NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WHAT AILS HITLER

Adoph Hitler, German chancellor, has sent a
strange message to Germans living in the United
States and other foreign countries 1t was more
than message. 1t an order to Germans even
though naturalized citizens of the countries in
which they live, to report to German consulatas.
All German-born men between 1S and 25 were o.
dered to register at the consulates and those fail
ing to do so will be subject to a minimum fine o.
sixty dollars. The order said that the Nazi minis
ter of the interior would announce annually the
ages of the registrants required to return to
Germany for service in the army or training in the
labor corps.
The whole thing is so absurd that it cannot be
taken seriously by any foreign country. 1t may
be doubted whether any ruler of any country ever
sent such an asinine order to foreign lands 1t is
reflection upon the intelligence if not the sanity
of its author The illness of Chancellor Hitler
must be more serious than reported and must have
spread beyond the throat .. ..-
Nazi Fascists in the United States have shown a
disposition to rebel against authority. At some o.
their meetings they have made speeches that show
ed little sympathy for the laws and institutions of
the country in which they are earning their daily
bread Immigrants of that type, from whatever
country they may come, are not suitable material
of which to make American citizens. The man who
comes here and lives upon the land comes because
he believes he can better his position or because
he wants to cause trouble If the strings OF the
fatherland are so firmly attached to him that he
will submit to orders to return for military or labor
service he should be sent back where he will be
in easier call.
The United States has profited much from Ger
man emigration. Germans in years gone by have
helped to build the country and have made good
citizens 1t was not until the Nazi government was
formed that suspicion attached to newcomers from
Germany-Greensville News.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

For more than 100 years the process of soil ero-
sion has been going and yet little has been said
about it. In speaking of it now the government is
calling attention to the Importance of maintaining
soil fertility.
That has been the trouble from the beginning.
There is no soil erosion on high producing farms.
The way to prevent farm from losing it's soil is
to keep it busy producing big crops. 1t requires a
network OF roots in the soil to grow big crops and
these roots will hold the soil in its place.
More attention needs to be given to doing the
things that tend to grow heavy crops if we would
hold our soils. Lime is needed on most soils. More
legumes must be grown. Fewer bare soils must
be seen on our farms, The Importance of cover
crops must be stressed more and more.
Better farming will reduce the expenses of the
government in preventing soil erosion. Remove
the cause and you will eliminate the effect.-Mon-
roe Enquirer.

STICK TO THE FACTS

,- Reports have come from Raleigh that some
judges and magistrates have allowed persons ar
rested and charged with driving while drunk to
change the charge to some other charge SO that
they may not lose their drivers license. Such a
practice should not be tolerated. When a person
is arrested and charged with driving his car while
drunk, he should be tried for this charge and eth
er convicted or cleared. Nothing is to be gained
by beating the new law by technicalties.
The Carolina Motorist reports that more than
1900 licenses had been revoked up to january q,
and that most of these were on account of drunken
driving. If North Carolina is to rid the highways
for the great majority of the deaths and accidents
then there must be the full support of all who are
interested in safe driving and law enforcement

SEA Service STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON. - "The Lady
w From louisiana" as Senate
colleagues. now address Huey
Longs widow, is the source of a
great deal of speculation here.
Everybody wonders whether
she will make any attempt to
carry on Huey's campaigns with
anything like his "fury and fire
works" style. Mrs. Longs obvi-
Gus gentility and quiet poise make,
that very unlikely.
Those who know her well doubt
that she has had any great IA
miliarity with Huey's acts, poll
cies, and associates in late years.
But that was not always true.
In the days when Huey was run
ming for his first public office, that
of railroad commissioner, the
Kingfish himself told how "my
headquarters were established in
the small residence of my father
!n-law in Shreveport, from which
my wife, with the help of my fam
lily and friends in the neighbor-
hood, mailed out literature and
answered letters.
Although my first child was
only a year DID," Huey continued,
my wife conducted my campaign
headquarters with courage and eff,
ciency."
LII Of which goes to show that
IA "The Lady From Louisiana" is
not entirely without knowledge of
what it's all about in the dust of
the political arena.
IT is further related of Mrs.
Long that in those early days she
often mingled with the audience
when Huey was speaking, and
flashed him signals telling him
when he was doing all right and
when he was Topping.

