Rescue Crew Goes

MOberly, Mo-, Aug. 21.-(AP)-
A rescue crew "brOke through"
the few remaining feet of debris
which holds four entOmbed min
ers near here at IL o'clock to-
day. Whether they had reached
the imprisoned men or whether
they were alive was not imme-
diately learned.
Arnold Griffith, State mine in
spectOr, said it would be necessary
to force fresh air into the tunnel
before allowing the rescue crews
to enter it. He estimated this
would require another hour.
Griffith designated six men to
make the trip into the tunnel.
"There's only one chance in q
thousand the men are still alive"

eminent insurance as longtime
drought protection to the farmer was
pitched into the forefront of discus
sion today by the return of Secre-
tary Wallace from President Roose-

An outspoken advocate of Federal
crop insurance, Wallace attended the
session at which Louis j. Taber, lead
er of the National Grange, said in
surance as a possible means of off
setting dry weather ravages had been
up for discussion.
Wallace will accompany the Presi-
dent on the official tour of the Mid

was expressed in usually well inform

further studied during the journey.
Wallace has said that Sound crop

Peaceful Attitude of the
President
BY CHARLES p. STEWART


Washington, Aug. 21.-Cables from
Europe indicate that countries In
that part of the world were not overly
pleased with President Roosevelt's re-
cent peace speech at Chautauqua, N.
=
BY implication it was to the gem
eral effect that the unhappy nu-
tons" of the old world seem utter
ly unable to live amicably among
themselves; that we must recognize
this, and, being "singularly blessed"
geographically take every possible
advance precaution to keep out of
their future conflicts.
It naturally isn't pleasant to over
seas peoples to hear the President of
the United States so urgently advis-
ing Uncle Sam to let them "stew in
their own juice" the next time they
fall a-fighting.
LATIN AMERICA DELIGHTED
But if Europeans were considerably
miffed by the presidential remarks,
Latin America was delighted.
The republics south of the Rio
Grande unquestionably have been,
ever since the collapse of the League
of Nations, very much of the same
opinion as the one expressed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Dispatches from capitals like Rio
de Janeiro Montevideo, Buenos Aires

nation @nss
lBy The Associated Press.

Stern orders to keep Spain's civil
war in bounds were flashed, today to
warship bridges of two great powers
Great Britain and Germany.
England, adopting a similar policy
to that of the Reich, served notice
on Madrid that British warships will
fire warning shots, then aim, If they
are fired upon by Spanish vessels.
Only yesterday Germany, enraged
by the reported search of a German
merchant ship by a loyalist Spanish
warship, ordered it's men of war to
answer force with force.
Britain, however, made it clear her
action, announced today, was indepen-
dent of the Reich.
Hours of anxiety, spurred by re-
ports of revolt in Portugal, gave way
to relief when the rumors fell short
of confirmation.
The United States, determined as
ever to remain "scrupulously aloof"
from the chois in Spain, rejected a
Uruguayan proposal for American
peace-making in the dispute.
Premier Mussolini, his troops in a
state of readiness, was reported re-
liably to have directed his ENJOYS to
sound out foreign reaction to aban-
donment of neutrality negotiations in
the Spanish conflict.
II Duce was determined, informed
Observers believe, to permit no strong
Socialist state to arise from the after
math of civil war in Spain.
In Spain itself the bloody war con-
tinues. There was fighting in the
Guadarrama mountains, outside of
Madrid, and on the Bay of Biscay
frontier at San Sebastian and Irun.

Wishful Thinking Politicians Persist In Tallying Chickens
 Before Eggs Are Laid

It is a disputed point how far either of these possibilities ap- plies in these days of rapidly chan ging public opinion and wide spread independent voting.
 Damage of Over Confidence
 The theory of the extravagant political claim is, of course, that it helps the morale of party workers, throws fear into the ranks of the enemy and encourag- es doubters to leap for the band wagon. But does it?
 If party workers took the pre- mature claims of their leaders seriously at all, wouldn't the re- suit be over-confidence, leading to slackening of effort.
 Conversely, it may be disputed whether such claims damage the political opposition. Certainly there have been cases where the reverse was true-Jwhr too much arrogance on one side has anger ed and stimulated the other side, and has aroused a more desperate resistance.
 So far as the bandwagon is con- cerned, the strength of its pull in national politics nowadays is op- en to serious question. Each read CT can calculate for himself how many voters there are among his personal acquaintances who will b impelled on election day en- (Continued on Page Three)

In many parts of the world democracy is in re- treat and dictatorships are a5z vancing-some are trying to sup pant our institutions by others from abroad.

 Long before the nationwide campaign gets well under way the prognosticators are busy in- forming the public who will win It is possible to read daily that Chairman Whosis has announced the glorious and overwhelming triumph of his candidate, or that Senator Whatsit has conducted a survey and finds his state safe for the ticket beyond the pread- venture of a doubt.
 Some political managers even are hauling out the adding ma chimes and counting with great exactitude the chickens from eggs not yet laid.
 The reasons for this strange performance are something of mystery. Perhaps the best ex- planation is that the practice of long range political forecasting persists because no one has stop ped to consider how foolish most of it appears under present day conditions.
 In bygene times, there probably was a psychological advantage in claiming everything in sight. On many occasions, too, it probably was possible to get a rather defi- nite line on the result, well in ad- vance.
