Suspicious Middle Glass
Is Good for a Democracy

Is Good for a Democracy
The sum total of the situation, as
regards the middle classes, is that
they have become critical again.
They followed Mr.. Roosevelt un-
swervingly (speaking, now, Of the
majority and they accepted his
statements that 1--WE have planned
it that way" But when the depres-
sion of 1887 came on them and it
hit as hard as that of 1880, they
found doubt in their minds. He
could not have planned it that way,
they reasoned. So there followed
the natural sequence of criticism,
and the country began to think that
criticism was legitimate despite the
New Dealers barrage of propagan-
da that the criticism, itself, was
propaganda. With the middle
classes back in the suspicious mood
that is good for democracy, they
are again occupying their rightful
role in government. There are
many times more of them than any
other group; they are the majority,
and they showed it again this year
by the sharp division of votes.
The New Deal, with the aid Of
old line Jeffersonian Democrats,
will control the congress for the next
two years. But their control is not
of such a character as to permit
denial of rights to any individual
representative or senator or any
group of them. There can be no
mailed fist or "must' orders. In
stead, if Majority Leader Barley
in the senate and Majority Leader
Rayburn in the house want to get
their programs through, there must
be moderation. Extremes will spell
defeat and revolt, and it is conceiv-
able that policies of too radical
type could send the old line Demo-
Gratis over to the aid of the Repub-
licans and into a coalition to de-
stroy the New Deal utterly and eff
fectively. There can be no more
rubber stamp business. New Deal
tactics must change, and the sooner
the bunch of so-called intellectuals,
the high brows, learn this lesson, the
better it will be for Mr.. Roosevelt,
politically.
am told by a number Of politi-
cally important personages that the
election already has increased the
courage of some of the conservative
Democrats who were not outspoken
heretofore. 1t is predicted that
these will feel free now to tell the
President when they disagree. None
can foretel how far that situation
will develop. 1t is part, how
ever, of the thought that modera-
ton must be the rule.

Cardinal Innitzer's palace in Wen
ma. Now this battle has spread to
Munich, where Michael Cardinal
Won Faulhaber's palace was stoned.
At Salzburg the Catholic university
society has disbanded.
The immediate excuse for a 49,
hour anti-Jewish hysteria was the
assassination in Paris of Ernest Won
Rath, German diplomatic attache,
by a 17-year-old Polish Jew. Right
eously proc1aiming that German
Jews are answerable for the anti
Nazi acts Of world Jewry, Germany
has resorted to medieval terrorism
and forced her Jewish citizens into
such an economically impossible sit
iuation that self-extermination APP
pears to be the eventual result.
This seemingly ill-reasoned solu-
ton of the Jewish problem appar-
emily typifes the Nazi method Of
dealing with enemies, real or imagi-
nary. Observers are certainly not
inclined to accept the Won Rath
murder as reason for the latest
wave of persecution. Probably
better answer is that totalitarian
rulers must have constant "cause
celehre" and that Nazidom, having
won it's Czechoslovakian cause, has
found a new wave of Jewish perse-
cution the most satisfactory method
of keeping national enthusiasm
whipped up. However, since world
opinion has rebelled against such
a gruesome policy, it may prove a
boomerang.
Foreign
To ward off Germany's aggres-
sion on southeastern Europe, Tur-
keys late President Renal Ataturk
led formation of a Balkan entente.
Its members: Greece, Turkey, Ru-
mania and Jugoslavia. In the CEN
ter lies independent Bulgaria, still
sulking over World war territorial
losses to Greece, Jugoslavia and
Rumania, waiting for the highest
bidder to buy her favor.
Since dynamic President Ataturk
died, since Germany's economic
drive has borne fruit this year in
Austria, Hungary and Czechoslo-
vakia, the Balkan entente is now
looking for every possible means Of
solidifying itself. Observers predict
that Jugoslavia will return her war
won territory to Bulgaria before
January /, also that Greece and Ru-
mania will do likewise. In return,
Bulgaria will join the Balkan en-
! tente. 81.
Meanwhile, although the entente
viii be strengthened by this shift of
frontiers, Turkeys anti-Nazi posi-
/ ton is not nearly so strong under
her new president, Ismet Inonu, as
under Ataturk. Although Turkey
has long been pro-British, England's
vacillating policy of recent months
has forced the Turks to seek other
alliances. While an admirer of the
United States and Great Britain,
Inonu cannot forget the obligations
his nation assumed when it recently
received a huge loan from the
Reich. Thus he must cooperate with
southeastward-bound Adolf Hitler.
o Desperately seeking to avert ma
tional bankruptcy, France has is
sued 80 decree laws imposing every
restriction possible without violating
the traditional principles Of French
government. The gold reserve has
been revaluated at the rate of ITO
francs to the pound sterling, giving
the government a paper profit of %
billion francs. All taxes have been
raised and the controversial five-day
work week has been modified with

