "dastardly" one Swift and punish ment should be meted out to it's perpetrator.

PRESIDENT MOWERS SWAN SONG.

On the whole, President Hoover's Lincoln Day Dinner speech at the National Republican Club Tn New York City timely and in good taste. II he took occasion to predict return of his party to power while urging cooperative action at home ana internationally to solve the vexatous problems now pestering the world who will criticise? After all no one should desire to deny him that much consolation in his swan song the Nations Chief Executive
 Nor will his assertion be seriously challenged
 Inevitably, if party government of the Republic IS to continue in the future it has been known in the past the Democratic Party sooner or later must bow to it's traditional rival. There were some as the case in 1928 when Hoover was elected after his defeat overwhelmingly last November in the landslide that swept his fellow party men out of office great and small, had visions of immediate dissolution of the G. O. P. It wasn't true in 1928
 evidenced by 1892, and it isn't true now The Republican Party has life in it, and it's ultimate return to power is naturally to be expected IT, as

loyal Democrats we express the hope it may be long deferred we trust we shall give no offense.
 But the President mnimized partisan politics. He preached the doctrine of cooperative effort vigorously He urged the importance of sound money for all the world especially for the United States, and the duty of this country to aid it's fellow nations to stabilize their own financial structures and abolish cheap currencies He was against war debt cancellation and pointed out that Americas debtors today expendng many times the sums armament that is owed by them to this country. In disarmament he the real source of economic stabilization rather than in debt cancellation He warned against economic warfare, which would be brought on if this country cheapened it's dollar declaring it would further isolate us from the rest of the world destroy our remaining foreign trade and deepen rather than tighten current depression clouds
 In his plea for Republican cooperation with the Roosevelt Administration the President was rather vague. True he urged that assistance, but hedged 1t with the phrase "an constructive neasures" urg ing opposition to those which are harmful Who is to be the judge of constructive and harmful measures, Republicans Democrats? It may be as difficult for the former to anything forward looking in Democratic programs as for the latter to admit anything harmful in them. That is not the sort of promise and performance the Democratic House of Representatives gave to President Hoover himself in 1881 It promised to enact into egsla- ton all of the measures sought by MT. Hoover to deal with the forces of depression and it gave him everything he asked for that purpose It would be equally wise for the Republicans lend MT Eoose welt the sort of cooperation in putting his own programs into effect

Credit and Credulity.
(NeW York Times.)

The story of Ivar Kreuger is now being retold before Senate committee in Washington Not everything in it is to the discredit of human nature social organization. Fraud and forgery there; greed and cupidity there; reckless ness the part of investing public that was so often gembling public; ignorance and laxity on the part of presumed specalists-it is not pretty story. Yet it does not faithfully characterize our times to say that in them it was possible for man like Kreuger to perpetrate the greatest swinde in history.
 Kreuger able to forge and embezze a gigantic scale for the very that in modern society credit operates on gigantic scale. He was able to practice monstrous abuse of trust for the very reason that the basis of economic system is the fact that men trust each other in business Cash and collateral back up only small part of the trade of the world. Underlying all econ omic activities is the assumption that men will pay for what they buy, do what they promise to do, take only what is their own pass honest money instead of counterfeit, and sign their own names the dotted line instead of somebody elses name.
 Ivar Kreuger is in this sense like Al Capone He is an indication that something is wrong with us, perhaps even seriously wrong with us but that bascay we are sound. Racketeers can terrify a community for the reason that it is a civilized community in which 99 persons out of every 100 do not carry guns and so are in position to shoot it out with a gangster Kreuger can swndle vir- tuay the whole civilized world because men in business normally do not defraud each other. MT George O. May was talking sound sense when he reminded the Norbeck committee that Kreuger was a unique phenomenon, and that you cannot 'legislate for business the basis of monstrous exception.
