ming Of a drive for a Roosevelt
controlled 1910 convention.
Portending the shape of
things to come, 1t is pointed out
that the first to be hit by the
purge" are those calculated to
offer the most opposition on the
Democratic floor to a Roosevelt
Again" ticket. Both Senators
Tydings and George have dem
onstrated their independence
from the party line. Privately
they have denounced the move
ment to make President Roose-
velt the Democratic standard
bearer for a third term.
Carefully dressing his words
with the sanctity Of a liberal
crusader fighting evil and re-
action, the President has asked
the grateful Georgia electorate
to read George from the party
because he did not speak in the
same legislative language as the
Chief Executive would have
him. In reality he sought to rid
himself of the potential menace
that the senior Senator from
Georgia would be to his own
third-term aspirations.
The stage is being set for 40
and Roosevelt wants to be sure
of his ground if "expediency"
forces him into the race. Acting
on his own volition he is in this
venture without the aid or ad-
vice of any of his more expert
enced mentorS-no Farleys,
Howes, Kennedys or Hulls are
standing by him with this as
sault on the citadel Of democ-
racy, the South. The Chief Ex-
ecutive is relying on his own
resources, his own political wis

larity to carry him to victory
single handed.

The following poem by our
old friend, Joe Holman, says it
all so much better than most Of
us are likely to hear it that I
would like very much to see it
in The Washington Times.
The poem tells very briefly
why the Free State Of Maryland
needs Davey Lewis on the Hill
but I must let it speak for
itself. If I were to say anything
further I'd more than likely
need more space than I could
get-and the poem says it bet
ter. c. RYON.
Oh Maryland, my Maryland, a
son who's most sincere
Awaits the call to serve you
in a manner you deserve.
He's true blue DAVEY LEWIS
he's q man who knows no
fear;
Whose forte is fine humility
"a man of iron and nerve,
Who practices his preaching.
and who hustles ev'ry min

Oh Maryland, my Maryland,

Endowed with splendid record

and a man Of honesty.
Best qualified to serve in crisis

FAIR-MINDED AND COU-

splendid creed,
Outspoken in his platform, and
opposed to graft and greed.
Oh Maryland, my Maryland,
there's no pretense about

No hint Of false hypocrisy In
dealings day by day.

there's never cause to doubt

I hadn't said that she wouldn't

then, what would we both have

A grand opportunity for men,

have happened If some other
turn of the road had been taken.
Nothing much o: regrets, tears,
decentralization and the like.
Just q cold, intensive question
naire and from that the other
plot-the one that might have
been your book. It's q right in
teresting game If you can pre-
serve your balance and not fall
into the general error Of making
yourself the hero Of the piece
which in all probability has been
your big mistake all through
life.
A MOTHER angle to the sport,
n and one designed to keep
your wits about you after you
have passed so, is design for the
future-as we used to say in the
Army, taking q point to march
ON. After the half-century mark,
you are keenly aware that there

Neither, in the general run, are
there any more fields Of en-

I suppose in this country there
are hundreds Of thousands Of
men on the edge Of so and
a little bit past so, whose SEEM

ture have been kicked from un-

the Roosevelt depreSsions. I
would prefer to have these two
conditions called just one de-
preston with an entirely syn
thetic prosperity engineered into
its middle-itself q hindrance

clude the thing has been de-
stroyeo and what the heck Is
the use OF starting another?
Instead, they should be as def
mite and as rigid to form

march on-aS an old newspaper

ior. to reprove for his drinking
habits some 20 years ago. He
was then about 40.

Nothing else and nothing more.
Just q bum."
Park Row, New York, is no
longer newspaper row. But, for
intensive, purposeful Bob, it
remained always the Park Row
of the Tribune, the Sun, the
World, the Press, the American
and the Journal. They picked
him up out Of the gutter there.
Just across from city Hall,
three months ago-dead, and q
Park Row bum!
The design can be carried
out just as definitely, in q bet

you need, even in these boxed

rugged purpose as had my
friend Bob.

This admiral is Nicholas Horthy.
Admiral Horthy springs from an old Hungarian
family He admiral in the navy of the old
Austro- Hungarian Empire, and fought in the World
War. Hungary nowadays (see map) has no navy, be-
cause Hungary has seacoast.
Yugoslavia a nation put together by the postwar
treaty makers from Serbia Montenegro and large wads
Of what used to be Austria Hungary, most of
what was Hungarian seacoast Italy got the rest out
Of the postwar peace conferences plus the old Austrian
ports of Trieste and Fume.
So Admiral Horthy is an admiral without navy But
he is not without country Since he did to
death the postwar Hungarian government of Bella Kun,
Horthy has been dictator of Hungary, though he only
calls himself Regent of Hungary.
Horthy paid Adolf Hitler visit last week, in Berlin.
BY all accounts the two dicators had pleasant time
together Hitler showed Horthy that Germany is by
no means without sea power while the
HHLeT HOSt army parade Hitler put on for Horthy
~ uo4L is said to have surpassed anything of
the kind in military history. Among
its features was new secret field gun, which
travels trucks rather than by rail- and apparently is
of 1Oinch caber and capable of throwing shells thirty
miles.
What the visit signifies, in the opinion of most Eu-
ropean observers, is that Hungary is willing to be
absorbed in the German economic orbit just Czecho
sovakia is extremely unwilling. And what that signifies
is that the old German project for "MtelEuropa"-
a Central Europe bound up in economic unit under
German domnatior-is alive 1t was checked
by the Kaiser's mpusveness in 1914; it has been re-
born under Hitler.
Mittel-Europa is a natural We don't see how it
be prevented from coming to pass some time why it
should be.
Suppose the Mexicans the
"MitteL-EUrOpa" Canadians or the Japanese
y A1I7 should beat US in war; and
N ~ one price of the victory should
decree that the United States must be split up into eight
or ten different nations each with tariff walls and all
the other trappings of independent country Our
economic well-being would shrink tremendously, and
most of would dedicate ourselves to reuniting the
country.
Central Europe is economic unit, but political
gsaw puzzle Its people cannot prosper its hatreds
be tapered off, until it is politically less of
whole.
But in all this there threats to the Rome Berlin
axis of which we've been hearing much
Suppose Horthy does join up with Germany, and Ger
many does absorb Czechoslovakia.
HOW AOOUt Will Hitler and Horthy then be as
. D D1:0 affectionate toward their old
~ friend Mussoini as they now
that old friend who has lots of seacoast and pors and
feels that the Mediterranean mare nostrum mean
ing "our sea-?
Or won't Hitler and Horthy suggest to Mussoini
that the time has for Austria and Hungary, or
rather for Greater Germany to have outlets on
the Adriatc an arm of the Mediterranean, of old?
And won't those suggestions become more and more
urgent? We think Mussoini, who has had two of
these love feasts with Hitler, may yet have to fight
Germany for Adriatic supremacy.

nationalized "hate" throughout
his political strategy since enter

engendered within one class the
spirit Of hate against another
class. It is obvious then that
the hate he has created would
reverberate against him.
Hate can never Solidify a ma
