GOOD FELLOWS
TOLD NEEDS
OF FAMILY
BY THE GOOD FELLOW
EDITOR

In two crowded rooms in
shabby Northwest home, nine
children-the eldest IA and the
youngest six monthS-are wonder
ing what Christmas has in store
for them this year.
They do not expect much as
their Daddy is sick and unem-
ployed and their mother also is
unable to work because Of the
small baby.
But the mother cannot look
into her children's eyes and say
that they. being poor children,
cannot have Santa visit them. AS
a last resort the mother of this
large flock appealed to the Good
Fellow Club Campaign OF The
Washington Times. Her letter
reads in part:
please don't forget us, for
there will be no Christmas at all
without someone's help. If we
can't have anything else, we would
like to have some food for Christ
mas, and perhaps a little fuel, to
be comfortable. at least, on
Christmas"
There are three girls in this
family. ages IA. 4, and 2. and
the boys ages are 13. II, 9, 7, 8,
and, of course. the tiny baby
It's a large family. indeed. anG
It would be difficult for one Gooo
Fellow to give this group a really
happy, Christmas. But a grand
system of handling large families.
is for several Good Fellows to
pool their funds, and together
stage for their holiday wards a
perfectly beautiful Christmas.
Many pathetic pleas for help
are being received by the Gooc
Fellow Editor. Although we have
gratefully received the help OF a
number of Good Fellows already.
we regret to say that many, many
small boys and girls in needy
families will be forgotten this
year unless a greater number OF
Good Fellows respond.
It doesn't take much money to
enable you to be Good Fellow.
A few toys and a basket OF food,
or perhaps a few clothes, if thar
is needed most. may make a real
Christmas for some unfortunate
family.
The Washington Times will
furnish the names of as many
persons or families, adults or chill
dren, as the Good Fellow wishes.
If you wish to help. please notify
the Good Fellow Editor as early
as possible. You can do so by
mail, telephone, or in person at

BERLIN P).-Foreign diplomats
contend that there is a great share
of bluff in the matter of the Reich's
recreated army.
Official statements Of the Nazi
Army's newly gained prowess are at
tributed to diplomatic n1aneuvering.
Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goering, who
secretly built the new air fleet, has
said he has the finest equipment in
the world-the most modern means
of manufacture, the best engines and
pilots.
Foreign observers who keep close
watch Of movements, say "only mush-
rooms grow overnight"
Germany has the possibility Of
building a powerful war machine" !"
the observers said, but the machine
isn't running yet"
They are none the less worried
over what the future holds. With
excellent Industrial capacity and a
dictatorship capable Of shifting masses
Of laborers from one plant to an
other and from one part Of the ma
ton to another, and still maintain
secrecy, the Reich can build swiftly.
But the observers believe the COM
plete reconstruction of an army re-
quires more time than the Nazis have
had.
German leaders, while not saying
there has been any overstatement as
to the true position of the Reich's
progress, nevertheless maintain that
other countries have "whooped up"
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's building
program In order to obtain big gun
budgets from their own parliaments.

would vote against large part Of the
New Deal
What is coming to pass, 1t Is clear,
Is that the Democrats in Congress,
who at one time expected to sweep
the country easily in 1896, are now
beset with uncertainty, especially rs
to control Of the House. Until lately
no one has considered seriously the
idea of loss of House control by the
Democrats, although it has been as
sumed that the Republicans will make
some gains Today, while 1t is not
expected generally that the Repub-
licans will sweep into control. the
number of districts which may be re-
garded as doubtful is increasing.
It is not at all out Of the question
that the Democratic majority in the
next Congress will be reduced to the
point where Republican and ilsur-
gent or independent elements are in
virtual control. President Roosevelt,
II reelected, may find himself with
House nominally Democratic but
out from under his domination. The
effect of such situation easily can
be imagined.
Many Causes for Unrest.
The causes for the gathering unrest
are many. Industrial sections are
aroused over the processing taxes and
other phases Of the A. A. A.. The
N. r. A., always disliked in the agri-
cultural sections, has left there q
wake of bad feeling which Is not
helped by talk Of efforts to revive it.
Signs are numerous Of concern among
taxpayers-not all of them wealthy
over increasing Government expendi-
lures That almost forgotten person,
the ultimate consumer, is beginning to
manifest himself and to desire some
thing more than protestations Of
kindly purposes to shield and protect
him. The rebellion of Detroit house.
wives against meat prices may prove
far-reaching.
While the new tax bill Is con-
sidered as satisfying nobody, it has
centered public attention on the fact
that after the elections another tax
bill with teeth in it will come forth.
/ me OeIcdI VI Cllc La IOiIGLOC duICtId-
ment, increasing surtaxes all along
the line and lowering exemptions, has
not obscured the fact that the coun-
try soon will face much higher tax
burdens. One worry Of a Democratic
legislator as he returns to his con-
stituents is what to say if his op
ponents demand to know his stand
on tax legislation.
The manner in which the $4,000
900 900 works fund has been handled
has added greatly to the Democrats
uneasiness. At a recent meeting o
the House Democratic Steering Com
mittee on this subject nearly every
member poured forth his wrath. Tht
shifting Of the works program ano
the inability of members Of CongreS
to get ALLEGATIONS of funds have em-
barrassed them.
Unemployment still remains high.
Prospects are that the late Fall and
Winter will see heavy demands on
local, State and Federal government
for relief. Growing skepticism is
manifest as to the works program
coming anywhere near meeting its
advance promises. And there are
prognostications Of more large de-
mands for Government appropria-
tions.

