ATHENS, May 1l.-Salonika' stub

and forced a shortage Of bread and
other foodstuffs today.
While four Greek warships sped

Lighting and trafic services were
operating only internationally.
Troops, reinforced by soldiers from
the provinces, broke up a Salonika
strikers meeting and warded of at
tacks by firing blank cartridges.
Rifles Are Used.
Rifles also were used in the suburb
of Toumba to disperse workers
meeting and in another part Of the
city to drive off a crowd Of strikers,
who, armed with clubs, stoned a police
station, smashing the windows.
A wholesale roundup Of labor lead
ers and members of the strike COM
mittee was begun.
Representatives Of the various politi-
cal parties decided to ask the gov
eminent to consider the strikers de-
mands, meanwhile asking the strikers
to 60 back to work.
Salonika stores remained closed all
morning Trade in general was
paralyzed. Some commercial and in
dustrial organizations. however, met
at noon and decided to attempt re-
opening.
Newspapers did not appear, and the
few automobiles and street cars lnS

of soldiers.
Streets Patrolled.,
Up to late this afternoon there
we're no new disorders in Salonika,
but the city continued nervous. Pub
lie meetings were forbidden and heavy
patrols of soldiers. sailors and gen.
darmirie tramped through the streets.
Minor clashes took place in Athens
and Piraeus when police broke up a
number of meetings.
In a cabinet disagreement, Interior
Minister Vryacos resigned. Minister
of Justice Logothetis took over his
portfolio temporarily.
Forty thousand workers had been
on strike more than a week, and the
Greek Labor Federation called "a

Government officials acknowledged
that the situation was grave, but ex-
pressed confidence they could sup
press further disorders.
The strikes began with q walkout

ing higher wages and a fixed pension
system.
Military authorities took command
of Salonika after fierce fighting there
between troops and striking tobacco
workers, and the navy destroyers were
sent to assist the army in keeping
order.
Disorders spread to Piraeus. seaport
of Athens, during the night as tobacco
workers demonstrated and clashed
with police. Ten workers were In.
jured.
Automobile workers called q strike
of protest, but this move failed, at
least in Athens. Tram and railway
workers of Macedonia resumed work
after another 24-hour strike, but the
tobacco workers remained out.
War Minister Gen. John Metaxas
attributed the strikes to purely po-
liticap' motives.

will consider that the plan to bring
about justice in distribution did NOT

Can you imagine the men that really
control legislation at Washington
concerning themselves over the
totalitarian state or the MARKHAM
dialectic? Some of them could not
tell you what those terms mean.
It is no great relief to thoughtful
men to realize that there is no grand
conspiracy. 1t is question whether
it is better to have a government
bent on social revolution or govern
ment that is guided by expediency.
Those familiar with the history of
Rome would probably tell you that
it is better to have government that
knows what it is trying to do, no
matter what.
Revolution. civil war or dictator
ship is seldom planned. Nations usu-
ally drift into these things under a
government that does not know where
it is going but is willing to do any
thing to stay in power. A govern
ment that has no guiding policy
except opportunism is very likely to
ruin the currency, bankrupt the
Treasury and eat out industrial capi-
tai. Driven to desperation by failure,
it may adopt dictatorship methods to
force new projects aimed at reviving
popular favor. Most dangerous Of all,
it may release social forces that un-
consciously recognize the opportunity
such a government presents.
The Townsend plan, the 30-hour
week and the Goldsborough social
credit scheme are the logical and al
most inevitable consequences of three
years of a Government that has
guaranteed to work miracles by
statute for the benefit of wage
earners, farmers, unemployed, silver
owners, debtors, consumers, stock
owners, electricity users, depositors
and security buyers, and in its
frenzied efforts to please all these
groups has not halted at reputation,
imitation, silver subsidies, c. w. A.,
N. r. A., A. A. A. and squandering
the peoples money.
In one of the most remarkable
social prophecies ever made, Lord
Macaulay nearly 80 years ago pre-
dicted that we would come to this
pass. Unhappily he did not tell US
what We could do about 1t.
Evening star., 1936-02-02

JUST what is likely to come from
ex-Gov Alfred E. Smiths in
dictment of the New Deal and
from similar actions by other
eminent Democrats? How will the
situation work out in the Democratic
National Convention next June, in the
ensuing presidential campaign, and
finally in the election next November?
For adequate consideration of that
question it will be helpful to go be-
yond Mr.. Smith and the address by
him which received widespread atten-
ton.
True. ex-Gov. Smiths indictment
of the New Deal. coming from dis
tinguished Democrat, was powerful
and was an important public event.
But Mr.. Smiths attack was no more
forceful than others that have come
from Democrats almost equally emf
nent. And comparison of Mr.. Smith S
position with that of some other Demo-
cratic critics of the New Deal will
throw some light on what We may eX-
pect IN the coming campaign.
Excepting Mr.. Smiths s--though per-
haps we need not except 1.-THE
strongest indictment of the New Deal
that has been made by any one, Demo-
crat or Republican. has come at varl-
Gus times, from Democratic Senator

cities a new economic class OF CASH
wage workers in factories. 1t created
corporations and new capitalist class.
new machine production dependent
on credit and investment. 1t produced
surplus for the workers above the
gross necessities of food, shelter and
reproduction, and out of this surplus
came shorter hours and better wages
and public schools and newspapers.
Political Progress Rapid.
And from this came a political
revolution. Education and llteracy
for common men gave them unity
of thought. cohesion of aim and pride
Of class never known before. With a
slow but irresistible momentum like
glaciers, the working people gained
political power At one place the
masses abolished property qualifica-
tions for voting; at another they
clipped the power of House OF Lords
Here they democratized the courts;
there they divorced Church and State
For a long time the agricultural
interests prevailed in American gov
ernment. Gradually the industrialists
gained control, locally and nationally
In our National Government large
scale industry shared with the farmer
the direction of government. Industry
sent to Congress, usually, able and
minded men, by birth and con-
viction servants of property and the
existing order.
Long after the workers were numer-
ically strong enough to control govern
ment. they continued to let men like
Hanna of Ohio and Aldrich OF Rhode
Island stay in the Senate, keeping the
gates of immigration open to cheap
labor, juggling the tariff at the die
tates of special interests and prevent
ing reform legislation.
But relentlessly the masses gnawed
awav at vested rights, political and
economic. Finally they got the direct
primary. Gradually the complexion
of government changed. A new type
of officeholders appeared-men with
gift for arousing mass preJudlces,
men who spurned the capitalists, the
intellectuals and the newspapers, men
who fought "the interests" And in
mavoralty chairs, in State capitals and
in Congress a new breed appeared
men with queer names and crude
speech and rough manners, elected
bv the masses because they espoused
the common man.
Era of Reckless Legislation.
And with this direct control of elec-
tions bv mass ballot, legislators began
to vote for every bill, good or bad, that
pleased the mass Of voters. Finally
legislators began to introduce bills
some vicious. some excellent, solely
with a view to catching the approval
of the crowd or winning the favor Of
some special bloc OF voters.
We came into an era of Ignorant
legislators and reckless, wasteful, hypo-
critical legislation. 1t has reached its
heyday in our time. Consider the bills
voted for by majority of the Senate
in the last two years, some literally
mad. some utterly evil-bimetallism
the paper-money bonus, the 30-houl
week and many another.
And here we have this country:
tragedy. The masses of the people art
ignorant in economic matters. This i.
no reflection on them. The delicate
and complex interrelationships Of
production, trade, finance and credit
are the most subtle problems in thu
world. No man, however trained, but
sees them as through glass, darkly
