HITLER SENDS OUT
A FACE SAVER

Adolf Hitler, caught in the squeeze
when Italy signed mutual alliance
treaty with Great Britain, now has de-
clared that his nation has no intention
of assuming any pretense of control
over Germans living in Italy. More inn
portant, Mussolini has pledged to sup
port Hitler in his attempt to gain con-
troll over Germans in Czechoslovakia-
but only so long as Hitler's attempts are
peaceful.
The sum and substance of the two de-
velopments are nil.
Hitler had to give Muss0iihi his hands
off assurance in order to gain Musso-
lini's assurance of help-and the Ital-
ian's words mean absolutely nothing ex-
cept inasmuch as they save Herr Hitler's
face at home.
France has guaranteed by treaty to
protect the Czechs against armed inva-
sion. Great Britain has approved mill
tary alliance with France. Italy is tied
up with Great Britain. Hitler is out in
the cold.

THE KYNETTE SIDESHOW
IN LOS ANGELES

1t is hard to follow the news stories
of the Kynette bombing trial in Los An
geles without reaching the conclusion
that something is definitely wrong with
the Los Angeles police department. Hard
on the heels of this observation must fol-
low, also, the reflection that the trial
of Capt. Kynette and others on charge
of bombing Harry Raymond vice inves-
tigator, is being conducted as more of
sideshow than a trial.
Missing records, threats to witnesses
and refusal of police officers to testify
against Kynette and his fellow defen-
dants makes one wonder if cleanup Of
the Los Angeles police situation is not
in order.
Sideshow tactics of both defense and
prosecution attorneys in turn lead to
the belief that the legal profession in
Los Angeles would not be greatly harmed
by a return to severe dignity.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH
THIS SORT OF PLANNING

More than once that famous I'VE plan
ned it that way" statement has been
blown back into the administrations
face, but the severest blow of all came
last week when Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins estimated that more
than three billion dollars will be needed
for relief in the United States during
1899 to care for more than three mil
lion persons.
Something is wrong with the sort of
planning that keeps relief rolls at status
quo when recovery is supposed to be a
fact.
1t was symbolic that the same day that
brought news of the huge relief require
ments also brought news of congress
sional action looking toward passage of
the controversial wage-hour bill.
Sooner or later the administration
should realize that the biggest factor
in maintaining huge relief list has been
its unceasing effort to bring business and
industry under complete government
control. The uncertainty of a business
world which does not know what to eX-
pect next has kept recovery from actual
ly becoming fact.
The nation will spend more money
next year on relief than it has spent
since the New Deal came into being.
That fact alone damns the Planned Econ
omy program as nothing else could.

QUESTIONS OF TASTE

NAlDurquefque JOURNAL
Regardless of who is right and who is
wrong in the Coogan-Bernstein finan-
cial dispute, or how the case is finally
decided, conventional taste has been of
Tended in several instances.
The airing of any family dispute is
unpleasant, and it is tragic when the
quarrel is between a mother and her son.
Jackie Coogans mother may be ens
tirely within her legal rights. There may
also be facts not known to the public
to Justify, in some degree, her position.
Nevertheless, there were few mothers
who were not shocked by the interview
she gave out, to be published over the
country, that she did not intend to give
her son any money, that he was not en-
titled to it, and that he had been told
that before
A parent might have reason for that
attitude, but few would make it a mat
ter for public display from one end of
the country to the other
Good taste was shocked further when
the Bernsteins hired a press agent to
present their side of the case. The lob
OF a press agent is to get publicity.

