ECONOMIC H1GHL1GHrs


Hitler's technique when he feels
the time is ripe for a new German
conquest is simple and invariable.
First, he makes strong demands for
concessions from the country in
question. If these are granted, he
then makes still stronger demands.
This finally reaches point where
the demands become so sweeping
that the country cannot grant them
without becoming virtual province
Of ''the new Germany" So Hitler is
refused and this provides him
with what he regards as justifi-
cation for military display and ag-
gTession.
Hitler used that technique with
Austria. Now he is using 1t in an
attempt to achieve his purposes in
Czechoslovakia. The democratic
Czech government does not want
war. It has made great and import
ant concessions to Hitler, and to the
internal Nad group led by Konrad
Fenlein, who shuttles back and
forth between Berlin and Prague,
and is apparently in the closest
touch with Hitler, Goering, Goeb-
bels and other Reich officials. Now
Henlein, with the open backing Of
Germany, is making demands that,
II granted, would revolutionize both
Czechoslovakia's foreign and domes-
tic policy, and go long way to-
ward turning her into another Nazi-
dominated totalitarian state. These
demands have been refused by Pres
ident Benes.
So much for the facts. Now for
the possibilities. In her newest adj
venture, Germany is supported by
Poland. She apparently has no 9TH
er ally of Importance. Czechoslo-
vakia's chief ally is France, with
whom she has treaty that makes
French military participation auto
matte If she is invaded-and re-
cent dispatches indicate the Paris
foreign office is prepared to stand
by this treaty to the limit. France
and England have lately entered in
to an accord which makes British
military cooperation with France
virtually unacceptable If either is
forced into war, declared or unde-
clared. And lastly, Russia is bound
by treaties with both France and
Czechoslovakia to fight on their be-
half when Der Tag arrives.
Thus, Germany's aggressive ac-
tion-culminating on May 81 with
the massing Of troops near the
Czech border-can mean only one
Of two things. Either she believes
that the Czechs will succumb to
daring bluff which does not seem
likely now-or she believes that she
Is nearing or has reached the point
where she is strong enough to fight
Russia, France and England. All
three Of those countries are suffer-
ing from internal trouble of one
kind or another.
In any event, Germany's latest ac-
ton has completely disrupted the
brief and ominous quiet that has
hung over Europe since the IAN
schluss" with Austria. It has again
Indicated what so many CORES
pondents in touch with affairs have

our citizens" Thereby she demon
strates that the Presidents wife does
not have to become robot during the
period of her husbands occupation OF
the White House.
I don't think that the prestige OF
Mrs. Roosevelt's position will change
anybody's ideas about divorce, and I
doubt whether her support OF the
film The Birth Of Baby" Is any
more important than similar support
given by presidents of boards Of health,
directors Of associations for the I'M
provement of the condition OF the
poor or nationally known physicians.
I do think it important that people
should not be bull-dozed by organiza-
tions for candid expressions Of their
opinion. Mrs Roosevelt is not a man,
but neither is she mouse.
The statement that drew the fire OF
Mrs. Charles Feehan, president OF the
League of Catholic Women, addressing
the Second Diocesan Congress in Bos-
ton the other day, was that divorce Is
a recognized factor in American life,
and that the controversial motion pic
ture, THE Birth of a Baby" could
not be harmful because it was honest" "
Factor In American Life.
Now, divorce certainly is factor
in American life, and don't see why
it should give offense to recognize a
fact. Out of every hundred marriages
in this country sixteen are dissolved
by divorce. Divorce is recognized by
the law in every State of the Union
except one. for causes ranging from
lack of physical fidelity to mental
cruelty" interpreted very broadly IN
Reno.
It is permitted by the entire Prot
estant Church, and this is Protestant
country. There are a great many
frivolous divorces in the United States,
but they are the result of frivolous
marriages.
Other divorces occur for reasons OF
profound incompatibility-which is
the only good reason for divorce-and
where there are children involved the
process is usually extremely painful
for both people who have to go through
it. People don't usually divorce just
for fun.
The rate is extremely high in the
Unitde States, and I suspect that the
reasons are two: there are still more
men than women In this country, and
women own a larger proportion of the
wealth here than they do anywhere
else in the world There is, therefore,

No Reason for Attack by Catholics

great deal Of economic independence
and there is more than one man for
every woman. The Catholic Church Is
opposed to divorce, although it admits
the impossibility Of certain marriages
and occasionally annuls them. A very
good case can be made against divorce.
certainly think 1t can be demon
strated that the relations between
men and women, or between husbands
and wives, are as happy In those coun-
tries that frown on divorce as they are
where divorce is legal and generally
accepted by public opinion. I doubt
whether In the former societies there
is any more sexual fidelity.
But Mrs. Roosevelt's statement was
a plain statement Of fact and she
ought not to be pilloried for making it.
Objections Not Valid.
AS for the film, "The Birth OF a
Baby" l never saw the film; only
saw the stills as published in Life,
but simply cannot understand the
hullabaloo about either Of them. One
might bring journalistic objection
against the film on the ground that
It's not news or an artistic objection
on the ground that the captions are
occasionally banal and sentimental
and the whole picture not particularly
esthetic.
But since its purpose was not to
titillate the public curiosity but to
give graphic, simple description OF
physiological process. with recon-
mendations for prenatal care, these
objections are not valid
There was absolutely nothing pru-
rient about the pictures, and there
was nothing in them that is not al
ready known to every adolescent girl
who has been educated in a good
school or by a careful mother and
has not got her information out of
the gutter
By and large, Mrs Roosevelt's re-
mark, Il never think honest things
are bad" was highly moral state
ment. Courage. generosity and hon.
esty are still the primary virtues OF
free men and the bases of all morality.
This society is not going to be
wrecked because it has too much Of
any one OF The three.
No Edge Against Catholicism.
This column is written without any
edge against Catholicism. But Ca
tholicism exists in this country as a
minority religion. 1t increases it's
numbers by the deep humaneness and
universally of its philosophy and re-
ligion and by the beauty of its ritual.
1t does not, In my belief, help itself
by this sort of personal attack on
honest people who do not share the
attitude of the church on what, from
a non-Catholic point of view, are very
minor matters of opinion.
1t is not at all necessary to agree
with Mrs. Roosevelt in all her opin-
ions-this column often does not
in order to admire her very American
and attractive spirit of independence
and her impulsive -heartedness.
