Sudetenland Not
Solid For Hitler

REICHENBERG, Dec. 5. (UP)
Residents of the Sudetenland, an
neXed by Germany two months
ago under the Munich four-power
dismemberment of Czechoslovakia,
Sunday voted more than SO per
cent acknowledgement of "Our
Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler, the liber-
ator of the Sudetenland" in a
Reichstag election.
(In Berlin it was announced Of
ficially that provisional complete
returns from the Sudetenland
gave 2,152,256 eyes" votes to 26,-
497 "no" votes with 5,312 ballots
invalid. The announcement said
2,184,065 votes We're cast COM
pared to an eligible list of 2.211,-
895 electors.)
The "no' votes IN the 81 dis
tricts first tabulated were given as
6,092. This number of negative
votes-votes against Hitler be-
cause his name headed the ballot
list of candidates for 80 Sudeten-
land seats in the new Reichstag-
aroused considerable comment.
In the Austrian plebiscite there
were only 11,807 "no" votes out
of a total vote of 4,460,7S8 while

vote less than one-fourth the size

Unalaska Studied

In North Pacific

cific Triangle, Aid

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. (UP)
Naval officials who are seeking
a north Pacific base to strength
en- the west coasts of the United
States and Canada against at
tack, are studying the strategic
poentialities of Unalaska, a for
midable island Of the Aleutian
chain, it was learned last night.
A base at Unalaska, rocky
Gibraltar which overlooks the
northern Pacific route to Kam-
chatka and Japan, would COM
plete a powerful defense triangle
stretching from Unalaska on the
north to San Diego, Calf, on the
south and west into the Pacific
at Hawaii.
Navy officials emphasized that
the study is in the preliminary
stage but that several other loca-
tlonS are under consideration.
They said that congress would be
asked to approve whatever site
Is chosen. Details will be guarded
closely, meantime, to forestall
possible counter moves by other
powers.
The navy already has estab-
lished a weather observatory and
wireless center at Unalaska.

NEW YORK.-We are beginning
y to observe phenomena in the
general economic situation not
unlike those which appeared il
The latter part of 1886.
First of all, production has been
increasing with reasonable speed,
employment has been increasing.
This occurred all through 1886,
striking finally a sort of accelerat-
ing spark which sent it into high.
This has not occurred now by any
means. Whether it will or not is
beside the point for the moment.
The moment this 1886 condition
began to manifest itself the cry
went up that We were enjoying
real recovery and with this went
demand for tapering off of gov
ernment expenditures. The ad-
ministration responded to this de-
mand and thereafter all through
the latter half of 1886 and the
early part Of 1887 expenditures
were cut.
Meantime prices rose, thus add
ing to the Oppressive influences
and 1887 moved swiftly into tail
spin of impressive proportions.
Now as production has increased
and as employment has expanded
the same talk about recovery has
spread around and the same Ge-
mand for curtailing government
expenditures has begun. Again
the President responds and, if we
are to believe the stories from
Washington, expenditures for re-
lief are to be cut drastically.
Of course there is the feeling
that these reductions are to be
accompanied by increased ex-
penditures for ornaments. But
the money for the armaments is
not yet available and when it is il

will take some time to put it effec-
lively TO work.
Now if this curtailment OF gov
ernncnt expenditures takes place

into t,lc came kind of tail spin
we saw in 1897. It may, indeed,
|. be more serious. For now there is
a Gerrezsive influence which did
nct exist before. Then the gov
ernment was raising funds by
loans from the banks. This was
100 per cent infationary. But now
the government is getting its funds
partly from the banks but partly
from loans of tax money.
Loans of tax money" may
sound strange. 1t is strange. 1t is
one of the strangest Of public
finance oddities. The government
imposes a heavy tax on pay rolls
and employers for social security.
It then "borrows" this tax money
and issues bonds for it. Seemingly
it is spending. money obtained by
loans but it is actually spending
money obtained by taxes. This
will run into many hundreds of
millions this year and even more
next year.
The time to think about the
coming economic effects of gov
ernment action is now, before that
action is taken, and when the
effects lie in the future. The time
to perceive that the plan to cut
quickly the extent of WPA funds
is going to send us into reverse
movement is now. If the govern
ment wants to listen to business
and reduce relief payments then
it must not merely reduce relief
payments but must accompany
this action with a whole series OF
other arrangements which will
tend to adjust the national econ.

