Judaism, Christianism! Nothing is
more clearly shown in Old and New
Testament, Genesis to Jude, than
the failure and insufficiency of
theocracy and (or) monarch; or than
the need, desire and effort of the
people to religiously overthrow theoc-
racy or monarchy, and to establish
those liberal" institutions and
psychology which they called THE
Kingdom of God" but which we, by
common consent, call democracy,
as the sole possible substitute See

ATTACKS MARTIAL RULE
IN TERRE HAUTE
BY Terre Haute Rea der

BY Terre Haute Reader
I live in Terre Haute and I want
to say that I didn't know what was
going on down here until I read it
in the Indianapolis papers, espe-
cially The Times.
The press here has been bridieG
by somebody or else they aren't 10
on their toes. The stories here have
shown only the side of the military
authorities.
After hearing about Norman
Thomas speech and Mr.. Hapgoods
description of the treatment he re-
ceived in the Vigo Jail, 1 have
changed my mind about military
rule. There is no reason for such
treatment as that.
I am a staunch Democrat, but I
don't care who did it. The estab-
lishment of martial rule in Terre
Haute and the maintenance of it
after its use expired, is unjust and
unnecessary, and probably illegal.

A GAME OF BLUFF

THE international poker game will probably
l. go on and on until at last one or another
of the players decides to call somebody's bluff.
1t is hard to avoid the feeling that every
body concerned has been doing tremendous
amount of blufing of late. So far, few i'm
portant bluffs have been called. The inter-
esting question is what will happen when
some one shoves stack of blue chips out to
the middle of the table and demands a look
at the hands.
You might say that Adolf Hitler set the
style when he announced that Germany was
through with the military clauses of the
Versailles treaty and would arm henceforth
to suit herself. This was a bluff, pure and
simple: Hitler wasn't ready to fight. But no
body had quite nerve enough to call him.
Germany today is rearning as the result of
having defed the world on pair of jacks
Then we come to the Japanese in the Far
East. Japan announced that she was going
to take over Manchuria and as much of China
as she wished and added that she would
build as big fleet as she pleased.
Everybody looked at the ceiling, scratched
his head and tossed in his cards Maybe
Japan was blufing, maybe not: nobody tried
to find out
Next in line is Signor Mussolini. With
many fourishes he declares that Italy is 60
ing to overrun Ethiopia. Will any European
nations try to stop him? Then, he says he
will fight. no matter who his enemy may be-
This sounds more like a bluff than either
of the other two cases Italys ability to
finance colonial expedition in Africa is in
doubt; how much more doubtful must be
her ability to finance major European war;
1t is hard to escape the conclusion that II
Duce is running a magnificent bluff
Lastly there is Great Britain; and if Mus
solini's war-like attitude looks like bluff so,
1t must be admitted, does the arched-hack
pose of the British lion. Italian naval and
air strength in the Mediterranean is greater
than Englands; furthermore, it has not for
more than century been England's custom
to fight major European power without first
lining up one or two husky allies
What can come out of a poker game of
this kind is beyond guessing The one in
escapable' conclusion seems to be that if you
talk tough enough and act as if you had EN-,
the world powers OF today will believe you.
Statesmen are nervous and uncertain -
and any poker player will tell you that a man
IN that shape is fairly begging to be bluffed.

ing anything against the New
Deal.
If Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that Mr..
Browder, the American Commu-
mist who spoke his piece at Mos
COW, has a copyright on wishing
for overthrow of government he
certainly is wrong.
1t seems a foregone conclusion
that the present system can't last
forever and that there must be
changes. Mr.. Roosevelt said so
himself. He should, as long as he
is determined to be funny, write
himself letter of stern reproof.
Mr.. Roosevelt ought to let his
friend, William Randolph Hearst,
in on the whole letter business
and tell him that the letter was
written in a moment of laughing
abandon. Mr.. Hearst takes the
thing seriously.
The terrible danger is that Rus
STA might take the letter serious
ly, because the Soviet is a vast
and powerful nation which may
in the near future control the
balance of power in the world.
Maybe the Soviet won't want to
recognize the United States!

President Roosevelt undoubt-
edly has a fine sense of humor,
and by this time if we do not
realize it, certainly Soviet Russia
does.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent to the Soviet
a humorous message asking the
Soviet to please silence the revo-
lutionary shoutings of an Ameri-
can citizen who happened to be
in Russia for a Bolshevik con-
vention.
Probably President Roosevelt
still is chuckling over the letter.

believe he is a real funster. Who
ever heard of asking another
country to tell one of your own
citizens to shut up?

HE'D SUGGEST GIVING

When I was a boy in a small
Hoosier town I belonged to the RIB.
My dad was the preacher Il tried
to be one but my ornery nature
kept busting out of the frock, so
I gave it up). We organized the
RIB around an old WORKOUT hand
propelled washing machine. Now
that the sacred order of RIB is
dead it won't do any harm to tell
what the three letters stood for.
And, I forgot to say these mys-
ferrous letters were on coffin lid,
which was the shape of our pins.
You know, the great issue which
nearly broke up our powerful group
was whether a fellows girl could be
given his pin to wear. Finally, the
serious question was settled. The
over Jealous members consented to
letting the mighty he-men pamper
their girl friends for a month at
time with the privilege Of wear

PAN AMERICAN
AN|TY URGED
BY WELLES

South America today had new
bid from Uncle Sam for stronger
bonds of friendship and economic
unity among the nations Of the
Western Hemisphere.
This country's desire to march
shoulder to shoulder with the
South American nations for en-
hancement of the American peo-
pies welfare was set forth by AS
ssitant Secretary of State Sumner
Welles in a nationwide radio
broadcast last night.
Meddling Banned
ReaSSuring the Latin-American
nations that the United States
intends to refrain from meddling
in the internal affairs of these
republics, Mr.. Welles said this
country sought a cooperative
relationship" with the "democ-
racies of the Western World"
which would be "free from sus-
picion and mistrust, and based
upon common political and COM
merical advantages" He said:
% This administration has de-
termined that in its American
relationships, the United States
claims to be an equal among
equals and no more and no
less"
HANDS OFF CUBA
In connection with the Cuban
situation, Mr.. Welles made it plain
that no matter how many revolts
that island republic may have,
this Government does not intend
to intervene. He said:
eve have extended to the
Cubans the hand of friendship
and we will continue to CO
operate with Cuba whenever we
can do so to the mutual
economic interest of both of our
countries, but the solution Of
their political difficulties lies
now solely in Cuban hands"
He said he had every reason to
believe" that the dispute with
Panama over payment in gold of
the $250,000 annual rental fee
would be settled soon.

But We Still Haze

To the Editor of The Times:
I think it is a disgrace to the
city that the Cherry Blossom
Festival has been Cancelled this
year.
Last year thousands of per.
sons came to the Capital to see
the blossoms and to enjoy
themselves.
More would come this year,
as times are better. It seems
to me that cancelling the festi-
val shows Washington business
men are defeatiSts and are not
following the injunction Of our
President to speed up recovery.
I hope that the leaders Of the
city will reconsider and that we
will have a festival bigger and
better than ever. T. A. T.