have been too much inclined to discount the
excellence and strength of the winning Davis
Cup nations, in the conviction that anything
that found anywhere else
The responsibility for this rosy optimism
springs from number of sources: The press,
the critics. the players themselves Though
it's hard to tell why. after the last nine yearsD,
and the Davis Cup Committee. Everybody
seems to lose sight of the fact that Lacoste,
Cochet, Borotra and Brugnon were great
players up to three or four years ago, and that
Fred Perry and Bunny Austin are great play
ers today, especially on their own courts.
For example, consider the attitude toward
Sidney Wood - although it has applied to
the members of all our recent teams Wood
has been expected to play far better than any
close study of his game or his record would
warrant He is fine player, but certainly not
the superman of the racquet that he is cred
tied with being. If they would stop expecting
Wood to make shots that are too difficult to
get by Old Man Law of Averages, just that
much sooner would he develop into sound
orthodox tennis player, capable OF winning
Davis Cup matches and coming through in a
pinch with a sound shot that would win Tor
him instead of near miracle shot that Just

mittee. They don't need any Simon Legree IN
f1annels to keep them in there doing their best.
Why not allow the members of the team
themselves to name the man who is to lead
them into battle? After all, the players are
going to spend six or eight weeks in close
daily contact That is stiff test of friendship,
so what's the matter with allowing the men
who are going to make the fight to pick the
man in whom they have confidence?
The captain should have about three
quarters of the voting power, believe. when
the time comes to make the final selection as
to just which men are to play IN the DAVIS
CUP singles and doubles. He should wait to
see how the players perform IN the tourna-
ments abroad and take most careful note OF
each mans mental and physical condition at
the end of the Wimbledon championships.
This matter of mental attitude is very I'M
portant, even if player physical condition
is up to the standard.
Having done that, l think, the captain
should pick what appeared to him to be the
strongest possible team al that time, whether
those named we're veterans or youngsters, had
had Davis Cup experience or not. A player
will get lust about as much experience playing
in the big tournaments abroad - The Queens
Club and Wimbledon. for example - as ne

Bill Tilden, John Doeg and Ellsworth Vines,
to mention only few, serve equally well with
out breaking the rule. But because it is not
rigidy enforced in the United States, the
average American player is thrown completely
out of his stride by having many foot-faults

example, witness Sidney Wood, who was
penalized eighteen times In one match In
England two or three years ago.
wonder whether the average person in
tennis gallery realizes just how important a
part tactics play in tennis. l don't believe
l ever really appreciated the value of cor
rect tactics until saw Big Bill Tilden in
challenge round match against Jean Borotra
in 1880, nthe Roland Garos Stadium.
Bill was behind, one set to two and was
trailing at "a in the fourth. Borotra was
superb that day, and his persistent storming
of the net, to finish off with brilliant, piercing
volleys, was rapidly heading Bill toward
defeat. was sure Bill was in for licking. He
lust didn't seem able to get the ball out OF
Borotras reach, while Jean was supremely
confident. happy and not tired.
Borotra was serving in the seventh game of
the set, when things began to happen. was
sitting beside the court and could feel Bill
thinking! 1t was the most tense moment |
have ever experienced in tennis. Bill had to do
something. He did, and you could have flat

Poor lean! He had been almost breaking
his neck from the start in his furious ruSnes

was Tilden pulling him in. But it is one
thing to 20 to the net - one is hitting down,
and hard; but to be forced in is decidedly
different, as you are compelled to hit up,
and softly. Bills sudden change of tactics
completely broke up Jeans attack and his
nerves as well, and Bill went straight on from
there to victory 1t was only the willy tennis
brain of Tilden that pulled him through.
Tactics are SO per cent psychology IN tennis.
The man with the better knowledge OF

Australia defeat us, our tennis hopes for 1896
will be ended, but if we win, then hazards at
least as great face us on the historic Courts of
Wimbledon. Probably Germany will oppose
US in the Inter-Zone Final and the winner OF
that tie will earn the right to face England,
the cup holder in the fateful challenge round.
Those two battles must be waged and won
before we can pack up the Davis Cup and
bring it back to the United States.
Can America do it? Can we turn back
Australia's challenge and follow through to
final victory over England? What can we do
to help our chances of attaining our goal!
Nobody has asked it of me, but as battle
SCARED veteran of seven years OF DAVIS Cup
warfare on many and far-fung fronts. | feel
the urge to offer some suggestions, from
players standpoint that might aid us.
First, let me present, in capsule form,
few of the remedies l have in mind. 1t
may be that two or three of these capsules
will be hard to swallow, but feel sure that
once they've been gulped down, everyone will
feel better and perhaps that priceless cup
will again be cleaning in Fifth Avenue
jewellers show window.
The suggested remedies, in order:
No. Don't baby the players.
No. 2-Take it for granted that the play
ers are at least as keen to win the cup as is
the Davis Cup Committee.
No. 3-Let the Davis Cup team select its
own captain.
No. 4-Lets go light on the optimism -
players, officials and tennis critics. There have
been too many Polyannas in the past
No. s. Stress the importance of the foot
fault rule and insist upon its observance.
No. g Hammer into the heads OF the
Davis Cup players and those youngsters who
are on the way up the value of tactics and
psychology
No. Let the battle cry of this years
team be: Attack! Attack! Attack"
believe that in the past some of our Davis
Cup teams have been coddled too much and
that not enough allowance has been made for
the varying personalities involved. What
might be good medicine for one man might
violently disagree with another.
We all want to bring the cup back players
as well as the United States Lawn Tennis
Association; but think it sometimes is for
gotten that the team members feel they have
