Sven Hedin in Trouble.

safety, But those who know him best
will worry least They will realize
that a like accident might have be-
fallen him in a theoretically far more

example, And the man himself prob
ably would prefer Oriental gangsters

than be slaves even though their
masters fed them well. Give me
liberty or give me death" is no empty
phrase to many folk. The stamp and
tea taxes imposed by the English king
on the American coloniSts were small
compared with the taxes being i'm
posed by the new deal. Being taxed
without representation was form of
slavery, but not a worse form than
being denied the right to grow as
much cotton or raise as many hogs
on ones farm as one wants to grow
or raise.
Rivers of blood have been shed to
win our freedom. but during this emer-
gency we are being asked not only
temporarily but perhaps permanently
to waive our personal freedom. "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty"
it is said. but the new dealers probably
realize that hungry person is not
likely to be vigilant with respect to
his liberty.
Our Federal Constitution is sup
posed to protect us in our rights with
out our being vigilant, but no one any
longer knows what the Constitution
means. The So-called liberal judges
say that it must be interpreted in the
light of time. place and circum-
stance" but times. places and cir
cumstances are rarely, if ever, the
same; hence no one knows how the
Constitution will be interpreted in q
given case.
Heretofore, for example, no State
under the Federal Constitution could
enact a law impairing the obligation
of contracts, but the Supreme Court
has held that it can during the pres
ent emergency. Whether the court
will hold the same way during the
next emergency no one knows, for
no two emergencies are exactly alike
Thus our most sacred rights are made
to depend on the fickle wind of time,
place and circumstance" by which
the judges may be Swayed when the
decision is made.
We must not therefore rely on the
courts to preserve our liberties; we
must preserve them ourselves. No
one wants the American people to
remain hungry, and to that extent
we agree with the new dealers. But
most of Us want to retain our free
dom and We disagree with the
new dealers to the extent that they
would place us under restraint. Our
battle cry should be prosperity and
liberty. not prosperity without liberty
nor liberty without prosperity.

Dollfuss and His Nazis.

Engelbert DollfuSs, diminutive but
determined chancellor Of Austria, has
declared war on the NaA elements
within the decrepit former Hapsburg
state and resorted to drastic meas
ures TO crush their subversive actiyi-
ties. The Austrian Nazis are DOLL
fuss unrelenting foes because Of his
stern opposition to their schemes. un-
der German inspiration. to bring
about annexation of the state to Hit
ler's third Reich"
To the end of enabling him more
effectively TO cope with a Nazi coup,
Chancellor Dollfuss has reorganized
his government so as to place the en-
tire military and police power OF the
country in his hands. He has weeded
out of all departments ministers OF
known or suspected NaZi sympathies
and supplanted them with cabinet
consisting Of personnel on whom he
can implicitly rely in any extreme
action required to thwart Nazi plots.
That the little chancellor is prepared
to resort to whatever recourses may
be necessary is evident from the ap-
pointment Of Maj Emil Fey as 'Spe-
cial commiSsar Of emergency meas
ureS for defense of the state against
its enemies" Naz traitors are ap-
parently to be dealt with as ruth
lessly as DollfuSs treated his So
cialist foes several months ago.
The chancellor, taking a leaf from
the notebook of his powerful friend
and protector, Premier Mussolini, now
becomes, besides chancellor, foreign
minister, minister of defense, minister
of public security and minister of
agriculture. The complete Viennese
dictatorship resultant from the min
isterial shake-up is essential, Dr.
DollfuSs declares, to the preservation
Of peace and order, and is designed to
stamp out the last vestiges of trea-
sonsble movement" There is ample
evidence OF activities designed to
overthrow the existing regime. For
many weeks Austria has been in the
throes of terrorism for which Austrian
Nazis, operating under German in
Spiration, are held responsible. Bomb
ings have taken place on a nation
wide scale. including destruction of
transportation facilities, power plants
and other public utilities. To put
stop to bombing outrages the govern
ment has now decreed the death
penalty for any persons discovered to
be in illegal possession of explosives.
The international development of
most sinister significance in current
events at Vienna is the withdrawal of
Dollfuss' Minister to Germany and his
appointment as undersecretary for
foreign affairs. 1t is stated that
Austria will not at once be represented
by an envoy at Berlin and that in
reprisaI Hitler will withdraw the Ger
man Minister from Vienna. There is.
of course, plain hint in all this
that formal AuStro-German diplo-
matte breach is imminent.
Everything considered the Austro-
Nazi situation bristles with menacing
portentS and adds one more element
of gravity to Europe's Summer OF dis
cord and discomfort. incidentally, It
constitutes a new link in the chain of
isolation which Hitler has forged
around his Nazi Reich.

ton Of the project by citizens Of
Southeast Washington.
While It does not lie wholly within
the power Of the District Commits
sioners to undertake q program Of i'm
provement in Southeast Washington,
or In any other part Of Washington
the essential first step is to reach an
understanding and agreement with the
Commissioners as TO plans which
might be pushed vigorously before

city development Is TO prevent the
creation Of "blighted areas" and to
rebuild. for other uses. those areas
which shifts Of population have tenn

Relief for Congressman.

