Modern Holy Var Threatens
Orer Domination of Palestine
BY Joseph W.. La Bine-

suming nations are this year being
offered more grain than they want
by dozen wheat-producing nations.
To compete on the low-priced ex-
port market, to meanwhile give u.
S. farmers fair price, Secretary
Wallace realized that subsidy would
be necessary.
From Washington went invitations
to grain dealers for purchase of
wheat that the Federal Surplus
Commodities corporation will sell
abroad. Subsidy payments to pro-
ducers, expected to be Is or 20 cents
per bushel, will come from S25, ,000,-
900 now available from customs re-
ceipts. To avoid throat-cutting Sec
retary Wallace sought an export
agreement with Canada, which also
has large surpluses. Meanwhile
came word of heavy exports from
Poland and Argentina, giving prom
ise Of a badly glutted world market.

shunted to sidetracks. At each stop
workers refused to touch it, employ
ers retaliating by closing shop, dis
charging workers and abrogating
contracts. After five days of wan
dering, this four wheeled Nemesis
had caused 1000 workers to lose
their jobs, had closed 153 plants.
o Fortnight ago, President William
Green of the American Federation
Of Labor talked with Franklin
Roosevelt about the Wagner labor
relations act. Outcome was a mutu-
al agreement to amend it, providing
more equitable consideration for
both employer and employee. If
this decision pleased William Green.
it displeased c. l. O's John L. Lew
is, who was comforted a few days
later by re-appointment Of Donald
Wakefield Smith to the National La
Dor Relations board.
Thus satisfied, labor's two war
ring factions began wooing each 9TH
er. David Dubinsky announced his
International Ladies Garment Work
ers, now on the fence, would try
once more to bring c. l. O., A. F.
of L., together. William Green an
nounced his willingness to puff
peace. pipe. But overnight these ges-
lures were nullified.
At Cincinnati, c. 1. O.'s United
Mine Workers and Kentucky's Har-
lAn County Coal Operators associa-
ton signed an agreement whereby
Harlan county's mines will become
a closed shop, whereby c. l. O.'s
civil charges against mine owners
will be dropped. Last month these
same operators were prosecuted by
the federal government for violation
of the Wagner act, the trial ending
in hung jury.
Since c. l. O.'s new pact freezes
out A. F. of LIS Progressive Mine
Workers of America, William Green
found cause to fire blast not only
at John Lewis, but NRLB and the
justice department as well. His
charges: ID that the pact forces
A. F. of L. miners to join c. l. Q
or get out; (2) that the justice de-
partment is playing ball with John
Lewis by dropping its criminal
charges against Harlan county op-
orators; 90 that the pact conspires
to violate the Wagner act.

Muffs Match Hdts
In Latest Trend

Muffs that match hats are among
the latest fads to tempt women seek
ing the unusual in costume accents.
Many different decorative fabrics
such as matelasse crepe, embroid-
cred wool and velvets are being
used for these as are the numerous
fur fabrics. The hats are of the
turban type, always high and often
draped. The muffs are variously
shaped, depending upon the fabric.
Fur materials, for example, are cut
very simple, while the decorative
materials are draped, twisted and
boW-trimmed.

Pat on Back for McAdoo,
Face Slap for O'COnnor

Then, on to the Middle West and
the Far West, the pat on the back
for Senator McAdoo, who has oppo-
sition for the Democratic senatorial
nomination in California; and, next,
in Georgia where Mr.. Roosevelt ut
tered the now famous God bless,
you, Walter-but you're no liberaH
to Senator George. to be followed
by a direct endorsement of Law
renee Camp for the senatorial NOM
ination against Mr.. George. Later,
Mr.. Roosevelt gave a vicious politi-
cal slap in the face to Rep. John
O'Connor, in New York, and at
tackled Senator Tydings in Maryland
by saying that Representative Da-
vey Lewis ought to have the Demo
cratic nomination.
In addition to these direct inter-
ferences in state primaries, Mr..
Roosevelts subordinates-men like
Relief Administrator Hopkins and
Secretary Ickes-horned into prima-
ries in Iowa, Oregon, Idaho and else
where. They were well licked in
Iowa and Idaho, and it was the re-
suit in the latter state that has
brought up the second stage of the
controversy.
Idaho's Senator Pope used to say
that if any constituent wanted to
know his position on a given ques-
ton, it was necessary only to in
quire whether the President was for
or against it. Apparently, the vot-
ers in Idaho did not like that; they
preferred a senator to vote their
views rather than one who consist
emily voted the Presidents view.
Anyway, they nominated Represent
ative Clark, in their Democratic pri-
mary. He had something in ex-
cess of $500 more votes than Mr..
Pope.
The licking administered to Sen
ator Pope did not taste well to the
President or the coterie of New Deal
advisors. Senator Pope obviously
did not like it either, and he did the
childish thing of emitting loud and
noxious squawk that the nomination
was taken from him by Republi-
cans. He said they went into the
Democratic primary and gave Rep
resentative Clark their votes in suf-
fcient number to override the will
of a majority Of the Democrats in
the state. Senator Pope went to
Hyde Park, N. Y, to weep out his
story on the shoulders of Mr.. Roose-
velt, but it has not been made clear
whether it was the shoulders of the
Presto ant of the United States or Of

Is RooseUelt's Forgettery
Working Veil These DAYS?

