Dor Of cases handled o. shown, the figures
reflect no Utopian condition. For, as
pointed out by Miss M. Alice Hill, the
director. "this decrease was more than
the result Of insufficient funds and stan
than . decrease In need"
A somewhat parallel picture is drawn
in the yearly report for the Home for
Aged and Infirm at Blue Plains. The
National Capitals home provided for
those unable to maintain themselves
operated without deficit, but the report
points out that the money was entirely in
sufhcient for the proper maintenance of
the wards Of the city. Some 5000 was
required for food, heat and other bare
necessities Of maintaining life, leaving
only $4,000 for clothing, medical sup
plies, laundry and other personal and
household expenses.
With philosophy growing in the land
which recognizes that the state is re-
sponsible for the underprivileged, there
is an obvious breakdown in the RESPONSE
ollty assumed by the agencies Of Gov
eminent. In Washington, voiceless in
the matter Of appropriations, only q
small part Of the load actually has been
assumed by the state. The great bulk
OF such care Of the poor has been laid at
the door of generous citizenry operating
through its recognized charities and well
fare agencies.
II government is to assume a major
role In the assistance of the needy, 1t
should abandon the attitude which was
expressed In the old song:
Rattle his bones over the stones:
Hes only pauper whom nobody owns"
If it does not intend to change this
standard, 1t should cease to hinder tho
solicitation Of private charity funds
through heavy taxes for welfare PURPOSES.

The Avalanche.

uc AVdlanC0e.
Czechoslovakias other malcontent
minorities-the Hungarians and the
Poles-have lost no time in proiting
from the sudeten Germans achieve
ment In forcing their liberation from the
hated yoke Of Prague. Thus the ava
lanche Of disintegration of the Czech
state which set In with the partition
fomented by Hitler and sanctioned by
Chamberlain and Daladier, keeps rolling
along. BY the time it runs its devastat-
Ing course. Czechoslovakia, only a week
ago the last remaining "bastion" of de-
mocracy in Central Europe, may have
shrunk to the dimensions OF a mere
geographical term, helpless bark in the
midst of raging Nazi sea.
It was inevitable and indeed logical
that the 100000 Hungarians and 100000
Poles who were handed over to the SOW
ereignty of the Czechoslovak Republic
established at Versailles and Trianon
should now banker for the freedom"
achieved by their fellow malcontents, the
eudeten Germans. No less natural is it
that they should turn their hopeful gaze
to Hitler, who yesterday received Premier
rmredy and Foreign Minister Kanya Of
Hungary and a delegation, on similar
business bent, from Poland. The Hun
garian Premier, on returning to BudA-
pest in the German airliner which Hitler
provided for the Hungarian delegations
trip to Berchtesgaden, declared that
Hungary with all the means at her dis
posal will defend and support the Hun
sarians in Czechoslovakia in their fight
to obtain sef-determination."
There will be . natural disposition to
INK the recent visit Of Admiral Horthy,
Regent Of Hungary, to Berlin and Kiel.
With speedily ensuing events in Czecho-
slovakia. BY an interesting coincidence,
too, the Regent is this week spending
few days with Marshal Goering, No. 2
Nazi, at the German air chiefs hunting
lodge in East Prussia. The Budapest
government is undoubtedly under heavy
popular pressure to bring home for the
HunRarians in Czechoslovakia the same
brand Of bacon on which the Sudeten
Germans are about to feast. II the
Imredy-Kanya cabinet cannot deliver
the goods. 1t faces the certainty OF
drive which might conceivably cost it It's
existence, or lead the Hungarians
straight into the arms Of Hitler the Lib
orator. Less is known as yet about the
plans Of Warsaw to force the cession OF
the Csechs' Polish areas, but there can
be little doubt that Poland will not
lag behind Hungary in pursuit OF the
booty which the sudeten Germans and
their omnipotent protector are about
to bag.
Where the minority avalanche will
stop cannot be foretold. Europe swarms
with minorities. Italy has one number
ing 25o,0oo Germans in the Tyrol. Den
mark, Belgium, Danzg, Lithuania. Po-
land and Hungary themselves, switzer-
land and Holland all possess German
n1inorities Of varying size. They are the
'bleeding frontiers" peopled by "our
oppressed brethren" Of whom Hitler,
Goebbels and Goering periodically rant.
Let 1t be hoped that der Fuehrer will not
conceive a grand passion to "liberate"
Yorkville, In Manhattan, or Cincinnati,
st. Louis or Milwaukee; and that II Duce,
who Is all for self-determination of mi
norities, Will cast no covetous eyes on
Little italy in Fiorello La Guardia's
polyglot baliwick.

Spending Spree Believed
Leading to Disaster.

CONSERVATIVE people, who are mo-

emotion and hero worship, continue to
wonder how much longer the New Deal
spending spree can last without bring
ing disaster to the Nation.
Taxes of every description, which con-
stantly increase as the national debt
broadens, harass both rich and poor
alike. The so-called hidden tax" in
sidiously devours the purse Of the poor

taxation, have paralyzed the purchas-

no doubt, traitor to the government
which he had sworn to uphold-quite
likely. tongue in cheek and with mental
reservations Why? Because it was
forced on him and on several millions
more. As they see it, their allegiance
belonged to the old Austrian Empire.
And now to the Third Reich.
Well, during the World War, it was
the now ruling Czechs who became
traitors to the state which claimed their
attachment, but which they abhorred.
As we read at the time, whole regiments

Masaryk and Benes agitated all over the
world in the cause of an independent
Slavic state. Backed by the victorious
allies they attained their end. Instead
of dead martyrs they became to their

Swedish.Americans
 In Alaska
Unalakleet, Alaska,
 June g. 1888.

June 22. 1858.
 Probably, all Swedish Ameri- cans in Alaska have heard of the great celebrations that this sum- mer are taking place in Delaware and Pennsylvania. They are cele brating the 30Oth anniversary of the coming of the SWedes and the founding of New Sweden and the establishment of European civil ization in the Delaware valley.
 In connection with these cele- brations efforts are being made to raise an Endowment Fund of $750,0OO for the American Swed- ish Historical Museum in Phila- delphia. In this great undertak- ing they want us here in Alaska to have a share. To quote from Headquarters:
 "To assure the permanence of the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia for this and future generations is the high privilege of this generation of citizens of Swedish origin. In this respect it becomes the cen tral factor in this cultural move ment.
 This institution will record in an adequate way what Americans of Swedish descent have accom- plished in the past, and will ac- complish tomorrow, in religion, education, science, art, hospital ization, child-welfare, engineer ing, industry, agriculture, and in all other fields in which they may labor. Also it will preserve the genealogical records of the mem bers of the Swedish American Historical Foundat on. Moreover, ii will properly record the events of the Tercentenary celebration, .an event which will not take place again for another century"
 Any and all Swedish Americans in Alaska that wish to contribute larger or mailer gifts to this En- dowment Fund may send them either directly to the Swedish American Tercentenary Associa- tion, 624 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, or to E. B. Lar sson, Unalak leet, Alaska, appoint ed represen tative for Alaska.
 Receipts will be given.