of a high birth rate while the German
birth rate is low. If the bars were
lifted in Danzig the Poles would food
the city numerically in a decade. In
the same fashion they would soon be-
come a majority in the East Prussian
region. where land is held by large
landholders who are bankrupt and but
for government support would be
obliged to sell their estates.
Possession Of Seafront Issue.
Back of the immediate issue of Dan
zig, therefore, lies the larger question
of the ultimate possession of the whole
of the Baltic seafront from Lithuania
to the Prussian province of Pome-
rama. There is, politically. no basis
for compromise, because for both the
German and the Pole the issue is COM
plete possession of all of the land. In
order to preserve their German char
acter the Danzigers have invited eco
nomic ruin. To keep their door upon
the open sea the Poles have been
ready at all times to risk war with
Germany. Wnat Is now IN progress
is only a new phase Of drama al
ready seven centuries old.
From start to finish, too, this con-
temporary Danzig episode has demon
strated the fallacy underlying the
whole idea of peace which dominated
the mind of Wilson. Just as the
Ethiopian episode discloses that the
League cannot prevent great nation
from seeking colonial expansion by
war, so the Danzig affair demonstrates
that Geneva cannot permanently stop
the struggle of races for territory
which each holds vital to national eX-
istence or security. Together these

far back as 1908 Italy vainly requested
the demarcation of frontiers with
Ethiopia. The appointment Of board
Of frontier experts was contemplated
in that year, but Ethiopia failed to
nominate her representatives. Mean

also attacked the French possessions
at Jibuti, and recently the French

troops were massacred by Ethiopian

two affairs, the one colonial, the other
racial, serve to demonstrate how mis-
taken was the appraisal Of the World
War as a war to end war and how
futile it is to attempt to found q sys-
tenn of permanent peace upon q series
of paper pacts.
Fight Will Go To Finish.
It is this fundamental divergence
between German and Polish aims ant,
interests which deprives the truce
signed on August of all importance
save as an expedient to postpone the
clash both nations see to be inevitable
eventually. Under pressure from Hit
Ter, personally, the DanZig Nazis have
yielded and the Poles have consented
to modify in some details their prac-
tical blockade of the city. Hitler has
thus momentarily sacrificed Danzig
because the alternative was, on the
one hand. break with Poland and,
the other, financial support to the
Free State beyond present German
resources.
But although the local Nazis have
bowed to the will of the Fuehrer tenn
porarily, the fight will 60 on and to
finish. The effort to make the Cor
ridor invisible for ten years has
broken down in less than two. The
basic incompatibility Of Polish and
German policies has been once more
disclosed and, in European chancel-
ieries, the region Of the Vistula will
once more be marked in red as q
danger zone. Before Autumn comes,
too, the present incident may have
produced very significant reprecus-
sions, not merely in Berlin and War

)oNdREss is champing at the
bit to end the session and go
Y home, and the main reason
~ Is not the heat here nor
need for rest, but simply that most
House members and those Senators
who are coming up for reelection are
worried about political conditions back
home.
This doubt. anxiety and perplexity
over conditions is not confined to one
party. 1t is necessarily more con-
spicuous among the Democrats be-
cause of their greater preponderance.
Despite all denials and attempts to
minimize it, there is no concealment
of the fact the recent Rhode Island
upset has disturbed a large number
of the House Democrats, apart from
those in the South, and the uneasi-
ness, too, is obvious in Democratic
circles in the Senate.
AS the session nears close, there
is more indication than ever of a
revolt among the Democratic men,
bership in Congress against some
leading phases of the New Deal. Talk
in Democratic quarters in the cor
ridors and cloak rooms substantiates
this.
Flare of insurgency.
From time to time through this ses-
sion insurgency among the Democrats
has hared up against certain recon-
mendations Of the President. Prom
inent instances Of this have been the
rebellion against the huge works ap-
preparation bill in the Senate, when
men like Senators Carter Glass OF
Virginia, Alva B. Adams of Colorado
and M. E. Tydings Of Maryland pro-
tested strongly against piling up the
public debt and inviting a weakening
Of the Government credit; and the
overwhelming refusal of the House to
yield to administration demands for
the death sentence" in the utility
holding company bill. But, on the
whole, the majority in the two houses
has voted for the administration
bills.
Nevertheless, Congress will wind ur
the session with Democratic insur-
fency and dissatisfaction seething al
both ends of the Capitol as never be-
fore. Conservative Democrats Of the
East, North and West who are in
clined to rest their faith on Jeffer-
sonian ideas are disaffected. Besides
there is dissatisfaction among the
more radical elements. The admin
istration's policies swing too far to-
ward the left to please the conserva-
tiveS, and the progressive and radica
Democrats hold that the New Deal il
