items of government to the Ameri-
can system.
"The problems now facing the
American Government" says this
English Radical of the Frank
furter-Laski school, ARE Of the Eu.
ropean type, and they are prob
lens which the American Govern
ment is much less fitted to deal
with than are most European
Governments.
Then follow some of the steps
which this English Radical de-
clares must be taken in order to
Europeanize the American system
and overthrow the representative
form of government for which the
American Constitution provides:
First, more power for the Presi-
dent of the United States.
HE should be freed from the
necessity Of Senatorial confirma-
ton of appointments. :.
HE should have greater positive
and negative financial powers.
The President should have an
absolute veto over Constitutional
amendments proposed by Con-
gress, and the right to propose his
own amendments and his own di-
rect legislation for the country,
whether or no Congress approve"
Second, less power for the Su.
preme Court of the United States.
What Radical Brogan means by
this is clearly set forth in Radical
Laski'S foreword in which he COM
mends Brogan's advocacy of
changes in the American system
that will establish "the definite
supremacy of the legislature over
the judiciary"
OTHER CHANGES
There are many other changes
in Radical Brogan's program for
uShering in "the new order of
things" in America that seem to
throw a flood of light upon the
attacks which major members of
the Administration have been
m king upon the American
system.
In justice to Radical Brogan,
however, it should be remembered
that his book was published and
was presumably in the hands of
his fellow-radicals of the Frank
furter School before the Admins
tration began giving its legislative
orders to Congress in 1893.
General johnson has turned the
light on the enormous power ex-
ercised by the American Radicals
of the Frankfurter school under
the present Administration.
Why do not the Frankfurter
"boys" now publicly confess their
indebtedness to the. English Radi-
Gals of the LaSki-Brogan school
for the plan of campaign Of their
sapping expedition against the
American system Of which the
Constitution is the cornerstone?

The Greatest Show On Earth

What is developing into the
greatest intra-State dispute wit
messed in years is threatening the
solidarity Of Florida.
It is the bitter fight concerning
the north Florida ship canal which
is to be constructed from Jack
sonville on the Atlantic side to
Port English on the Gulf side.
AS the United States Army En-
gineerS proceed to utilize the S.
100000 grant from the $4,880,0
900 workS-relief fund to let con.
tracts for the gigantic undertak-
ing which is to cost $146, 900, 900,
the southern section of the State
threatens to take every possible
step to prevent completion.
1t has been repeatedly charged
that the canal would ruin the
cities of the southern section by
cutting off the commerce they
now enjoy as ships bound for the
Gulf and Panama would utilize
the new waterway.
Warnings have been issued that
the blasting and other necessary
construction work would endanger
the fresh water supply of towns
and areas along the new canal.
North Florida is extremely anx.
iouS for construction of the water
way, naturally, but the southern
area is so incensed that Floridians
report none can predict the out
come.
Latest reports are that there is
a general nIoUement on in South
Florida to demand separation
from the northern section of the
State so that the land OF SUM-
shine t0oHld be diUided into t1Oo
States.
Although to others, such a prop
OsitiOn may appear to be prepOS-
ferrous, reports emanting from
South Florida indicate that the
storm is gathering headway and
that at the coming waterways
convention at New Orleans it may
break with a fury that will aStOund
the entire country.

Just as it occurred in the World
War, we are the target Of expert
propaganda from both sides in the
conflict-from three sides, rather,
since the British, the Italians and
the EthiopianS are all concerned.
We are told by the British that

