World Radio Battles

God help South America! Political and military intervention is thing of the past, but now there is radio invasion from all points of the compass. European countries and trade associations are going after Latin-American business with short wave broadcasts. Germany and France have started it, and Britain and Italy are jumping in, and one of the big American chains promises to match the foreign ef- forts, program by program.
 ''If it is to be battle of music and words," says a representative of the American Company, i've will be in the thick of the fight. In addition to 10 Pan- American programs we are now broadcast ing, we plan to add several 15-minutc presentations" All of these programs, foreign and domestic, combine entertain ment with trade propaganda. Europe. has started using the American technique of interspersing commercial jabber with the music and other features. But in this art, no doubt, our American broadcasters can beat the foreigners; they have had more experience and are more shameless about it.
 So now the Little Brown Brother will have tooth paste and face lotions and cigarets and patent medicines all jammed down his throat, or into his ears, interm- inably. But like the big white brother, he will soon cease to find it amusing, and will dial out or throw the radio out of the window. He may even become more violent.

dences of collective psychosis," the re- suit of more than year of being keyed up to high state of nervous exaltation. That tension was bound to break before long, he thought, and would probably be fol- lowed by an extreme form of general ner- vous depression. Public opinion in Ger many was still being controlled but ''se- cret opinion" was getting out of hand.
 Fifteen days later came the violent sup pression of the "second revolution" and subsequent events which seem astonish- ingly to bear out the French writer's dlag- nosis. That dreadful weekend in Ger many certainly had its hysterical aspects, and the days since then have emphasized the fact rather than lessening it. Outsld- CTS cannot but believe that secret opin- ion" and public in Germany to-day arc. widley divergent. Whether the outcome will follow the Frenchman's prophecy re- mains to be seen. But if there are mental and spiritual instability in Germany, i'll addition to that country's grave economic condition, the rest of the world needs to keep it's own attitude as sane and dispas- sionate as possible.

American Historic Shrines

Americans are becoming conscious of their historical treasures. In St Louis the boyhood home of Eugene Field is being repaired and will be cared for in the fu- ture as a museum dedicated to that au- thor's works. It is planned to restore the building to the exact appearance 1t pre- sented in 1850. Money for the work so far has been donated by two interested citizens. Later, as more gifts of money and of books and furniture come in, it is hoped to reproduce the atmosphere of the old home as it was when Field, as small boy, played through it's rooms and hali- ways.
 In other parts of the country, other his toric structures are either being preserved from further decay, or, if they are already gone, reproduced in replica and set aside as shrines for future citizens to visit and enjoy.
 It is good movement. No nation should dwell upon it's past to the exclusion of interest in current affairs or prepara- tion for it's future, but there is need for knowing something of what has gone be- fore in the making of our country. A cer- tain amount of pride in achievement is good for peoples self-respect. We have been too inclined to worship other nations historic shrines without noting our own.

No Bananas Today

The Stock Exchanges houses and floor traders are wailing these days because of drouth in sales. They attempt to at tribute the blame on the new Securities Act but the truth is that MT and Mrs Public have decided they've had enough. The Stock Exchange was originally ln tended as a market place for the buying and selling of commodities and shares in corporate enterprise. When the manage ment allowed the exchange to be turned into a gambling house by inside manipu lators, who passed out tips to the unWary public, they killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
 To use the common expression, they took everybody to the cleaners the saying, never give a sucker a chance, like all other things, can be carried too far. The worm has turned. The public is not wasting any sympathy on the stock eX- change and if many brokers find it nec- essary to join the ranks of the unem- ployed, who cares.
 Now it is the publc's turn to do little housekeeping and if an interruptions trader or two gets swept up in the opera tion, it will not do anyone much harm but on the contrary, perhaps a whole lot of good. In any event the sooner the public learns that outside of grand larceny fortunes are very seldom amassed, espa- cially in these high pressure days, the sooner it will get over the headache it has induced as result of it's avarice.

Washington, uly Is - The president is having some private labor troubles of his own. Dur ing his absence the White House is being painted by non-union labor and at wage rate lower than that prevailing inthe Dis trict of Columbia
 This is in violation of the Davis-B Bacon act which provides than that prevailing in the Dis must be done at local wage lev els.
 The Painters and Decorators local under the A. F. of l. has sent Roosevelt telegram of pro- test. Apparently he knew noth- ing about it, referred the matter back to White House attaches. The work is being done under contract by a local decorating firm.
 Union rates for painters here are $1.371a per hous. The local union claims that White House painters are getting only S0 cents.
 If this can be established the decorating firm can be fined $500 for each Offense-and each days work is an Offense.
 So the White House may be winter when the president re- turns, but local decorating company may be in the red. TROUBLE ..-.,...
 Getting the new securities ex- change commission organized is not the only trouble furrowing the freckled brow of Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy.
 Nineteen-ycar-old Joe, Jr., his oldest son, has him worried.
 The young man is in Europe. In the course of his wander1ngs he encountered Professor Felix Frankfurter, featuring at an English college. instantly be- came a devoted admirer.
 Joe has been writing his fath- CT about it, and the latter is a bit uneasy about their reunion.
 q can see I'm going to have trouble when I have my next dinner with that boy" Kennedy said. He is going to stump me with a lot of questions.
 "I've just got to find time to learn the difference between fascism, communism, regimenta- ton, socialism, and all that. What q job! I guess I'll be losing that boy to Frankfurter. Maybe he'll become brain truster.
 NOTE-Friends of Professor Frankfurter were among those who protested most vigorously at Kennedy's appointment to the exchange commission. They pur-' ported to speak also for the pro- lessor.

