cence In advance Of actual experience
with it.
Psychologists probably can explain
the difference. The individual who
hopes for nothing doubtless is not dis
appointed. On the other hand, those
who prepare with ardent delight must
not invariably be disillusioned. Long
ago 1t was said graphically but not un-
truly that those who would bring back
the wealth of the Indies must carry the
wealth of the Indies with them in their
travels. A IKE observation might be
made with regard to less lengthy and
arduous journeys.
Vacation, obviously, signifies variety.
The world looks forward adventurously
to such periodic Interruptions Of routine,
but the wise expedient Is to get ready"
at leisure. Panic haste at the last
moment may spoil everything. The
young woman with her book about
Maine is q character worthy OF emula-
tion In more respects than one. To
paraphrase President Roosevelt, she
should have grand holiday because she
"has planned it that way"
Evening star., 1936-05-25

President Roosevelt's expedition into
the Southwest during Republican Ma
tional Convention week will produce
lively competition between him and the
big Cleveland show for the front page
and the favor of radio listeners. There
is. of course. no White House admission
that r. D. R. timed his trip so as TO
blanket the G. o. p. proceedings, out
IL is likely to be a counter attraction OF
the first MAGNITUDE. That will certainly
be the case If the President seizes the
opportunity of his speeches In ArKansas
and Texas as an occasion for major
Democratic campaign pronouncements.
The circumstances that he expects 10
deliver his principal address at Dallas
on Friday, June 12-probable date OF
final nomination action at Cleveland
Is interpreted by Washington politicians
as prima facie evidence that New Dealer
No. 1, master politician that ne is, plans
at least to share the hmeight with
cleveland. if not to steal the show alto
gether.
Whatever the final result of the House
Investigation of the Townsend plan
contempt proceedings, or otherwise
Capitol Hill inclines strongly to the be-
lief that enough has already been
brought to light regarding the old-age
pension dream to strip it OF any menace
as 1886 political factor. 1t is every.
body's secret that many members Oh
Congress up for reelection 1eareo
Townsendite opposition in November.
Now that the plan has been divested OF
a good deal of its idealism and glamour,
fear of its potency as campaign issue
has diminished almost to the vanishing
point. 1t is intimated that there Will
be no old-age pension third party move
ment this year, but that such scheme
will be revived in earnest" after the
November elections. So, while Senators
and Representatives are breathing more
easily as far as the immediate future Is
concerned, it looks as If Townsendism
would bob up in the sweet bye-and-
bye, to torment them all over again.
It's been said that you can prove
almost anything by statistics, pol1tlcaI
and otherwise. At any rate, one mathe-
maticalIy minded and optimistic Repub-
lican has Just figured out that 1t will
take only 3,530,0o9 disaffected Demo-
cratic voters to bring about Republican
presidential victory this year. He arrives
at that, conclusion on the basis OF the
22,82l ,657 votes cast for Roosevelt In
1882 and the 1871 ,841 which Hoover
received The g. O. p. statistician seems
confident that at least 3,53o,009 people
have changed their minds since 1882"
Plus Republicans who will not vote
Democratic this year, he thinks such
switch would make G. o. p. victory
foregone conclusion.

York State. Through Mr.. Brandeis'
subsequent efforts, similar protective
statutes, as well as law establishing
savings bank life insurance system, were
enacted in the Bay State. The trail

States in 1880, presiding over the court
to which Justice Brandeis had come in

Wendell L. Willkie, prominent South
ern utility magnate, hinted in recent
report to his stockholders that new
efforts to obtain modification of the
T. v. A., or to test it in the courts, may
be made next year. So far, he points
out, Federal power projects in the Ten
neSsee Valley are not beyond the stage
Of construction. so that no substantial
amount Of operating territory has been
lost BY private companies, or any mate
rial amount Of competing power sold by
the Government. Competition will
come next year and in the succeeding
years" Mr.. Willkie says, unless re-
strained by legislation or court decision" :"
The competition threat, he added, has
greatly deprecated security values of
private companies in the affected area.

At last the thrifty Scotchman" legend
has reached the United States Supreme
Court. Recently the Government was
asserting the right to tax as part of the
estate Of one DR.. McFarlan certain prop
erty which not long before his death he
had transferred to trust, of which his
children were beneficiaries. Assistant
Attorney General Robert II. Jackson had
argued that this gift was really diStri-
button Of DR.. McFarlan's estate in expec-
tation Of death and therefore was
taxable. As indicating the probability
that expectation of death was one of the
motives for the gift, he pointed to DR..
McFarlan's age, which was 78. Mr.. JUS
tice McReynolds, who had been thumb
ing through the record observed: We'll,
but didn't the court below find that this
man was a hearty Scotchman?" Mr..
Jackson replied: "Yes, you honor, that's
one OF the reasons the Government is so
certain this gift was made only because
OF the expectation of death"
Robert Peet Skinner, lately dean of the
United States Foreign Service, has ar
rived in Washington to take formal leave
OF the state Department alter rounoly
40 consecutive years of duty abroad. He
recently retired from the ambassadorship
to Turkey, after having been stationed
successfully at blue ribbon consular posts
in France. Germany and Great Britain,
followed by diplomatic missions In
Greece and Latvia. Mr.. Skinner was a
young newspaper editor at MaSsillon,
OHIO, when President Mckinley ap-
pointed him consul at Marseille In 1897.
In 1903 he was sent to Ethiopia to
negotiate our first commercial treaty
with the late Emperor Menelik. Although
in 1890 MI. Skinner had already reached
the retirement age, he was retained on
active duty by executive order of Presi-
dent Hoover for q period expiring in
February, 1885, Ambassador Skinner
was long prominent in the movement
which led to the enactment of the Rogers
law, whereby Uncle Sans foreign serv-
ice was put on o career basis.

