aide entered the room. stepped
to his side and whispered. The
president rose and started to
shake hands hurriedly with his
guests. They were astonished
but the signal could not be ig-
nored and so they departed.
All the automobiles Of the dip
lomatS pursued the same way
back to town. And as they
passed through the square they
saw, still futilely kicking at
space, the dying bodies Of the
Turkish parliamentary opposi'
ton! Ataturk had timed his
show nicely for the benefit Of
certain international intriguers.
WHEN ENGLAND, through
w the League of Nations, de-
cided to impose sanctions against
Italy because Of its war on
Abyssinia, those lesser members
of the League who had hoped to
do business with Mussolini
raised a great hullabaloo. So,
in order to get their signatures,
England had to agree to under
write estimated business losses
with actual cash and acceptance
of goods which 1t was figured
Italy would have bought.
When Ataturk turned in his
estimate there was tackled on
the bill, over and above every
thing, an item of three million
dollars for "armS and ammuni-
ton"
What the hell does this
mean?" asked the British for
eign office, in effect.

A District Man for a

in so far as Westinghouse concenedhe has done
good job and has proved himself credit to his native

Men ana women srous of ruling ourselves.
Certainly there lack of likely persons for the job
right here in city, We could name dozen
offhand and study would undoubtedly produce for
midabe list of men and women who would make effi-
cient commissioners. Is there any valid reason why
Washingtonian should not be appointed? 1t would be
step in the right direction if this done and would
prove to us that the Administration is inclined to be-
leve in rights for all the people and not just Of

Please, Mr. Farley, pass over Oklahoma or Minnesota

FOLLOWER of Ford

I would rather listen to a man
like Henry Ford, who lifted him
self by his own bootstraps, than
listen to a man who was born
with a silver spoon in his mouth
and is now trying to tell people
how to get something for moth
ing.
Ford's theory is: "Act, don't
talk" Roosevelt's theory seems
to be: Talk, talk, and then talk
some more" The only way to
better your life is through your
individual efforts. All the acting
talents of Roosevelt will never
pull us out Of this mess.

Fears BloOdshed

It seems to the writer that
any person who is gifted with
vision and q discerning mind
can see among our people an
irreconcilable and uncompromis-
ing conflict of social, political,
and economic ideas that mean
disaster to our country in the
near future, because they can be
settled only by the shedding of
blood, and the complete triumph
of one or the other by the ex-
termination practically Of the
minority side, just as has hap
pened in Russia, and is now in
progress in Germany and in
Spain.
These opposing ideas are rep
resented on the one hand by
the New Dealers, who are actu-
ated by a blind fanaticiSm that
partakes of the religious fervor
Of the medieval ages, and on
the other hand by the anti-New
Dealers who, while more intelli-
gent, are just as bitter, and be-
tween whom and the New Deal
erS there is a reciprocal hatred
that makes any compromise i'm
possible.
We see families divided. Son
against father, brothers and sis
tiers bitterly antagonistic in their
views on the issues Of the day,
and friendships Of years being
daily disrupted. AS a result our
population is fast cryStallizing
into two opposing camps. There
are those, unfortunately in the
minority, who love our institu-
tons, and are determined to
fight for their preservation.
These are the people of in

they will not submit to being
robbed of their possessions by
the agencies Of government for
the benefit of the worthless

OUCH hell-raiser was AtaturK
~ that the victorious treaty
makers didn't dare to monkey
with him as they did with the
other countries. He was in fact
the first of the dictatorS to run
a bluff on the rest of Europe.
After he had whipped Greece,
the Allies threw away their first
treaty with Turkey, that OF
SevreS, and substituted the
Peace Of Lausanne. This gave
Eastern Thrace and Smyrna
back to the Turks, returned the
control Of ConStantinople and
demilitarized the Greco Bull
garian.Turco frontier. When
Ataturk came home with the
document he declared himself
president.

condition to interfere with the

mighty man may lurch, spill his
drink, insult a foreign diplomat
or get fresh with a lady, but the
crafty old brain is always work
ing 100 per cent.
Alone of all the bloody oppor-
tunists who have. climbed to
power in Europe over the past
10 years, Ataturk has done his
country great good. He has COM
pletely westernized Turkey. He
has abolished the fez as the ma
tional headgear, he has sepa-
rated Church and State, though
permitting complete religious
freedom, and he has abolished
the office Of Caliph as head Of
Mohammedanism.
He has changed the MoSlem
calender to the Gregorian. He
has substituted the Latin alpha
bet for the Arabic. He has in
troduced the metric system Of
weights and measures. He has
freed women from sexual serf-
dom, ordered the veil discarded

years ago an assassin attempted
