Nasi Campaign On m '. s.?
 'No', Insist German Groups;
 Yes. Says Inquiry Chairman

NEW YORK, Nov. 28. = Two principal questions are being asked by government investigation delv- ine into pro-nazi activities in the United Stabes.
 Briefly. they are summed up as follows.
 I. Are nazis loOsing propa-
 ganda inimical to the demo- cratic form of government in
 thtis country? Or
 2. Are nazi sympathizers
 seeking only to promote bet
 ter understanding betw cen America and Germany?
 Rep. Samuel Dickstein of New York. chairman of the House Com mittee on Immigration, says: Yes to the first question; those un- der investigation say. Yes to the second.
 So far the official limelight has played chiefly on the activities of a society called the Friends of New Germany, which claims a na- tion-wide membership in the Unit ed States of 10000.
 That organization has been re- putedly under the control of Heinz Spanknoebel the German citizen recently indicted by federal grand iury for acting as a German prop aganda agent in this country with out registering with the State De- partment
 When federal authorities sought to question him he had disap- peared.
 Dr. Ignatz T. Griebl of New York. former president of the so- ciety. has been questioned by a federal grand jury in New York and is expected to be a witness before Dickstein's committee in Washington.
 Another pro-nazi leader who may llSuIt III tilS lAiddAASo H~A'5 pursued by postal and immigra- ton authorities as well as by the grand jury and the House Com mittee on Immigration. is Fritz Gissibel, who as Secretary is act ing head of the Friends Of New Germany.

AMES, Ia, Nov. 28.-Fears that land taken out of production under the Federal wheat and corn crop reduction plans and used for pas ture will incease livestock and dairy production were declared ground less by Prof Godfrey Shepherd of the Iowa State College Agricultur al Economics Department.
 Land planted to pasture pro- duces only about half as much feed as the same land in forage or grain crops, he declared, and even though all land taken out of wheat or other crop production under the agricultural adjustment program is used eventually for livestock pas ture, the total supplies of livestock products probably will be reduced.

Slow Down!

Thu tragic accident at Fourteenth
and z streets last evening raises again
the question concerning the speed OF
ambulances and fire engines In the city
streets. The occasion was hardly
needed to bring to head criticism
which has been current for many
months. The subject has been dis
cussed again and again, and time Is
amply ripe for drastic reform.
Granted that ambulances and fire
engines have emergency duties and
emergency privileges, it still remains
perfectly apparent that there is rate
of speed which is rashly dangerous in
the crowded thcroughfares of down.
town Washington, and that that rate is
commonly exceeded by the drivers Of
vehicles OF this special class. Any ten
dency to argue the matter is pretty
thoroughly disposed Of by the fact that,
as last nights crash demonstrated
anew, the theoretical objective of too
great haste Is defeated by accidents
which occur when it is permitted. In
the present case child was killed and
six persons were injured in vain effort
to 60 to the assistance of a man whose
condition did not warrant such risk
as was taken. Had the man been
mortally hurt, the panic hurry would
have been useless Actually, he ap-
pears to have been in no spsciai peril.
A better case can be made out for
the apparatus Of the Fire Department.

Incendiarism in Politics.

IN a political campaign marked by
murder, assassination, mob vengeance,
gagging of the press and suppression OF
free speech, it is hardly surprising that
incendiarism should also play its part.
The burning of the Reichstag Building
at Berlin, following week end which
recorded toll of thirteen deaths, last
night ushered in the final week of the
German campaign for the parliament
ary elections which take place next
Sunday
The fire is reputedly of Communist
origin. Acting on that theory, Capt.
Goering, Chancellor Hitler's all-power-
full minister of the interior in charge OF
police. early today ordered the arrest
of all the one hundred Communist
members of the Reichstag. Apparently
action is the fact that yesterday after
noon, few hours before the ornate
pile on the Bismarck Pletz was set
alame, a meeting Of the Communist
parliamentary group was taking place
in the Reichstag Building. Presumably
Capt. Goering is convinced that a
blaze, which broke out simultaneously
in fourteen different parts of the struc-
ture. could only have been organized"
by miscreants lately on the spot. In
Oent, it doubtless serves the Hitlerite
Campaign purposes, at this strategic
moment, to depict this arch foes, the

A Curb That Doesn't Curb.

