Time May Prove Fallacy
OF Today's Liberal Ideas

That is the story of the self-ap-
pointed liberals. To them has been
given the right-in their own minds,
at least-to guide the destinies Of
the nation. I assume that if they
regard me at all they classify me
as coming from across the railroad
tracks, question my mental balance.
But shall continue to study their
methods, commend what is good,
criticize that which is obviously I'M
sound. More important, I shall
continue to cling to the doctrine Of
the ages that human nature is GO
ing to be changed by some Power
that is considerably above the level
of human intelligence; I shall hold
to a conviction that real progress
comes by that method and not from
the crackpots who look upon the hui
man race as fresh litter of guinea
pigs.
But, anyway, we have liberalism
defined at last by a man who is
qualified to define it, and we find
that it differs from what liberalism
formerly meant. It was only few
generations ago that liberalism
meant restricting, not increasing,
the powers of government. Neither
Mr.. Roosevelt's definition nor his
record in Office comedies with the
former understanding of the word.
It seems to me likely, therefore,
that we will 60 on for quite some
years with this quarrel, and that
may be-and this is just hunch-
time viii prove the fallacy of some
of the so-called liberal doctrines Of
this day.

Ideas Subject to Quick
Change; Try Something Else

Then, too, their ideas are subject
to such quick change that few of
them are retained very long. They
are cast aside for something else
that has more glamor. A case in
point is an incident of recent his
tory. After New Dealer Senator
Pope had been licked for the Idaho
Democratic nomination for senator
by the youthful Worth Clark, there
was talk among the New Dealers
about having Senator Pope seek re-
election independently; it was pro-
posed and discussed with Mr..
Roosevelt whether Senator Pope
should embrace the faith of the La
Follette's progressive ticket in Ida
no. 1t was found, however, that
the LaFollettes had a candidate for
sthe senate on their ticket. To the
suggestion that he withdraw and let
Senator Pope be their candidate, the
LaFollette spokesman said: no sir
ee! Senator Pope isn't progressive
enough for us-and Senator Pope
had campaigned as a 100 per cent
New Dealer.

congress any day when the session

arguing how far reform must be
carried; what liberalism" means.
And, in downtown Washington,
where the really important head
men of liberalism are to be found,
they are constantly Tuning and fret
ting at each other. Instances are on
record where two rabid liberals ac-
tually have sought to get each other
discredited in the eyes of the Presi-
dent because of their differences
over what liberalism means.
The only thing about which they
seem to agree is that anyone who
insists on sanity in governmental
thinking-anyone who takes heed of
lessons of experiences and tradi-
tons of the past-must, of neces-
sity be tory, a bloodsucker, a
trampler of the poor, an obstruc-
zionist, a "republicrat," or some
other animal in human form who is
overcome with personal greed. On
that point, the liberals that we see
in the government these days pre-
sent a united front.

Thus, there is a split, with those
who subscribe to the New Deal the
DRY of liberalism on the one hand
and the Democrats who adhere to
the hundred-year-old principles Of
the Democratic party on the other.
There will be some Republicans
drawn into the new alignment, but
they will be fewer than the wing
formed from Democrats. The Re-
publicans who will 60 over to any
new alignment will be of the type Of
Harold Ickes, now secretary Of the
interior, Senator Norris of Nebraska
(who once wore a Republican labeD
and others of the here-today-gone-
tomorrow category.
And further, as to what will hap
pen: my observation is that these
so-called liberal movements don't
last very long. They crack up on
the very principles which are sup
posed to be their foundation stones.
Always, there are too many 'lead-
ers." Every liberal" who cata-
logues himself as such, shouts about
it and produces plans for saving the
world wherever anybody will listen,
conceives himself to be a leader.
Someway, the ideas and ideals of
these liberal leaders always differ.

