hitler REGIME SEALS DOOM
OF NEWSPAPERS

NUREMBERG bold utterance Of
Or. Dietrich, the Nazi party press chief, at
the Nazi Party convention here concerning
the function of the press in the Nazi state
as well as his attempt to minimize the col
lapse of German newspaperdom are belied
oy well-knOwn facts. A comparison of the
number of German dailies in 1882 and 1894
proves that the total has fallen from 2,7OS
to less than 1000. The number of weekIies
mas decreased from $50 to approximately
zZO; all other publications have decreased
c0rreSpondingly. The total of persons en-
ployed in editorial and other newspaper ca
p pac is now less than 5000 against 49,
200 in 1892. -,
In direct contrast to the decline Of the
German press stands the colossal upward
trend shown by the sales of foreign news
papers within Germany. The German read
ing public is slowly realizing that its press
is docile and mute instrument in the
hands of an INSCRIPTIONS dictatorship, and
Is therefore turning overwhelmingly to for
elgn newspapers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The heroic
strike of the textile workers of the nation.
that has cost the lives of 16 strikers. was
called off today by Francis J. German. a
strike committee chairman of the United
Iextlle Workers. The strikers were sent
back to work Monday exposed to discrimi-
nation and blacklist and without WINNING a
single one of their demands.
While there was great rejoicing and
much handshaking in Washington strikers
all over the country showed plenty of anger
and indignation over the sell-out. The
workers mass before the union headquar-
tiers and protest. In the south the mill
bosses have introduced blacklisting and dis
elimination against the best froces of the
union. AS result, Germans sell out is
not running as smoothly as he may have
expected. In several places his proposals
have flatly been rejected by the workers.

His record of life, inscribed in his

The Bows Clubs Again.

At the Boys Club of Washington,
on c street, last evening the young
sters staged "civic night" entertain
ment for their friends. 1t was a good
show and a representative group of
parents, teachers and others inter-
ested In the welfare of the youth of
the city enjoyed the program to the
full.
But the occasion had a larger sig
nificance. 1t served to dramatize the
need for more adequate facilities for
such q work. Granted that present
equipment is better than no quipment
ct all, it still remains obvious that
bricks cannot be made without straw,
that a modern plant is wanted for
the accommodation of boys club
activities. Existing quarters are too
small. too antiquated. too makeshift
in character.
For example, there is no swimming
pool In the c street building. One

had we're space available. But mean
while the youngsters perforce must

pool, a mile or more distant.
Again, the gymnasium is too small
to provide seats for an audience on
its floor. If a crowd desires to attend
the boys are hampered in their move
ments. The room simply cannot be
a theater and a playground at one
and the same time.
Railways and stairways likewise are
too narrow. The print shop is housed
in a basement area so diminutive as
to impose a drastic limit on the num-
Der of boys that may be admitted,
and the woodworking shop is even less
commodious.
Yet the club justifies its existence.
The difficulty is that of obtaining op-
portunity to grow, opportunity to serve
more fully. Experts who have studied
the problem agree that the two club
buildings proposed several months ago
as a Public Works Administration
project would solve the problem. But
1t now seems clear that the Federal
Government is not ready to help, and
the question is: In what other way
can the required funds be found?
Less than four hundred thousand
dollars would pay the costs of con-
struction. In normal times such a
sum might be collected from private
donors. But under prevailing circum-
stances, no campaign of that kind can
be attempted.
In the interim thousands of boys
spend their leisure in pool rooms or
loafing around street corners waiting
for something to turn up"

Notes Viewed as Bringing

the law was passed to obtain from
Congress a more reasonable view

more likely to engage in race Of

Principles Not Personalities at Stake
In the Turmoil Over DIR. Writ

The real problem should not be
camouflaged by a discussion of per-
sonalities. and the issues are too
tremendous to be evaded or white
washed by Congress or to be ridiculed
by the press in the effort to pigeon
hole them and thereby lull the
American people into a disregard Of
the present danger to the Republic.
Many of us have feared, and still
fear, that the present administration s
policies, If continued, will ultimately
result in an American Socialist, Com
munist, Soviet or Fascist state in
place of a constitutional Republic.
We have not described the menace in
terms of Kerensky and Stain. though
We have been alive to the danger of
a Soviet republic as a result of
nationally regimented and coded in
dustry and of the increasing combi-
nation and concentration Of executive,
legislative and judicial functions in
bureaucratic appointees of the Presi-
dent. Many of us still believe in the
Constitution of the United States and
still cling to the idea expressed by
the Supreme Court in an earlier day,
when it said:
"The Constitution of the United
States is law for rulers and people,
equally in war and in peace, and
covers with the shield of its protection
all classes of men, at all times, and
under all circumstances. No doctrine
involving more pernicious conse-
quences was ever invented by the wit
of man than that any of its pro-
visions can be suspended during any
of the great exigencies of government.
Such doctrine leads directly to
anarchy or despotism. The
theory of necessity on which 1t is
based is false (Supreme Court in
Ex parte Milligan, Wall, -
1t matters little who made the
statement to DR.. Writ about Kerensky
and Stain. 1t matters much whether
the Republic is in danger.
Congress, the President and the
courts are on trial before the Amer
ican people as their creators and
masters. We want to know whether
they are endangering the govern
mental structure for the preservation
of human rights and liberty tempo
rarily entrusted to their administra-
ton. We want to know how they
justify their apparent disregard Of the
constitutional limitations imposed on
them by their creators and masters.
They have not been given blanket
power to act as benevolent despotS;,
nor has the United States been turned
over to them for the purpose of test
ing out the governmental theories OF
brain trust" group.
The American people as q whole
still value individual and political
liberty. They still believe that in
alienable indiviluad rights are an
endowment or gift from the Creator
and that the Federal Government
as limited agent created by them
can restrain the exercise of those
rights only to the extent authorized
by the constitutional entrustment
The Constitution, as q limitation on
governmental powers, Is neither
joke, nor q mere scrap Of paper.
Principles, not personalities, are at
stake. Our rulers are not sacrosanct
or above public criticism. And the
new horde of Federal bureaucrats are
not yet sufficiently intrenched in
power to enable them to avoid IN
accounting by ridicule, by criticizine
phrase or by crucifying its author.
