thing the nation had to fear
was fear, Mcleod said that
since that day the Chief Execu-
tive had perpetuated and in.
creased the terror which gripped
the American people.
He said:
each day since he delivered
that inspiring message on the
Capitol Plaza he has added a
new burden of fear to the Amer
lean people, until now the great
bulk of our honest, upright,
thrifty, and loyal citizens are
Mortified at his actions and
pOtentialities.
cat the time when Mr.. ROOse-
welt told us the only thing we
had to fear was fear, our fear
was largely due to the financial
situation.
"Today the American people
tremble and quake through fear
that the very institutions which
this man was elected to preserve
are to be demolished"
Further, Mcleod pointed out
that although the President had
sworn to uphold the ConStitu'
ton he came before Congress
and while admitting the strong
possibility of the unconstitution"
atty of must" legislation he
urged it's enactment.
Mcleod then asked his col
leagues:
care we here as the whipped
dogs Of one mad with the lust Of
power, or are we here as repre-
sentatives of a great, free and
liberty loving peOple?"
Mcleod then pointed out 1t
was time for an American
movement" a movement to pre-
serve the Constitution and the
Americans.
And then he recited the pre-
amble of the Constitution and
said:
"Please God, let us cast
aside those acts and those men
who would lead us away from
American institutions, and let
us take our proper place as the
champions Of the American
movement"
Those words "AmericGn ntoUe-
ment" may bring forth much
support to Mr.. Mcleod. judg-
ing. BY the appeals received by
many members of Congress for
preservation of the ConStitu'
ton.
Leaders of Congress may in
sist that their charges remain
in washington for many weeks
to secure enactment of must"
legislation.
Some of the boys refuse to
pay much attention, however.
Although the Senate member.
ship remains on it's usual plane,
there is an exodus from the
House.
At least 100 members Of the
ABS have announced privately

as by a long and costly war.
Therefore, whatever settle
ment the French and the Brit
ish propose and agree to sup
port must be of a nature that
will enable MusSolini to claim
a victory for his government.
Nor will an empty victory suf-
flee to relieve conditions in Italy
that cannot be trifled with
much longer.
The standard of living in
Italy has now declined below
the danger point. And when
economic security is destroyed,
political security does not long
survive.
Skilled labor is paid in such
centers of population as Milan
and Genoa only II cents an
hour. There is today a 30-hour
week in all industries. Taxation,
as Professor Lingelbach, Of the
University of Pennsylvania, told
a University of Virginia audi
ence recently, has reached a sat-
uration point in Italy.
The national debt is enor'
nous and the lire grows steadily
weaker.
Population is now a most Sc
rious problem for Italy. The
country is twice the size Of New
England but it contains five
times as many people. And all
the while the Italian birth rate
is increasing.
In natural resources Italy is
far from rich. The country is
almost entirely without coal,
iron, petroleum or cotton.
Faced with the necessity for
industrial development Italy
lacks the raw materials within
her own borders essential to
such development.
OLD WORLD QUARREL
Mussolini knows, and the
italian people know. that in
Abysinnia are to be found the
raw materials they require for
the future prosperity of Italy
coal. iron, cotton and rubber.
The Italians also have hopes
of finding large supplies of oil in
Abysinnia, if ever they get a
chance to develop that coun-
try. This chance, in one form
or another Great Britain and
France must obtain for Italy,
it would appear, if there is to be
peace between Mussolini and
Halle Selassie and peace in
Europe.
This is the problem with
which Great Britain, France
Italy and Russia are wrestling
behind the Geneva curtain
called the League of Nations.
This is an old world quarrel
in which the United States has
no part, however sincere her
hope may be for world peace.

ture peace of Europe.
France and Great Britain
are united in the belief that
the downfall of Mussolini
might upset the balance of
power in Europe and give to.
Germany an opportunity to
bring Austria under her DOM
nation.
The military authorities of
both France and Britain are
doubtful about the ability OF
Italy to conquer Abysinnia
without an indefinite period OF
guerrilla warfare, and a list OF
casualties too long to predict.
They fear-these military au-
thorities of the British and the
French-that war with Abysin-
mia instead of enhancing the
prestige of Mussolini at home
might so weaken his position as
to bring about his downfall.
EUROPEAN BALANCE
A revolution in Italy is the
last thing that France and
Great Britain would wish to see
in the present state of Europe.
Hence their joint efforts to
bring about a settlement that
will save Italy from a war that
might upset the whole European
balance.
The task is not an easy one.
It's performance may take some
time. But when the British be-
gan increasing their naval force
in the Mediterranean the Euro
pean world knew that she was
serious in her determination to
dissuade Italy from warning on
Abysinnia.
And the British Navy is the
most powerful "persuader" IN
all Europe. Unite the British
navy and the French army in
support of a cause and Italy,
standing alone, would find 1t
dangerous to hold out.
But Mussolini's prestige could
as easily be impaired by failure
to make gains in Abysinnla
through a peaceful settlement

both must face? Swiftness-
neutrality-suspicious. of per-
formance-these are essentials
for both of them. And increas-
ingly imperative each year.
Back in the COS a cumber-
some old coal-burner numbered
along at nothing per, and so did
the minds that ran them.
ANTIQUATED
Speed hadn't yet become a
primary consideration for either
machine or men. But suppose
you put one of those trains on
the goth Century run between
New York and Chicago, or the
transcontinental trip - VIII a t
would happen? The old-timer
simply couldn't take it, and the
world would give you the laugh.
Yet millions of human beings
are trying to face the competi'
ton of modern life with equally
antiquated action-then wonder
ing why they never get ahead!
It takes more than willing
ness, hard work, perseverance
and honesty to keep up with the
Big Parade today. More even
than a bright mind. 1t takes a
STREAMLINED mind-a nina
so constructed that it wastes
none of its energy in bucking Its
own handicaps.
The old-fashioned locomotive
was sturdy and reliable. Like
an honest mind, it stuck to the
tracks. stood a vast amount OF
punishment and could generate
plenty of power. But it wasted
much of the power because 1t
was so clumsily constructed.
Think back again and you'll
remember the bulges and
bumps, knobs and knicknacks
that bucked the wind at every
turn. Then look at 1885 stream
line There's nothing on that
smooth, sleek, bullet-nosed Cyl.
inder to snag pressure or retard
action. Clean as a blade, it
cuts the stiffest gale without a
particle of lost energy.
SLOWS ACTION
That same comparison holds
the secret of human success or
failure. The old-fashioned type
of mind, like the old-fashioned
type of engine, wasted most OF
it's power and cut down its
speed because of its own sense
less clutter.
Before such a mind can show
results it must overcome the
drag of it's own sentimentality,
superstition. peeViShnesS and
prejudice. Not much chance to
make speed with a mess like
that.
But now look at a 1885 Model
Streamline Thinker. Still far
from perfect, but a million years
ahead of the old wood-burners
that Sulked, snorted, beloved
and baked at every new idea.
Give it a goal and away it goes.
No stopping for sentimental
peanuts on the track! No SLOW
ing up because prejudice bucks
progress! Wrecks? Sometimes
sure. But. boy, it certainly
shows ACTION!
So what? Think 1t over for
yourself. You've been blaming
all sorts of conditions and peo-
pie for your lack of luck. But
how about your own timing.
