families plunged over the brink to dis
aster. But the New Deal has not rescued
them. The forgotten man" of William
Graham Sumner was the taxpayer; the
neglected soul to whom that phrase has
been applied by Franklin D. Roosevelt is
represented by quite a different char
acter-namely, the "underprivileged"
misfit who never has had chance" but
to whom the world nevertheless is al
legged to owe subsidy. Tt has become
matter of politics to preach the basic
doctrines of radicalism--the philosophy
of economic equality without regard to
distinctions of personal merit democracy
without reference to variations of Ca
pacity for useful service to society. The
President, pragmatically realistic, has
summarized his point of view in the
challenge: while it isn't written in the
Constitution, nevertheless, it is the in
herent duty Of the Federal Government
to keep its citizens from starvation" His
faith is predicated on conviction that
general welfare" signifies the sacrifice
OF the HAYES for the preservation and
maintenance of the Have Nots until the
problem of the poverty of one-third Of
the populace has been solved. A least
common denomination principle is his
answer to the riddle He sees the younger
generation marching forward as single
army: You think of the security Tor
yourself and your family that will give
you good health, good food, good educa-
ton, good working conditions and the
opportunity for normal recreation and
occasional travel. Your advancement,
you hope, is along broad highway on
which thousands of your fellow men
and women are advancing with you"
AND Mr.. Roosevelt may be correct in
his vision. 1t may be that kind of
regimented opportunity that the ma
jority of Americans desire. But the
President must not be surprised if
small minority is loyal to the old rule
of Self-suppOrt and -sufficiency. The
middle classes prospered for centuries by
obedience to that precept, and it is hard
for them to relinquish it without a
struggle.

For War in the Air.

PfopnecieS that another great war,
should such calamity again overtake
mankind, will be mainly fought and
probably won in the air, find grim sup
port in figures just published by the
National Aeronautic Association at
Washington, disclosing the gigantic air
armaments pillng up across the Atlantic.
The secretary of the association, who re-
Gently returned from abroad states that
flrst-hand information indicates there
are now twenty-five thousand five hun
dred military airplanes in commission
in Europe and that 1887 production may
we'll reach the startling total of twenty
thousand" That would bring the num-
ber of machines available by the end of
this year to more than forty-five thou
sand
The N. A, A. official estimates that
Soviet Russia possesses seven thousand,
five hundred fighting planes; Germany,
live thousand, five hundred; Italy, five
thousand; France, four thousand, and
Great Britain, three thousand, five hun
dred. These impressive statistics leave
no doubt that general stats have come
to pin strong faith on the aerial weapon.
unquestionably they reckon that the
country which strikes with it most
quickly and forcibly-if possible, in sur
prise attack-will obtain immense ad-
vantage in that impending international
conflict, the outbreak of which so many
authorities profess to be merely matter
OF time, and sooner, rather than later.
1t is terrifying to contemplate the de-
struction of life and property that will
be spread by this super modern mode of
warfare, especially among defenseless
civilian communities.
The Aeronautic Association survey de-
picts German plans, which are under the
supervision of General Goering, Hitlers
second in command as the most dra-
matte example of bid for air SUI
premacy. The Nazis are promoting their
program in three irections-immediat
production, research and public educa-
ton in all matters aerial, including
training in defense mechanisms. Italy
is actuated by similar zeal and the
French are about to follow suit, Great
Britains vast rearmament program pro-
Vides several hundred million dollars for
aircraft development this year and Tor
comprehensive protective measures,
among them, the novel expedient of
'caging' London in a gigantic steel net,
to prevent break through of enemy
planes for bombing or gas attacks.
Within the past year the world has
had practical evidence of the effective
ness of aircraft in war. Italy owed her
relatively quick conquest of Ethiopia
primarily to interchangeable mastery of
the sky. The Spanish rebels were en-
abled to carry their campaign to the
gates Of Madrid largely on account of
numerically superior air equipment, plus
the services of German and Italian pilots,
Soviet Russia depends on air force to
hold Japan at bay in the Far East. The
japanese themselves are devoting in
creasing attention to aviation, realizing
that enemy strength aloft might more
than neutralize the island empires power
afeld and af1oat.

The Middle Classes.

1t is fashionable to poke fun at the
middle classes. The rich and the poor
alike are agreed in their contempt for
that portion of the population which is
neither wealthy nor poverty-stricken.
Perhaps it is natural that it should be so.
The plight of the individual who seeks
to be independent of both the magnates
and the mob is comparable with that of
pedestrian who walks the center of the
road-he gets hit by new Rolls Royces
and ancient flivvers Unfortunately.
Just now especially the bourgeoisie is
in peril of its existence. 1t has been
frightfully depleted by war and revolu-
tion and their inevitable aftermath of
disease and economic dislocation. The
middle classes simply were not organized
to survive. Also, they were handicapped
by their sympathies-their patriotism,
their altruism, their instructive Wiling
ness to compromise with militant oppo-
sition. They gave their sons and their
money disproportionately. And, despite
their losses, they endeavored to keep up
appearances"-an expensive expression
of their pride. When thousands of men
dicants went on relief" without a mo-
ments hesitation, it was their pref
erence to suffer unnoticed. Gradually,
they achieved the imperative adjust
ment, quietly submitted to an enforced
lowering OF their standard of living, were
driven down to another social level, be-
came white collar" laborers under con-
ditions which were hostile to them even
in that miserable role.
OF course, in America the tempo OF the
tragedy was SLOW Not until 1929 did the
drama OF degradation really begin to
move with speed. The middle classes in
Europe, however, dragged their con-
temporaries in the United States to the
edge Of the pit. At the beginning Of the
so-called Hoover depression. hundreds of

Why Not Withdraw 1t?

