Mr.. "a" is impressed with the need Of
school facilities and asks the Commis-
sioners to remember the request Of his

Informal King.

King Edward VIII hates pomp and
circumstance. Everybody knows that.
But recently it has pleased His Majesty
to prove it. And the world has enjoyed
the spectacle, not resented it extrava-
gantly.
For example, the former Prince Of
Wales chose Balkan waters for his vaca-
ton cruise and took with him in his
yacht group of friends who are de-
scribed in London as amusing COM
moners." He also practiced democracy
Of bearing in the presence Of curious
alien multitudes-vastly disconcerting to
the punditorial aristocracy of England,
which believes that sovereign should
'look the part" But even more i'm
portant, he openly talked politics" with
strangers, declaring among other opin-
ions: There will be no war. The
British people do not want one and the
world generally had enough unpleasant
ness during the last war"
But the Kings selection of Dali
matian shirt was just as truly news
worthy in the estimation Of the interna-
tional press as were his views on peace
Perhaps the story which created the
most impressive sensation was that
which dealt with his invention Of "the
worlds worst cocktail" mixtire more

Free Competition.

Governor Landon's analysis of the
New Deal and what 1t has done and Is
doing to free competition in the United
States, delivered in Maine Saturday
night, was both searching and logical.
Under the New Deal and its now de-
funct N. R. A. a system. of free COM
petition could not exist. And further,
under the N. r. A. monopolies were
fostered and prices could be fixed in a
manner that gave the great units OF
industry all the advantage. Once the
industry of the country had developed
to the point of a comparatively few
great monopolies, controlling food,
clothing and other essentials, the next
step would be Government ownership
of these monopolies. That, indeed, is
the milk in the coconut of planned
economy, as advocated by the Tugwells
and other prime movers in the New
Deal.
The supporters of the New Deal plan
ned economy have term which they
apply to free competition. 1t is laissez
faire, which means 'let the people do
or make what they wish" The pur-
pose of the New Dealers is to have the
people do and make what the Govern
ment DEGREES is for their good. That is
not freedom, in the American sense. 1t
is not new system. 1t has been tried
in many countries in the past and at
present is having its day in Russia under
one form of government and in Ger
many and in Italy under another.
Governor Landon is alive to the fact
that the same power Of fixing prices
and production. left in the hands of
private monopolies. is an evil compar-
able to and possibly even greater than
the evil of government owned rnonop-
olies, though there is little to choose
between the two. He gave in his Maine
address a complete and earnest promise
to make war on monopoly If he becomes
President of the United States. Private
monopoly has gone too far in this coun-
try, both before the New Deal and since.
Although the N. r. A. has been killed,
by unanimous decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, the spirit
back of the N. R. A. is still alive Presi-
dent Roosevelt has declared that, de-
spite the set backs which have been given
his New Deal by the courts, there will
be no retreat. The American people
should fully understand in this cam
paign that victory for the New Dealers
means a continuation of Government
domination Of their activities and even
tual Government ownership of industry.
Certainly Governor Landon made it very
clear.

And it may be that the King himself
would explode" If he could not on oc-
casion escape from the regimen Of his
position. Not any less human than other
men, he needs relaxation now and again.
So long as he does not neglect impera-
tive business, 1t may be supposed that
no serious consequences will accrue from
his infrequent retreats from the deadly
dull monotony Of reigning, not ruling,
over his empire. His penchant for HARM
less informalities probably is his safety

Disaster in Norway.

The sympathy Of America goes out
to Norway today following receipt Of
news Of the greatest disaster in the
recent history of the Scandinavian
peninsula. seventy-four persons, it is
reported, persisted when a million tons
of rock fell from Ravnefjeld Mountain
into Lake Loen and a resultant tidal
wave rushed through Boedal Valley.
Two villages and numerous isolated
farms were swept by the flood-a wall of
water three hundred feet high roaring
toward the sea.
But the cataclysm cannot be said to
have been unexpected. Indeed, strangers
visiting the scene in years gone by re-
peatedly testified to their wonderment
that the high overhanging ledges should
have remained in place so long and that
hardihood to be willing to dwell in the
shadow of an inevitable avalanche.
Their amazement, it may be remarked,
was justified by their knowledge that

