But such things as are hap
pening in Germany and Aus

grave doubt as to the existence
of any such God I was taught

ton Of viperS who now control
the government and destinies of
Germany and Austria. The con-
duct of the Nazis is incompre-
hensible to one raised in the
atmosphere Of our free institu-
tions and racial concord and
harmony.
Aside, however, from the out
rageous, uncivilized and pagan
treatment Of these helpless
people by the Nazi authorities,
the rest Of the civilized world
should be gravely concerned, not
only upon grounds Of common
decency and humanity, though
that is sufficient, but also be-
cause these people, who are be-
ing driven from Germany and
Austria, present to civilized gov.
ernments the gravest Of prob
lens.
In the present economic con-
ditions of the world these COW
ernments cannot readily give
refuge to and absorb, and find
employment for, these hundreds
of thousands of people who are
being so ruthlessly and brutally
driven from Germany and Aus
tria.
It is the duty Of such gov
ernments to unitedly protest not
only upon grounds Of human"
ity, but that Of their own in
terests this action of the Nazi
powers, and If necessary take
more positive measures, for
Germany has no moral or legal
right to force these people
upon the hospitality and charity
Of other nations.
In conclusion, whether there
is a God who concerns Himself
with the affairs of man, the
writer is confident of one thing.
and that is retributive justice
between men and nations, and
he believes that as sure as the
sun rises and sets the day will
come when Germany will pay
to the last pfennig for her re-
voting acts of outrage and IN
humanity. Neither man nor ma
ton can SOW the wind without
reaping the whirlwind.

The editorial which you re-
printed from the New York Daily
News the other day-headed
Roosevelt Resurgent"-
sums up the situation at the
close of the session of Congress
when it says that the President
''iS practically as popular with
the masses of the people as he
ever was, according to various
public-opinion surveys, and he
winds up this session firmly in
control of Congress"
There are other opinions ex-
pressed in the editorial with
which I differ, but I can agree
heartily with this, as well as
with the statement: I'VE believe
that the people have been for
President Roosevelt throughout,
and that the reason has been
that they have believed him to
be loyal to them and their in
tereSts. He hasn't abandoned
his original program. and they
know it, and they are grateful
to him."
It is liksYise true that. al
though his court reorganization
bill was beaten, ''he won the
campaign through the resigna-
tions Of conservative Justices
Van Devanter and Sutherland"
I do not, however, concede
that it was "a tactical error" for
the President to spring his
Supreme Court measure. What
defeated the bill was not erro-
neous tactics on his part but a
vast and vicious stream Of lying
propaganda and terrific pressure
from reactionary interests on
the members Of Congress.
Fortunately, nevertheless. as
the editorial writer says, he
accomplished his objective by
reason Of the two designations,
augmented by the fact that GER
tain conservative juristS still on
the high bench suddenly took
judicial notice Of the "predilec-
tion returns" and began inter

Stretching the old saw to the
effect that Crime Doesn't Pay"
OBrien and his ilk present a lot
Of proof that the defense of
crime does not pay-that is,
when the lawyer is well aware
that his client is guilty but takes
up the cudgelS for him and,
whether he wins or not, shares
in the proceeds of the crime.
O'Brien was not only a gang
ster lawyer but he was also the
friend and associate of gang
sters. And, let it be said for him,
he had more courage than any
of his throng Of clients. He had
been shot at by enemies Of the
men he was defending q dozen
times. He had been wounded
half a dozen times from ambush
and was full of bullets.
DURING the course OF a par
~ ticularly vicious murder
trial, O'Brien referred to op-
posing counsel as a man 80
lightheaded in his theories that
if he took his shoes off he would
float upward till he hit the cell.

OBrien was batting, lis some

weighted with the bullets Of
Chlcago'S mobsters that it is a
wonder he does not sink through

downward until he reaches his
proper habitat, the internal
regions" ...
Well, anyhow, O'Brien seems
to have gone quite a way along
the path predicted for him.

Other lawyers have been
killed by clients who blamed
them for their conviction or

out as the only attorney who
was so feared by the other side

could get to them himself the
law stepped in and arrested
both men on a charge Of mur-
der. O'Brien, as usual, was hired
for the defense.
He and his clients, who in the
Chicago manner had secured
bond while on trial for q capital
charge, were walking away from
the criminal courts on the first
day Of the trial when q machine
gun volley raked them fore and
aft just as they were passing the
Roman Catholic Cathedral. The
marks Of that bloody encounter
are still to be seen on the walls
Of the sacred edifice.

