GERMANS are about to take an awful wal
~ lop from their newspapers, if Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels has his way
Goebbels has issued pamphlet of instruc-
tons for editors, partic Iarly aimed at political
financial and society editors. calling for more
Pollyanna pieces.
Financial editors who fail to point fire.
quently to Nazi economic triumphs must mend
their ways. bald demand for better propa-
ganda efforts from editors, to avert present
dizziness" is the highlight of Goebbels' ukase.
If it is to be enforced, the propaganda min
lister had better take over all the newspapers
and run them himself.
And then, he could print them all with a
rubber stamp.
But he would have to issue another edict
compelling every one to subscribe.

DEMOCRACY'S SHAME

EULLY $4,000 persons felt that they had to
l. attend the funeral services for Pretty
Boy" Floyd. They got in everybody's way,
damned traffic in the little Oklahoma town
beyond endurance. and made a disgusting
spectacle of themselves at the cemetery, where
they stole all the flowers from the dead ban
dts coffin and nearly got into a ee-for-an
fight over the disposal of these precious
souvenirs.
An outburst of this kind is not exactly sur
prising, considering the rapt interest that
dim-witted folk are bound to feel in the doings
OF any notorious outlaw.
But it is little bit appalling to learn that
there could be no many people within driv-
ing distance of one small town who had so
little to do with their spare time.
A democracy that will turn out $4,000 strong
to squabbe over the flowers on a dead bandits
coffin is not giving good indication of its
ability to meet a democracy's problems intel
ngently.

clear where the blame lies. It lies with con-
gress subservient to a powerful ship lobby, to
the ship owners. II lies with the government
officials who permit subsidized ships to sail
with such nondescript crews that passengers
are imperiled in crises.
Meantime every mail ship leaving New York
carries a large quota Of foreigners, while $4,000
American seamen haunt the shipping Offices in

We believe that President Roosevelt should

lobby and in remaking the whole American
system Of sea laws to put human safety above

THE PUBLIC PULSE

ITO get first-hand information on how the
New Deal is functioning on the front
lines and what the people think of it, Ex-
ecutive Director Richberg has instructed the
state directors Of the national emergency
council to send in bi-weekly confidential re-
ports.
The state directors are not to duplicate
the factual reports that the various New Deal
agencies send regularly TO Washington, but
are to sppraise the effectiveness of each
agency in meeting the needs of his state and
report public reaction to the activities of each
agency and to the emergency program as
whole.
II honestly and intelhgently made, these
reports can be of inestimable value TO the
administration. which now relies too much
upon an intelligence service supplied through
bureaucratic and partisan channels. Like all
previous administrations. this one is handi-
capped by too many cheer leaders and yes
men.
Since the NEG state directors are to be-
come the super-scouts of the New Deal, it is
a matter OF Importance to the administra-
ton that they have the capacity to observe
closely and report accurately. Politics played
a greater part in the appointment Of these
state directors than it should have. but on
the whole they are men Of competence and
standing II Is to be Hoped that they Will re-
port 10 their chief not only the things that
he likes 10 hear. but also tell him when and
why and how the program boys down.
The New Deal is program OF reform and
recovery which can not move against the cur
rent Of public opinion. Nor can it set far
unless it keeps abreast the current.

ASSERTS LEGISLATIVE CANDI-

What does Arthur G. Gresham in

RELIEF ABANDONMENT
THREAT is SCORED

BY Florence X. Barring.
A group of women with no po-
litical end in view are organizing
a movement to capitalize that in
fuence for good or i'll which we
all possess, and is seeking for the
cooperation of all who agree that
the cause is good. One thousand
copies Of the following letter are
being sent over the country, re-
cipients being asked to copy Or para
phrase it and send the copy to
the President, and to furnish two
or more friends with copies and
ask them to do likewise and interest
their friends as widely as possible
It is hoped to have so large and va
ried an assortment of letters reach
the President as to convince him
that the country does not want a
political machine in Washington.
Since every writer of letter will
be awake to the situation, the work
is mainly educational, and will con-
tinue after Nov 6. The letter:
ITO the President:
Your many friends throughout
the country are much distressed by
the evidence that an implied threat
of loss of federal relief aid is be-
ing used to coerce many states into
electing Democratic tickets this fall.
We do not believe that it can be a
part of your plans to use this meth
cd of getting votes, and we urge
that you establish a bipartisan agen-
cy outside of the government to
administer the relief grants. thus
taking relief out of politics, as Eng
land has done"
