Fridays issue of the Democrat con-
tanned most worthwhile article on the
jungle warfare that is now going on and
has been going on between Bolivia and
Paraguay for the past two years. 1t is
unique in that it is the first formal war
declared since the tragic World War.
However, it is nothing new to the natives
of Paraguay and Bolivia to fight, judging
by the background furnished by Edward
S. Wallace. He has lived in Paraguay
and knows much of what he writes. Fur
thermore he is intensely interested in his
tory and has made it his life's work. This
Chaco War (Chaco being huge swamp
along disputed boundary between the
two countries) may result in tremendous
loss of life for the Paraguayans, but it
certainly won't kill a spirit that has car
ried them through countless similar
strifes.

A great fight to prevent such stations
as WLWL of New York obtaining more
time on the air than they now are allowed
Is going on at Washington. Commercial
stations and the large networks have
banded together to prevent any conces-
sions being granted those stations whose
primary purpose Is not the same as their
own. Variety, the well-known theatrical
weekly, recently commented on this inter-
esting lobby now being perpetrated In the
nations capital. However, there are quite
few legislators aware of the tremendous
pressure being brought to bear upon them
and they are prepared to support the
amendment to the communications con-
troll measure which was urged by Father,
Harvey, who has charge of the Paulist
Fathers broadcasting station His amend
ment would guarantee equal rights and
equal privileges on the air channels to
educational, religious agricultural, Ia
Dor, cooperative, and similar non-proft
making associations" When various
Catholic groups began supporting Father
Harneys amendment and urged their
legislators to do the same the big broad
casting systems took alarm. They're now
fostering a powerful lobby TO keep these
non-proft making stations relegated to
the background so far as time on the air
is concerned.

Luxurious Travel

The luxury of the new railroad accom-
modations, after years in which railroad
travel was mostly regarded as an endur-
ance test, almost passes belief Not con-
tent with reducing rates to / \. or 2 cents
a mile air-cooling Pulmans, bringing In
new streamined trains and putting more
speed, comfort and service into the
whole business, they are now providing
trains with entertainment. A southeast
ern line has a miniature night club on It's
Florida trains, with hostesses and soft
music.
Very likely we'll soon have hostess
along with the porter on every Pullman,
with radio service and other extras on the
coaches, and a place to dance in the mid
die of the dining car. Or inventive genius
and managerial enterprise will sweep
away all these crudties and give Us some
thing finer than drummers or millionaires
ever dreamed of. The business coupe
and family bus will have to step some to
keep up.

today happens to be Franklin D.
Roosevelt, an exceptionally popular individual.
1t is true Of all Presidents. Regardless of their
politics or the extent of their personal popu-
larity or unpopularity, the people out in the
States are eager to look at them and to hear
them speak.
Therefore, President never need worry about
not having a good sized crowd on hand when
ever he appears in public. It's their office that
is the drawing card
1t is known fact that the American public
has very high reverence for the presidential
Office and is necessarily proud and happy to
extend wave of the hand or word of greeting
to President when he happens to be travelling
abroad. There is an old saying Among those
like the writer, who has made many journeys
in various parts of the country with Presidents
that they are not unlike the circus when it
comes to town. They always are an attraction.
While this has some very pleasing and grati-
flying aspects so far as the President is con-
cerned. it also has its drawbacks
1t may be possible that the drawbacks might
actually outweigh the pleasing features. It
would be difficult to classify all the drawbacks
but the most disturbing and troublesome feature
is the fact that there is always large number
of people, in any section in which the President
happens to be travelling. who want to take
advantage of the occasion for their own per-
sonal glorifcation. 1t is known fact that too
many people, unfortunately, like to use the
fTeSl0enG ana MS VlSlC INTO CQelr particular
community a sounding board for their own
personal advantage.
Those who are not familiar with the move
ments and experiences of a President in all
that he confronts and experiences on his
travels away from the Capital, would never
suspect that the ruler Of the Nation is faced
with such embarrassing and plaguing situations.
1t is no exaggeration to say that train of
cars mile long would be necessary to accom-
modate all the people who have sgnifed, and
IN many cases demanded, the granting of the
privilege of riding some part of the way during
President Roosevelt's train journey from the
Pacific Coast to Washington.
These requests come not only from political
leaders, from State officials, county officials city
officials. the so-called prominent citizens, but
others who because Of what they imagine is
their local prominence entities them to the
honor Of boarding the Presidents special train
en- route.

Dental tour If the President is to visit some
particular city for the purpose of making an
address or participating in some great celeDra-
tion. or inspecting some Government project
the size of this reception committee is generally
larger than on the occasion Of merely train
stop of few minutes.
This means large gathering of men looking
uncomfortable with high hats and with wing
collars and with huge badge hanging from
the lapel of their coats, as well as handsomely
bedecked ladies' In addition there is generally
a band of music to do full honors to the great
occasion Often masses of school children,
holding little American flags, are lined up on
the outskirts of the station concourse, and not
infrequently the fire department with Its shr1H
sirens, as well as factory whistles Is drawn
ON to aid in acclaiming the presence of the
American Presidents.
Such demonstrations are well meant. and
because of their complimentary nature and
genuine friendliness, cannot fail to please a
President even though they may not hatter one
who is accustomed to such things. So lar as
the President is concerned this sort OF thing
would be all right if it ended right there at the
station. But. unfortunately that Is only the
beginning.
When the President and the First Lady, who
is generally accompanying him, have shaken
hands with the chairman of the COM
mittee and probably have been introduced to

men in high hats and elegantly dressed ladies'
comprising the committee. start is made for
the automobile ride, either to the object OF the
Presidents visit to that particular city, or to
hotel where the President and his party are 70
have luncheon or dinner, as the case may be.
to await the arrival of the hour for the par
ticular celebration he Is on hand to take part
in. The first trouble comes In settling the
point of just who and how many are to ride
in the car with the President. Next must be
settled, who is to ride in the second car, and
SO on down along the line until all the COM
mittee and the members of the Presidents
party have been taken care of in the matter OF
seats in the caravan.
Then follows the question of who is to be
permitted to call on the President during his
stay at the hotel and just who Is to attend
the luncheon or dinner given in the Presidents
honor, and who is to preside and who are to
sit next to the President and First Lady
Invariably there are different factions in
every city visited By President. There are the
political factions, the social factions and the
various rival groups of prominent and wealthy
