LETTERS, NOT LEANERS NEEDED

Possibly, the most effectual move that could be
nationally made at this time would be that de-
signed to give the American people relief from
relief
Not in the sense that it would be either good
strategy or good government for Washington to
announce to individuals and business of this coun-
try that it was going out of business insofar as
having the federal soup-house and the federal
money-bags and the federal bureaucrats available
for the asking
And even more than that, available whether
asked for not.
That would not be in keeping with the demands
of the present continuing situation of befuddle-
ment.
But it is clear that there is far too much lean
ing on Washington.
What this country needs more than anything
else is not this leaning type of individual nor of
business indutry, but the lifting kind.
We must have private doors instead of collec-
ton of duds before we will be able to strike our
stride agan.-Charlotte Observer.

LET'S GET TOGETHER
-By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

While William Lundell, inter
viewer for big broadcasting COM
pany, was questioning Fred G..
Kelly, world traveller, about Sow
let Russia in a recent nationwide
hook-up, the word "Soviet," quite
logically was frequently used.
Every time Mr.. Lundell, inter-
viewer, said Soviet" he pro-
nouced the 90" like the 80" in
mot, while every time Mr.. Kelly,
world traveller, just back from
Russia said Soviet" he pro-
nounced the 80" like the 90" in
ego" Webster's Dictionary says
that Mr.. Kelly's pronunciation is
correct.
Mr.. Lundell and Mr.. Kelly should
have gotten together on whatever
pronunciation was right. The eff
feet was funny, and to some per-
sons, confusing.

for the small vote. Nevertheless, it must be said
that as a rule those who benefit from the privi-
1aoes of democratic government have hardly rec
oonized the responsibility individuals must bear if
the rights it guarantees to individuals are to be
continued
In the United States, the potential voting popu-
Iation is about 100000 Balloting in the last
+wo nresidential elections-and these elections
nsnaIlv attract more voter interest than any
otbers-totaled less than 4O,OOO,0o8 votes. Mus
soiipi or Hitler might be pardoned for assuming
that these figures show a good 10000 0o-vote
possibility of dictatorship in America.
Probably it is partly because OF facts such as
these that General SHUTS would awaken theoretl-
cal supporters of democracy to some more pract-
cal interest in it. He has observed dictatorship
spreading in Europe, and forms of oppression at
work over large part of the world, and ne makes
a startling conclusion:
"Perhaps do not exaggerate when | say tnat
of what we call liberty in its full human meaning
freedom of thought, speech, action and SELF
expression-there is today less in Europe than
there has been during the last 1000 years"
These may be alarming words. But perhaps
they will awaken people in free countries to the
need of more active individual interest in their
government And as they do, it is possible that
the results will help to turn the tides that have
been alarming General Smuts.-Christan Science

ANOTHER CLAIM

On its face the charge of Francis J. German,
vce-president of the United Textile Workers, that
the manufacturers in this field are doing every
thing in their power to provoke crisis, is
illogical.
Why should textile employers desire another
crisis? Crises in any industry costly to capital
and labor alike and no manufacturer of intelli-
gence desires them, for selfish if for no
other.
Gorman's claim reminds of his claims in six
figures of vast U. T. w. membership at the time
of the general strike effort which was followed
by reports from the A. F. of L. convention of p
voting strength for the U. T. W. based on $4,000

Must Have Idols

Pure democracy does not, | be-
lieve, inspire and keep alive con-
tinuously a high degree of patrio-
tism in its citizenry. People must
have something to worship. They
can not worship an impersonal
government. They can not wor-
ship governmental officials who
are here today and gone tomorrow
and who the people know are here
today and gone tomorrow.
The public needs something
that it can see and hear with its
eyes and ears, to tie to.
There is no doubt that the mon
archy, when kind and considerate,
commands more public devotion
than the democracy. The mon
arch is permanent. When one
dies, another takes his place, not
according to vote, but according
to inheritance. A decent royal
family becomes the permanent
idol of the people. People always
want to dothings for their idols
and they seem to want idols to do
things for.
England has a great scheme.
England has clearly capitalized on
the advantages of the monarchy
and of the democracy. England
has a royal family for the people
to idolize. England's form of
government is such that her mon
archs can do the people no wrong /;
they have no chance to wrong the
,eople.
England's monarchs have no
authority. Their functions are
largely social and perfunctory
Their business is to be good to the
people, and interesting and enter
tanning and benevolent. Eng
lands monarchs are not required
to take steps and make decisions
that might make the people sore.
All England uses her monarchs for
is TO set the styles, to get func-

Roosevelt has decided that the

aims to take everyone off the re-

of work.
He is bound to fall short of that
goal. But he is tired of relief of
the present type, thinks the coun-

Oscar at

To Oscar Cunningham, chef ex-
traordinary Of the Hangar Club,
there are just two interests that
make this vale of tears a livable
place. They are his Art, as prac.
ticed in his own studio, the Han
gar kitchen, and the numbers. |"
OF the two, however, the former
is more important. To Oscar of
the Hangar no joy is sweeter than
that of Tipping over a tender fried
chicken at the psychological, artis-
tic moment, or beating up a batch
of that Hangar welsh rarebit until
it has just that golden brown,
superbly Savory touch that has
made it a byword wherever Wash
ingtonians gather for their after
dark snacks.
And to Chef oscar goes much of
the glory for the Hangers rise
from just a night club to a retreat

kitchen is a place apart. It is his
castle. wherein he rules supreme

New Idea for
MaYfIower

Speaking of the international
flavor of Sidney'S music in the
Mayflower lounge, as was noted
on these pages last week, there
is another service which is de-
signed to cater to international
tasteS-the bar.
For it is one of the pride and
joys of the Mayflower powers
that no matter what drink is
named, they can always be served,
concocted just the way they do
back home" - wherever home
may be. It's a fact that many
members Of the Diplomatic Corps
do find that the lounge is just
about the only place in town
where they can get their own
favorite brew.
This service has grown so, and
is now so important, that there
have been suggestions that an
international wine list be pre-
pared, listing all of the national
drinks. So, if you wanted to be
in the French mood. you might
order a Vermouth casSis. Or, If
you felt Mexican, it might be
some libation fashioned with ha,
banero. When they came to
Albania and AfghaniStan, we per.
sonally don't know exactly what
that would be, but undoubtedly
the much-traveled Teddy and his
cohorts could name it right off.
At least, it's an idea.
