NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NO SUPPRESSION

| A paragraph from recent syndicated article
by Dr. Harley l.. Lutz, professor Of public finance
at Princeton University, gives timely warning.
| whenever a government permits freedom Of
sneech and Of the press" wrote DR.. Lutz, there
will be certain amount Of agitation for the over
throw Of that government. The remedy is not sup
pression Of agtators and their subversVe doctrines
bpt such thorough understanding Of the advan-
ta1es Of the democratic system will provide
complete immunity against these doctrines. When
everyone is thoroughly immunized, the soap-box
orator and the writers Of books that extol autoc-
racv in its various forms will be clearly seen for
What they are, namely gold brick statesmen If we
should make the mistake Of suppressing them, we
would thereby lay grounds for a suspicion that
there IS an element Of truth in their nonsense"
There is a sensible attitude and one that should
he more prevalent II history teaches anything, II
teaches that suppression Of doctrine is usually
The least effective way Of combating that doctrine.
Tet there be- light on all subjects Of social and
economic interest-and the light we mean IS that
which comes with free and open discussion II our
particular form Of government would not stand up
under the searchlight Of frank discussion, there
would be reason TO question it. Only OF course II
does stand up-many many times better than 90
the various "isns" advocated by the crackpotS ana
Jeroapogues. And there is real merit in the idea
that if all citizens of the United States were ia
rnar with the rights and privileges guaranteed by
Tho Constitution, even those who now deuded
nv what DIR. Lutz calls "gold brick statesmen" would
possess greater appreciation Of the highest mean
inc NJ the term "free-born American" Education,
not suppression is the remedy.
For that matter, the real danger. TO our Amer-
can traditions does not come from those who open
" advocate the setting up of dictatorship under
whatever name. The greatest danger IS from those
ho seek to undermine the civil rights and hoerteS
enioyed under the Constitution and who disguise
their objective by prating of patriotism. Here Is
tho real menace, half hidden though 1t may De-
Communists and Fascists can make but little mead
vav in the United States; it is those groups "hich
work secretly and do not say plainly what they IN
tend 70 do that need to be watched. 1t IS against
thorn that the Constitution, the greatest charter OF
human rights yet drawn up, must be protected

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Imore 1rlendIy-Congressman Josh
Lee.
tnEFEAT of Congressman George
- Huddleston in Alabama was
even more satisfying to the New
Deal crowd. It's at. least a good
guess that the administration went
as far as it could, without expos
ing itself, to contribute to the re-
suit.
HuddleSton came within a hairs
breadth last year of Wrecking
Roosevelt's pet Wheeler-Rayburn
public utility holding company
act. He served on conference
committee as a key member, and
his die-hard opposition brought on
as spectacular a test of strength
between president and a power
full special interest group, in this
case the power trust" as has ever
been seen.
IN Texas Congressman Sam Ray
I burn was renominated equiv
alent to reelection there), and
Congressman Maury Maverick re-
ceived such large plurality as to
assure his denomination in a run
off.
Rayburn is Roosevelt'S candidate
cts supposed to- be "a secret, Of
,courSe) for Democratic floor Lead
er and to succeed Bill Bankhead
as speaker of the House, in case
the latter's health doesn't hold out.
Maverick is the South'S out
standing liberal in Congress. He
also incurred the wrath of utilities
and Oil interests, and a large Slush
fund was thrown in against him.
He campaigned as pal OF the ad-
miniStration. Roosevelt, although
always publicly proclaiming that
he can take no part in primary
contests, secretly did everything
he reasonably could to insure
Mavericks denomination.

WASHINGTON-D moor
" planning to meet in Detroit
Aug. 7 to express their detesta-
ton of the New Deal will not
include holders of public office or
those who recently enjoyed the
suffrage of the voters. =.
Whether there is any signif-.
canoe in that-or any reason for
belief that AL Smith, Governor Ely
of Massachusetts, and ex-senator
Jim Reed of Missouri have lost
their old popular followings-it is
a thought which arises in connec-
ton with the fact that the New
Deal has been conspicuously sue
cessful this year in most Demo-
cratic primary elections where its
prestige, its favorites, or its enc
mics were involved.
Numerous pro-New' Deal and
anti-New Deal members of Con-
gress have been renominated more
or less automatically. In 20 state
primaries involving 2l3 House
seats, only 10 members have been
defeated for denomination. And

THE point is, however-if it is
point-that in fights where,
candidates have been outstanding
ly identified with the adminiStra-
ton and its legislation, and special
attacks were made upon them, and
in contests where the Democratic
incumbents similarly have fought
the New Deal to where they were
cordially hated in administration
ranks, Roosevelt has had the
breaks.
Gore, of course, played the role
Of gadfly in Washington, loud in

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By IKE WALTON

The drouth in the West, year
after year, shows plainly to those
who can see, that the Almighty
PLAYS no favOrites. We used to
hear about those corn and wheat
fields as if listening to Baron
Munchausen. Maybe they will
stage a comeback; but the man
who looks for reasonable contin-
uity of seasonal conditions pro-
motive of farm production would
do we'll to remember that rain
makes forests; and forests are the
best sign Of long continued peri
odic moisture. Prairies are SuSpI-
cious things. They may look line
and be easy to plough under ana
cost less at the start, but will their
fertility last?
If they want to improve things
out there on a truly effective
scale, let them turn the Missouri
river at Kansas City; build a ca
nal from there to San Antonio;
dam every river in between; tun-
mel through mountains; in other
words do the way the old Romans
did but on scale to beat them
all hollow. Then they could store
water where it is needed and cure
the food in the Mississippi for all
time. Of course your Uncle lke's
ideas are too big for this puny
generation, but if folks had sense
enough to see it, they could see
that a small part of the cost of
the World war to US alone would
see that Great Western Canal
Joining the Rio Grande and re-
decming a fourth of the nation.
