LET HITLER SPEAK

A American publishing company is about
TO issue a book written by none other
than Adolf Hitler; and it hardly is surprising
that the American Hebrew and Jewish Tribune
has printed an editorial assailing the pub
fishers for the step, charging them with IAN
attempt TO cash in on the misery and catas-
trophe Of an important section OF the human
family"
But although it is easy to understand this
protest, it is necessary to point out that TO
try to stop publication or circulation OF this
book would be to commit the very error which
Hitler himself has committed
Hitler shocked free people everywhere by
suppressing books of which he did not ap-
prove: Jewish organization that tried to
suppress his book would be following squarely
in his footsteps
The very essence of free speech is that you
are obliged to let your btterest enemy speak
his mind freely. no matter how violently you
are opposed to what he says.

THE ST. LOUIS EPIDEMIC

L ETHARGIC ENCEPHALITIS sleeping
= sickness-is prevalent in ST. Louis Since
July 30, 131 persons in ST. Louis have fallen III
of this disease. Thirteen have died. 1t is one of
the most dreaded sicknesses: when not fatal it

the case.
This disease is different from the other
kind of sleeping sickness which used to be
such a terrible scourge in Africa before science
learned that it was carried by the tse-tse fly.
The virus of encephalitis has not been iso-
lated and the means by which it is transmitted
is not known definitely. St Louis is endeavor-

Of the st. Louis outbreak will be the means of
affording science with the data by which out

|M.E.TracySays

TRUE to the American habit of getting
l. unnecessarily het up, we have allowed
enthusiasm to put some very nonsensical ideas
into our heads with regard to NRA. From the
beginning it has been touted and advertised too
much as a self starting, hair trigger remedy
For no reason in the world, absurdy short
periods have been announced for its success O..
failure. In sixty days, this or that would
happen, or if the program is not in full swing by
ninety days. we might well kiss it goodbye
Such chatter IS ridiculous. Whoever heard
of system like that proposed in the National
Recovery Act being perfected in few months?
President Roosevelt has not presented this
country with an Aladdin's lamp. He merely has
laid out program whereby the people can work
their way back to prosperity. 1t is going to take
time. however, and not only time, but courage
and energy.
We are not dealing with a magic grab bag
which holds a prize for every one who signs the
code. puts a Blue Eagle in his window. What
ever We get we are going to pay for in the end,
and our willingness to pay is the determining
factor of its success. You simply can't collect on
a crop until you have Sown, cultivated and
harvested it.
WE are in for. long hard pull. The Presi-
w dent merely has provided us with system
by which We can pull together. 1t is absurd to
imagine that We can reach the millennium with
single jerk. or that we can reach it at all IN
less every one does his or her part.
Higher wages and higher cost of raw ma
terial bound to be reflected in higher retail
prices That is where the consuming public will
meet its job of helping TO bring about recovery
The thought of buying cheaper goods. getting
work done at a lower price, and waiting for
bargains must be set aside.
There are two ways Of raising the general
level OF values in this country. One is by re-
ducing the dollar; the other is by paying the
bill and paying it cheerfully
We already have reduced the dollar to a
considerable extent: whether it should be re-
duced still farther by arbitrary decree is ques-
tionable. If it is not we have no choice but to
accept such an advance in prices as the new
wage scales farm relief and other plans OBJ
viously involve.
THE program outlined by President Roosevelt
Il is not only complicated but stupendous. It
represents changes that are little short of revo-
lutionary in our business methods. 1t compels
hundreds Of thousands Of employers to readiust
their cost systems, accounting methods. and
schemes of operation. It calls for reorganization
all along the line, as well as sweeping estab-
l.shment Of government boards supervisors and
inspectors.
We should not expect this summer to reveal
more than reasonably good idea Of how the
program works and some Of the major difficult
ties which must be overcome
We should not regard it as having failed
because certain Of these difficulties were unfore-
seen. or present perplexing problems. TX. sum
lt all up we should not invite disappointment
~ feeling foolShly optimistic.

