survivor. Not only does he liye-but
with each catastrophe he falls up

The late John w. Wheeler-Bennett
one Of the closest British students of

inherited ceramic interests in the Saar;
the viveur. the perennially gay, the
ladies' man, is the great dilettant of
war and revolution.
He forgets his brief cases-and the

was war going on. He himself
had an amusing role to play in that
war; really it was like a detective
story Exciting. He was popular
Some people thought his eyes were a
| little too close together, giving his
longish face an apelike expression
but he was obviously a gentleman.
| His job was to organize sabotage
| against Americas shipments of arms
to Europe. For, unfortunately, and
since Britain ruled the waves, those
arms were reaching the allies. 1t
might even be better to stop them al
the source-by blowing up the num-
| tions works. The Americans, anyhow
| are so naive. Il always say to these
idiotic Yankees that they should shut

OF admiration for all our heroism," he
writes to his wife in l915-in an open
letter. Which the idintic Yankees, OF
course, get and read.
The British are idotic, too. Dull
fellows. Really, nothing to fear from
them. Won Papen pays off his saboteurs
and spies. Methodically. He writes
the checks, and enters the names and
dates carefully on the stubs. The
idiotic Americans expell him in 1916
along with his collaboration, Capt
Boy-Ed. They don't arrest him
After all, he has diplomatic immunity
But he takes along the check books
and in an open brief case. The line,

year enjoyed by that classification in
the palmy days of 1929.
So the New Deal has had its way.
1t has done what Huey Long argued
for. But, unfortunately, rearranging
the income has not increased the total
for the people as whole. The ma
tional income of America was $8l, ,000,-
100000 in 1929, and yet was only
about s63, 900, 100000 in 1896.
1t apparently does very little good
to reapportion existing income if the
total of all income isn't enlarged so
that there is more for everybody.
While it is true there are about 1,730,-
600 persons better off because they
have come from a classification below
$1,000 year to the group somewhere
between 81, 900 and $4,000 year, the
same Nation of 130,00O,0OO souls is
now suffering an unemployment total
somewhere between 100000 and
100000, while the partially en-
ployed, whose earnings have decreased,
must be many millions in number,
too.

if ultimately it causes natural flow
of capital into investment channels.
But. in the last five years, during
which $l6,0O0, 100000 has been spent
by the Federal Government in excess
of receipts and hence added to the
public debt, the greatest part of this
big sum has stayed in the well of bank

In a sense, the pump is primed now,