From the Sioux Falls Daily Argus-Leader.
Two years ago the adjoining States
of Iowa and Minnesota enacted laws
requiring a period Of five days between
the issuance of marriage license and
the ceremony. No such rule exists in
South Dakota. Here the marriage can
take place Immediately after the license
has been obtained.
The result was an influx into South
Dakota on the part Of Iowans and Min
nesotans who were eager to be married
without delay. In 1882 this marital
business from across the borders of
our State reached substantial prOpor-
tions. Last year ITO couples from Min
nesota and 148 from Iowa came to
Sioux Falls to obtain their licenses. In
addition there were many others in
which one person was from Minnesota
and the other from Iowa. The figures
from Minnesota and Iowa purchased
their licenses in Minnehaha County.
A similar influx was noticed in all
the border counties of South Dakota
From a commercial viewpoint. these
visitors have brought business. and the
flve-day laws in Iowa and Minnesota
have been a good thing for South Da-
kota. OF course, this should not be
the determining factor. There are
more important considerations. Have
the five-day laws in Minnesota and
Iowa prevented hasty marriages? Hard
ly, If We are to judge by the number
of residents Of those States who were
married in South Dakota as well as
other States. The same result would
likely develop from the enactment Of
five-day law here. Iowa Is about to
repeal her five-day law. Thus, if we
had a five-day law. residents of this
section of South Dakota would cross
the border into Iowa and thus evade
the limitations.
It Is perhaps better to allow things
to stand as they are. We already have
too much restrictive legislation on the
statute books

permit him to acquire 1t.
The owner who fails to realize this
Is laying up trouble for his pet, because
nothing is surer than that dog, how
ever smart and capable, will meet his
doom at this sport, sooner or later, If
he Is allowed to continue it.
an owner willing to put little time
and patience on him, in this regard, he
can be trained to let the cars alone.
After all, there Is nothing sillier for
these four-legged friends to do than
this business Of chasing automobiles.
Some dogs seem to recognize this. for
they never show the slightest sign of
running into the street and keeping
their noses as close as they can get
them to the turning wheel.
Usually 1t Is front wheel which they
select, and this makes the sport doubly
dangerous, because II the driver, be-
coming nervous, swerves his front
wheels the slightest bit and touches
the dog, the animal stands every chance
Of being hit by the rear wheels. too.
Pursuing motor cars is sport with
out sense to 1t; dogs, of all animals,
ought to indulge In sports which re-
quire some brains, since they have
plenty.
From the standpoints Of safety and
intelligence, therefore, the senseless
chasing Of motor cars ought to cease.
One may feel that dog owner who
permits his pet to indulge in this pleas

There are two ways to put the fear
of cars into the canine mind.
One is the stern voice.
Every sensible owner has two voices
for his dog, one pleasant. and therefore
most used. and one stern and forbid
ding, in the best sense.
If the pleasant voice Is used as the
ordinary voice, the dog quickly comes
to know the difference between 1t and
the special voice, which Is or ought to
be the forbidding tone.
Surely. 1t Is some trouble to take q
dog In hand right at first.
In regard to chasing automobiles. the
dog must never be permitted to get a
taste Of It.
This will mean that the owner must
make it his duty, pleasurable or other

the street.
Not all dogs do it, fortunately.
A swift command to desist. uttered in
ones best stern manner, will make any
doc hesitate.
If that is not enough 1t should be
coupled with a sight of the whip.
If these do not suffice. slight taste
of the latter instrument will break any
dog Of bad habit before 1t is acquired
Some people not familiar with dogs
have the idea, when one speaks Of a
whip. that a terrible instrument big
enough to handle oxen or mules is
what is meant.
A dog whip. however. need not be
very ferocious; very slight one will do

sary. Its application. far from being

should desire to burn down the empty
Reichstag building on the eve Of an
election that their opponents declare
to be unimportant. in that 1t will not
affect their retention Of power. Cabling
from Berlin under this mornings date,
Mr.. Birchan suggests In the New York
Times that the sole theory which
seems plausible is that the fire would
be attributed to the National Socialists
and that the odium Of 1t would fall on
that party"
If it should turn out that the Com
munists really did put the Reichstag
building to the torch 1t will be fresh
proof that terrorism begets terrorism.
Singled out with the Social Democrats
as the elements which must be crushed
at all costs, the Hitler "Naxis" since the
inception of the present parliamentary
campaign have visited upon both par
ties, and the Communists In particular,
the most brutal and ruthless restrictive
measures In German political history.
Their newspapers have been killed of.
Their meetings have been prohibited.
Hitler storm troops and Hugenberg
Steel Helmets have manhandled Com
munist agitators almost as If they were
armed invaders or common criminals.
Communist tenets and methods are
abhorrent to all other classes Of the
German populace. as they are to the
people Of most countries outside Of
Russia, and deserve the sternest resist
ance. But, after all, Germany's Com
munists comprise a recognized political
party, the second largest in the Reich
stag after the Hitlerites themselves.
Thsse facts and figures do net license
them to be incendiaries, but they per-
haps explain why they feel goaded into
combating their mcrciless antagonists
with every possible weapon at their
command, even fire.
