more than half of that states po-

lively few benefits from the New

prominent but unnamed colored re-

Unlike other states where far

ton is colored. apparently few sta
tistics in Mississippi are available.

996,856 whites there, declares all
records on relief have been per-

states both North and South where
the colored population was not so
great.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-It is not because the
w principal powers plan peace that there is no
war in Europe. 1t is because many look to war
that none dares fire gun. second reason is that
although all have been preparing furously for war;
none is fully ready and the preparations of all con-
stantly defer the complete readiness of any one.
England has suffered serious threat to her
colonial empire by permitting Italy to bestrde its
lifeline on the Red Sea and to control Lake Tana-
water supply of Egypt. She would have fought for
that, but she didn't know which side France would
take.
If Hitler fortifes the Fhneland, he dominates
Europe. France would have fought to prevent its
occupation, but she didn't know what England would
do.

Modern industry is burlesqued by the young Eng

Crusader Herbert Spade satirizes rather than pill

He finds business "far too important an affair
ever to be taken seriously" Beginning with tss
thesis that there is reason why any of Is who
is tired of working for living should hesitate to
go into business and make few Millions he gives
his "Maxims for Coming Millionaires"
Author Spade divides business into manufacture
ing ("buying something and making something out
of IT'D and retailing c'buying something and making
lot out of jt").
In his imaginary bassoon factory you find his
keynote Of modern methods: You either take things
to the top of the factory and let them fall you
push them through the factory on the one-foor

Washington Merry-Go-Round
by DREW p

VX7ASHINGTON, April 21.-If
W Alfred Mossman Landon of
Kansas is pitted against Franklin
Delano Roosevelt in November's
presidential derby, the country
will witness a race between two
men closely matched in personal
attributes.
Like the Democratic President,
the slightly younger Kansas Gov
ernor has highly attractive and
winning personality. Character
istic of his Midwestern back
ground, Landon's charm is more
honey. He lacks the accent, the
polished manner of Groton and
Harvard. But his innate friendli-
ness and liking for people is genu-
inc and real. Hardboiled news
men who have journeyed to To-
peka to give him the once over"
have come away bubbling with
enthusiasm about the personality
of the man.
A S a vote-getter and politi-
n cal strategist, Landon has
demonstrated that he also is
there.
His accomplishments in Kan
sas' strife-ridden political cock
pit are impressive. Four years out
of law school, he organized his
county for Theodore Roosevelt's
Bull Moose sortie-and carried it.
In 1928 he managed the success

lying down. They are arching
their backs and returning to the
assault. Since they are credited
with possessing the organized in
telligence of the nation, it has
occurred to some of them that
they should justify this reputa-
ton and employ their knowledge
and wits.
Hartley Grattan has made
comprehensive survey of the sit
uation with respect to academic
freedom in three of the main bat
tlegrounds of the conflict, and
publishes his results in the Sur
vey Graphic" He examines in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-21

full campaign of Gov. Clyde Reed.
In 1882 he performed the dou-
BILE miracle of unifying the fierce
ly warning G.. o. P. factions, and
with this united front support
defeated a popular Democratic
Governor despite the Roosevelt
landslide.
Two years later, again notwith-
standing a New Deal tidal wave,
he not only repeated the perform
ance, but was reelected by a
greatly increased majority.
TN one important personal as
lpect Landon is distinctly in
ferior to Roosevelt. He is not an
effective public speaker.
But when it comes to personal
contact with individuals, Lam
don is a master of the craft. In
Kansas it is said he knows more
voters personally than any poll
tician since the late Vice Presi-
dent Charles Curtis.
On the rostrum and over the
air, Landon is limping figure.
Physically, he makes good ap-
pearance. His face is friendly
and firm; his chin well-molded,
his figure sturdy and about mid
die height. But when it is time
for forensics he boys down.
BY temperament Landon is not
the orator type. The moment he
rises to his feet his speech be-
comes stilted and faltering. Also
his Midwestern nasal twang lacks
timbre and carrying power,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-21

deficiency which the radio accen-
tuates. In contrast to Roosevelt's
rich, full voice, Landon's sounds
fiat and rasping.
For a national campaign in
which radio plays a leading role,
this is considerable handicap,
DUT in certain other attributes
- he has a lot in common with
Franklin Roosevelt. He has, for
instance, Roosevelt's knack of
getting along with his Legislature.
He doesn't believe in waving the
Big Stick like Teddy Roosevelt, or
in issuing mimeographed warn
ings like Hoover. He gets what
he wants, but he gets it through
f1attery, personal contact and
adroit politics.
TINE ballyhoo that Landon is a
~ Kansas Coolidge is pure myth
regarding both his budget and
his temperament.
Landon has anything but the
slow, cautious character of CAL
win Coolidge. All his life he has
been an oil man, a gambler. On
occasion he has thrown his for
tune into an oil field, and on top
of that his shirt.
Personally he spends with a
free hand. At a party he IS one
OF the first to reach for the bill.
AS Governor of Kansas, Lam
don has been a strict economizer,
but it is an unacceptable fact that
without Federal relief remittances
and AAA crop payments, any bal
ancing of the Kansas budget
would have been impossible. Even
SO, the state budget was balanced
at the expense of closing many
Kansas schools and putting a
severe drain on municipalities.
nNE thing which worries Lam
- don is the problem of get
ting across to the great mass of
voters the fact that he is more
liberal than the powerful Eastern
interests and Old Guard leaders
who are falling over themselves
to get aboard his bandwagon.
Landon is no Senator George
Norris. But he is far more
progressive than 95 per cent of
his hackers.
After spending several days
with Landon, Raymond Cram
Swing, political writer for the
New York Nation, remarked:
THE views he expressed to me
are so liberal I don't dare write
them. I'm afraid that if the fat
boys who are backing him really
knew what he thinks, they would
get cold feet"
q
IT IS fact that many of Lam
l. don's ideas are close to the
New Deal policies of the man he
is fighting.
For instance, he is strong for
old-age pensions and unemploy-
ment insurance. He pushed
through an amendment to the
Kansas constitution permitting
graduated income tax. Also he
passed his own Holding Corpora
ton Bill to force the big utilities
TO pay the cost of having them
selves investigated. And he has
fought most of his life against the
big oil companies.

DARIS, April 21.-The French
L. national elections scheduled
for this Sunday and on May 3
are likely to be the most signif-
icant in the history of the Third
Republic. The issues are mo-
mentouS.
Communism and Fascism will
stage the biggest and bitterest
battle this country has yet seen.
And Germanys coup in the
Rhineland will play an important
part.
A swing still further to the left
is expected, thanks to the Front
Populaire" - Common Front - a.
coalition of virtually all the
groups and parties from center
to, and including, the Commu-
nistS.
Two factors, however, will mill
tate to a certain extent against
the Common Front. One is the
new danger which the French
people scent very keenly from
across the Rhine. The other is
'the horrible example" set by their
neighbor, Spain.