Further, / am wondering whether
Mr.. Roosevelt's forgettery works so
well that he fails to recall his ap-
peal in 1882 and again in 1886 for
Republicans to follow him, elect him
as the savior of the country. 1t
seems to me if it is sauce for the
goose, the old gander can eat the
same food.
Further, there is bit of logic
about the whole thing that ought to
be examined. Take the state of
Georgia, for example, where the.
Democratic nomination means elec-
ton. A Republican in Georgia would
be sunk without a trace, as far as
selection of someone to represent
him in congress is concerned, if he
wanted to have his real choice re-
corded. His only course, if he pre-
ferred one Democratic candidate to
another, would be to enter the Dem
ocratic primary and vote for one Of
those candidates. Assume that the
Republican voter lives in Idaho.
If that voter felt that neither
of the candidates for the Republican
nomination for the senate measured
up to his ideas, why should he not
be allowed to vote in the Democratic
primary in order to express his
preference? It might well be that
Republican voter in Idaho would
feel that the Democratic nominee
had a better chance of being elected
in November than did the Republi-
can nominee. If he felt that way, it
appears to me that he would be
showing good sense, common horse
sense to express his preference on
that side of the fence. l believe Mr..
Roosevelt's record would look very
much better at this point if he had
extended his congratulations to Rep
resentative Clark in Idaho, and
promised him the support of he
Democratic national committee ip
the forthcoming election, as was
done by National Democratic Chair
man Farley. Surely, that woulo
have been sportsmanship and the
attitude of a good loser.
1t may be, however-and this is
an implication from the indications
of the day-that Mr.. Roosevelt is
trying deliberately to force re.
alignment Of voters throughout the
country. He may be seeking to drive
radicals into his camp-in case o:
a third term urge-and the conserv
ativss into another camp.

Last November, Capt. George E.
T. Eyston came from England to
Utah's Bonneville salt flats, there
drove an automobile 311.42 miles
per hour. Fortnight ago, Captain
Eyston returned with his huge new
Thunderbolt to race once more
While American Automobile associ-
alton officials checked him with an
electric eye, Racer Eyston tipped
through the 13-mile northward run,
hitting nearly $50 m. p. h. on the
checked mile. But the electric eye
failed on his southwark run, SO
Thunderbolt set no record. Three
days later Captain Eyston tried
again with more luck. This time
his black racer, whose tires must
be changed after each run. whose
thick aluminium cowlings are pune
tured by the terrific spray Of salt,
averaged 345.49 m. p. b. for his
round trip.

WASHINGTON.-It has been a
matter of frequent reference among
observers how President Roose-
velt's supporters or subordinates, or
spokesmen for him, have caught the
brunt of opposition criticism. Mr..
Roosevelt personally has been un-
der the direct fire of his enemies
on only two occasions. He played
his political cards so that, when
some plan blew up, it was some
subordinate or supporter whose
neck was found out too far. The
President, of course, found himself
as the target when he proposed
packing the Supreme court with six
additional justices of his own choos-
ing and when he sought reorganiza-
ton of the government, but, general
ly speaking, the Roosevelt prestige
has avoided damage, until now.
Which brings US to the bitter
controversy oUer presidential in
reference in state primaries, and
the second stage-Mr. .Rooseuelfs
declaration that it tUaS a viOIa-
ton Of public morality for Re-
publicanS to enter a Democratic
primary. This controUery is the
most heated and has the broad
est implications OF any OF the
three in ,0hich the storm CEN
tered about Mr.. Rooseuelfs o1Un
head. 1t is likely to be the most
tdr-reaching in its result. The
Roosevelt prestige is bound to
be damaged ,ohether he ,0ins or
loses tChen the score finally is
tOtaled, and, as far as can be
seen notU, he ,UiI not be able to
avOid it.
l remember having written, when
the President made his cross-coun-
try trip in the dual capacity of Pres
ident and head of the Democratic
party, that it appeared difficult to
disassociate the two capacities. 1
predicted at that time, two months
ago, that there were germs of trou-
BILE in such an attempt. 1t was not
long before the germs were grow
ing. Mr.. Roosevelt's pat on the
back for Senator Bulkley of Ohio,
and his bold command to the Demo-
cratic voters of Kentucky to send
Sen. Dear Alben" Barkley back to
the senate brought shower of ripe
verbal eggs onto the head of either
the President or the head Of the
Democratic party. did not know
which personality was naming the
tavorite Democratic candidate in the
primaries then, nor do l yet know.
From all of the information from
those states since, gather that the
voters in the primaries did not know
whether they were voting to sup
port the President of the United
States or the head of the Democrat
ic party.

