one of the screwiest things an out

APPRAISING ROOSEVELT

Fairly and in few words The Christian Science
Monitor gives estimate Of President Roosevelt
and his work, now that he has completed his first
five years in office:
Probably, however, Mr. Roosevelt has influ-
eneed America as much by what he is as by
what he has done. His exemplfication of cour-
age and cheer in a trying time has set tone for
popular thinking. He has brought social
sympathy and an awareness of the problems of
the less fortunate and of this the nation stood
in need. He has tackled stupendous problems
with a light-heartedness that sometimes opproach-
ed irresponsibility, and his methods have seldom
been as good as his motives nor his carry through

regards prospective German pene-
tration into Czechoslovakia. and
the Balkans as menace to her.
Consequently, they infer, it will
be easy for the Chamberlain gov
eminent to work out an agree
ment with MusSolini on the Medi-
terranean situation and then to
play off Italy against Germany.
The old British game of play
ing both ends against the middle
was at least temporarily inter-
rupted when Hitler and Mussolini
decided that they could and would
put England herself in the middle.
This arrangement blossomed in
to an "anti-Communist" pact with
Japan which caused Britain ST.
multaneously to worry about Ger
man air raids, control of the Medi-
terranean and her "life line' to
India and her interests in the Far
East. It bloomed into a climax,
at least according to certain like
ly grapevine reports, when Ger
many and Italy both refused to
enter into any "appeasement" ne
gotiations with England until Sir
Anthony Eden resigned as for
eign minister.
Not everyone in the State De-
partment is so naive as to believe
that Italy will now decide to part
company with Nazi Germany and
cast in her lot with England in re-
turn for certain not too vital con-
cessions. There are those who be-
lieve that Hitler and Mussolini
long ago agreed that Germany
should have Austria and that Italy
should have Spain-and, in each
case, goodness knows how much
more territory.
Nothing is proved except the
fact that the United States, with
few if any chips on the table as
yet, just doesn't know what's hap
pening or what's about to happen
in Europe and presumably should
stay out OF the game.

GOODBY GAY VIENNA! Hell
STERN ADOLF!
(Ru BRUCE CATION

The Nazis have finally extended their
benign guidance to what used to be Aus
tria and gay, dreamy Vienna henceforth
may be about as gay and dreamy as Phil
adeIphia on dreary winter Sunday.
One of the major tragedies of the Hit
lerization of little Austria is the certainty
that the be-good- or-be-beaten discipline
that the Nazis so dearly love will be I'M
posed on her capital. Vienna, where for
many centuries good food, beautiful wo-
men and gay dancing have been consider
ed among the most important things IN
life, may feel the puritanical Influence OF
the Nazi reform mania.
Wiener schnitzel will be broiled in some
imitation butter because the Nazis must
have guns instead of butter. The beauti-
fuf women will be sent to camps to learn
farm work or they may be told that their
place is forever in the home, for they must
be, ready to do their solemn bit when the
big war comes.
Leisure, long looked upon as an art in
Vienna, will of course be something to be
forgotten for there can be no unemploy-
ment-much less anything like leisure-in
Nazi state. In short, the Viennese must
stop having fun and be quick about de-
dicating their lives to the greater glory of
Herr Hitler and his ideas of how the
world should be run. ..
In this hefuddled world the Nazis are
true missionaries. Nothing makes good
storm trooper happier than the knowledge
that he has changed the way of living of
some erring soul and brought to him the
stern light of national socialism. And
right there you have the aspect of Nazism
that is more irritating to lot of people
than the more sinister phases of the move
ment.
The Germans used to be just about the
worlds jolliest people. It was rare Ger
man indeed who was not dominated by the
spirit of gemuetichkeit. But Herr Hitler
apparently has changed them into ma
ton of crusading zealots.
Not long ago it was even decreed that
helGermans would consume no book beer
this spring. Got away with it, too. What
ever you think of Der Fuehrer you must
admit that he accompishes things no man
ever dared dream before the advent of the
Nazi regime.
Bht when Herr Hitler finally gets every
ing he wants-which is quite bit-what
then? Will the German people behappy {?
Ordinary human beings-and that is just
exactly what the Germans fundamentally
are-asking more pleasure of life than the
Nazis are willing to permit.
So for the present: He'll Hitler, Vienna,
and: forget all those champagne parties,
grand balls, and the light and carefree
spirit that made you famous. As the cap
ital of Nazi state you now have mis-
sion, and the fulfillment of that mission