Planning for Vacation.

Two young women, riding from one
of the suburbs to work downtown this
morning, were overheard in conyersa-
ton about vacation. II bought a book
about Maine the other day." said one.
Somehow like to know about any place
to which I am going" The other

: Certainly, it will be six or eight weeks
before vacation time viii come for most
Washingtonians. But there is a curious
pleasure as well as much practical en-
cheney In planning ahead intelligently.
Dreams often are more engaging than
the realities about which they center.
More commonly, perhaps, they sharpen

seems, are apt to find q good deal Of

Secret Terrorism.

An amazing development in Michigan
reveals the existence in that State OF
widespread organization Of terrorism
under the cloak of secrecy, reminiscent
of the Ku Klux Klan of evil memory.
A State wide hunt for members has
been instituted, seventeen men having
been already arrested and held in close
confinement. From them it has been
learned that the organization, best
known at present as the BLACK Legion"
has spread through the State until 1t
is estimated that more than 100000 have
been enrolled A semi military form has
been adopted, with uniforms, masks
and symbols of rank, and also with
veritable arsenal of arms. Evidence ap-
pears likewise of a national organiza-
ton, with the country marked on into
divisions, each with its chief offlcer. A
raid upon the home OF the suspected
commander in chief has brought to light
documents that indicate that the fear
of death was held over all members as
a penalty for the disclosure of the
secret purposes and practices of the
order. The Michigan membership is
estimated at possibly $4,000, with no
computation of that in other States. In
Michigan alone, it is believed, the order
is responsible for no less than fifty
deaths. A copy of the application blank
for membership indicates that a re-
ligious motive is advanced as one Of the
purposes of the order.
Just as in the case of the Ku Klux
Klan of recent history, the promoters
of the order appear to have conducted
a profitable business in the supply of
the robes and insignia Of the society.
The robe is priced at seven dollars and
is believed to cost about SIPS. A black
mask completes the outfit, save that
as quickly as possible after initiation
with revolver or shotgun. The in
sigma of membership is a brass cart
ridge, the bestowal of which is accom-
panied by warning that similar bull
let is ready for him If he betrays the
secrets of the order.
While the present activities of search
and arrest are being conducted by the
Michigan State police, the evident inter-
State character of the organization i'm
plies that the Federal authority may be
invoked, to trace the ramifications of
this dangerous enterprise. That there
is political aspect to the scheme is
indicated by fragmentary disclosures in
the course of the examination of those
already in custody, members apparently
being pledged to prevent as far as pos
sible the election or appointment to Of
flee or position of those of certain re-
ligious Affiliations.
In the light of the atrocious record of
its predecessor in the field of secret Or
ganization of terrorism it is plainly evi-
dent that this scheme of coercion and
private punishment must be attacked
upon the broad front and as quickly as
possible ended with the Identification
and punishment Of those who have pro-
noted it. Such crusades of murder are
Wholly un-American in inception, pur-
pose and measures and must be checked.

widespread that the Thomas affair,
coming on the heels of the gross mis-
management of the Ethiopian business,
including League ineptitude in dealing
with Mussolini, has almost fatally un-
dermined the so-called national gov
ernment dominated by the prime min
lister and his topheavy Conservative
majority He may essay to bolster the
ministry by putting Liberal or another
Laborite in Thomas place, but following
the Hoare Laval flasco in the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict and the humiliating
development that British military, naval
and air power was insufficient TO warrant
q firm attitude toward Fascist aggres-
sion, the cabinets situation is palpably
precarious. 1t is weakened still further
by the chagrin of the strong pacifist pro-
League groups over Britain's failure to
preserve Geneva from the supreme
debacle in its history.

John Bull is famous, may muddle

Jealous of their governments reputation
alike for probity and efficiency. The
Tory regime has the votes to ward off q
motion of lack of confidence in the
House of Commons and may contrive to
placate the Labor and Liberal foes who
are thirsty for it's blood, but it will be
a Baldwin government gravely sapped
of public confidence that will carry on
at one of the most critical junctures OF
contemporary European history.