Prom the Greenville IS. CT News
Some cynical criticism is being In

gressional session a measure was
adopted which permits members OF
Congress to avail themselves Of vari-

For many years it has been an Of
fense punishable by $4,000 fine for
a member Of Congress to enter into
business contracts with the Govern
ment. This law has now been
amended so that it will not apply to
the crop reduction programs Of the
A. A. A., the farm loan act, the home
owners loan act and the farm mort

000-a-year legislators can get "re-
lief" from practically every Federal
agency except the F. <. r. A. and
other outright "dolegiving units"
While this amendatory measure will
be looked upon by most citizens dubi-
ously, and with considerable merit,
it must be said that there Is some
justification for it. It does not sweep
away the law against general busi-
ness transactions with the Govern
ment by Congressman. Under the
recovery acts, the Government has
engaged in very extensive activities
commonly performed by private
financial enterprise. Numerous Con-
gressmen have farms or homes
which may properly be subject to
governmental ref1nancing programs
and there seems no really good rea-
son why such instances should be
barred because their owner is a mem
Der of Congress. OF course, 1t is true
that 1t is not good public policy as a

they create and whose personnel they,

To the Editor OF The Star:
The battle cry of the new dealers
during the next campaign is to be,
Are you not better of than you were
March 4, 1882" We are to be told
that if we now have better shelter
and more to eat and wear than we
then had, We should support the new
deal ticket; and that We should be
willing to sacrifice personal liberty or,
what is the same thing, submit to
social control If such sacrifice will
bring us greater degree of pros
perity.
Many persons formerly argued. and
a few still agree, that negro slaves
were better of before than after they
were liberated, because many of them
had more to eat and wear before than
after liberation. The new deal battle
cry seems to be based on the prop
ostion that We should be willing to
forego our freedom if we have plenty
This appeal is going to be force
ful one, for when person is hungry
he is usually more interested in q
full dinner pail than in anything
else. Persons have been known vol
unfairly to do something to cause
them to be put in jail in order to
get something to eat.
Many voters are inclined to support
the party which supplies their physi-
cal wants best. Tammany Hall
which Is both charitable and politi-
cal institution, expects voters who
receive charity administered by it to
support the Tammany ticket. Voters
may expect to be told that personal
liberty amounts to nothing if one is
starving. as some were March 4, 1888
Voters will be expected to act some
what like fish which are actuated
by their stomachS rather than their
brains. To catch fish We place bait
on a hook; the bait appeals to the
fiSh's stomach; the hook takes away
its liberty.
Napoleon is credited with having
said that an army moves on its
stomach. The new dealers probably
also realize the pitiable truth that
voters frequently move on their
stomachs. Before an important en-
gagement, Napoleon sometimes ad-
dressed his hungry troops promising
them the enjoyment of rich Spoils II
they won the impending battle. We
shall also be told that if the new
deal ticket is supported we shall have
more prosperity.
Now there are many persons who
believe that man does not live by
bread alone" Many would rather be

Home gardeners are likely to say.
half apologetieslly. oh We have
nothing but red clay here"
They could not have any better
soil. except the perfect black loam
50 often described and so seldom
found
Clay Is prevalent in and around
Washington. Often it IS turned up
and spread over terraces. Back yards
sometimes are composed entirely Of 1t.
There are clays and clays, OF
course. but the sort mostly found
hereabouts is not to be desplsed,
sneered at. or lamented.
II Is good soil. rightly handled, as
a matter Of fact about the best dirt
in the world FOR growing roses, the
universally acclaimed queen of flowers.
Ped clay, In particular, is supreme
in rose work.
There seem to be. in general. two
distinct types OF average red clay.
One Is the gummy sort, the other a
looser type The first OF these, for
tunately, is not as often met as one
might think. although many amateur
gardeners are inclined to believe all
red clays of this consistency.
Perhaps nine out Of ten clay beds
are rather Of the semi-gummy type,
which. with the admixture Of little
lime or ashes, makes a very nice soil
TO work with.
Coal ashes are best. since break
ing up the clay particles is the aim,
rather than fertility. 1t is waste
to use wood ashes for this work.
These should be reserved for later.
Sitting is necessary for the best use
Of this material, but if this is not
feasible good results can be obtained
by manipulating the larger Jumps
from the mixture. These do no par
ticular good and give the soil an un-
healthy look TO those who may hap
pen to be finicky about such things.
Besides, large Jumps are in the way of
the spade or fork or trowel in future
digging.
If one does not care to go to this
trouble, there even may be some good
which the larger pieces of burned
coal. not clinkers by any means, but
partially burned pieces, do in the soil.
after all They may absorb moisture
and hold it even longer than the finer
sifted.
The mechanical action Of the ashes
on the soil particles is what is desired.
Molecules pack together so closely as
to make almost modelling clay in
some cases. These must be forced
apart, literally, in order that the
plants which are to grow in the soil
can send their roots down to get
nutriment.
Most persons believe that the chief
trouble they experience with clayey
soils is that there is no food in them
for the plants, but this idea has been
exploded; the nutritive elements are
there, they are locked up so tightly
that the plants cannot get at them.
Anything which will break up the
cohesion of the clay particles will do.
Other materials are sand and lime.
Yes, the later is good for this pur-
pose. Some gardeners have the idea
that lime is for purposes Of fertility,
but the lime people say no, that the
best thing the lime does is "ameli-
crate" harsh soils, make them mellow,
workable.
Applied to stiff clay, sand does a
very good job, in this respect, but
sometimes it is diff1cult to work it in
with the clay, especially when the lat
ter is real gummy.
When dealing with such a clay it
is best to give it a good thick layer Of