Inc ". .. department OI dSTlCul-
lures efforts to export surplus
wheat have never enjoyed the state
departments sympathy, since for
eign wheat-growing nations would
be angry if their domestic prices
were depressed by U. S. dumping Of
surplus grain. Although Secretary
Of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
now admits the export subsidy plan
is not efficient, his department is
committed to disposing of part of
the U. S. surplus in this manner.
Meanwhile Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull has held his breath, hop
ing these exports will not injure in
ternational relations, especially with
South American nations.
This was the situation when Frank
A. Theis, Kansas City grain broker,
appeared at Rio de Janeiro to sell
15,000,000 bushels of U. S. wheat in
Brazil. That nation was not imme-
diately hostile but a strong protest
came from Argentina, which now
supplies all Of BraziPs wheat. Al
though Brazilians could use cheap
wheat to make cheap bread, Argen-
tina is good customer Of the U. S.
Upshot was protest to the state
department, delivered in Washing
ton by Argentina's Ambassador Don
Felipe Espel. The problems crux:

More Thinking and Less
Emotion Seems to Be Rule

Looking over the whole picture,
as the colors and the outlines now
exhibit themselves, one who favors
good government of a sound and
lasting character cannot help hav-
ing his faith renewed. Of course,
the political pendulum swings back
and forth. That is to be expected.
But, to me, there has appeared on
the horizon a new level Of political
thought. Perhaps, I should not say
that it is entirely new; I should say
that it has been restored to its place
in American life. And that observa-
ton should be amplified with the
further statement that more think
ing and less emotion appears to be
the rule throughout the land. Alb
sence of/hysteria, or reduction OF
the scope of hysteria, always makes
for sounder and more constructive
conclusions. That is why there is
so little use for an analysis of mi
mute returns this year. The aspect
is too broad to hinge upon such de-
tail.
Probably, it can be said that the
vote was an expression against
waste and extravaganza, against
corruption of the electorate by use
of public moneys, such as went on
among relief workers and for which
we ought always to be ashamed; it
probably can be said that it was a
vote against blank check appropria-
tons, or against government mess
ing into every phase of human en-
deavor, or against many another
item of policy in the New Deal, and
if it were so said, it would be true
to degree, everywhere. But we
are concerned with the sum into
which these several things have
heen added.

power which Mr.. Roosevelt so often

The New Dealers completely capitu-
lated to organized labor of the c. /.

votes there to bulwark its assault
on business. The middle classes
which embrace the backbone and

from the New Deal thinkers. They
have been the forgotten men" (and
women) about which Mr.. Roosevelt
spoke when campaigning in 1882. It
is quite clear that the middle classes
have grown tired of government
playing into the hands of single
class. They are tired, as they were
in 1882, when the Republicans had
played too much into the hands Of
big business.

After % years Of pickering, the
u. S. and Mexico have reached a
settlement over Mexican expropria-
: ton of American-owned farm lands.
On December / a two-man commit
tee will meet in Mexico City to de-
termine the amount Of Mexico's IL
ability, after which a $1,000, 900 ini-
tial payment will be made. Subse-
quent payments will not be less than
81, 200, 900 a year. Mexico insists, how
ever, that the farm land settlement
establishes no precedent requiring
her to pay for $500, 600, 900 in foreign
owned oil lands seized during the
past few years. Why she should
pay for land which contains no oil,
meanwhile refusing to pay for land
that does, is a perplexing bit Of
reasoning. The most likely answer
is that farm land is cheaper than
oil land, and that Mexico hopes her
larger sin will be forgiven if she
atones for the smaller sin.

Let's turn for a moment to Holt

the scenes and determine what
chances the Vikings have for
championship team this season.
It would be useless to ask Coach
Pete Walker. We've done that be-
fore and all we could get was,
We're a cinch for last spot
You don't have to peak behind
the scenes to see that the Vikings
have a tough line and a backtield
made good by the presence OF Jack
Gray.
But the Vikings have a tough
row to hoe to win the valley league
championship. Friday night the
Walkermen go up against a power
full El Centro team which is over
due.
CaleMco. resting IN first place, is
rated an almost certain winner over
and injury -riddled Brawley eleven.
A loss for Holtville would eliminate
the vikings from the title picture.
A win would put them in good
spot to overtake the CaleXico Bull
dogs when the clubs clash one week
from Friday night.
Holtvllle will go into the FL Cen
tro game a slight favorite on the
basis OF previous record, but Han
sons crew will be ready for the

ing the Spartans would rather do