The Phantom Crow of Wolcott has to all appearances turned events surrounding himself into first class sequel for another Sir Conan Doyle master criminal story. Dillinger, the wholesale murderer, is sup posedly at large, but he is aided by gang of gunmen who act as bodyguard. The mysterious Crow apparently moves about alone not taking anyone into his confi- dence. It may become necessary to call on Dr. Nikola Tesla's super death ray beam purported to be able to kill at 200 miles to catch the phantom, if in truth Grove is still alive.

The latest was just before Secretary Henry Wallace made his speech at Madison, Wiscon- sin, last week. As originally writ ten, the speech contained a powerful political pull for the LaFollettes.
 / particularly the home city, of the late Senator Robert M. LaFol- lette, Wallace thought it would be fitting to pay tribute to him, and to the notable achievements of Wisconsin progressives.
 Liberal associates in the cab inet, members of his staff, agreed with Wallace fully, urged him warmly to do so.
 But one potent administration power did not.
 Big Jim Farley, postmaster general and democratic national chairman turned blunt and de- cisive thumbs down on the idea. Wallace did not consult Farley. But the latter got wind of the matter, and lost no time in swinging into action.
 He sent Wallace a friendly, but pointed, note strongly coun- selling against his saying any, thing about the LaFollettes. DELICATE
 With young Bob running for reelection on third party ticket, the political situation in the state was, too delicate, Jim suggested, for such friendly ges- lures. Furthermore, he pointed out, the president was scheduled to make a speech in Wisconsin on his return trip from Hawaii.
 Jim advised that before Wal lace act he communicate with the president by wireless.
 Wallace did not trouble to do so.
 Shy, hesitant. where political matters are concerned, he quietly dropped his plan. Farley, now on a nationwide political speak ing tour. is carefully avoiding Wisconsin.
 NAZI COMPLAINT
 The Nazi complaint to Cordell Hull about General Johnson's anti Hitlerism proved bad boomerang. It destroyed some of the good will which the German em mbassy has cultivated so stu diousiy for years.

A Book a Day
Finds Land Poised Between Disasters
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Possibly it is a little bit late in the day to be calling your at tention to Company Parade" by Storm Jameson. Yet here is a book which you may not want to miss if for no other reason than the fact that it is the first of an ambitious series of six novels in which Miss Jameson hopes to present full picture of postwar England.
 Company Parade can hardly be judged except as part of that huge undertaking. By itself, it is incomplete and inconclusive. It makes no effort to gather up all its loose ends. If foreshadows it's own successors.
 The book is largely episodic, in keeping with the authors desire to depict all sides of English life. But its episodes are more or less loose ly strung about a. central theme; the effort of young married wom- an, Hervey Russell, to be, simul- taneously, wife, mother, and a business woman.
 I don't know what's going to happen to her later on, but on the basis of Company Parade" she seems to be something of a failure in all three ventures. She has to put her small son in home, she and her husband keep drifting apart, and neither the jobs that she gets nor the novels that she writes seem to amount to very much.
 But while Hervey. Russell is the central figure, the book hardly stands or falls with her. It Is chiefly. as Miss Jameson intends. a picture of England. It shows a society sovershadowed by the war a society which appears; now and then, to be poised insecurely be- tween two catastrophes.
 Its pace is not normal and neither are its people. There, is an air of disaster about, both in the past and in the future. ~
 Published by Knopf, Company Parade is priced at s2.50.

HILL-ROAD

 This is the hill where we walked with the voice of the wind With black arabesques of the branches against the moons face, As we stood at the turn of tie road. coming over the hill That was the moment remembered, and this is the place. You said (and you knew) that in springtime this hill and this road Would be sweet with Inc moist smell of earth. and the arabesque Would make exquisite patterns with intricate leaves on the branch And you said there were things more lovely in springtime than these And so I have here in search of those pat terms, alone With warm little wind of the spring brushing by on my face--- And Pm turning to go. for know that no spring time give That beauty we knew when this hill was leafess place.
