The Nazis declared themselves
at a loss to understand the ten

pointing out that other European
armies have embarked upon identi-

near Berlin.
Foreign military attaches, in
cluding those of the United States,
are keeping a close watch on de-

Germany will be in an advan-

emergency during the next few
weeks.
Coincident with the maneuvers,
work on Germany's western forti-

The total number of men engaged
In the work was estimated at close

The indictments rocked the
dairy industry to its very core, re-
ports indicated. Louis Janata,
president of the Associated Milk
Dealers, Inc, which was named in
one indictment, said he was ter
ribly surprised"
The Grand Jury, which started
its investigation last July, dealt
with only the Chicago area in con
nection with the reported con-
spiracy to fix milk prices. How
ever, it was indicated the action
here was the forerunner of similar
Investigations in other large cities
of the nation. The investigation
dealing with the ice-cream phase
of the dairy industry was nation
wide.
The Grand Jury heard more
than $50 witnesses and scanned
tons of records of milk and dairy
companies before returning secret
indictments October 81. The in
diCtments then were ordered sup
pressed and it was not until today
that they were opened.
COST IN MILLIONS
During the probe the Govern
ment charged that the Chicago
milkconSuming public paid ap-
proXimately cents quart too
much for its milk. The pennies
collected in that fashion, it was
added, cost the milk-conSuming
public millions of dollars
The milk prices. it was alleged,
were controlled through a con-
Spiracy between dairy companies,
trade associations, the milk wagon
drivers union and city officials.
The milk indictment, covering
the industry from January, 1885,
to date included four counts of
conspiracy. They are:
/. Fixing producer milk prices.
2. Fixing retail prices.
3. Controlling store deliveries.
4. Controlling the flow of milk
in the Chicago milkshed and
principally into the city of Chi
cago.
1t was on the last count that DR..
IBundesen and Captain Gilbert
were named.
Others named in the indictments
are: Borden Company, H. w.

dent in charge of the fluid milk
operation: S. M. Ross of Colum-

desperately bad years of late. We have learned that even an unbelievably rich and fortunate nation can get into a de- pression and can have mortaliy hard time finding its way out. Yet even that ought not to be enough to make millions of Americans conclude that every citizen is entitled to free support by his govern ment once he passes certain birthday.
 Perhaps we have just naturally talked ourselves into blue funk. On the one hand we have politicians declaring that our old business system has collapsed for good and can never work again unless it is controlled and directed from Washing ton; on the other, we have certain busi- ness leaders. asserting that business can never possibly recover unless the govern ment goes fishing or takes long nap or something.
 If all of that has persuaded some citi- zenS that all is lost and that wise man will fasten himself permanently to a fed eral payroll, who can wonder at it? Per- haps if we talked less, spend less time in recrimination, and devoted ourselves more earnestly to an unemotional search for recovery, the panic which lies back of these pension plans would disappear.

Six Miles a Minute

Those two British daredevils who are fighting it out on the Utah salt flats with their freak racing automobiles got the record up to six miles minute on Sep tember 16 Covering the measured mile at that incredible rate, Captain Eyston recaptured the title he had lost the day before the John Cobb.
 The speed duel began on August 27 On that date Eyston broke the record he himself had established the year before The increase was 3729 miles an hour Then Cobb got busy, pushing the speed up again, achieving a rate of 350.2 miles per hour. Eyston wiped out that mark with his six miles minute.
 There will not be many more chances for these rivals to shatter each others records this year. Autumn rains spoil the salt flats for this sort of motoring There will doubtless be other attempts next year, with the same men or new con- tenders, with new and more fantastic speed machines
 Whats it all about and whose does it get them? It's thrill for drivers and Spectators and triumph for the de- signers and manufacturers of the cars with their amazing engines, tires and other special equipment. But like Alice and the Red Queen they go awfully fast without getting anywhere.

