Are We Prepared for 1nvasions From Mars?
Philadelphia Record)

The more one thinks of the mass hysteria of Sun day night the less funny is becomes The radio sta ton and Orson Weles, the performer, are repentant the Federal Communications Commission is studying the matter But what of those who heard the broad cast and actually believed the earth being attacked by from Mars?
 What censorship can cure the underlying popular neuross disclosed by the panic? What investigation can explain how come there are millions of citizens, including some whole communities, willing to believe Mars has attacked the earth just because voice over the radio tells them so?
 One purpose of education is to inculcate healthy skeptcism that democracy's best defense against demagogues and mob hystera. Where Sunday night was the result of the billions the nation spends on education?
 Nearly every grown American has learned to read and write But what price literacy if we easily be frightened by tale that would make naked savage burst out laughing? Sometimes it is impos sble not wonder if the vast technical and educa- tional advances haven't been made at the price of old fashioned horse sense. The radio would have delighted Ben Franklin. But can't Ben Frankln's generation believing in the attack from Mars.
 There is something about Sunday nights that is unpleasantly suggestive of the panic in Germany that followed the Reichstag fire
 The Nazis seized the air and poured into German radios the repeated assertion that the Communists had burned the Reichstag The Nazs themselves were virtually to admit later that this pure fabrication as Sunday nights radio ski But because it was said loudly enough and in tones meant to in- spire terror millions of Germans neglected to figure that the Communists would have no interest what ever in burning the Reichstag and that the Nazis would.
 The result of that radio panic the consoda- tion of Hiers power the ensuing election the last free election held in Germany.
 The real invaders from Mars these unrea- sonng fears upon which skillful demagogues play Calamity the United States is not likely to take the form of foreign invasion civil It is more likely to be the sampeded hysteria such as R L. Duffus described in his Night Between the Rivers and Sinclair Lewis in his Tt Can't Happen Here"
 That army from Mars is to be feared than soldiers from Germany Russia.

4 Brand-New Precedent
Cincinnati Enquirer

Barring all the various events trends which mer King George VT and Queen Elizabeth will pay a state visit to Washington. The visit will create a wholly new precedent fer never in our history has a regning British King visited the United States Nor has any other monarch of great power made state visit possessed of high political importance.
 And political importance it is bound to have, for is impossible to believe that the journey would have been arranged unless both governments considered most desirable to strengthen the cordial relations between the two peoples.
 Nevertheless it would be a mistake to exaegerate the political implications of the trip planned. King George and Queen Elizabeth visited Paris with maxi signed to instll the hearts of leading Nazis to remind them of the solidarity of France and Britain. Yet was followed by the tragic absurdity of Munich France and Britain stood shoulder to shoulder in a policy of surrender.
 We cannot know what opportunities for Anglo American cooperation there will be by next summer. Certainly the basis for firm entente is greatly weak ened by MT. Chamberlains program of humorng Ger many at any cost. The British Government is prob ably less popular among Americans generally than at any time in this century Yet six months from now the picture may be greatly changed.
 In any event a royal visit to strengthen Anglo ngton makes clear its refusal to undertake a positive commitment to Britain without voice in determining British foreign policy If workable basis for coop eration develops a result of changed British for eign policy, the state visit should be salutary

FRIDAY, NOV. 25, 1898

Unfriendly planetary influences are discerned for today, according to astrology. The stars appear ill., omened for women who are ambiti- ous.
 Under this planetary direction there may be depression and weari- ness which should be fought by sen sible men and women.
 Aged persons may be sensitive to the configuration which en- courages discussion of their dis abilities and methods of relief. Inn practical pension plans that fail will stimulate generous provision for those past middle life.
 Labor is under sinister sway again today when compromises and ad- justments may be slow in produc- ing good results. The seers warn that the fullest cooperation between em- ployers and employees will be nee essary.
 Tense international situations vii develop despite peace policies. Ma tional solidarity is imperative fol the United States. Growth of power is to be attained in this country more rapidly than in previous his tory it is prophesied
 This should be an suspicious day for dances and other social gayetieS Young men may be more susceptible as the year 1888 reaches an end.
 Another disaster is forecast fol the Far East. affecting both China and Japan Ethiopia may cause un- expected troubles for Mussolini
 Economic anxieties will disturb the governments of Europe through the winter, which is to be severe in many parts of the world
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of mixed luck but journeys or changes will assure good fortune. Girls should be care full in choosing new friends. Children born on this day prob- ably will be sensitive and artistic in nature. The subjects of this sigr of Sagittarius are good in atten- tion to details and conscientious ir aspiring toward perfection.
