Feelings About Phrases

(From Common Sense By Seldom C. Menefee) A professor at the University of Washington in Seattle made his students into guinea pigs, and measured their responses to certain political phrases His findings have direct bearing on the question whether or mddleclass people will accept radical ideas if their preiudices are not aroused
 While such scare-words as radical and com munisto may now be less used undercurrent of Sereotyped phrases is of course dlscernlbe at all times With view to assessing the effect of these ipropagandist terms a questonnaire was given to more than 200 college students about three-tourths of them being from the middle classes Several ideas were presented forms full of catch-phraseS the other stripped emotional verbage. Conserva- tves and radicals alike will be interested to see which types of phrases effective and which were not

 deep-rooted prejudice against his consort
 the British prohibition against their return
 would be very hard to maintain
 Thus while Germany may have had political req sons for getting the Duke and Duchess to visit there, it may be as MT Bircha suggests that the reception given the couple in this country may have effect on the further British attitude toward the worlds best known couple and it is more than surmse that the Duke would like to that attitude changed to the point where he and his bride could return to England and hold dignified place in British society without the snubs which been very obvious since their marriage &

WHY THE DUKE AND DUCHESS
 GO VISITING

Within few days the United States will be host to the former King of England and his bride-the Duke and Duchess of Windsor-and already 1t is reported that Washington society is all agog over just how to do the honors.
 But while America or tnao small portion of Americans with whom the Duke and Duchess will actually come in contact, prepare for fitting re- ception interesting to note the effect of their current visit in Germany. Frederick T. Birchal, writing from Berlin to the New York Times hints that Germany had several motives for inviting the royal couple to Maitland but of these the most important was the effort to build up sympathy in England for Germany and it's present setup.
 There are several possible answers to why the German visit MT Brchal writes, and then continues ia For one thing, Britain firmly and positively detests Nazsn. The popular treatment of Chancellor Hitler's would-be imator, Sir Os- wald Mosley is sufficient evidence of this Nazsms racial doctrine which is one of its foundation stones, is enough
 Then German foreign policy distinctly runs counter to British foreign policy. The un- flinching German demand not only for colo nies but for the restoration of Germanys old colonies is alone sufficient cause for antagon- ism
 f, To satisfy it might easily entail the dis ruption of the British Empire. South Africa and Australia have not the slightest intention of surrendering their League of Nations man. dates over the former German territories.
 But not only does British popular sentl- X ment save for vociferous minority, oppose German ambitions in this respect but the government itself-even, it is shrewdly slls- pected the throne itself-dislikes and distrusts the present German regime.
 German diplomacy in Britain has devoted itself whole -heartedly to attempting to over come this distrust, but thus far without much success German diplomacy has never been oversuccessful in Britain.
 
 German diplomacy has never been notable for it's extreme finesse.
 The lionzaton of the Wndsors in this tour with emphasis upon the Dukes humanitarian projects nebuous as these seem to be, would be one method of drawing attention to Nag sms ability to create uneasiness among the British working classes It will certainly help Germany in those circles in Britain, by no means negligible, in which the Duke is regard ed as misunderstood and unappreciated per a sonage. "
 To that extent it is likely to weld Windsor syn1pathizers to the British minority that pre- fers Germany to France and would like to see it's country reach understanding with the Reich despite German Nazism, and let France go where she peases
 AS for the Duke. he has now been for some months inactive and out of the world lime light He misses both activity and the lime light and is glad to return to both provided the activity does not become too strenuous as his German sightseeing at this writing threat ems to be
 Also the Duke is homesck and would like to go back to England
 There is doubtless flavor of this as- praton in the projected American tour II

REFEREE WOLFE
 FAvORS DEGREES
Presides at Hearing for DivOrces; Husbands Are
 Successful Applicants

John Dooling will be granted a divorce from Margaret Dooling and Vincent Daverso will receive a di- vorce from Anne Daverso, if Judge Kenneth Wynne accepts the reports and recommendations filed yester- day in superior court by State Referee Isaac Wolfe, who heard evi- dence in both cases this week.
 Brevity is the chief characteris- tics of the Daverso report. It simply states that the couple wed October 25, 1881, and recommends that a decree be entered
 As 8 contrast, there are three pages to the Dooling report, each page containing glowing reports of incidents of cruelty enacted by the 200 pound wife against her much slighter husband. Both had been married before their wedding May 3, 1921, and the husband had daughter, and the wife had son and daughter. Discrepancies in the treatment of the children of the two were charged. The report says that Mrs. Dooling threw MT. Dooling against the walls; threw 8 carving knife that barely missed him; threw a storm door on him as he slept; and even followed him to the yard of the factory where he works and blackened both his eyes.
