No matter what the enemies of Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York, may say about him they cannot deny that he has, within his store of political knowledge and fund of experience, more practical ideas about representative govern ment than all the professional ad- visers of the new deal put together. Al Smith, as the happy warrior" lost his bid for the presidency for several very practical and somewhat sobering reasons. First, he was tre- mendously handicapped because he is a Catholic. Every practicing poll- tician, from the lowest to the high- est, who knows his public, realized that this had a decided bearing on the outcome of that fateful 1928

will have to be scrapped. Care must be taken, in the transition, that rights and interests created in good faith, for sys- tenn no longer adequate, will not be un- duly hurt.
 The change foreseen will probably take more than the decade allotted for it by the governor, but it will come. It must come, if the economic system we have known, or anything like it, is to survive It seems absurd to think that, with our ability to produce the things needed for modern civilized life, we can't pass them around.

delivered to the austere prestige of Neville Chamberlain. It had a powerful effect on British public opinion. The British now are veering to the idea that it is necessary to stop Germany im- mediately, or else the job of stop ping her will be much harder later.
 Russian Strength
 Russia's game is difficult to de- termine, but reports are that Russian airplanes and arnlored cars are concentrated near the Rumanian border, ready to march through Rumania into Czechoslovakia at the drop off the hat.
 Military reports on the Russian troops in the recent Siberian clash were good. Russian artil- lery and bombing were re- ported perfect by foreign observ- CTS.
 So if Russia moves to help CzechoSIOvakia, world war is in- evitable. France then would come in with her two allies, and Britain would be almost bound to follow.
 No wonder Europe, and par ticularly the British, are worried!
 Merry Go-Round
 
 Representative Wright. Patrnan of Texas, one of the sponsors of the soldiers bonus, is drafting a bill to tax chain stores out of eX- istence. He claims he has enough votes to put the measure through the House and believes that the momentum of such action will carry the legislation through the Senate Uvalde, Texas, home of Vice President Garner, has one policeman, according to Justice Department records Fear that Representative Maury Nav erick might run as an independent apparently has caused his success full primary rival, Paul Kilday, to climb on board the Roosevelt bandwagon. Although he cam paigned as a "yes, but" Adminis- trationite. Kilday has written let ters to Demicratic congressional leaders promising to work for the good" of the Administration if elected Senator William E. Borah is recuperating from his recent illness at a resort in Maine. He wanted to go to Idaho but his doctor barred the trip The failure of the President to mention Senator Pat McCarran while travelling through Neveda in July is being heartily reciprocated by McCarran, himself. He never refers to Roosevelt in his cam paign speeches.

PETROLEUM IN scoTLANDe
(New York Sum


 In the search for petroleum de posits ill the British Isles( which ha; been generally unproductive, some- what encouraging discovery is re- ported from Dalkeith in Midlothian, Scotland, where the prospectors have struck oil at about 1.750 feet and believe that it is present in consid- erable volume in the rock formation There are extensive coal mines in parts of the county and for years oil bearing shale has been worked near West Calder. Elaborate experi- mentS have been carried out under government patronage to obtain oil from coal, but while this is pos sible 1t has not yet reached the stage of practicability.
 The search for domestic sources of petroleum is one phase of the British national defense program With the navy and army, as we'll as industry, dependent on gasoline for motive power, the handicap im- posed by the necessity of importing it is obvious. If the United King dom were, even in a measure, re- lieved from dependence on water borne petrolium products, the trans portation of which not only exposes their carriers to attack on the high seas but engages a great fleet, the resulting advantages would be in- calculable.
 Exploration of what it is hoped will prove to be rich field at Dal- keith is still in progress, and strata below that in which the strike was made are to be tapped. The authori- ties are close-lipped about the de- tails of the well now drilled, for they seek to avoid raising hopes that may not be fulfilled.

The melancholy days are here. At least that's what the youngsters are thinking, if not actually saying. The last week before school began always seemed to pass like the wind. It was usually an excep- tionally fine week, too, so far as weather is concerned. This one seems no eXcep- tion, but we imagine that youngsters of '38 groan and grunt over next Wednes- days opening as did their fathers and mothers before them

A Book a Day
American Publisher Issues "Nazi Primer 'i RY RRJCE CAPTION

You may find the going trifle dreary and the incidental scenery somewhat fantastic, but you can get a good deal of enlightenment out of ''The Nazi Primer" (Harpers: :: $1.75), which is issued in trans lation from the Germany by Har- wood L. Childs, with a commentary by former U. s. Ambassador Will liam E. Dodd.
 This book is the basic course of instruction for the 100000 mem bers of the Hitler Youth organiza- ton. It is the framework, so, to speak, of the official NaI doctrine; it is, furthermore, the distillation of the best Nazi ideas, and not the work of one unimportant fanatic. Here we have the Hitlerian gospel, straight from the feedbox.
 Now the text itself is dull enough, in all conscience. It is composed principally of long, scientific" exposition of the Nordic-race the ory, which is followed by a mass of history. statistics and charts to show how Germany needs, is en- tiled to, and must have more land in Europe and elsewhere.
 It is in the comments by the translator and MT. Dodd that the full significance of all of this is visible. For this dreary primer is nothing less than the foundation stone of an attempt to mold whole peoples mind to one idea.
 As MT. Dodd says: ''The central idea behind it is to make the ris- ing generation worship their chief and get ready to save civiliza ion from the Jews. from Communism. and from democracy--thus prepar- ing the way for 8 Nazlfied world where all freedom of the individual. of education. and of the churches Is to be suppressed"
