Black Says NRA Not

Washington, July l4.-(P-Blue
eagles need not perch on the should

from the federal reserve banks, in the
opinion Of Governor Black Of the fed

In contrast to the RIGS stand in

He pointed out that the law, which
authorized the reserve banks to make

Congress stipulated that the loans

The speech, to which many parts OF
the world (including America) listen
ed, stood as q definite marker on Hit
ler's road to the building Of . new
Germany.
Hundreds Of Nasis rose and cheered
when the addreSs-an explanation Of
the execution Of storm troop leaders
and others June 30-was ended. The
chancellor scarcely noticed them. He
slumped into his chair, and seemed
dazed and somewhat bewildered. His
head fell, almost to his knees.
The address was I1itler's answer to
those who criticized the "liouidation
OF traitors" It was his defiance OF
his foes and his anneal for continued

authority.
Speech Called Unconyincing
Opinion Is divided among foreign
observers as to what extent the chan
cellor succeeded in his purpose. Many
hold that Hitler IS now on the de-
fensive, in contrast to his position
during the early months Of his chan
cellorship. These observers call the
speech one Of the least convincing
OF any Hitler has made.
Most Of Germany's burning prob

The chancellor. however, sounded
defiance to any foreign power that
seeks to express their criticism by

Of boycotts Germany would make her

of our inventors and chemists"
He took full responsibility for the

Noticing this, the reichstag was

Instead of leaving matters the discretion Of
the officials however every Of them has to be pre-

The result is totally unnecessary imposition upon the
time Of busy Senators and Representatives.
Members of Congress must first consider the bills in

Strong Wind

It's that breath taking quality
about high wind that gets me
down. I can't even take one Of
those warm-air blowers that
BARRIERS dry your face off with.

some idea that a facial clay
pack drew the blood from the

"THE neckD.
But, no matter where he
aimed it, the full blast found
"the" noStrils, and I ended up
by breathing in ten convulsive
breaths a second, with never a
chance for an exhale. Panic
followed, and I usually found
myself standing out on the floor
beside the chair, gasping and
rolling my eyes, man one inch
removed from suffocation and
in full realization of the fact.
It always ended by the barber
tanning me for the rest Of the
process, and with a very small
fan. too.
Going head-on into a high
wind does the same thing to
me, all intake and no out-go;
and yet I keep going head-on
into high winds. I court panic
and suffocation. But I guess

it gets to going 100000, it is

I would be terrified in
decentralization wind. I
am terrified even in a full
gale. I am not frightened
about being blown over, for I
am quite a big boy now and can
hold my own against a pretty
strong wind. But there is some
thing sinister about a force
that you can't even see. If the
wind is full of snow or rain,
I like it, and often button my
pajamaS up tight around my
neck and go out for a walk
in it. But when it just comes
at you as invisible wind, I get
a little panicky.
And yet there is a fascina-
tion about being terrified that
sends me out on deck when
the blow is at its height. I
would much rather be cover
ing below with the bed-clothes
over my head, but some maso-
chistic streak in me makes me
push my way right up into the
bow, where I stand, gaSping
for breath and wondering how
long it will be before she is
blown right back on her hind
legs and we all are tipped back
over the taff-rail. How fast
is she blowing?" I ask passing
sailors, hoping that they won't
answer, for if they tell me that

Yet I am convinced that
most of the tributes paid to
motherhood are pernicious bunk
and that motherhood, itself,
is being increasingly used as a
vicious racket.
Why this wild, indiscriminate
praise for mothers, per Sc? 1t
is no unique achievement to be
a mother. It is a painful proc
ess, but rarely deserving of the
wreathS it gets.
The simple fact is that few
of us decide to be mothers. We
do not walk, voluntarily, into
the jaws Of death. We are not
heroic adventures, Self-sacrific-
ing martyrs. We are human be-
ings, warm with life, and moth
erhood is part Of the process
frequently a most unwelcome
part.
Moreover, to a real woman,
motherhood is worth any price
she may have to pay for it.
Never yet did you hear a real
mother whining about "all she
had suffered" and expecting
medals. It's only the quitters,
parasites and racketeerS who
try to get extra dividends on
something which should be its
own reward.
Moreover, it does not follow
that a mother is, necessarily,
a prize exhibitor even a de-
sirable citizen. The birth ordeal
does not automatically equip
a woman with qualities to
which she has hitherto been a
stranger. It does not add one
whit to her intelligence or
spirituality.
A mother must achieve char
acter by her own exertions, ex-
actly as other human beings
achieve it. It is not thrust
upon her. And it is cockeyed
nonsense to assume that a
woman is more tender, honest.
brave, fair, generous, intelli-
gent and reliable. merely be-
cause she is a mother.
Yet that is the general as
sumption-and no one is surer
of it than Mama. herself. AS
a spinster she may have been
stupid, silly, selfish, lazy. bad
tempered and generally ornery.
But once let her have a baby,
and she considers herself en-
dowed with superhuman wis
dom and all the virtues.
The Washington times., 1934-02-10

wife has more claim than any
blood relation.
Marriage rituals so intended
it, and so specify.
Strained marital relations re.
suit often when there is too
active interference Of in-laWs
with the affairs of married
couples.
Marriage creates a new fam
ily-a new starting point for
the two in the alliance.
They are to carve a new
course, and can do it more ami
cably if there is no outside in
reference.
Don't be guilty of trying to
influence either side in matters
that belong strictly to the
couple involved, for it is not
your business, remember.