il. Men born in the coal resloii'
evpecting to spend their lives at
this work. have solved the problem.
I know personally men who have
done it.
Years ago. I went to Brooklyn
to interview one Of the most famous
preachers in the world. This man
preached each Sunday to about
five million people over the air.
His name was S. Parkes Cadman.
He had to go to work IN coal
mine at the age of eleven, and ne
worked in the mine for ten years.
He knew there was but one way
to get out of that coal mine, TO
read and talk and study hlmself
out of it. SO during the ten years
he spent underground. he read every
book he could beg or borrow in the
neighboring village-more than a
thousand volumes. At the end on
ten years he was sufficiently edu-
Gated to pass his college entrance
examinations with honors, and to
win a scholarship at Richmond
College in London. Could anything
in the world stop a personality like
that?
John L. Lewis. labor leader, was
born in Lucas, Iowa and spent his
early days as a miner. He, too.
read, studied and practiced public
speaking at every opportunity. John
L. Lewis knew that there was just
one person interested enough in
him to get him out of the mines,
and that was himself. He had a
natural gift for public speaking.
He made the most of it. AT the
age of 90. he became the legislative
agent for the United Mine Workers
of America.
If you turn on your radio this
evening you can hear Russ Nor
gans orchestra. the music of a
coal miner. His father was a coal
miner before him. and Russ went
down" at the age Of fourteen--hls
salary. a dollar and ten cents a
day.
The elevator that lifted him out
Of the coal mine was a trombone
about the last thing one would
expect to put him on top. He
loved music and during the noon
hour he entertained the other min
ers 300 feet under the ground.
One day as he was footing away
when he was supposed to be dig
ging coal, the superintendent came
up. Yes, you've guessed it!
He looked everywhere for an
other job But one couldn't dig
coal with a trombone. Finally he
landed himself a job in an or
chestra footing his faithful from
bone. By and by he had an or
chestra of his own. He and his
trombone are doing pretty well now
the two of them make $1,000 a
week.
Yes Mr.. Cantor, coal miner can
come out OF the ground.

SUCH FRIENDS
OF DEMOCRACY
(HaVerhiII (MaSS.) J GaZette]

(Haverhill (MaSs.) GaZette)
Some of the most eloquent advocates
of democracy must be counted among de
mocracy's worst enemies. They are the
advocates who would defend democracy
by violent attack on Fascism.
An American group, defined in the
press as made up of Is prominent scien-
lists, lately has given a demonstration
of hostility TO democracy while represent
ing itself as supporting democracy. This
group called ON President Roosevelt to
lift the embargo against export of arms
and munitions to Spain so that the Span
ish Reds will be better able TO resist the
Spanish Whites.
The scientists in this group adhere
to the familiar falacy that the war in
Spain is between Fascism and democracy
and identify the Reds as representative
of democracy despite the fact that most
of their outside support comes from that
arch-enemy of democracy, Soviet Russia.
But the alliance of Spanish and Rus
sian Reds is not the reason why we
identify this group of scientists as enc
mics of democracy. We are thinking
that the policy they urge is one directed
toward pitting the forces of democracy
against the forces of Fascism on the
field of battle. We are thinking that
nothing is so destructive of democracy
as war We are thinking that true friends
of democracy will be striving continually
to keep peace, not to encourage war.

Bruce Cation Says
- New BUILDINGS, New Windows on Life

We use a lot of big words to de-
cribe the reforms we are trying to
make in our society. 1t is too easy
to forget the human values which
those big words conceal.
Take "slum clearance" for in
stance. Those words call to mind
a vision of architects, draughts-
men, engineers and contractors,
they conjure up a picture of work
men tearing down old houses and
putting new ones in their places;
but they don't ordinarily, tell us
anything about the change that
takes place in the lives of human
beings.
A good idea of what slum clear
ance really means was provided
in New York the other day, when
committee of the city council
called witnesses in a conference
about public housing projects. 1t
heard the usual eXpertS-archi
tects, engineers financiers and so
on-and then it called Mrs. Anna
Schier to tell about the human
side of the picture.
Mrs. Schier had lived all her life
in lower East Side tenementS. For
a number of years she and hel
husband and two daughters oc-
cupied a flat in a dilapidated OLD
building which was about as un-
comfortable a place as people ever
tried to call home. 1t was dark
the filth of years was ingrained in
the very walls, it stank to heaven
and it was overrun with vermin
THE mice and the insects"
said Mrs. Schier, they could only
have been killed with dynamite u
But at last a slum clearance pro-
gram was got under way, and the
new apartments of the Williams
burgh Housing Project. in Brook
lyn, were built. The Schier family
moved out of its old hovel into
one of these clean, airy new
dwellings And Mrs. Schier cried
as she told the committee about the
change.
1T has been so wonderful, so re-
markable, that is seems like a
dream" she said. 1T is truly
paradise. I am just as poor as
when I lived on the East Side, but
when l walk through these
grounds I feel like a millionaire
Even my clothes feel different
though they are the very same
clothes"
There is the angle on slum clear
ance that we usually forget aboue
1t takes money to replace slums
with decent homes; more money
unfortunately, than we are able to
afford on any scale broad enough
to wipe out our slum problem. 1t
