Our Worst Like Their Best
Americanism Has Advantages

~ naorla HAMMER under dictaorshps than democracy!
Knickerbocker famous European correspondent Of
h washington Times has been answering that question in
.srex of articles on conditions in some Of the countries
where dictators hold sway.
Wa think that every American who reads then-unless
honeesv stupid or anaca-has been convinced that such
forms Of government are mmeasuraby for the AVER
AGE man than our own
Under Fascis for example, the highest weekly wage paid
In Italy is only $262 than the LOWEST weekly wage
maid in the United States These figures obtained by
Mr. Knckerbock from the International Labor Office in
Geneva And not only that but the basis of purchasing
power skilled worker here FIVE TIMES AS MUCH as
skilled Italian aborer, and "a New York labOrer
shoveng sand earns twice as much as an expert Roman
electrician"
Duce has done much for Italy, but he has not given the
average Italian automobiles, radios or bsthtubs
Auaericanism with all its faults has at least given the
average American that.
Mr. Knckerbockers vivid descriptions of the srangng Of
liberty in Germany and the economic hardhp which Nazsm
has brought in its train also doubtless familiar to you
You will be interested to know that he is in Russia
gathering data similar series of eyewitness articles
on conditions there
And if you want Closeup of the Soviet paradise from
the woman point of Mrs Mary Roberts Rnehart gives
you one in the December Cosmopolitan Magazine.
"Our comfort" Mrs. RiNehart, "s equivalent to
the supreme luxury not only Of Russia but Of the
rest of the WOrd."
We Americans have the habit of protesting loudly about
our troubles and taking blessings for granted
If could all travel abroad if all forced TO live
under foreign relationships should speedily acquire new
appreciation Of what America means.
The American still has material advantages which the
European cannot dream.
To paraphrase Kpling "our worst like their best and
the sn0 to maintain preSenteve to stick to the
American system and leave imported 'isms" alone.

SUU new air" Secretary Dern
planes, is apparently going
along with the Army in its
effort to make the most Of
changes in Congress.
Collins, as chairman Of the
War Department subcommittee
Of the House Appropriations
Committee, would have had
much to say regarding the re-
quest and probably would have
given a few Army officers
some uncomfortable moments
when they appeared before his
group to advocate the appro-
priation.
From all reports his attitude
prevented the War Depart
ment from making requests, in
many instances, for develop
ment Of the Army.
Despite the fact that the War
Department believed certain
improvements essential it hest.
tated to make demands when
Collins was in office.
Apparently, however, men in
Secretary Of War Dern'S organi'
zation believe that it is neces-
sary to make up for lost time.
President Roosevelt's attitude
is one which favors moderniZa'
ton of the Army and mainte-
nance Of a peace-time force that
would be ready for active duty
on a moments notice. He be.
lieves somewhat in the view Of
his predecessor, the late PreSi.
dent Theodore Roosevelt:
"Speak softly and carry .
big stick"
Knowing the Presidents view,
a majority of members Of Con-
gress are expected to accede to
the Army's request.
That there will be strenuous
opposition is not to be oUer-
looked as the influence OF COL
Inns is still noticeable among
many of his colleagues. Men,
berS from Southern districts.
that are located inland are
particularly troublesome.
1t is expected, however, that
the Army will secure the re-
quested appropriation and, If
successful, follow it with other
demands for mOderniZatiOn.