that his plans must be adopted

Mistrial Ruling in Hines Case

White House

Fortnight ago, U. s. citizens were
jerked into consciousness Of wars
proximity. At Bordeaux, Ambassa-
dor William S. Bullitt repeatedly as
serted: "The United States and
France are indefectively united in
war as in peace" In England, Am
bassador Joseph p. Kennedy spoke
his mind about dictators. Mean
while, back home, Franklin Roose-
welt and Secretary of State Cordell
Hull were periodically mentioning
Americas unacceptable interest in
any 1893 foreign conflict.
What John Public deduced was
that his government had joined
European democracy's drive to
''stop Hitler" (See FOREICN)
But after the U. S. press had harped
on this idea for week, the Presi-
dent administered a verbal thrash
ing. At Hyde Park press con-
ference, he charged these interpre-
tations of Roosevelt-Hun Bullitt
statements were 100 per cent
wrong; that there was political at
tempt to misinterpret the record;
that Ambassador Bullitt never said
the u. S. and France were "inde-
fectively united"
Back at its Bordeaux correspond
ent for confirmation went Associat-
ed Press. Next day came an adj
mission that Associated Press was
wrong, that Franklin Roosevelt was
right. Said the correspondent:
There was a misinterpretation of
the ambassador words.
What was Americas foreign pol
icy? For an answer, the President
referred reporters to the Roosevelt
Hull speeches on the subject. A
few hours later came a typical Hull
pronouncement on the subject, is
sued by way of accepting an invita-
ton to the eighth international con-
ference of American states.
Said Foreign Policy Maker Hull:
''The nations of the world are faced
with the issue of determining wheth-
er relations shall be characterized
by international anarchy or by the
principles of fair play, justice and
order under the law. No nation
and no government can avoid the
issue. Neither can any nation avoid
participation in determining
which course will prevail"
0 Nonstop from Hyde Park, the
President sped to his son, James,
bedded of a gastric ulcer at Roches-
ter's Mayo clinic. Already there
were Eleanor Roosevelt and James
wife, Betsy. Accompanying the
President was son Elliott. Shortly
after Mr.. Roosevelt arrived, James
went into the operating room, came
out two hours later minus his ulcer.

H's the Independent Voter
 WhO Elects q. s. Presidents
By MILO M. THOMPSON Chief of the Washington Bureau of The Associated Press Guest cOlumnist for Preston
 GrOver)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l. - II John M. Hamilton, the Republican national chairman, was wrought up over what he called the strange argument of President Roosevelt" !" head of the Democratic party, in behalf of political morality at the primaries, what of the typical prac- tical politicians of either party who are not party leaders?
 Their job, as they will tell you and have told us, is not to deter mine rights and wrongs but to get things done politically. To them, the high morality involved lies in the rightness of objectives. not methods.
 Theirs is the task of influencing public opinion and getting out the vote. They try to make news, to stir up talk, to get influential per sons to speak effectively, to make things happen for political effect, to turn public indecision to de- cision and, last but not least, to herd the voters to the polls.

Motion of William Paul, dis barred Juneau attorney, for an ex- tension of time in which to meet the provisions of the disbarment order handed down on July 31, 1937, was denied by Federal Judge George F. Alexander this afternoon in Dis trict Court.

sANCTITY OF THE BOOTH

They argue that by whatever means they accomplish their ends, all is made moral by the fact that when the voter is alone in the vot- ing booth, he can do what he pleases without let, hindrance or anybody's knowledge.
 But the President questioned that. He said at Hyde Park that the situation is probably not moral if the voter happens to be Repub- lican voter in a Democratic voting booth
 This leaves the practical politi- clan wondering what Republican voter is and what Democratic voter is and what Democratic booth may be. He knows that there are many states in which voter is permitted to choose his party freely for the purpose of a current election. In such state, the voter gets either a joint ballot, both bal lots or whatever ballot he asks for. He names his party at the polling place or in the booth and may make up his mind at the last min- ute.
 And there is no Democratic booth, no Republican booth, but com mon booth used by partisans of any color. Even in states which re- quire party registration, where vot- CTS are checked against the party lists when they appear to vote, it