CENAToR JAMES NJ. COUZENS of Mich
- igan made a remark during Detroit's cur
rent bank investigation which deserves good
deal of consideration
"A lot of things happened in national banks
for which no criminal prosecution can be
brought" he said. But if civilization is to
exist and rely on criminal law and not on
morals and ethics, we might as well give up."
The ethics of banks here and outside could
not be prosecuted, out some of the acts were
as vicious and as shameful as could be-"
Isn't it possible that one of the big things
wrong with us in the last decade was that
we got to relying-in all walks of life. and
not just in the banking fleld-too much on
criminal law and not enough on ethics?
We let ourselves assume that whatever a
man could get away with was all right. It
might be morally wrong, it might be against
public policy, but if it were legal there was
nothing to be subsequently, if it made
money for somebody.
We shall not have a sound national life
until we get new attitude

Waiting its cause or causes.
In addition TO physical causes of
fatigue, it is necessary to consider
possible causes on the mental side.
Women, more frequently than men,
suffer with psychogenic fatigue.
When ambitions are thwarted,
when one works constantly at an
occupation in which he is little if at
all interested, when conditions in
the home are irritating and uninter-
esting, there may come constant
feeling Of tiredness, passing on in
deed in some cases to serious neu-
rasthenia or psychasthenia.
Obviously, the important factor in
the control of psychogenic fatigue is
to find out the basic mental causes.
1t is only by an understanding Of
these causes that relief can be
secured.

Mr.. HALLE BECOMES PILOT

A T the age Of IS, Samuel Halle of Cleveland
receives an airplane pilots license and
orders new plane.
He qualified for his license by fifty hours
of successful solo flight from a field near the
city.
He is to be congratulated on his initiative
at taking up a new sport that is bound to
keep him young for long, long time.
Mr.. Halle's example is one worth following
by more men of his age. Not many to be
sure, are able to afford flying lessons to say
nothing of the purchase of plane of their

we would turn from time to time to some

WRECKING THE SCHOOLS

2 all our alleged worship Of education as
Il foundation of democracy. schools are
the st sufferers in the depression. Teachers
are 20 unpaid. The school year is being
shortened and many schools are closed al
together.
Cities and rural counties refuse to carry the
primary burden Of public education but they
continue to cling to the inefhcencies. extrav-
agances. and graft which virtually have bank
rupt local government and taxpayers.
Reports show that 10000 teachers have been
dropped from schools in thirty-three states
which indicates more than 100000 in the en-
tire country. That means the denial of normal
education to about 100000.
In addition, fifteen more states have cut the
school term. Some have reduced it to one or
two months a year.
This collapse in the American educational
system occurs at the moment when it is
needed most Besides the normal enrolment
OF children now being turned away from full
school terms, additional millions of children
are being taken out of industry by the de-
preston and the recovery act
This applies not only to former child labor
ers who now are supposed TO go to school; 1t
applies also to young people who should be
kept in high school and college to reduce I'M
employment.
This problem is too grave and far-reach.ng
to be solved by tinkering expedients But as
temporary measure. we at least may be thank
ful for the decision of the Roosevelt admin
stration to use the federal emergency relief
administration.
Relief Administrator Hopkins has notified
Governors and state agencies that federal re-
lief funds will be used in part to pay wage re-
lief to teachers of rural schools hitherto or
dered closed or curtailed for lack of funds. and
to pay wage relief to teachers for adult educa-
ton in English of ilterates in country and
cities.
Such a stopgap can not save the situation.
But for a few months it may prevent worse
disintegration of the school system. pending
more direct and adequate action by the re-
sponsible states or, if the states fall then
action by congress.

Mr.. O'Hara the power to speak for
all Irishmen and those of Irish

the column at all.
Mr.. O'Hara merely means that

Why doesn't he say this-no more,

And it even may be that the irri-

By One of the Goats.
This letter is meant only to set
forth facts on the present unfair
method of taxation.
The home owner is the goat He
foots the bills of city, county and
state governments, and this method
is all wrong.
People who Go not own homes and
pay little or no taxes enjoy all the
services of the above-named gov
ernments. such as police and fire
protection, public schools, parks,
Fairgrounds, ash and garbage collec-
tons, improved streets and alleys,
sewers, etc.
These things are all made posi-
Die by taxes paid by the property
owners. If you think not, just in
vestigate and see how long these
things would be possible if tax was
eliminated from real estate. The
person who does not own property
would be admitted readily to the
city hospital without any charge,
while the property owner would be
barred. although he actually is the
one who makes this institution pos
sible.
The property owners should or
ganize and revolt against such an
unfair situation. One persons share
in the expense of these governments
should be just as much as another's.
There is only one fair method of
taxation, and that is on income only.
Then every ones share would be
the same. Whether great or small,
he would be doing his part and. after
all, the difference in income makes
the difference in people.
This method of taxation would be
fair to all, rich and poor alike. All
income should be taxed, no matter
what its source. and the home owner
should receive an exemption of
$1,000 10 partly repay him for the
excess he has paid all these years.
Encourage people to own homes.
1t is the fine residential districts
that make city, and not the cheap
rental property.

Like the vast majority of the
working class, I am for the NRA
program 100 per cent. I wish to
protest. however, the exempting of
an industry that is responsible for
about 5 per cent of the unemploy-