TUE would-be slayers dropped
their guns and fed from
the second story room which had
been rented for the purpose
across the street. There was no
crowd when the police arrived,
for those in the neighborhood
had fled in terror. They found
Weiss and Drucci trying, as best
they were able, to crawl to cover.
But OBrien, blood streaming
from his wounds, leaned against
the cathedral while he threw
stones from a conveniently near
by pile at the window from
which the shots had come. Had
he been able to, he would have
stormed the machine.gun nest
singlehanded.
When the hired killers were
at last caught up with, they de-
clared they had been told to

The slaughter Of the two mob
sters was considered secondary

of its privileged status"
Emphasizes Doctrine of Daring.
Again that election year, and on the
eve of the election that was to see him
returned to Office by popular and elec-
toral majorities no man before him has
known, it was to the words of his Repub-
lican kinsman that Franklin Roosevelt
turned to conclude national broadcast.
He said:
However large or small our part Gin
the service of democracy, we can all
feel with Theodore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts, not
the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The
credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena; whose face is marred by
the dust and sweat and blood who strives
valiantly; who errs and comes short again
and again; who knows the great en-
thusiasms, the great devotions, and
spends himself in worthy cause; who
at the best knows in the end the tri-
umphs of high achievement; and who
at the worst. if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly; so that his place
| shall never be with those cold and tinid
souls who know neither defeat nor VIC
tory"
Yet this attempt to draw together from
public utterances a suggestion of the in
| fluence Theodore Roosevelt has had and
! still may have in shaping the course
Franklin Roosevelt follows in the White
House would be incomplete without one
more citation. In the light of what has
happened since. that one is more preg
nant with meaning than all the rest.
Offered Clue to Events.
Less than a year ago, when the hrst
designs for the liberal versus conserva
tive battle he later launched in Demo-
cratic primary campaigning must have
been in his mind, the President addressed
Jackson Day dinner in Washington.
That was last January. and his opening
words, looking back now, were clear
clue to what was to come, to what might
come in l940
He noted that woman correspondent
had written him saying she wanted to
vote for him but could not because of Re-
| publican upbringing.
MY reply to her ran as follows" the
| President said:
MY father and grandfather were
Democrats and was brought up as a
Democrat, but in 1904, when I cast my
first vote for President, voted for the
Republican candidate, Theodore Roose
welt, because 1 thought he was better
Democrat than the Democratic candidate

ness what will happen If the Townsend
old age pension bill. for example, is
brought up for consideration In either or
both houses. But there is a growing
opinion that such . measure would be
exceedingly difficult to defeat. Only q
real conservative swing could prevent its
passage.
Appropriation bills are likely to pro-
vide one of the greatest fields of battle
in Congress. Congress put through at its
last session an appropriation of $l.425,-
100000 for the w. P. A. to carry the
country through to March I, 1899. A
proviso was included that the total
amount could be expended in seven
months, if the President decided that
was necessary. In October the Presi-
dent ordered that the sum be made to
cover the full period to March !. But
the expenditures and commitments and
the failure to reduce pay rolls SUM-
GENTLY have made this impossible.
The President last July estimated that
the total Government expenditures for
the fiscal year which ends next July
would total about $4,000, ,0O0, 900, exclud-
ing debt retirement, and that the deficit
would be about $4,000, 600, 900. 1t Is that
kind of thing that is driving many men,
bers of Congress to insist upon curtail-
ment, with other large deficits extending
all through the Roosevelt years.
The dissatisfaction of the farmers with
the Crop Control Act was demonstrated
in the elections, and the administration,
as we'll as its opponents, is casting around
for means of appeasing the farmers. Ex-
port debentures, cost Of production and
domestic "two-price" system, the last
put forward by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, are among the various suggest
ed remedies.
Real tests of New Deal strength will
come when proposals are made to re-
vamp the National Labor Relations Act
so as to give the employers some of the
rights under the act which are now
confined to the employees. Also, when
the reorganization BILL or bills, come
up, and when some of the Presidents ap.
pointees for high office are before the

the pupil becomes an accredited social
visitor. She is usually appointed as a
all requests for help are made to her.
She makes her visit, sends her observa-
tions and recommendations, together
with the police report on the family to
the Fascist headquarters for action.
Workers From Every Stratum.
Every series of classes is attended by
at least one representative from every
Fascist district in every city. This means
that the workers in each class come from
every startum of society-rich and poor.
At the lessons which 1 attended some of
the women arrived in their own limou-
sines, others came on street cars. and
many had walked for a long distance in
shoes with heels worn down to the up
pers.
How" asked the class director, can
women who are so obviously poor afford
to give their time and energy to this
work."
In Germany the answer would have
been, "It's for the good of the state" but
the emotional Italian temperament has
not yet been completely smothered in
propaganda slogans.
"The woman" replied the director,
'who looks poor to you is considered well
to do by her neighbors. She has always
been their benefactress and by becoming
the Fascist party welfare representative
she will be in a better position to help"
Undoubtedly pressure is brought to
bear on women to serve in this party
welfare work, but those with whom I
came in contact were doing it enthusi-
astically and efficiently. 1t is certainly
conducted with more understanding and
help to suffering humanity than the VOL
unteer work of the man stewards in Nazi
Germany.
Infant Mortality Reduced.
Italian women, given no representation
in the Fascist government and with
their opportunities for making business
careers becoming more and more re-
stricted, deserve great credit for their ac-
complishments in the welfare field. 1t
is largely due to their work that Italy
today is among the first nations in ma
ternity and child welfare, as result Of
which infant mortality and death in
| childbirth have been drastically reduced
| in the last few years.
Mussolini encourages the volunteer
pioneer and social welfare workers be-
cause these pursuits do not interfere
with marriage and child bearing. They
supplement II Duces program for in
creasing Italy's population almost so per
cent by 1850. Furthermore, by regiment
ing the women in these camps and
classes they can easily be indoctrinated
with Fascist propaganda, and the train
ing equips them mentally and physically
for service to the nation in the event OF
| war