WORLD PEACE

From his tiny empire, sealed in
the heart Of the Eternal City, the
Holy Father gazeS toward Geneva
with miSgiving and alarm. Devoted
to the cause Of peace, his voice
is overwhelmed by the babble Of
European statesmen. Italia n
though he is, and friendly withal
to the Ethiopian Emperor, he can
not reconcile the provocative ut
teranceS and measures Of the
League with the true interests Of
world ideas.
He cannot, one SurmiseS, COM
prehend how the truculent, provo
cative attitude of the British is in
the interests Of peace. He seems
to believe Zone may only judge
from the cableS) that it brings
Europe very close, indeed, to all
the dreadfulneSS Of war. 1t must
be that this gentle old man, Pope
Plus XII, is in doubt Of the essen
tial sanity of European statesmen.
It must be that he wonders with
the rest Of us, Catholics, ProteS-
tantS and Jews, why ordinary rea-
SonableneSS cannot evolve a salts
factory arrangement.
CONVENIENT TOOL
It may be that he is saddened
to perceive, after all these years
Of fine words, that the League is
the instrument of nationalism-
selfish nationaliSm-and not the
instrument of a great, benevolent
international purpose. When one
considers the highlights of Euro
pean diplomacy in the past Is
years, the fact stands out that the
League has been little more than
the convenient tool of the British
and the French.
It has never arrayed itself until
now against the ambitions of a
powerful nation. It permitted
Mussolini to lombard Corfu and
exact from Greece a heavy indem-
nifty. It suffered the dismember-
ment of China at the hands Of the
japanese. It make futile gestures
toward the ending of that bloody
little war in South America, and
only now, at the violent pressure
Of the British, it dares level
against MuSSolini such measures
as fill the very air with the sparks
of international conflict.
There are sincere men-true
lovers of peace-in the assembly
and council of the League, but
they have, nevertheless, permitted
the British to inspire sanctions
which have spurred the Italians
to return counter measures and
which have created a military
race which threatens to take the
situation entirely out of the hands
of the assembly diplomats.
For example, the threat to close
the Suez Canal compelled Musso-
lini to concentrate $4,000 men in
Libya in order to demonstrate
that Italy is determined to employ
armed force rather than endure
the closing of the canal.
DRASTIC MEASURES
The most incredible feature Of
the whole situation is the trucu.
lent, bellicose duty assumed by
British pacifistS-the very ele-
ment which has excoriated war
and threatened every possible re-
sistance to 1t to the point Of rebel
| lion. And yet wetind these same

%Mussolini's African adventure Is
described as nothing short Of a
crime against civilization.
We are told by the Italians
that they have suffered innumer.
able provocationS from Ethiopia
and that the situation along their
colonial borders became literally
uncomfortable. We are told by the
Italians that Ethiopia is a bar
barouS land, the last home Of
human slavery and the batten-
ing ground of unSpeakable cruel
ty. italy regards it as a duty to
civilize the land of SavageS. And
the third Italian message is that
the very existence of Italy de-
pendS on release of acceptable
colonies for the tremendous sur.
plus of Italian population.
Great Britain and France,
having seized such African terri
tories as they could lay their
hands on, have denied to Italy
any habitable territories. Italy
regards it as not immoral to
take what she can get before
the clock Of colonial expansion
strikes IL.
And EthiOpia's message to the
American people is: 1--WE are q
free, Independent nation with
the most amiable feelings toward
all the world, desiring only to
preserve the sanctity Of our
sovereignty from the rude hands
Of q white imperialiSt."
There is exaggeration and un-
truth in all this without ques-
ton. Britain fears most of all
that Musholini is determined
that a decaying British Empire
must surrender at least a part
Of its territory to rejuvenated
Rome. Italy, burned with humili-
alton over the shocking defeat
by Menelik in 1896, is deter
mined to seek not only revenge
but a large, productive colony
of which she is actually in need.
HOURLY PERIL
Ethiopia, If Mr.. Floyd Gibbons
and other competent correspon-
dents are to be believed, is not
an integrated nation with con-
trolling central government, but
a collection Of very loosely bound
provinces, each ruled by a tribal
chieftain and giving only the
vaguest loyalty to the central
government.
If Mr.. Emil Ludwig, diStin-
guiShed biographer and historian,
is to be believed, there is more
than a little truth in the tales OF
Ethiopian barbarity. When Mr..
Ludwig gazed upon the photo
graphs submitted to the League
Of Nations, many Of which photo
graphs were so utterly shocking
that it is impossible to describe
them, he said this:
"TheSe photographs tell the
truth. Horrors beyond the be-
lief Of civilized beings are the
regular thing among certain bar.
barOus Ethiopian tribes"
The powder magazine is all
there, and the sparks are flying.