Hitler on Parliament

1t was right, it was needful that Cham berlain should have gone to the confer ence with Hitler, seeking world peace. That part of the world which thinks in democratic terms believes that 1t was right and necessary for Chamberlain then to return to discuss this serious and critical matter with the chosen repre- sentatives of his people before taking action. But Hitler, in his book, My Battle, expresses contempt for the whole parliamentary process.
 "It is not the aim of our present-day Democracy to form an aSsemblage ot wise men, but rather to collect together crowd of subservient nonentitieS who can easily be led in certain definite directions, especially if the intelligence of each indl- vidual is limited. .. |. A decision, however harmful to the nation, cannot be put to the shoulders of whole section"
 "Thus there is no responsibility in practice, for this liability can rest on one individual only and not on the assem- blaze of parliamentary chatterboXeS. That institution can only be pleasing or profitable to mendacious craWlers who avoid the light of day, and it must be hateful to any good, straightforward man who is ready to take personal responsl- bility"
 "In contradistinction to the foregoing is the true Germanic Democracy with free choice of the leader along with his obligation to assume entire responsibility for all he does and causes to be done"
 This is the point of view against which the democratic countries are struggling. The above quotations are condensed from a lengthy chapter on this topic, which needs to be read in full to be appreciated: Herr Hitler thinks he makes pretty good case for the personal responsibility of the leader" He forgets to mention one important point:
 His theory assumes "free choice of the leader" And the whole world, including the German people, knows that in Ger many there is no free choice. Chamber lain's mission, judging from Hitler's atti- tude, was foredoomed to failure, or bow to Germany, if he would avoid war, which he eventually did. And this is what Anthony Eden has been trying for many months to make his country understand.

the most brutal Ku Klux Klanism. It flaurts itself as minority lawless- ness, conspiracy, and the badge of the landlords rule by violence.
 Cotton Ed" Smith is no different in any way from his fellow reaction aries within the Democratic party, the Georges, OConnors and Tydings. It is just as ludicrous to view the Georges and Tydings and OConnors as victims of "dictator's purge" as it is to think of the Ku Klux fas- cist, Smith, as defender of "inde- pendence."
 The Garner Democrats, like red shirt" Smith, in the role of demo- cracy's defenders are as funny as Hitler posing as a friend of peace.
 The Tory Democrats eagerly joined by the Hoover Republicans are using the methods of a Goeb- bels to deceive the people as to the true issues in the primary struggles. Senator Smith is against the $11 a week minimum wage law--so he yells against dictatorship" and puts on the red shirt of the Ku Klux Klan. O'Connor of New York k the defender Utility Trust holding con- pany monopoly--so he yells about independence" Tydings of Mary land is the tool of the biggest na- tion-wide monopolies--so he yells invasion of states rights"
 The cry of dictator" comes from the Big Business dictators-- the cry of "independence" comes from the very people who have surrendered all their independence to the service of Wall street monopoly.
 As for the so-called purge" 1t is merely the American people exercis- ing their. democratic, Constitutional right to reject their enemies, and elect representative who will fight for their interests.
 These are the considerations which should be in the mind of every American as he reads the paid-for propaganda from the enimies of the New Deal and progress.

Germany's Weakness

With the present lineup of military powers against Nazi aggression, plus the economic power of other nations, includ- ing our own, naturally sympathetic with the democratic group, it seems incredi- ble that Hitler should plunge into war over Czechoslovakia. Experts point out that Germany is far lower in money, credit and material resources than she was in 1924. War would doubtless result in another military and economic blockade against her.
 Hitler may declare airily, as he has done, that Germany is amply stocked with food, metals and so on, but he may be day-dreaming. It is unlikely that his general staff and economic experts think so.
 General Hugh Johnson, who was in position to know as much about the eco- homie facts of the last war as anyone, and doubtless knows good deal about the situation now, says that not only is Germany virtually going to war on a shoestring, but what advantages she has are rapidly disappearing through the preparations of her potential enemies.
 Hitler is trying, Johnson says, ito bluff the world from worthless hand, and cruelty to deceive his own people,"