NO TRUSTEE FOR RIGHTS

Congressman Martin Dies, the man who is the
chairman of the moving spirit of the present con-
gressonal investigation of unAmerican activities,
says ne wouldn't trust any congress with his rights
to be free man.
That is something, indeed, which no one of US
should be willing to trust to any other or
group of men.
We have only to look across the Atlantic to see
the disastrous results of that sort of trust. The
Italian people trusted those rights to Mussoni, and
the Germans put their trust in Hitler.
There are no such things as rights and freedom
in Italy or Germany today. .... ..'... ..t..

EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN DIG
TATORS ARE DIFFERENT
by BRUCE CATION

One thing that has been bOthering some
Americans in connection with this pro-
posed New World cooperation in defense
of democracy is the perfectly obvious fact
that the democracy of so many Latln-Amer-
- lean nations is far from being pure and un-
To defiled. .. ....r
The conference in Peru may be produc-
tive of great things. Yet there is no use
ignoring the fact that the nations there
represented only few can be classed as
genuine democracieS, as the term is under
stood north of the Rio Grande. If united
,; front against the dictatorS is formed, there
=. will be plenty of dictators in it.
Yet there is no need for anyone to be
" dismayed by this fact. For if dictatorship
in itself is an old story in this hemisphere,
the particular kind of dictatorship now
looming large on the European horizon is
something new. A moments comparison
will make the distinction clear.
go, As a general thing the banana repub-
,. lie" dictatorship is highly individualized
" show. Only rarely is it based on any ideol-
ogy or theory more elaborate than a SIM
pie desire for power. 1t may be exceed
singly represSive-Some of the Latin dicta-
;, tors had nothing to learn from the Nazis
about the technique of silencing dissidents
but by its very nature it is ephemeral,
and it does not force the ideals, the mental
processes and the intellectual outlook of
its people into rigid mold. 1t is way of
government but not way of life. 1t does
not try to remake society according to a
fixed pattern.
All of which is just the reverse of the
EurOpean-model dictatorship which is to
pc one of the big concerns of the Lima con-
feTeeS.
For the frightening thing about such a
thing as Nazism is that while it vests all
the power of government in one man, it
goes far beyond the old-time idea of SIM
pie autocracy, and sets up an ideal to
which all men are forced to conform 1t is
net enough that the citizen simply refrain
rom criticizing the dictator; he must think
as the dictator wants him to think, he is
permitted to have only such ideas as suit
the dictator, the smallest details of his pri-
vate life are regulated for him.
So that it is not merely political freedom
which dies under this system The funda-
mental right of the human being to think
his own thoughts and worship according
to the dictates of his own conscience, to
pick his friends, to train his children, and
to keep himself aware of what is going on
IN the world - this broad right, which is
fundamental to anything that can pass un
der the name of civilization, ceases to exist
That is why there is nothing in the least
out OF the way in the spectacle of various
Latin-American dictators sitting down tt
discuss ways of checking the spread ot
European totalitarianism
"a Free democratic society can survive
these impromptu one-man relationships. 1
cannot survive spread of the European
dictatorship ideal. If we are to understand
the significance of the Lima conference, w,
must be clear about the difference between
the two. ~

The policy of American kid
napers and threatening harm to
their victims unless such-and-such
is done, seems to have been
caught hold Of by Hitler. He is
threatening to do more things to
the Jews in Germany unless the
rest of the world does this and
that. We may see Hitler work
out a definite schedule showing
exactly what he will do to the
Jews in Germany for each act of
the outside world that he does
not like.