Picking the Plums

With constituentloving Congressman already at work
to gather in the Washington postmastership as plum
for their political henchmen the citys civic organiEa
tions have another opportunity to demonstrate their
value.
The principle of LOCAL men in LOCAL JOBS GER
tainly applies to this important office.
That has been recognized for years by both major po
tical parties though they have regarded the post
mastership as party reward.
It probably useless to attempt at this time to
move the political aspects of the postmastershp but it
isn't useless to insist that the principle Of appointing
local man to the job be preserved.
The present postmaster William M Mooney, respected
by all Washington for his efficient handling Of the local
posoffice to that position after long service in the
ranks.
Now months before his present appointment is due to
expire the politicians who want the public to pay their
political debts are lining up with demands that they be
given the power of selection Of his successor.
Moreover, one of them has already made his Sc
lection and he seeks to qualify his man on tUDO
grounds s-One, that he is a good Democrat, and
second that he IUGs once UiLLGge postmaster.
IT SEEMS TO US THAT SOMETHING MORE THAN
BOTH OF THESE QUALIFICATIONS IS NEEDED
FOR THE LOCAL JOB.
Politics has little influence in making man good
postmaster or poor postmaster.
Experience in postal work and familiarity with the
territory which his postofce serves do however, con-
tribute nightly to make good postal chief.
There are plenty Of men in Washington in fact there
are probably plenty in the local posoffice right now
who are possessed of these important qualifications
They are familiar, by reason of experience UOith
the Uay a big city post office is operated ana they
are familiar, by of their residence WIth the
needs and requirements of large city in the mat
ter of postal service.
IF POSTMASTER MOONEY MUST GO, UNDER
THE DECREE OF THE POLITICAL P0TENTATEs,
WE LOOK TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO OBSERVE
THE RESIDENCE AND EXPERIENCE QUALIFICA-
TIoNs, EVEN IF IT ADDS THE PARTISAN QUAIL
FICATI0N.

Eve have undertaken a new
order of things"-From President
Roosevelt'S address to the Con-
gress, January 4, 1885.
Many Americans labor under the
hallucination that "the new
order" which the Administration
has promised to establish Is Amer
ican in origin and original in con-
cept. The victims of this hallu-
cination will presently find how
badly they have heen deceived.
This so-called new order Of
things" was set forth in a book
by an English Radical who COM
pleted it one month to the day
before the Administration took
office. The name of the Radical
English Professor is Dennis w.
Brogan.

was written by another Radical

KEY POSITIONS"

"They have had a guiding hand

fencing"
This Is not the full extent of
Professor Frankfurter's power.

How many other American
schools, colleges and universities
are using the same alien guide

however, by Radical Brogan'S book
is his contempt for the Framers

Appointment Of william A.
Schnader, of Philadelphia, to
serve on the international tech
nical committee of aerial legal
experts, prOvOkeS speculation as
to whether the Pennsylvania Re-
publican is to become q part Of
the Raw Deal.
Schnader was defeated in his
attempt to become Republican
governor of the Keystone State in
1884 by George Earle who broke
the G.. o. P. deadlock and became
the first Democrat to be elected
to the post of chief executive OF
that State in almost so years.
He had been attorney general
of PennSs lrGniG and had been
knoU1t as Grurdy'S counsel, SerU-
ing as attorney for Joseph
Grundy, of tariff controversy.
A lawyer with large corporation
affiliation, Schnader was known
as one Of the shrewdest legal ex-
perts in the State.
For him to be appointed to his
present post in this Democratic
deal has raised the question
whether he was selected for his
legal ability or whether he will
become q part Of the Democratic
domination.
Col. George E. Ijams, assistant
administrator Of the Veterans
Bureau, has just returned from a
tour of duty through the West.
Actively engaged in campaign.
ing against encrOachmentS Of
Communists, Colonel IjamS has
been forced to cope with their ef-
feet on his own organization.
When the longshoremen struck
on the West Coast not so long
ago, their refusal to handle ship
ping materially affected veterans
hospitalized on the Coast.
IjamS was dispatched to Seattle
to check on reports that the hos
pital there was unable to secure
food and medical supplies during
the strike.
In Seattle he was told by police
officials that trucks could not get
through to the hospital without
the approval of the strikers, many
Of whom were Communists.
Ijams called the leader of the
strike element and pointed out
that veterans were being affected
by the delay in shipments. The
leader advised that unless the
labor dispute was settled, supplies
could not be transported.
