THE AMERICAN SYSTEM
IN SEATTLE
The New York IImcSI

The New York Tines
BY a very large majority the people oi Sealue
have rejected a candidate for Mayor backed
bv the CIO and elected instead more conSet-
yative candidate who had pledged himself TO
reestablish the city'S reputation as laW-aoldlhe
community to restore its financial credit, TO
suppress intimidation violence and labor racket
eering and TO use the power of the Mayors oiIlte
to restore industrial peace and prosperity.
The result Of this election held in city o.
nearly a half million people. long beSet by labor
difficulties has a significance which goes far
beyond that of the usual municipal election.
As was the case last year in Detroit, It casts
doubt on the success of efforts TO use the political
organization of labor. not as part of a general
fusion movement in the interest of good local
government but as a separate party instrument
intended to advance the interests OF single
economic group. In SO doing it throws light on
the present state OF public opinion in communi-
tv which has served in recent years as a Ia
vorite proving ground for political experimental
ton
After Detroit and Seattle, there is even more
reason than there was before to believe that
the old traditions of a political democracy IN
which men vote as citizens will continue to
prevail over the ideology which would subsu-
tute for these traditions a new rivalry OF class

MIGHT PATROLS AGAINST
DRUNKEN DRIVERS

The California Highway Patrol AID
its chief in Imperial county, Captain
Frank Oswalt, deserve the cOunty's ap
plause for the new permanent campaign
to eliminate drunken drivers from the
highways. 1t is a direct campaign to
reduce automobile accidents.
BY stopping motorists and truck driV-
ers here and there. without warning, the
highway patrolmen can make it very
dangerous to take a drink before get
ting behind a wheel. While the cSn-
paign is carried out, no motorists in the
county can be sure when he will be stop
ped. And every motorist will know that,
if he has been drinking and is stopped,
he most likely will spend night in jail.
Most drivers will think a second time
before taking the risk.
The next step is prosecution of every
drunk driver caught in the net, without
consideration of person or position.
prominent business man is no less q
menace than a farm laborer if both are
drunken drivers. One is as liable as the
other to cause a fatal accident. One
should receive the same treatment as
the other.
There can be no logical objection to
the highway patrols program, in our
opinion. To the mOtOrist who might be
caused momentary inconvenience there
is the assurance that the highway he
travels is less likely to be the road to
his death And from those who drink
and drive. there should be thanks to the
patrol for keeping them out of acci-
dents that might end their own lives.

charges.

Coffee Men Like

There's no getting away from the
fact that the ability to make fine
coffee-coffee that men, that the
whole family, will like-is a great
accomplishment. However, coffee
making is not difficult if you use
good coffee. The only trick re-
uuired is exactness. To use an
analogy, coffee making demands
the same care and precision that
taking pictures demand. The lens
of the camera must be clean. The
light must be measured. The
distance to the object must be taken
into consideration. the timing Of
the exposure must be accurate.
If you don't watch every one OF
these points, you have a dandy
chance to get picture that is too
light or too dark or out of focus.
Likewise in making coffee there
are fundamental rules that must be
rigidly observed and Obeyed. The
colfee-making utensils must be very,
very clean. The water and coffee
must be carefully measured. The
application of heat must be watch

nIrOR THE pOST-PRESS.

EDITOR. THE POST-PRESS:
II seems time for someone TO
enter vigorous protest publicly
condemning the march Of madness
among American people.
An English writer recently class
ed Americans as nation of moronS,
and not without some cause, espe-
cially, for the purpose of this
article. as concerns the modern
conception Of music-God save the
mark,
To those Of US who still appre-
ciate MUSIC - harmony, melody,
and rhythm properly blen'ied-there
is more peace inspiring qualities in
the long drawn out hair-raising
caterWaul of a vicious tom-cat than
in ALL the frightful stuff called
Jazz. with which Gods pure air
and the name of music Is insulted
today. Still, both tom-cat and or
chestra pour out their souls in the
most seductive notes possible to
them. Nor is it possible for love-
sick cats and jazz-mad people to
rise above their particular brand
Of music" seemingly-begging the
cats pardon-their minds do not
run in more decent channels.
And safe 10 say that if our mod
ern orchestras and their devotees
witnessed savage tribal ceremonies
they would screw up their faces
and stick their fingers in their
ears. Yet there is both rhythm
and harmony, invariably, in savage
ceremonies, and not infrequently,

THE OFFICIAL WELCOME
ON u. S. DOORMAT

Perhaps there is some good reason
why the United States has announced to
the world that it will not only receive,
but will welcome political refugees from
Austria, Germany and Spain, and-al-
though it was sort of an afterthought
from any other European country
We fail to see the reason.
The United States has never barred
immigrants because of race or political
creed, and we see no reason why 1t should
do so now On the other hand, neither do
we see any reason why the United States
should send an especial official welcome
to particular group of political refug-
ees If they want to come, and if they
are of the calibre of good citizens, then
let them comply with the immigration
laws and come here. But don't send them
a ticket and a chamber of commerce well
come-and don't give them the key to
the country when they get here.

THE ETHIOPIAN
IN THE COAL BIN

One day this week we commented in
this column that maybe the Mexican
oil grab and similar events south of the
International boundary were inspired
by Somebody outside of Mexico.
Now it looks like, to use the popular
phrase, maybe we had something there.
A dispatch from Tokyo, where Japan
is directing her war of conquest in Chi
ma, quotes japanese officials OF large
oil company as saying that perhaps
japan will arrange with Mexico to take
the output of the oil wells the Mexican
government has taken over from British,
American and other interests.
Oil is the one thing Japan needs most.
Could it be possible that MeXico's mar
ket was arranged before Mexico grabbed

Famous Sayings

might consider the case of LaSzlo
Fodor, who committed the twin
atrocities of being born a Jew and
of drawing cartoons to the left OF
the extreme right advocated by the
Great Mao.
Fodor was not miStreatcd phySl-
cally by the Nazis and was not
sent to a concentration camp. So
perhaps a dispassionate eXamina-
ton of his story is all the more
possible.
Fodor fought four years in the
Austro- Hungarian army, coming
up through the ranks to a COM
mission as a lieutenant. Germany
was at that time glad to have the
support of such men, even if they
were Jewish blood
After the war, Fodor went to
Berlin as a political cartoonist and
editor. His success was quick and
soon he had organized his own
newspaper syndicate. He prospered
Then came the Nazi fury. Hitler's
storm troopers kicked Fodor out OF
his office, told him to get out OF
the country, They allowed him tc
take his wife, his passport, and
some clothes with him. The Nazis
took over Fodor'S syndicate, which
at that time was making about
100000 a year They are still ope-
rating it.

land. where, before Hitler. he had

Santa Monica Outlook

The recent flood has brought forth an inter
esting statement from Mr.. L. Demming Tilton,
head of the state planning Commission He
blames much of the flood damage on short-sight-
edness in land development and feels that the
use of land should be determined by some plan
ming authority 50 as to prevent communities
from suffering by the utilization of land for
purposes to which it is not adapted.
Many will agree with Mr. Tilton. There have
been cases where land which properly drain
age Wayg for emergency floodWaters sites for
overflow basins has been used for residence dis
tricts and for business purposes This has not
been entirely the fault Of real estate operators.
II has been due also to bad judgment on the
part of many otherwise intelligent people
Some state or local planning method might
be adopted which would remedy mistakes of this
kind in community development in the future
Doubtless that is in Mr. Tiltons mind.
