We, the People
Resignation of Dickinson Calls Attention to Weak
Spot in Administration.

firms on which big business depends
for advice and protection.
The death Of Arthur Brisbane re-
moves our best-paid columnist from
the journalistic scene-the man who
raised compression Of his ideas to the
level of a mass-production industry.
1t Is only fair to state that Brisbane's
ideas lent themselves to compression.
No one can be consistently profound
every day for 40 years. And there are
some things-such as sonnets, soap
bubbles and real estate prices-where
compression is the last thing you
want. Yet Brisbane's short-sentence,
monosyllabic "I-see-the- he-cat" style
made journalistic history. 1t junked
the elaborate and scholarly editorial
argument, insisted on a facade Of
fact for its assertions, and addressed
the masses from the front pages.
Yet. aside from It's famous interest
in the strength of the gorilla, it is
impossible to recollect any particular
cause, any great human ideal or hope,
any passionate or crusading convic-
ton, behind the daily drip-drip-drip
Of pithy paragraphs under Arthur
Brisbane's signature.
His column Influenced the style of
q whole generation of newspaper men:
its influence on the thought Of his
age and generation seems to have
been little. From first to last. Bris-
bane was "success-story." He was
spoken Of as "the highest-paid news
paper writer in America" never as the
most brilliant or most influential pub.
licist. His carer made very cub re-
porter believe that he carried in his
typewriter the check book Of finan-
cial independence which symbolized
the ambition Of two whole generations
Of American businessmen. So it Is
that his death is more Of a loss to
the newspaper profession than to the
American people.
British Election Predicted.
David Lloyd Georges Christmas eve
message to the exiled Duke of Windsor
Edward VIII to us) shows how poll
tics will grab the incident Of Edwards
enforced abdication to promote the
purposes of British politicians. Lloyd
George, Englands great wartime
prime minister, was driven from
power by Stanley Baldwin IA years
ago. when the Tories wrecked the
coalition government.
Lloyd George, as representative Of
the nonconformist middle classes of
England and Wales, is one of Eng
lands most adroit opportunists and
his expression of sympathy for Ed
ward suggests that the British "hor-
ror" Of divorce runs no deeper than
did prohibition sentiment in this
country.
More and more. it seems impossible
for the Tory government to avoid
general election in the course Of the
coming year. Only by q radical
change OF policy both at home and
abroad can the British conservatives
allay the popular unrest which
showed itself, at the time Of Edwards
abdication. in the form Of huge, popu-
lar, unorganized demonstrations in
favor Of the man whom Baldwin
bullied and the bishops badgered out
of his lawful kingdom.