warning Of the danger.
Yet it might have been answered that
no spot on earth is safe. There Is some
risk everywhere. If it is not the uni
versal law of gravitation that threatens,
it is earthquakes, cyclones, drought or
some other natural equivalent of the
Sword of Damocles that constitutes the
hazard. The particular jeopardy Of the
average citizen of the United States Is
that of motor traffic. Probably yester-
days death toll from automobile acci-
dents in America was close to seventy
four. There were six casualties in a
single Michigan grade-crossing crash.
For the philosopher the whole world
wide spectacle is saddening. Everywhere,
he knows, the Relentless Reaper is at
work. But everywhere also, as he like
wise understands, life, too, is striving to
survive and prosper. The advantage,
providentially, is with the latter always.

Of taxes by somebody. It Is unreasonable
to demand extensive improvements with
out admitting a willingness to pay for
them. But, under the present circum-
stances, the repetition of this question at
the Commissioners budget hearing is not
as pointed as it might seem to be, and
for two reasons:
First, the citizens petitioning for
neighborhood improvements are not in
a position to Judge whether the specific
improvements requested would mean in
creased taxes, or whether the money
for such improvements would be forth
coming through elimination Of something
else. They do not have the power to
express their opinions of wise budgeting
as other Americans do-through the bal
lot. And they do not know what amount
of money the Budget Bureau or Congress
will permit to be requested or appro-
priated for the District. Neither do
the Commissioners, for that matter.
Second, the question now is not how
or how much to soak the people OF the
District with new taxes, but how much
money Congress will appropriate in
recognition of the national obligation to
its Capital City. Let that question be
decided, then give the people OF the
District the right to express themselves
on whether they wish to be taxed and
how they wish to be taxed to finance
specific improvements, and the Oft
repeated question will assume significant
meaning. Right now it is rather pointless.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRAcEWELL.

II we look over his remarks, or her
remarks (for there is really no sex In
this), we find that nothing said Is very
drastic.
Usually 1t is just quick catching up
Of a point which the rest conveniently
overlook.
Analysis Of the point shows, in most
cases, we believe, that actually there is
nothing In 1t to hurt any one.
What causes the friction resulting Is
simply that polite subterfuge, whatever
1t may be, has been unmasked.
The mask is pulled down, just for o
second, and in the resulting scramble
stepped on.
Usually are. as a matter Of fact, and
that is where the trouble comes in.
If people would only stop being sur
priSed at the unusual remark, there
would never be any trouble over them.
Usually every one looks amazed. there
is CONSERVATION in at least one face,
there is general look of Whats now?"
To live up to this look. the easiest thing
usual.

the usual one, too, the one whose remark
has brought out the unusual vein of
honest ore.
His ore must be showed back at once.
This whole thing is a word game, re-
member, as much as knock, knock" and
the like.
If any one doubts the old saying, that
words are things. let him engage in this
game, and he will find out that words
can be like physical blows, when used by
the masters.
But where the original words might be
left unassailed, the addition of more
words in opposition brings about a new
deal, conflict.
Conflict. even in words, is battle.
How word conflict leads on to physical
battle is extremely we'll known. What
commonly is overlooked is that it is the
counter-attac which makes the battle,
whether martial or marital.
Our entire Screed today, then, Is a
plea to people everywhere not to talk

Let the caustic sayer have his say,
and resent him not.
Maybe he is having lot of fun out of
it, clicking his mind against an idea.
Try to see his idea, and If he is making
1t come of well. join with him in the
fun.
Keep those old emotions well in hand.
They are necessary in running life, but
ought not to be evoked unnecessarily.
Do not believe that disagreement with
you is some sort of sin, and that the
only expiation is instant violent dis
agreement
The caustic speaker, so-called, who
likes to dig some one in the mental ribs
now and then, ought to be subject for
admiration.
If silence is golden, this is the one
great place to prove it.
Let the fellow have his fling, and be-
grudge him not, for there may be a
laugh and a chuckle in his worst wit, if
you could see it the way he sees it.
Try to see it his way, before springing
to the reproof unnecessary.
For back talk" is unnecessary, in most
cases. and only results in warfare, of
which there is already too much.
