A Book a Day
Europe Scrambles for Suckers
By BRUCE CATION

Europe's dilemma is insoluble European civilization is built on the theory that a nation can prosper only by exploiting less civilized peo- pie on other continents; there aren't enough of such peoples to go around, and the supply is constantly dwin- ding, and hence the great powers are doomed to an amending dog fight for pre-eminence-a dog fight in which right" and Justice" are on nobody's side and in which, ut timately, everybody is going to lose.
 So, in substance, says Randolph Leigh in "Conscript Europe" Put nam: $0, an intense, opinionated and highly provocative discussion of the state of world politics to- day.
 Sensibly enough, MT. Leigh sug- gested that America should make up her mind to stay out of the next European war at all costs. We shall be invited presently to step in and save democracy, civilization, or something, he says; if we are wise we snail uo nothing or the Kind.
 His book is curiously uneven. It opens with an acute analysis of England's vaunted democracy which, says MT. Leigh, is no req democracy at all and never has been. There follows a briefer dis cussion of the state of things in France, a pretty superficial survey of Germany and Italy, and the rather surprising statement that it isn't much use to study Russia because Russia isn't going to cut much fig- ure in future European history.
 You will doubtless find much in this book to disagree with; much, l imagine, that will make you mad But 1t will set you thinking, and 1t may give you a useful new slant on some of the world issues of the day.

An Avowed Candidate

Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone of New Haven becomes one of the first out-and-out candidates for puD4.c office at the state elections. While many names have been mentioned for various state and congressional offices only few of those concerned have admitted serious intentions. For time it looked as if any Tone-for-lieutenant-governor boom might be killed even before the man in question

be broken and Roosevelt, having a free hand to pick his own man, will be content to step aside.
 But if his purge Hops and the Old Guarders return to Wash ington next winter stronger and sorer than ever, then Roosevelt in 1940 is very distinct possibility. Presidential Protection
 Illustrative of the unusual Se- cret Service precautions to guard the President during his trip across the country was the ar- rangement by which relays of state motorcycle police escorted special train through their states Thus the train had 8 motorcycle escort all the way across the United States. In order to keep up with the train, the patrolmen often had to hit 30 miles an hour,
 At the luncheon given the President, no one was permit ted to enter the dining hall with an overcoat on his arm or pack age in his hands. Police insisted that all wraps and bundles be checked.
 In the open country between towns during the Presidents 150- mile trip from Los Angeles to San Diego, the Secret Service had marines, armed with loaded rifles, stationed on the ridges of all the hills.
 Merry-Go-Round
 Newsmen accompanying the President labeled the tour "the water-conscious junket" because of his frequent reference to floor control and conservative :. Cafe au lait (coffee with lot of milk) is Mrs. Roosevelt's break fast drink in the summer :. The Presidents specially con- structed automobile, used for par ades and other public occasions, is equipped with a two-way radio Son Elliott Roosevelt won $500 from a Washington corres- pondent on Senator Elmer Thom- as victory .l Oklahoma. The newsman Jet $500 to $1,000 on Conner Smith .. Reason for the recent offers of airlines to carry mail free of charge was not gen. erosity on their part. but strategy to get in on the ground floor before the new Civil Aeronautics Authority fixes rates . Col. E. M. Watson, the Presidents witty, popular military aire, is being urged by New Dealers to retiere from the Army and run against Senator Harry Byrd, in 1940. Like Byrd, Col. Watson comes from an old Virginia fam ily.

New Job for Coaches

20 McMILLIN, irrepressible Indi-
ana football coach, has another
plaza plan that can shorten the
life Of his brother football coaches
and add many a gray hair to their
already meanwhile matches.
Bo proposes that the job of quar-
terbacking be taken away from the
college players and placed where
the responsibility belongs-with the
coach"
by letting the coach call the
plays, it would speed up the game
and make it much more interest
ing" McMillin said. "And another
thing-some Of these coaches are
supposed to be so smart-let's see
what they can do running a team
on the field" .
And B0 is serious about Il. He's
going to see to it that properly
drawn up rule is presented to the
National Football Coaches associa.
ton at their next meeting.
Odds, however, are against the
acceptance Of his recommendation.
Few coaches are going to lead with
their jaw, and many will not agree
with his statement that responsible
ity rests with the coach. They have
taught their gridmen to the best Of
their ability, and from then on the
game is in the players hands. That
is as it should be.
