A DICTATOR LEADS, BUT PEOPLE
PUSH HIM ON
CBy BRUCE CATION

Reading about the cheers that greet Pre-
mier Mussolini every time he makes j
speech to his constituents, and the acclaim
with which Hitler's public appearances are
greeted, one is forced to admit that the die
tators are not the only people who want
war these days.
The people themselves seem to want 1t.
They are, in fact, rarin' to go. Italian SOL
diers leave for Africa with laughter and
shouts, chock to the guards with morale
which is an army mans way of saying that
they are eager for a fuss.
Germans look fondly on their new fight
ing equipment; Japanese continue to give
their militaristS a deep and mistaken 10y
atty.
And although we are fond of saying
that wars are made by selfish men who
have life-sized axes to grind, it must be ad-
mitted that the common people have way
of taking the bit in their teeth and dashlng
enthusiastically toward the abyss.
Indeed, they often outrun the dictators
themselves. 1t is quite possible, for instance.
that Mussolfni would accept a compromise
solution of the Ethiopian crisis if it were
not for Italian public sentiment. His peo-
pie have their mouths fixed for war; It's
up to II Duce to give it to them.
All this represents one of the queerest
and most tragic perversions of human be-
havior that you could possibly imagine.
The human race has managed to get
itself into a very dark sort of blind alley.
The social and economic system that SEEM
ed to be working so we'll decade or two
ago has begged down somehow, and get
ting it started again is taking painfully
long time.
1t is easy to get the feeling that we are
simply marking time, that we are more or
less helpless in the grip of forces we can
not cOntrol-and the strain is very great.
What dictator, or militariStic govern
ment, does is to take this widespread hut
man impatience, intensity it, and focus it
on some external foe.
The citizen of a nation which is eagerly
preparing for war no longer feels that he
is marking time or that his country is help
lessly waiting for the inscrustable currents
of economies to straighten themselves out
He has definite, clearly visible goal tC
look at, tangible enemy to face.
In other words, once he is persuaded tc
look ahead to war, he can stop worrying
Times may be hard, but he can tell himself
that as soon as the war has been Tough
and won everything will be lovely.
He does not have to plague himself won
dering how consumption can be adjusted
to production, how the unemployed can bt
put back to work, or how the budget cal
be balanced.
1t is the dictator's job to set his people
feeling this way. Once he has done that
he need not worry about how he can leat
them into war-they will lead him into is
All he needs to do is to invent an exter
nal problem to take their minds off thei
real problems at home.

Killeen said. Its outcome might have
been far different, she admitted, had
there been a son or daughter.
Consideration for Wife.
That Killeen, even after estrange-
ment. still respected his wife's feel
ings was evidenced by remark when
deputy marshals served him with no
tice of the divorce suit as he was
leaving Mrs. Maddox's home in the
$500 block of Third street northeast
Don't let my wife know where you
found me-" he implored.
Mrs. Killeen said she neither saw

Friday night that he went to his
Brookmont, Md, home with the
Maddox woman. He was slain there