Tiny Palestine is far smaller than
the average American state, yet its
oity Of Jerusalem is a religious
shrine for Christians, Jews, Arabs.
From a Biblical start, Christianity
spread over the earth, largely de-
serting its birthplace. Hebrews also
left, driven by the hated Arabs who
later fell under Turkeys yoke. Not
until the World war was this yoke
thrown off with Great Britain's aid.
If Arabs expected Great Britain to
hand them Palestine on silver
platter, Lord Balfour outfoxed them.
In November, 1917, the foresighted
foreign secretary saw Russia per-
scouting the Jews, possibly foresaw
e coming European revolution
against them. So Palestine was IA
vored as a national home for the
wandering Jew and in 1923 Great
Britain was granted mandate over
the land.
Had Lord Balfour's foresight in
cluded Jew-hating Adolf Hitler, he
might have been less anxious to
guide Palestine's destiny. Since
1923, Holy Land Jews have jumped

shot was new series of riots, start
ing early last July and continuing
unbroken ever since Last week, as
harried British troops swept up aft

wondered how peace could ever
come back to the Holy Land.
Jews recall that when Moses led
their ancestors into the promised

Takes Important Second
Step in Controversy

Step in Controversy
And after that meeting and when
the tears were wiped away so there
would be no shifting, Mr. Roosevelt
took the important second step In
the controversy. He denounced the
Republicans "a having violated pub
lie morals" by voting for Mr.. Clark
in Democratic primary, although
II the ballots were secret as the law
requires l have been unable to fig
ure out how either Mr. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Pope know that it was the Re
publlcans and not the Democrats
who brought about Mr.. Pope's de-
feat. Anyway, Mr.. Roosevelt-ei-
ther as President of the United
States or as head of the Democratic
party-condemned such terrible
things as Republican votes in q
Democratic primary. Such a course
of action, the President or the head
OF the Democratic party said, con-
Stituted an attempt to destroy the
direct primary system. 1t appar-
emily did not matter to the Presi-
dent or the head of the Democratic
party that Mr.. Clark had cam
paigned as Democrat while Sena-
tor Pope was sounding off as 100
per cent New Dealer.
] have been wondering, since the
Hyde Park condemnation of the Re
publicans, how Mr. Roosevelt's posi-
tion in the two phases of his course
can be reconciled. 1t never has
seemed to me to be so terrible for
the President or the head of the
Democratic party Cor the head Of
the Republican party if the Presi-
dent be Republican, to state his
views about candidates. Probably,
the presidential Office ought not to
be used that way, but can not get
so excited about it as some writer's
and some newspapers and some pol
iticians have done. l am inclined
to regard such action as the purest
of politics and politics is a game and
the voters have to recognize that it
is game. There has been a lot
Of meaningless gushing going on
about Mr. Roosevelt's course that
just fails to impress me at all.
But, on the other hand, there is
an old, old quotation: Consistency,
thou art a jewel. In remembering
and applying that thought, it ap-
pears to me that Mr.. Roosevelt has
gone off the deep end of the pool
without an inflated rubber tube for
an arm rest. Indeed, isn't it rath-
er silly thing, an utterly stupid piece
Of business. to claim the right to-
interfere on his own part and tell
the common, ordinary garden varie-
ty of voter that he can not take a
position because he once played on
the other team?

sounded strange. But soon Sir
Johns boldness was explained. Said
he:
you will have read the striking
speech made the other day by Mr..
Cordell Hull, American secretary of
state, when he laid stress on
the necessity for friendly CO.
operation. What he said, and what
President Roosevelt said few days
later in Canada, must waken a re-
sponsive echo in many British
hearts"
Since Franklin Roosevelt had
promised to help Canada in the
event Of invasion, Great Britain was
clearly relying on far-fetched hope
of U. S. support. Two days later. it
was plain the bluff had worked.
Backing Britain came France, Rus
sia, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia, each
warning Germany to keep its hands
off Czechoslovakia.

What they lack at Washington, D.
c., Republicans made up during a
weekend Of blistering heat and

Their host was Homer E. Capehart,
