In times Of stress men are known
to seek solace in religion. But even
religions solace becomes difficult
when men are prosecuted for their
faith and race. That is the plight
now facing all German opponents
of Nazidom's socialistic theology,
which dictates that the state must
come first, that religion must take
what is left. Thus, in less than a
weeks time, German Jews were
prosecuted numerically and driven
back to medieval ghetto style of hv-
ing, while German Catholics also
found themselves on the defensive.

year persecution of Jews, outright
hostility did not come until last

If Argentina could prove the agri-
culture department was assisting
Mr.. Theis in selling his wheat to
Brazil, Buenos Aires would consider
it equivalent to an international in
cident." Mr.. Hull issued an immedi-
ate denial of official u. S. implica-
ton in the scheme.
So did Mr.. Wallace, but he could
not refrain from worrying publicly
about the U. S. agricultural prob
lem. Since future international in
cidents will almost inevitably re-
suit if the U. S. tries to sell any
more wheat abroad, Mr.. Wallace
must now concentrate on solving the
problem domestically. The recent
elections rebuffed his 1888 farm bill
but he promises to defend it before
the next congress. He has even in
vited newly-elected congressman to
offer their suggestions. Meanwhile,
little more is heard of the two-price
plan for domestic dumping, under
which low-income families would
buy surplus commodities at special
rates.

Must Become Statesmen,
Quit Their Dernagoguery

And, next, if the Republican lead
ership has good sense, it will dis
play it's best brand. 1t will tell its
followers to become statesmen and
quit their demagoguery. The OPP
portunity awaits them to be con-
structive and if they fail to put for
ward sound proposals, they will
have justified the country in refus-
ing to give them control as was
done in 1895.
It is proper to say, of course,
that the Republicans will not be in
control of either the senate or the
house. That means, they can have
no management of legislative ma
chinery. That machinery, which is
all-important in carrying forward
political party policies, remains in
the hands of the New Deal. But
the absence of control for the Re-
publicans can not destroy the re-
sponsibility- which they have as
suned in electing as many men,
bers of the congress as is recorded.
They dare not dodge that response
bility.
Just ahead, therefore, lies the ne
cessity for Mr.. Roosevelt to realize
that there is a new public temper
which does not like extremes, and
for Chairman John Hamilton of the
Republican national committee, and
Republican Leader McNary in the
senate, and Republican Leader Mar
tin in the house, there is the oppor-
tunity to fight for reasonable legis-
lation all of the way. These three
Republican leaders must have
something to offer besides criticism
of the New Deal. !

Defense

When Financier Bernard Raruch
first proposed a huge United States
rearmament program after the Eu-
ropean war scare, one of his talking
points was that private enterprise
would be revitalized. Official Wash
ington agrees, as shown by rumors
that the 1917 war industries board
may be re-established to coordinate
a "rearmament spending program"
by private industry. The govern
ment expects $5,000,00 900 to be
spent for rehabilitation and expan-
sion Of railroads, public utilities,
chemicals, automotive and aircraft
industries. It also expects "mobil-
ization'' of Americas raw mate
rails, solving such problems as that
of manganese, an essential element
in steel production which now comes
largely from Cuba because United
States deposits are not developed.

Vote Discloses Revolt by
So-CalIed Middle Class

The United States has been gov
erned by an expression of the will
of the majority. It is sound. 1t is
the basis of republic. There has
been much criticism of President
Roosevelt on the basis Of his DOM
nation of government. It has been
said that he is the government be-
cause he has had such complete
control that even congress moved
this way or that at his direction, in
the manner Of puppets.
IF those Characterization be true,
then it appears to me logical to
conclude that the late election was
something of vote for government
by law and not by an individual or
group of individuals. BY the same
reasoning, it is logical assumption
that the vote disclosed revolt by
the great middle class of the Ameri-
can people-ths group which lives
neither by the power Of organization
and the strike threat, nor by the

WASHINGTON. = The period Of
distorted claims by the winners and
the equally distorted alibis of the
losers seems to be about over. We
have heard all of the tunult and the
shouting of an election time. The
total vote has been tabulated, and
it shows greater number-83 new
ones-of Republicans in the house
of representatives and eight new Re-
publican senator's. Some IA more
states have Republican governors
ready to take over from the Demo-
Gratis they have displaced. There
were what may be called important
numerical gains for the Republican
party label.
But while the total vote has been
tabulated and served as the basis
for the claims of the winners and
the alibis of the losers, those fig
ures will be forgotten soon. The
thing that is important is the result.
We will be measuring the results for
months to come.
It is quite unimportant, in my
mind, to appraise what the swing of
a few votes may have meant. 1t
is, however, mighty important to
note that there were hard and close
fights for scores of candidates, in
this 1888 election. There were hard
and close fights in the whole of New
England; there were bitter strug-
giles in New York, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and else
where. They were fought out largely
on major issues because, generally
speaking, local questions did not
provide the fundamental issue in the
states that are so important politi-
cally as those mentioned.
What does it mean? What is the
portent? Other writer's and analysts
have given and are giving their
views. I guess there is no prohibit
ton against mine.
firmly believe the votes cast in
the 1888 election were the express
sion of an opposition to further ex-
Fermentation by government in the
field of unsound theories; the ex-
preston was against further use Of
the American people as guinea pigs,
and it was definitely for middle-of-
the-road national policy. 1t was,
therefore, a showing, proof, of
the necessity for our traditional two
party system of government, and
surely, to that extent, the nation
and national life benefited by the
poll taken on November 8, 1888.

Great Britain is badly in need of
statesmen to keep her far-fung en-
pire intact, and no better salesman
could be found than the duke of
Windsor. Now exiled in Paris with
his wife, the former Wallis Warfield,
England's abdicated king may soon
return to England's good graces.
That conciliatory gestures are in the
air has been shown by the visit to
Paris of the duke and duchess Of
Gloucester, Windsor's brother. It
is considered likely that Edward and
his wife will spend Christmas day in
London, probably returning later to
take up permanent residence at Fort
Belvidere.