Regardless of the slim majority of
proxy votes which enabled the House
District Committee to report the race
track bill, it is not believed that Con-
gress in the face of the stiff opposition
already expressed from the community,
will go out of its way to foist the race
track nuisance on the District of Co.
lumhia. Chairman Norton can carry
the fight to the floor on the next District
day and suffer probable defeat by the
House. The wiser course, however, would
be to recall the bill at the meeting of the
committee tomorrow and, if hearings are
not held, at least to write a report sup
plying the District and members of
Congress with information, now lacking,
as to why it should be passed. No writ
ten report on the bill has been made.
Who is behind the billP The bill ap-
parently receives its chief impetus from
the natural desires of a successful race
track promoter to extend his operations
to the District. But why race track
promoters ambitions for more con-
venient contact with the pocketbooks Of
suckers in the District should force an
unwanted bill through the District Com
mittee has not been adequately ex-
planned.
Who is against the bill? The term

notation, is conveniently used by the

was added to this tonic" composed of

Then the plants were grown in pots of
pure sand to which these mixtures were
added. If deprived of any of the infini-
teslmal quantities of these chemicals
the plant would die.
The plant is fed one drop at time
through feeding tube. The solution
drips into the sand, the quantity varying
from one to two quarts every "a hours,
and is absorbed by the roots of the plant.
Using the same method of culture, but
varying the ingredients to suit the par
ticular needs of each plant, DR.. Trelease
also has cultivated beans, green corn,
tomatoes, larkspurs, petunias, snap
dragons, phlox, heiotrope sweet peas,

maximum yield of 400 bushels in soil.

bills sponsors to classify the opponents.
But as the reform elements" include
the churches, the citizens groups and
many others who have little concern
with the moral aspects of legalized
gambling, such elements represent men,
bers of the community whose views de-
serve respectful consideration. They are
against the bill and their opposition
would be expressed if hearing on the
bill is permitted.
In connection with the race track bill,
Chairman Norton has associated herself
with fight capable of developing bitter,
recriminatory ramifications. That Is
regretted by many of her friends. If
determined to continue the fight, how
ever, her friends would at least prefer
to see her better equipped with ammuni-
ton. AS Mrs. Norton probably realizes,
most of the ammunition is on the other
side.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELE.

1.-THE Egoist," by George Meredith,
has been called by a competent critic
lone of the chief glories of English
fiction"
Yet how many persons today have
read it?
There were many others which this
man wrote, and which made big splash
in their day-"The Ordeal of Richard
Feverel," "Rhoda Fleming" Beau
champs Career" Diana of the Cross
Ways"-hoW many have you read?
Time and life move on, and with them
comes new crop of novelist, assiduous
persons letting readers live vicariously
the lives of other persons, enter into
their mental lives, react with them to
lifes problems.
Browsing among the older novelists
is supreme sport for the reading tenn
perament, and one which may be recon-
mended particularly to all persons who
love the novel.
In Pearl Bucks Fighting Angel" we
get glimpse into the Older days, but not
SO long ago, at that, when some persons
held novels to be less than nothing at
all, in fact positive force toward evil.
Time, which changes all things, has
given most persons a more wholesome
attitude toward fiction, especially as
eXemphfied in what often is called the
English novel"
Any novel translated we'll into English
becomes at least in a sense, an English
novel. Vizeteliy did that with Emile
Zola's books, and while they remain
wholly French, they still take on some
thing OF the good restraint which the
translator imposed upon them simply
by using his judgment as to what he
put in and left out.
X
In a secondhand book store the other
day, we looked for some of Jean Aus
tens novels, but found only one, where
as on an obscure shelf in the dark there
were three or four stories by Jean Austin.
Although outwardly there is only the
difference between an "e" and an Il" in
the spelling of their last name, these
two authOrs-authoress they said in
the old days-are not close together any
longer.
Jean Austen, the Englishwoman is a
faVorlte Of the world around.
The English novelist, Somerset
Maugham in describing his new book,
Theatre has gone out of his way to
pay tribute to Jean Austen, although
from reading his hard-btten stories you
might think the gentle Jane the last
writer he would read
Jean Austln-she who spelled her last
name with an 'i" was a favorite many
years ago in Boston circles, but now no
one speaks of her books. 1t is only chance
that reveals them in their dusty rest on
obscure shelves.
&
If book is One of the chief glories
of English fiction" no doubt all persons
who honestly value the novel, ought to
read it, and, if they have not, ought to
make point to look it up.
With the publicity which besets mod
ern novels. many readers mind is in
perpetual sort OF mental merry-go-
round, as he attempts what is called
keeping up with the new books.
1t will be helpful, however, while he
is performing these intellectual gymnas-
tics, to 60 backward so years, a hundred
years, and read some of the old ones.
